  1. A protest against a highly suspect election result more like.
  2. Hopefully. The alternative is for the conflict to go on for the foreseeable future.
  3. Whether or not these were genuine Thai police, it is bad for Thailand's image. No reason for the Taiwanese lady to have made up this story.
  4. You can go anywhere you choose im th EU unless you can't be bothered to obtain the relevant visas. Not exactly an onerous ecercise.
  5. One of the few good things people say about Trump is that he doesn't do self-pity. In other words he never 'wallows in his sorrows'.
  6. Well done by all concerned. I hope the baby pachyderm will live a long and happy life.
  7. A load of BS from the 'spokesman'. It's all about how the proceeds are apportioned within the RTP.
  8. It remains to be seen. Most complex tax returns involve a great deal of dialogue with the authorities before they are agreed.
  9. My advice ? Always build a brick wall topped with broken glass or some such. A cheap pair of pliers will make a large hole in that mesh in no time at all.
  10. Many of us could have told you that was going to happen. Thai immigration have their rules and procedures, as do all countries. Before embarking on any course of action involving the immigration authority here, best to do a bit of research first.
  11. I must assume this is meant as a joke, in which case 5 out of 10 for the attempt, otherwise take a serious reality check combined with a hefty degree of honest introspection.
  12. It doesn't take much to upset the PM. He seems to be unable to cope with much other than routine, pre-planned events.
  13. I hadn't realized there was an immigration office at Laksi. Is it possible to get extensions of stay there, and to do 90 day reports ?
  14. Lucky for you. Poor, unfriendly, service generally, apart from a small number of branches. I have had accounts at SCB since Standard Chartered closed their retail business here, and my impression is they are none too keen on westerners.
  15. What are you doing to it ? I hope it's not what it appears to be.
  16. Not really. Jobs that can be done by Thais reserved for Thais seems reasonable to me.
  17. Sounds like a heart attack or a stroke. My father survived a massive heart attack in his early fifties. He played golf and tennis, and appeared very fit.
  18. The Pollution Control Department office is on Pahonyothin Rd. It has a sea water control division.
  19. Such a sad story. A young lady who suffered in silence until she could no longer endure the cruel bullying to which she was subjected. I hope those who taunted her will be called to account, and I pray that she is now resting in peace.
  20. No sympathy whatsoever. Anyone who enjoys cock-fighting is at one and the same time both moronic and sadistic.
  21. I recently had stamps transferred to a new UK passport at CW, supported by an embassy letter supplied by VFS. Nothing else required. If you need, or want, to use an agent I would suggest that the one you currently have should be able to deal with this without any hassle for you.
  22. I welcome this, but I'm far from sure many of the working girls/women will. Many of them enjoy the freedom of being outside the law and off the radar. Anyway, highly doubtful it will ever happen given local sensitivities on the issue.
