Very well said.

Neither clever nor funny.

.....and then you will get real trouble.

Never used an agent, never needed one.

Sad story. Lock him up.

I have always reported for the 90 day requirement in person, as I have always done when applying for my annual extension. For over 30 years I've never had any problems, and I would suggest that with any inter-reaction with Thai immigration the personal approach is the best approach.

The fun atmosphere, which was amazing 50 years ago, has faded over the years. I fear it will continue to fade under the current administration, but I doubt it will ever be entirely extinguished.

Ban Bueng, again .....

The so-called war on drugs is a huge waste of time and money. For example, the DEA in the USA has achieved nothing over many years. Just jobs for the boys and brown envelopes going in all directions.

I hope the elephant is ok. They are so badly treated by their mahouts, being cruelly hit with pointed hooks and given amphetamines instead of food. I'm amazed that one of your readers apparently finds this funny.

At CW yesterday morning I obtained my one year retirement extension which was stamped into my new UK passport. The extension was due to expire on 20 December. All completed by 1130 hrs with no hassle

If Nonthaburi office is open I would go there in person. They are more helpful there than Sukhumvit or Chatuchak.

If you were at Bangkok Immigration (CW) you would have a problem with this. Not sure about anywhere else. Best to maintain a minimum 420k baht in your a/c to avoid a recurrence.

At CW this morning. Proof of vaccination required to enter the building but no mention of this in Immigration. Extension of permission to stay a further one year granted, with no hassle, at 1130 hrs.

Entirely up to them. BTW, to me she looks more like thirty than twenty.

Yes.

Well said.

It's not us oldies who talk about sex; we tend to just get on with it given our time is limited. It's the younger guys who go on about it. Boring, and has many of us heading for the nearest vomitarium. Or were you trying to be funny ?

Take me to the vomitarium....

The USA is losing out to China all over East Asia.

Lock them up, throw away the key.

The cruel way most humans have always treated animals, directly or indirectly, is a disgrace.

Well said.

Everything seems to be up for sale in the UK.

I don't think I'd be coming here if I was a tourist. Not much fun about these days, particularly so in the evenings.
