  1. Well he's managed to make himself useful at least on this occasion. Amazed there were photographers there to capture the moment!... Those guys must be psychic.
  2. We won't be venturing further than the local Lotus supermarket, I hope those on the roads exercise caution but sadly it's always the same old, same old when there's a holiday. Alcohol in, brains out.
  3. That surprises me, especially with the way the authorities are so strong on littering in Halong Bay! Also, in Hanoi I watched them all throw all their garbage into the street from the bars and restaurants, however, immediately behind were teams of workers cleaning it all up and putting it into waste wagons at 1.00am in the morning.
  4. Be quick, he needs it for the holiday! Government employees and bank employees will be paid. I can't see Somchai on a Bangkok building site getting the same treatment.
  5. They are serving their apprenticeships as pickpockets!
  6. They do indeed and the golden rule is, sleep with dogs, you wake up with fleas!
  7. Yeah, and next week they'll be having a ' crackdown '
  8. Agreed, They should be doing soapy massages and a three course meal as well.
  9. I would stay out a month, but that's only what I would do personally. I would let the dust settle. It seems you have basically been playing the system, which many people do, but you unfortunately hit the wrong Immigration officer. It's a risk you take.
  10. The Postie has heard all the stories about foreigners coming here and building houses, giving away pick ups and motorbikes so is just fancying his chances. Promotions at the Post Office are a bit thin on the ground at the moment.
  11. The OP originally stated he'd been refused at Phuket after being granted a tourist visa in Penang. I am not implying anything sinister or that he is a bad person or anything but he has attempted to drip feed the board by what actually happened. By this I mean after board members queried him, up pops the three day overstay when first stating he had absolutely nothing wrong in the passport. Then he mentioned further down the line in another post the IO was suggesting he didn't have funds to support himself, then there was the suggestion that he was living here, which he probably is to all intents and purposes. Furthermore, there is the situation of members asking him to post the actual refusal in the passport on here, so that it can be looked at, he has chosen to swerve this request made by multiple posters which suggests he obviously doesn't want you to see the visa and reasons for refusal. So it's obvious asking advice on here and not telling the whole story that posters will become suspicious. Moving next what he himself says, about why was he granted a visa in the first place, as though it is now the fault of the Thai Embassy in Penang? Well a visa can be double checked at immigration points, the same applies to those granted visas to the UK or Europe if an IO is suspicious. In the UK, and I have known it happen, where a person has been turned around and sent back basically accused of obtaining a visa by deception/under false pretenses OR obtaining a visa not used for its intended purpose. I wouldn't start waving the rules, regulations and Thai law around to an IO. AFAIK, An IO can refuse you at the border regardless of the fact you have a visa. I wouldn't personally attempt to be a smart-ass by trying a different immigration point in a day or so. I would stay away and have a month in Cambodia. Two refusals would not look good in a passport. But as they say, up to you!
  12. The gossips know pushing these areas can cause conflict with the couple and lead to arguments and bust ups and they enjoy this. They are not fools and know they are causing friction.They get nothing out of it except the satisfaction of stirring the pot! If he buys a house , then its the next thing like Where's the new car? They get a buzz from it. They have nothing to do and causing problems is a pastime in Isaarn fuelled by their own inadequacy. They are notorious gossips. The OPs lady needs to toughen up and tell them she is well taken care of and happy and her financial situation is her own business It's good advice as that is whst mine did to handle the troublemakers, after talking to me and asking me how she should respond.
  13. They treat her with kindness and she behaves like pond life. A disgusting ungrateful creature, but they should have checked and inspected their property as a matter of general maintenance regardless whether she is a relative. Sometimes relatives are the biggest liberty takers.
  14. I just had one a month or so ago at my local government hospital after having a screening in UK and they recommended one So, everything looking fairly OK. I didn't realise there was so much to growing old gracefully.????
  15. Usually when booking the ticket. Qatar air does the same for priority or premium seats unless you are a Gold member, then its free for aisle and legroom seats. I have witnessed many problems on board with Qatari/ Arab guests, who board the plane and don't pay for priority seats and then the wives just try to move fare paying passengers around so that they can sit with their husbands and kids. This causes stress to cabin crew and distress to other passengers who must sit and listen to the arguments of these people trying to force their own way but don't want to pay the fees. The guy should be banned from Thai Airways and any alliance group of flight partners that THAI is a member of. Flying is stressful enough, we don't need clowns like this making it worse.
  16. Well, the two EMS guys will be having a right laugh tonight whilst sat having their food with the family! I bet the guy hopes he doesn't bump into these two in Lotus whilst he's out getting the weekly shopping. You got to love the mirth on their faces, they are doing their best and struggling to stop themselves rolling around on the floor.
  17. Hi, Just back from Khonkaen. According to the report my triglycerides were 97 last year and 117 this year Sheryl........... I believe this is well within limits. The Whole abdomen test went well. No causes for concern. The Gallstone is indeed a small gallstone and not a tumor. They said they could determine this as it had moved, if it had been a tumor it would have been attached to something. A slightly fatty liver I was told, slightly enlarged prostate but they said this is common for my age. There were no dense areas of concern, no masses, no tumors, and no suspicious looking areas of concern. So, diet to focus on now and a bit of healthy living, cut down calories food wise; as well as moderate exercise.
  18. Most of the druggies and alcoholics I came across in Toronto were native North Americans, if that's the correct terminology.
  19. ???? With my bank it is 100K -500K a day. I don't understand your post or am I confused?
  20. That's the Golden question and the most important one!
  21. I will check, just on my way now to Khonkaen for the whole abdomen scan. Will be doing those things you and others recommended.
