    That rather depends on how old you are.

    Time will tell. Meanwhile, enjoy your EVs, and have a nice day

    Sarcastic. but well said anyway !

    One thing is for sure, just to re-build and change nothing will result in a continuation of the same issues which led to the current conflict.

    Like it or not the law is the law and this foreigner is breaking it.

    Research into a number of alternative power sources is underway including ethanol, hydrogen, propane, LPG, and methanol. One of the reasons this research is being carried out is a widespread concern that EVs' green credentials are far from proven.

    If he said on his application he had never taken drugs he was lying. If, on the other hand, he admitted to taking drugs on his application his visa should not have been granted. Hard to see a way out for him on this.

    I can only hope the cobra was indeed returned safely to its' natural habitat but I somehow doubt it. No idea why snakes cause so much panic here.

    CW in November. In at 0830 out at 1030 having obtained a retirement extension and made a 90 day report. No hassle.

    Many thanks.
  11. Thingamabob
    Many thanks.

    Certainly the opposite of my experience. Regarding the date of the bank book application, Immigration allowed me the previous day after SCB closed their branch at CW. I am only relating my own experience which is that applying for a retirement extension has become much quicker and easier over time, partly perhaps because, apart from my age, not a single one of my details has changed.

    I drive from Bangkok to our place near to Rayong and back, 400 Kms in total approx, twice a month. Any thoughts on whether or not an EV would be practical for this purpose ?
  14. Thingamabob
    You've got to be joking.
  15. Thingamabob
    Agreed. Well said.

    Bank book updated the day before I went to CW. I seem to remember providing more stuff years ago, but as time has gone by, and my 800k has remained untouched, and my details have not changed other than my age (now 83), it has become easier and quicker year by year. Be interesting to know if other old-timers have had a similar experience.

    I provided only the completed application form, my passport and copy, my bank book with 800 k and copy, and bank letter.

    During my application for a retirement extension at CW in December I did not offer, nor was I asked, to provide a TM30.

    Could be. The family will surely want to know the circumstances of his death.
  20. Thingamabob
    The fact that the RTP are not saying how or why he died suggests foul play which would alarm potential visitors to Thailand. We do not know how well-travelled he was but, at 33 years old, he was not that young and should at his age know how to avoid difficult situations.

    As you will, hopefully, be aware, there are several other sources of ethanol, not only sugar cane. Further, as you are also hopefully aware, ethanol is not the only alternative fuel to oil that is being researched.

    Labour determined, one way or another, to hold on to Muslim votes. Without them they would struggle to win in many constituencies in the UK.
  23. Thingamabob
    Confused reporting. Assuming he did, in fact, complete his 4 year sentence on what legal grounds can he be further retained in the UK ?
  24. Thingamabob
    Faults on both sides in this incident.
  25. Thingamabob
    Amazing that there are foreigners here who try to cheat locals out of 50 baht. Go away, and don't come back.
