I do not know that happens at Maha Sarakham.Seems to be a lot around one month and the next month they have disappered,very strange place

Have you checked the missing snake reports at the police station?

That was funny

Even without the OAP, bring $$$ into LOS requires a lotta luck.

My whinge - I do not get the OAP.

If the sh.. hit the fan, I would need to return to Oz & wait 2 years to qualify. Thank you kindly, to the honorable member. Abode in Oz - Vinnies or the Salvos.

Go back for 2 years they will give you New Start.Greatest country in the world

That man would not do it

If you can buy a new computer that still works on Windows 7 it should come with a cd that you can install Windows 8 if you want to.If have got an Asus that operates of Windows 7 but I have the cd to install Windows 8 if I want to.I just use Windows 7 suits me

They have laughed at me a few times when we have gone to the village and I said the food was good.They have go me at least twice maybe more,I am not sure but I think it was dog

I forgot about an account I had at K Bank had nothing in it for 2 years.Went to the bank,spoke to the lady,she said they would have closed it when the card ran out.The card must have a 5 year life because this one doesn't expire until 7/17.Maybe other banks are different

If proven guilty give then 10 years,do the full time then deport them.I nearly got up for a lot of money,on lucky the bank was a jump ahead of them

My wife's sister comes 7 days a week when possible, sometimes for 1 or 2 hours in the morning, late afternoon she spends 1 hour with me while I train/phsyio. She brings her 2 children and we try and have a bit of fun.

The children watch cartoons and when possible I give them little snacks and drinks.

She receives 4,000 from me per month but sometimes won't take it all.

A real diamond as we say.

She is a very good lady

Shitting like a racehorse 15 times in a night you should be in hospital

Could I ask you how days a week your wife's sister comes and how much do you pay her

I feel rather pathetic now, my downstairs bathroom has been modified so I have grab rails to hold my balance. I purchased a single bed for downstairs as I can't make it upstairs.

Cooking is a juggling act with a half warm meal at the end of it. During the day I use a tripod as support and a means of stability, night time I use a frame for safety, no one here to pick me up.

Due to incorrect medication I have collapsed twice resulting in, broken left arm, broken elbow in right side and seven stitches in my head.

What do you think?

You are going ok,the bodys broken down a bit you cannot get that right,keep the mind/brain strong

I hope you are not being worried about Benzo addiction and that is what is keeping you awake.

Have a good wank

Worked for me until Maae caught me.15 years later the matter still arises when she is angry

I tried to help someone this year.Mother had her baby didn't care about the baby,just the money the daughter would send her.I got a call from Auntie who is a good lady.So had gone to her sisters and got the baby and could go and get her niece and bring her home.I made a couple of calls,3 hours later I was talking to her,and she looked terrible.She was a beautiful girl but now a wreck.I got her on the mini bus and she went home.2 days later she was back in the bar.I rang Auntie and she said do not worry everything will be ok we cannot help her.I spoke to a few friends Thai and Farangs and everyone said it would be ok.Well it was within 3 months she was dead.That was it.

On the other hand I have known a guy that takes heroin,nearly 40 same job for a long time never miss a day of work.

I can only see one thing wrong with the OP.You will never get him off the drugs if he doesn't want to.The part when he hears voices if a big concern.If he overdoses a dies so be it.As long as his mental illness doesnt cause harm to others if he goes off his head

Every thing goes great for me.The best thing is she gets that 30000 baht a month from her family which makes it easy on me.They are great people to

As long as Maha Sarakham is there I don't care

It is always possible to break the law. That 20000 is chump change compared to what it will truly cost. Somewhere on TV they're talking about 50 satang whores.

My son phoned me once from somewhere on Earth. Said, Dad they have tutes here for .50 cents. I said, run. There is no such thing .

Son we don't do that.

?????????????????????????

Thats the way Brother

I believe there is blacklisting involved but it is not nearly as severe if you do it voluntarily, which it seems like you would be doing, but I'm not sure if they view clearing it up at immigration the same as the airport.

There is no blacklist or ban for overstay. An announcement made by immigration over a year ago was never approved by a higher authority.

Thats very interesting I wonder what happened to the big crackdown,overstay for so long/banned for so long.I will never need it but very interesting.Thanks for the info

Pay the fine at the airport,nothing for first day,1000 baht for the second day,500 for every day after.You do not have to worry about the coppers they will not put you in jail but might want a little compensation from you.You only problem is if immigration want you and they wouldn't worry a few days

How is your virus protection???

once that magical 12 weeks had been exceeded - it (DSP) stops - no matter what your medical condition is - it stops.

I was re-affirmed, from over the counter, that I should immediately contact Centrelink (as soon as possibe after I land). So in my case I have their phone number at hand for the moment my mobile is switched on again at Tullamarine.

Im a veterans Affairs TPI pensioner also, but even that situation has no bearing on the way a CentreLink Gronk's mind works, as each Dept has their own set of SOPs to work from

anyhows, so long as all these subjective details little details presented suit the OP's questions........... at least he now knows that he's not alone in this quandary

They know when you land.If something is wrong you will get a SMS on your phone before you get out of the airport or at the latest a phone call the next day,it is all linked now.As you say we are getting away from the original so I will you good luck and have a great holiday all the best

I am not a troll. Just curious of your answer as I am in a similar situation.

The US does not have such restrictions but they tax us on our world income. A bar owner in BKK pays SS tax just because he holds a US passport.

same as in Aust, you have to declare all income(s), from any/all country(s) you earn any money in/from.

The restriction can be hard for an outsider to understand.

Aust recently brought this new restriction into force, which affects all on the DSP, depending though on how long one has been overseas for, in any rolling scrolling 365 days period.

On the day I pre-reported (at centrelink) my upcoming 12&half weeks away, I added a tongue in cheek comment over the counter, that I'd gladly not be a pensioner and instead be magically able to work for enough hours per week to be able to feed myself; and that by going overseas for so long - that I am magically cured of my Disability??? don't I wish for that miracle!!!... but no, upon return, one will have to go all through those Dr... Checks from scratch...

...only have the money for the holiday myself, due to selling the house, and downsizing, which leaves some little excess for travelling with

At least in my case, with reference to (mickjn's angle), my own medical situation precludes any meaningful employability (permanently), so thankfully Newstart is irrelevant to me. For the last 10 years I was even exempted from having to do that old 5 years re-testing for DSP.

DSP can be a headache... especially when Centrelink thinks that long holidays, especially overseas ones - cures disabilities

I would have another go at them.If you have been signed off by 2 doctors you should have to do nothing.I have a brain tumor that came back 3 times,and then radiation.2 doctors signed me off work and that was the end.They rang me once a year and asked how I was going I said I was slowly getting worse which I was but if they could get me a job and I was covered by work cover if I fell arse over head at work I would go back to work which I wanted to.After 3 years they never rang me again

If I worked at Centrelink I wouldn't want to sit with half of the knuckleheads that show up there.

They were in the news recently, fighting staff physically boxing and wrestling because one guy was asked to turn his music down.

Singlets, 10 body piercings, thongs, covered in tatts, impolite and generally obnoxious.

Absolutely disgusting, then if the Centrelink staff asked someone to lift their game, they would cry foul and say they were being discriminated against.

Yeah,he wasn't a nice guy

.Have you been put on the DSP and the doctor will give you 3 months at the start increased by another 3 months and so on but they are saying in time you will be able to return to work or have you been signed off by 2 doctors and you are permantley on the DSP.I think if you have not been put off permanently you will start off again,they will put you on Newstart before you qualify for the DSP again.

Also I am not sure about the DSP but I think they are the same as the OAP with this rule,you do not have to notify them any more when you go overseas,you do not know it but immigration do it for you.That metallic strip in the passport was buggered us up.You hand your passport to Immigration,they scan it,Centrelink know

All the best ,good luck
