Is there safe air for breathing.... anywhere in Thailand?

 

 

Surrounded by 'green' where I am in Pattaya.

Yes,but I don’t think the cannabis is helping…

I would imagine you cannot smoke in a taxi anywhere in the world these days, the police should have taken him straight back to the airport and put him on the next plane, simple as that

They tried that but insisted on smoking in the police car… 😞

Not since early February 2019. However, I do know that if I compared downtown Rayong with downtown San Francisco, it would be the latter that appeared to be a Third World city, not Rayong.

was stopped by a Thai police officer while trying to cross the street. He noticed a bulge in my pocket and asked me to show him what it was. I think he might have assumed it was drugs. So I pulled out my

It will take the ICJ years to issue a definitive judgement. There will need to be sanctions long before that if another Nakba is to be avoided. This is a matter for the world to decide. It is not up to Israel's whim.

Not wanting a repeat of the deliberate slaughter and brutalisation of 1200 of its civilians is a "whim" is it..?

do not think that this judgement will influence Israel's decision in any way , but ... up to Israel ... they will need to live with the consequences .

They are having to live with the consequences of 1200 murdered Israeli civilians,not to mention hostages and the atrocities committed by Hamas. What they are fully entitled to do is ensure they don't have to live with the consequences of a repeat episode,the repeat Hamas had publicly stated they want to achieve. Israel is rightfully ensuring it's not going to happen again

Absolutely correct for Chiang Mai. Other immigration offices may abide by different interpretations of the rules.

 

 

Yes,that's Thailand immigration for you!

In Korat, a NEW TM-30 is REQUIRED if you LEAVE the country - even with all visa / extension paperwork up to date and returning to same address, before you can do a 90 day report.

1st hand knowledge, happened to me.

In Korat also my on line report after returning worked fine without any TM30 update. Ironically it didn't work next 90 days after visa extension and TM 30 update! Tit...

Went in person yesterday instead and when asked the bloke just kept repeating ”Error” (with internet)

This is exactly what happened to me. It seems to be a general rule, I even found it on the internet somewhere.

No,did mine on line 90days after returning,no problem

Each time you renter the first 90 day report has to be filed at immigration.

WRONG!

The usual insane reply. There is no rhyme or reason within Thai Immigration. They enjoy treating the farang as their whipping boy.   I have filed applications online which left boxes unchecked and several other errors and gotten approval. Your experience validates my theory that they just enjoy playing with us.

Hanlon’s razor is more likely.

After years of seamless 90 day reporting on line I too just had my application rejected. Strangely I didn’t get the usual reminder email . This is the first 90 day after retirement visa extension in January so everything was completely up to date and I was 13 days before due date so comfortably within the window. I always double check my information is correctly entered. There is obviously something amiss with the system at the moment. Korat office.
