    That would make your extension applications unacceptable to immigration at Chaeng Wattana. They insist the account with an 800k deposit must be in the applicant's name only. I have no idea, however, if other immigration offices apply the same ruling

    Lighten up for heaven's sake.

    Very inconvenient for you, however the car's removal will involve a negotiation, in Thai. Your wife's concern is understandable. Be careful. Disputes in Thailand on this subject can result in death, as was the case in a recent, widely reported, incident.

    Much the same. First marriage to a girl from Scotland. Not good. Second, now for nearly 40 years, to a Thai, has been much better, good friends and a lot of fun.

    China and Russia are obviously a threat, but so is Iran. Trump took a hard line with Iran, but Biden has been significantly softer. Reports suggest that in the last 2/3 years Iran has stepped up the pace of it's development of nuclear weaponry, and will likely have an atomic bomb well within 5 years. That is something to be very concerned about.

    Likewise, after 40 years married.

    Generally correct, but not entirely. Some, albeit a minority, are genuinely good people, as they are in the same work in any country.

    China's grip on Thailand tightens a step further.

    There are no new tax regulations, only an apparent move by the Thai govt to better enforce legislation which already exists.

    Personally I think they look pathetic rather than offensive. However, most Thais would not like to see this and their culture should be respected by visitors.

    Pattaya and nearby areas excellent for families. Reports rubbishing Pattaya are rubbish.

    Obviously your last entry date.

    Disgusting, and entirely against the tenets if Buddhism. However, not surprising given the idolatry and greed exhibited at so many temples in Thailand, so very far removed from the philosophy and advice advanced by Siddhartha Gautama.

    I fear that will be the case.

    Not fair to mongrels.

    The govt need higher numbers of low-spend tourists to meet it's revenue requirement. They could have pushed for lower numbers of high spenders but chose not to, sad to say.

    Used not to be the case. In the old days people here with money kept a very low profile. Increasing Chinese influence changed all that, and showing off has become the norm.
  18. Thingamabob
    Thaksin running the show, albeit low profile.
  19. Thingamabob
    Do you mean higher floor, or are you joking ?

    Rightly or wrongly it was reported in the UK Times that Trump was appealing the guilty verdict.
  21. Thingamabob
    Evidence ?
  22. Thingamabob
    The police close all bank accounts ? Really ? Does that include joint accounts ?
  23. Thingamabob
    Snouts well and truly in the trough...

    No bear should be caged, nor any other animal. Cruel beyond belief.

    This is vague. Far from certain the attacker was an elephant.
