It was me who posted on monday about a large gathering of red clothed thugs on the slip road off Viphavadi Rd to the Transport office, and I suggested things were about to kick off. About 4pm yesterday I had to take the same route (this location is about 300 metres from my office)and surprise surprise about 200 metres from the scene was a gathering crowd of yellow shirts who appeared to be armed the same as their opposition, with pangas and wooden staves. What did surprise me tho was that the PAD thugs were well organised and even had white clothed medics with red crosses on their shirts in attendance.

It is now widely publicised what occurred later and let me tell you it was scary when I passed by, anyone who voluntarily gets mixed up in gang warfare like this should expect no sympathy at all.

Same same for me over the last seven years. Although constantly being told I am wrong, I always experienced that the WP duration follows the Immigration Non B Visa. 6 months visa=6 months WP etc etc

Driving along Viphavadirangsit this afternoon, I wondered why the traffic was so heavy. transpired that a group of thugs (thats what they are) wearing red bandanas and armed with clubs and chain etc had closed the slip road towards the Government transport offices.

I saw at least one car hit by these thugs when the driver probably argued his case to use the road.

The traffic was blocked, people were having their cars attacked and yet not a policeman to be seen.

Seems as if the recipe for bloodshed and violence is almost ready for testing

i am looking to purchase a laptop for the office, needs to be all singing and dancing. Any suggestions of brands etc ?

Basically I would suggest you are immature and very much out of your depth with a long distance relationship. It also appears that she is a gold digger and maybe the present situation is the best for you.

I have the same requirement, but I only need a couple of clubs to see if I can get into the game, need for driving range only - am in BKK

Are we misreading this news report ??? The amount of smuggled items quoted surely did not come from this one lady !! There was a warning on TV a couple of months ago of increased X Raying of incoming baggage at the Airport. I can confirm this as three times in the last two months that I have returned to BKK every suitcase going through has been checked and not randomly but without exception.

I was up in Kanchanburi yet again last weekend, this time with a Chinese lady, her genuine grief and non stop tears at the cemetary made me realise that such horrors are not bound by borders.

Unfortunately it was a large tour group of elderly Europeans who really let the side down sloppily dressed, smoking and noisy. They were very firmly put in their places by the Thai Cemetary Warden- Well done to him.

Final sour note was at the River Kwai restaurant/shop next to the brisge where my companion was sold a DVD of the Bridge over the River Kwaimovie and was promised it was an original for 300 Baht.

She got it back to China to find that only the first 30 minutes of the movie was burnt onto the DVD B**tard

If anone can tell me where I can get a decent copy in Bangkok I woul appreciate it

NHJ, hard to fathom out, one can have the right to work but maybe not the right to reside ??

Thanks Mario, so you are saying that Immigration Visa follows Labour WP ????

Is this a new procedure

Suggest you locate a properly sealable metal "military" type container, definately not a plastic one. If the trunk is hot then every so odten vent out the expanded fumes

Ok situation is as follow:-

Non Imm B visa valid until November 24th 2008, Work Permit same. Went to Immigration last Friday to attempt to extend Non imm B for a year, was rejected as paperwork incomplete.

Today Office HR lady told me that all paperwork now complete and she would go to Labour Dept to renew my WP for a year.

Question, I always thought that WP followed validity of Non Imm B Visa or has this changed ? Surely extension of Non Imm B must be the priority followed by renewal of WP.

Seems that the Left Hand does not know what the Right hand is doing

Has anyone ever had the experience of applying for a Nonn Imm B 1 year multi entry visa in Kunming

Am interrested as it may be a "out of the way" Consulate and they may be a little more relaxed

That's because they are sent for approval in batches. The sign says to allow at least 30 mins.

sorry dotcom but that is an incorrect statement, there are two workers in the re entry section, one does the checking of your application and then hands over to the officer who stamps your passport.

The forms are done in front of you and are not "sent for approval in batches"

As for the 30 minutes sign, I agree with you on that, however if they took the blasted TV away from the staff then that 30 mins would decrease big time

Thanks people, including Mr twilight for your responses. Did what was suggested and found my timing setting for GMT +7 (Bangkok, Hanoi etc was correctly set.

By the way, I didnt mean my postings are showing the wrong time BUT ALL

Can anyone explain the fact that posting times seem to be advanced by an hour on actual times

Boarding pass first. Not sure what time they close. By the way the required form can be downloaded, this is important as you can fill it in before you pay them a visit

My experience shows that the biggest problem is an arrogant staff member in the Visa section who is in fact a Filipino ! We have had many a fight in the past

This credit crunch is a real bitch !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Not strictly true, I think they mean Pihilippine residents not nationals.

However dig deeper into the Visa forum and you will see that for a number of years members have advised to steer clear of the Thai Consulate in Manila

cancer or no cancer, this guys timing is immaculate !! Signs the contract for the BMA/Steyr fire trucks on his last day as BMA Governor then departs for "medical treatment" in the States a couple of days before the Corruption Committee sit to discuss the BMA deal !

But must admit the pictures of him at the Airport show he is not a well man

huggybear, tell me more

ok these are the answers given dry, cut, sand 3%, moisture 14% and starch 67-69%

Good questions and I will check and revert. Yes it is for export.

A Chinese friend is wanting to purchase Cassava at market price up to 10 tons per month.

Any interested sellers please pm me for details
