Hard-line, and some not so hard-line, governments world-wide enjoying every minute of the covid 19 panic. It assures them of total control into the foreseeable future. 

Shameful, but sadly most people here will accept it as normal.

Good to hear from so many satisfied IO customers. Add me to the list. For over 40 years I've never had a problem with Thai Immigration, never been near an agent and, up to now, at 78 years of age, have no intention of doing so. 

In fact the USA response has been pretty much in line with most western countries if you take account of population size, and the 'dying with' as opposed to 'dying of' the covid19 numbers game.

No excuse whatever for such utterly disgraceful behaviour. Makes us all look bad. Deport him, with his broken leg, with no chance of a return, ever.

The good news just keeps on flowing ????. So we get a clean Brexit with no ties to the EU. No need to let them deplete our fishing waters, no need to donate 100 Billion to the post Covid wealth transfer scheme, no need to follow their protectionist rules and laws, no ECJ Jurisdiction. No more membership fees. Marvelous.

 

Personally I would withhold the 39 Billion divorce payment as well, since the EU has clearly failed to negotiate in good faith as set out in the political declaration. 

 

Roll on December. Over 4 years of fighting the anti democrats and their shameful propaganda will all have been worth it. Independence at last ✊.

 

 

Well said.

Strongly suggest you make every effort to calm things down. Confrontations like this don't end well here. 

The over-reaction to covid 19 is ridiculous. The lockdowns are destroying the livelyhoods of future generations. They will not forgive us for what we have done.

what is pathetic - that people have a problem sending in a 90 day report? and complain about it? 

Too many foreign whingers, whiners and moaners in Thailand these days. If you don't like it here just go away and don't come back.

1. Got to say I see lots of Thais with horrible sores/bites/scars on their legs.

I think it's to do with insect bites, from living in stick huts, and/or parasites (Bilharzia?).

But agree, they probably don't have enough money to eat in western food restaurants.

 

There used to be a big old white guy in Mad Dog all the time who appeared to have half his face rotting off.

I stopped eating there because of him, I don't think he was dirty.

 

2. When people type this I think 'Colonel Blimp' types wearing cargo shorts, white socks and sandals.

..and a pith helmet.

Maybe she was just having a bad day..

Lucozade.

I was last there in 1983, together with the girl who is now my wife. As old timers will know it was a paradise in those days. The 'progress' which has since taken place there is sad beyond belief.

At this time Thailand is a good place to be, relatively speaking. 

Better make sure that her security/suicide watch stays in place, and that the security cameras don't suddenly stop working. BTW, she hasn't been found guilty of anything at this point.

So now that this has been done, where do I go if I already had an appointment scheduled for next Tuesday, July 14, to process my 90-day report?  The appointment still shows Counter B-65 at Government complex.    (I always do it online, but with the app and website down for the past 2 weeks I was unable to process it that way.)  

 

Admin- Feel free to move this if I need to post it elsewhere.  

Last week I completed my 90 day report at CW. In and out in 45 minutes.

I'm reading this as the OP not having the money, hence the use of a "sponsor" earlier who put it up.

 

That being the case and as the application is now already slightly overdue, the agent route is probably the only feasible way out.

Which will cost.

It was a simple request, any ideas on how we as a group can petition the government or anyone to include retirees entering the country. Really simple request. If not say no, if yes, please do explain, great thanks. 

No.

I have no problem with this. Only small money involved and, anyway, it happens all over the world with university fees, theatre tickets etc. 

20 years ago we bought a Volvo 850 GLE estate with 150,000kms on the clock. We still have it, now with 300,000kms on the clock. Looks like new, runs like a dream.
