  1. So much sneering and loathing of Thailand and Thai people in these postings. If you don't like it here do the rest of us a favour and go and live somewhere else.
  2. Maybe you could consider moving to a less 'silly country' as you describe Thailand. Personally I do not regard Thailand to be a 'silly country' and, by the way, in my case, and in my family's case, I have never had any problems with stray dogs here.
  3. How would an automatic gearbox prevent the driver from carelessly engaging drive instead of reverse ?
  4. Most animals world-wide are, and always have been, treated with appalling cruelty.
  5. In nearly 40 years never once used an agent, however at 80 years of age it is likely that sooner or later I will have to. Gone are the days, apparently, when the old and infirm could ask for house visits by immigration in order to complete the annual extension.
  6. Trump entirely right to try to decrease the disastrous trade dependency on China. Hopefully other Western leaders will do the same, but don't bank on it.
  7. 700 billion sounds like a lot of money from the UK, even if described as a 'loan'.
  8. I agree, Boris will likely win the next UK election in spite of the current odds sgainst.
  9. This law, introduced by Thaksin, is one of the most stupid ever enacted in Thailand. Utterly pointless, and a real turn-off for tourists/visitors/people generally. Thankfully ignored by many outlets, however this half-assed statement from today's government is almost as stupid as the original law.
  10. Andrew was advised never to go anywhere near an American court. Good advice given the farcical, xenophobic way they work. Better to pay up and be thought guilty, rather than be found guilty even if innocent.
  11. Wearing a mask doesn't bother me. If that's what's required I'll go along with it. Rather pathetic not to do so.
  12. Dog/animal haters right on cue with this 'news'. Be ashamed.
  13. In the UK, my home country, the national health service is in a mess, it takes weeks to see a doctor, and the elderly are nothing like as well treated there as we are in Thailand. I will stick with my original decision over 35 years ago to retire to Thailand, and to live and die here.
  14. This us the normal 90 day report form. Take it in person together with your passport to your nearest IO. Quick and easy, with no hassle.
  15. Why don't you go to CW in person ? Quick and easy, with no hassle.
  16. I recently obtained a new UK passport via VFS in Bangkok. I was told it could take 12 weeks but in fact it took only 6 weeks. Simple and straightforward. Good service with no hassle.
