Seems a fair enough price to me. Not sure why you have a problem with it.

I doubt this story will be of any interest to most people here.

What don't you understand about the phrase "increased solar activity"?

You've missed the point. Never mind. Keep trying.

the MWP was not a globally uniform event.

 

Possible causes of the MWP include increased solar activity, decreased volcanic activity, and changes in ocean circulation.

 

None of those conditions exist at the current time. There are no natural issues which might affect climate change to cause warming at present.

Wrong.  Solar activity is a permanent condition.

Personally do my extensions by myself.

Never used an agent.

Currently banged up due to hip replacement....

Can certainly imagine a time when I use agent.

In your friends case the agent would do extensions on going based on retirement. Approx 15k per year.

Immigration so far has not provided good options for the infirm.

 

They used to. They would come to the residence of the old and infirm to process the application. Not any more, sad to say.

RTP at their best. Culprit gets away and they get the drugs.

Correct.

Having read all posts in this thread, I get the feeling that Thailand might not be the best holiday or long-term destination for the OP...

Yes, not the best destination for the OP given the tone of his comments. Problem for him is most immigration authorities around the world can be awkward to say the least. 

Good for her. Doing her best to help otherwise helpless animals.

Never had any problems of this nature with VFS who are efficient and helpful, and have never retained my passport. I suspect you will get a response after the current holidays. 

Best to follow the rules however smart you think you are.

Probably good to give your liver and kidneys a break for a while.

What's in it for Chuwit to be publicizing this sort of thing?

1. To keep his name in the news?

2. Because he cares about public morality?

3. Because he wasn't cut in?

4. Because he despises the RTP and wants to show he's justified?

5. Because his constant theme is that the country runs on corruption and this is the latest prime example? 

6. Because in his old age he's a joy killer? 

7. He dislikes the power and influence of Chinese entrepreneurs?

I'll go for number 5 above.

Covid numbers world-wide are totally unreliable, being either under-reported or over-reported in many countries. Impossible to know what's really going on.

Sadly the days are long gone when Immigration, the Banks etc. would come to your house in these circumstances.

Can't really see why the media is calling ths a shambles. The organization/security at many big matches in Europe is also far from perfect.

Stop manipulting  iw ould say.... The THB can't be strong as there are too many negative factors.... 10 days ago 37.5 for a euro now 36.4.. It is not good fot tourism, Thauland will be too expensive..Rising prices, double pricing for foreigners, higher inflation than expected a censure debat coming up, and bad economical figures..... and still the THB moves in the wrong direction..

Upwards manipulation of the baht has mostly been the norm here in order to assist the elites with their overseas investments in property etc. However they got badly caught out in the 1997/8 crash, but I doubt they will allow that to happen again. I seem to remember getting 70 baht plus to the UK pound around that time.

Happy days !

South Africa facing more and more serious issues as each day goes by, sad to say.

In over 40 years of working, and later living in retirement, in Thailand I have never been asked for any form of 'legalisation' of my UK passport/passports. However, I married my Thai wife in Taiwan and had the marriage certificate approved and stamped by the Thai embassy in Hong Kong, which was accepted in Thailand by the Thai immigration authority when applying for an annual extension based on marriage. The validity of my UK passport has never once been questioned during these procedures.

Interesting comments on Boris Johnson, much the same as those made by Vladimir Putin. On a more serious subject, very sad to see you confess to being a Spurs supporter. Oh dear.....

No excuse for theft but in this case it appears the house owners have been totally negligent.
