  1. What advice has your lawyer given you regarding this?
  2. No. Non immigrant visa does not require return/onward flight. Neither by airlines nor Thai immigration.
  3. Good news for us from the UK. King Charles III on our coins. The real issue is; how, if possible, will the new monarch's head be added to the upcoming Central Bank Digital Currency (CBDC) to be issued by the Bank of England? It IS coming... Will he be seen smiling on apps and websites or tokens or what? Or will it be Lord Kwasi and Lady Liz? Who do we trust?
  4. Unlikely. So long as your withdrawn crypto/money is now moved somewhere safe beyond their reach then what are they going to do? Extradite you to the USA?
  5. Enjoy overpaying at Phuket. The same fare in Bangkok would likely run 350 Baht.
  6. Do you trust the Thai nominees who own 51% of your assets?
  7. Any, half decent, IT mall should have Mono Laser printers. I bought mine in Pantip Plaza, Bangkok a few years ago. Althought there's few shops still open there, there is a printer shop on the one of the upper floors. I use Brother lasers in Thailand and the UK and they have never failed me.
  8. Can't see the dealership allowing a valuable new vehicle to be driven away unless all the finance was in order.
  9. I'll be going to see this, assuming it actually goes ahead. It would be great to see Banksy do some works related to Thailand ????
  10. Both my mother (84) and uncle (78) have just had their 5th covid-19 shots. They are happy about it. I have had 3 shots and just invited for 4th shot (no thanks). Both of them on Moderna 5th shots were flu like (I had Moderna as 3rd shot no issues). They never suffered before. How many here would take 3rd, 4th or 5th covid vaccinations?
  11. Only if it's a multi entry visa and you re-enter before the expiry of the visa.
  12. Still craving attention me thinks. <deleted> OP @bob smithat least wait until 5pm to enjoy the sunset with your driink. That's what I normally "try" to do.
  13. RIP the Thai guy likely just going about his business trying to scrape a living. In my experience these motorcycle sidecars (salengs?) are a total menace on the roads. They are usually driven by the less well off as a means of utility transport for their business and family. The contraptions are often in poor condition, not safe and rarely, if ever, have rear lights. They will often make turns without indication let alone looking out for other traffic. Road safety skills are typically non-existent with these riders. It could be the case that the truck driver was speeding or not driving to the conditions. The truck driver's race is immaterial and who knows how many similar tragedies involving only Thais (or people from neighbouring countries) take place that never get reported in the press.
  14. Good news at last. In recent times, the Emergency Decree has not been about Covid-19 as many here know. Whilst most of the rest of the world has gotten on with life, Thailand has dragged it's heels in the supposed name of Covid. What will happen if there are protests and demonstrations? Will the Emergency Decree be resumed? Or is Prawit made of sterner stuff than Prayut?
  15. The ONLY 2 reasons to replace front forks on a motorcycyle are: 1) Forks are bent 2) Forks are pitted/corroded Seals and oil are easily replaced. Head race bearings are not a reason to replace forks and new taper bearings are a perfect upgrade at low cost. When replacing fork seals be sure to fill with new oil at same volumn but viscosity can be thicker therefore giving more stability.
  16. So all these mortorcyclists are wheelchair users?
  17. Forget the exchange rate. I've got a bit more than $50,000 and would just love it to last me for 10 years in Thailand. Trouble is, with my lifestyle, I'd be lucky to last a single year. What's your secret for it lasting 10 years? Please share...
  18. I drink this mosquito repellent from 7/11 and it never fails...
  19. How would the Police Officer know you had a new passport? Did he really ask to see your new passport and compare it to Driving Licence?
  20. That is part of an agreement that benefits Thailand much more than Russia. There are few tropical beach destinations that Russians can visit visa free. How many Thais really want to go to Russia?
  21. Just heard on the news in the UK that all flights OUT of Moscow are now fully booked.
  22. Better still show her parts of Brixton, Peckham, Camberwell, Tottenham, Leyton, Wood Green, Hackney and Mile End. That should put her off wanting to move to London. Real life not so glamourous after all.
  23. Desperate statements from TAT and Ministry of Tourism and Sports to save face. Visitor numbers will remain down due to high airfares and once in Thailand they will likely spend less. There will be the best high season since 2019 but nothing like it once was. Globally people are suffering from huge increases in the cost of living.
