Extension retirement at CW report.
Thingamabob replied to DrJack54's topic in Thai Visas, Residency, and Work Permits
I've lived and worked on 4 continents. To this day, for me, Thailand is by far and away the best place to be. Minimal hassle and friendly people. Never used an agent for extensions and have always found the process simple and straightforward. Anyway, I wish you well, and hope things turn out well for you. -
PM calls for country transformation after reopening
Thingamabob replied to webfact's topic in Thailand News
Over the years snotty elite Thai killjoys have tried to change the character of Thai nightlife/entertainment. They have always failed, and I suspect they will fail again even with the dictatorial powers that they have adopted as a result of covid. -
A reminder why Thailand is such a great place to live
Thingamabob replied to PizzaBoi's topic in General Topics
Went back to the UK 5 years ago intending to stay for a month. Left after 2 weeks. So sad to see what the UK has become. I prefer to remember it as it once was. -
Panic attack followed by acute depression.
Thingamabob replied to giddyup's topic in Health and Medicine
I'm the same age as yourself. I have found living day by day, rather than worrying about what our limited future holds, is helpful. Not easy to do, but worth a try if that is part of your problem. If not, I would recommend exercise, especially swimming. -
Best of luck with that. The only country in which I have been mugged, twice.

Rescued dog from beach Pattaya
Thingamabob replied to fredscats's topic in Plants, Pets & Vets in Thailand
Bless you for your kindness. Having done so much to restore his health I can't believe you would put him back on the beach. I just hope a better solution can be found. ATB. -

Couple arrested for having sex next to historic Chiang Mai monument
Thingamabob replied to webfact's topic in Chiang Mai News
Let's get this straight once and for all. There is no sexual activity in Thailand according to government sources. Any reports contradicting this are fake news. -
Pubs and bars to remain closed in 17 pilot areas after November 1
Thingamabob replied to webfact's topic in Thailand News
Some posters here seem to think this is a phased strategy. Looks more like a shambles to me. -
Gen Prawit orders proactive crackdown on human trafficking
Thingamabob replied to webfact's topic in Thailand News
What a load of drivel. I doubt that he could care less about this issue. -
Thailand announces reopening rules for tourism reboot
Thingamabob replied to snoop1130's topic in Thailand News
Unless the bars etc are opened I can't imagine many tourists will want to come to Thailand. The govt has to choose, either they want the tourists and the associated covid risks, or they don't want them. There is no middle road that will work.
