Unelected puppets thwart the will of the people again. What a shocker. ????

Yep. Social status is second only to the love of money in “Buddhist” Thailand.

“Voted for by the people?” ???? Don’t you mean “voted for (and rigged) by the coup makers in order to ensure their hold on power in spite of the ‘will of the people?’”

Man, imagine being so entitled that accountability and/or the absence of deferential treatment is perceived as “bullying.” This jackal is the poster boy for everything that’s wrong with this country.

Yep. Unfortunately, you’re trying to reason with people who only give a <deleted> about those public health issues which affect them personally.

Coming from a country where rules and laws are more like suggestions and where enforcement and accountability are highly selective, to put it mildly, the disqualification must have come as a real shock to her.

Good. Don’t want to sully Thailand’s international reputation as a bastion of purity and chastity. ????

Bingo. Money is the most important thing in the world to Thais, but “face” is a very close second.

Farang English teacher in Thailand: “Hey, that’s my line!”

No, but he was referenced in another post in this thread. I hesitate to be more specific on account of the goofy defamation laws.

I've been searching for the same to no avail for years now. I do almost all of my own setup and repair work, with the exception of fret dresses and re-frets. As a trial, I took one of my least expensive guitars to a luthier in BKK who was highly recommended by numerous expats here on AN and on various FB groups, etc., for a re-fret, and this individual did a really crappy job, unfortunately. First of all, he used the wrong gauge fret wire. Second, the frets looked like he had basically just run a file over them and called it a day, i.e., no real effort went into crowning and polishing. Glue was slopped on the side of the fingerboard, and he didn't bother to remove it. Anyway, the search for a repair person who does pro-level work goes on...

What if you haven't worked in ~10 years and have no tax documents to show? Also, am I correct in understanding a sufficient bank balance counts as an asset?

“Feign” is the key word. In reality, they spend in inordinate amount of time sniveling and crying about how pronouns, LGBT people, minorities, immigrants, liberals and the “woke mob” are ruining their lives.

Right? Regressive idiots like this guy give the rest of us a bad name.

There’s your problem right there.

So does this mean USCIS has done away with in-person interviews with the spouse beneficiary for those of us who are residing in and applying from Thailand...or how does that work?

I already applied via consular processing in BKK and was given a case number. I also received a processing time estimate and I'm getting regular case updates.

Are we talking about just a balance in a savings account? BTW, has anyone in Thailand applied for a green card (consular processing) for their Thai spouse lately? If so, then what was your wait time?

I remember his various lackeys and members of his "entourage" used to park in my parking spot all the time at the condo building where we were neighbors. Bunch of entitled d-bags.

This guy was my next door neighbor for about a year back in 2016-2017.

It's not just the lack of knowledge; it's the total disinterest and complete lack of anything resembling intellectual curiosity that I find troubling. I don't begrudge ignorance, mind you - particularly in those people who simply lack educational opportunities. Willful ignorance, however, is an entirely different story.

And the general lack of knowledge in those subject areas is shocking as well - particularly for a country where you can't swing a cat without hitting a temple or a shrine.

Nah - just transferred. Not unlike the parish priest who gets caught diddling kids.

For her audition/job interview, she played a slobbering blues on the bone-a-phone. ????

“Lured?” The recruiter probably stood on the Myanmar side of the border with a fly rod and cast his line using an iPhone 14 or a Chanel handbag as bait.
