Earthquake Rocks Bangkok: Building Collapses with 40 people inside
Read, early on in BBC reports that this was going to be a government building that collapsed. Say no more, how many brown envelopes to avoid mandatory earthquake inspections?? Can only be government led by PM responsible for this collapse.

Driver License Scam!
Each time I saw subject adds on FB I reported as illegal. FB reply in each case was "after investigation the adverts do not contravine forum rules". FB should have sought legal advice. OR maybe someone should report to the overworked police? Chas

People’s Party sets sights on 'landslide victory' in next election
I assume the government and army are franticly digging the dirt as we speak. Chas

People’s Party sets sights on 'landslide victory' in next election
The inverted triangle motif is a sign of Consultative management/government. One that I have always believed in. With the single person on lowest point of triangle (the PM), only there to support the masses of Thai people above him. Turn the triangle, this would put the PM and his minions at the top. above the masses giving an Autocratic form of management. which Thailand has at present. Anyone having participated in Management courses and associated exercises knows that an Autocrat is bound to fail, look to all European and Asian usurpers in the last centaury, all had a warped sense of right and wrong, to the detriment of millions. as with this government. The autocratic PM should immediately take his place at the bottom of the triangle and start consulting with the Thai masses above him. This is the basis of any democratic state. Chas

CW 1yr Extension based on marriage - document copies also now wanted in B & W?
This morning downloaded and filled the new format TM 7 from Immigration area 1, Bangkok. This new format is filled in blue as standard, opening up the old argument as Blue or Black on TM7? Last year I changed all the text from blue to Black, It was accepted by Hua Hin Immigration as were all other document copies in color.(I now have copies of the new format this year in both colors) IMHO a copy of a document is not a true copy unless reproduced in its entirety in original format. After all you have to sign/initial every copy as a true copy. However, my Thai wife disagrees for instance she insists on black and white for copies of ID and only relevant page of blue book with her name on it for children school and college registration she still has to sign that it is a true copy. TIT. I intend to go to Hua Hin Immigration beginning of next month with intent to clarify a previous poster. " that witness does not have to attend, only house book and ID copy". Will report back with any info gleaned, hopefully this will not change before my appointment for extension on the 18th. Chas

Extension of stay for retirement monthly income method
I have my Uk pensions paid into HSBC UK, transferred to Bangkok Bank London and then onto BKB Hua Hin. sometimes this may show as interbranch transfer. Last year got 12 month statement and asked for a separate letter detailing monthly inputs. Also visited bank to update book on day of application. I also included 12 month of PDF from HSBC showing transfer to BKB London. Lots of paper but no problems at Prachaub Imm. The attached reference is an instruction to ALL immigration offices, this is pinned to this site also in Thai. Phetaburi Cha am office to note (I did not have to use at Hua Hin.)

Thai food’s bold blend of flavours: A culinary delight with a fatal bite
All to do with refrigeration. As kids we were taught "Never eat pork unless there is an R in the month " my younger days only saw a larder in the house. Having lived for many years in Saudi I understand why the Muslim clerics ban pork completely-just to save lives of the uneducated population. Chas

Buying motorbike for child
Confusion arises when you Ask DLT for motorcycle license. To obtain you must be 18 years. A 15 year old can only have a *RIDERS PERMIT * which allows him to ride up to 110cc. He will have to upgrade to motorcycle license at age 18. My 15 year old is going through this process. He tells me that much of theory can be done online. Chas

Last month in the Consular team
I understand that if they die in hospital, medical history is known, no autopsy required. I am British. However, my wife (Canadian) died September 2021 in bed at home. We were visited by first response RTP and later a fairly senior officer from Hua Hin Station. It was obvious from oxygen machine by bed what ailed my wife. Later at RTP station she asked for inclusion in report If we wanted autopsy or not. Anwer was no. Died Monday, cremated Friday. Chas
