Read the first page, then just skipped to the last page. Can only just begin to imagine the utter mince that was spouted in between.
I hope you are not being disparaging about mince. Please remember that mince is a staple of the Scottish diet along with "Neaps n Tatties" and is what helps us Scots to remain so placid, good natured and humorous!

are you sure it's everybody else that needs to lighten up ?
oh, of course you are and I am sure you will have another 2 page answer to let me know why
No. Just a single line. "No further comment."

(quote problem-sorry I can't do it properly)
"Zooheeckock" said in post 64
"The answer to that question is a massive 200-odd words back from the sentence you quoted. Clearly, reading that much text is an absolutely insurmountable hurdle."
Only problem being that of the 10 or so posts made in this topic by you, you have not posted 200 words in any of those posts, massive or otherwise!
In fact the total number of words, before my quote, is less than 120 and your total post amounts to less than 150 words. (before pedants get on board-no I did not sit there and count the words, my computer does it for me!)
(BTW what is so impressive about a 200 word post to make it "massive".
I suggest it is a massive over statement on your part.

Where have you typed "its name out in full"? Maybe I have missed something or are you referring to a comment, written in Thai, in post 52 about entrances?
(Thai of course being against the forum rules in this section of the Site! - Playing acting MOD again, which as I have stated, I know I am not!)
On 02/02/2018 at 4:59 PM, Zooheekock said:You're right. I should put my efforts into making petty, irritating, nit-picking posts which criticize others but offer exactly nothing of substance or value
For once I massively agree with you!
You appear to be doing such a massively good job with your posts in this forum that I am sure you can hold a mutual appreciation society meeting with the OP in your local branch of COSTA/Starbucks et al.
On 02/02/2018 at 4:59 PM, Zooheekock said:The internship looks like it's a howling success so next time an opening arises, your CV is sure to be top of the pile.
Thanks for that massive endorsement!
Do I have your permission to quote this on my next (never) job application?
PS; The OP, "Zooheeckock" and others are serving a massive public service by giving me, and a few of the rest of us, this little topic to have some fun with and poke even more fun at those, who I believe deserve it, because of their asinine comments and posturing on this site.
Isn't that what TV is meant to be about?
Lighten up everybody please!

An artist has all his work in a gallery.
He goes back a week later to check on how things are going and notices all his paintings are gone.
The proprietor tells him that they were all sold to one person.
"A man came in just yesterday late morning. I have seen him before, he was with you last week for the opening and was asking questions about you ability, artistic quality etc; and he wanted to know if the value of paintings always go up after the artist's death.
I told him they did and he bought them all immediately.
No more questions or negotiation he just got all his credit cards out and bought the lot for the listed prices. I think you will be really pleased"
"That's great news! Who was this guy, there were quite a few of my friends at the opening?" asked the artist.
"Oh didn't he tell you. It was your doctor, he said he did your annual check up yesterday morning. I thought he might have mentioned it to you. In fact I thought that was why you came in was to close the exhibition down since you knew all about it!"

Man goes to a brothel.
The Madam is out of women but, since the guy is Polish she thinks she can get away with a blow up doll and he will never know the difference.
Being a bit nervous because she has never tried this one before, The Madam waits outside the door.
The Polack comes out in five minutes.
"How was it?", says the Madam.
"I don't know," says the customer,
"I bit her on the t*t and she f*rted and flew out the window!"

Jeff’s blind date with Suzanne was bad from the start—in short, they loathed each other.
Fortunately, Jeff had asked his friend to call him so he’d have an excuse to leave if the date wasn’t going well.
When his friend called, Jeff pretended to be in shock. "I have to leave," Jeff said to Suzanne. "My aunt just died."
"Thank God," Suzanne replied.
"If yours hadn’t, mine would’ve had to in 30 minutes after I had gone to the restroom."

I suggest you just ignore the "Agency" bashers.
For totally irrational supposed "reasons" they have some bee in their bonnet about those of us who love the simplicity, peace of mind, reliability, time saving, etc of the "Agency" method.
Personally I just use the one nearest to where I am staying at the time and have been using Agencies and their predecessors since pre 2000. At the moment I use OS Visa, the same one as recommenced by "masuk" and find them to be A1. (I have never actually heard/seen any bad reports by Agency users of any of the agencies around town)
A quick google search should do the trick if the OS Visa location is not suitable.

CM is a great place to get your COOKIES
I agree but according to Mr Microsoft to get the best out of your "Cookies" you must do the following;
For "Cookies" settings just make sure that your "Privacy Settings", under "Tools", allow "Cookies", either with or without prompts - 3rd parties are of course an option only you and your partner(s) can decide!
You could of course opt for "In Private Browsing" or "Open Cookies" without prompting.
By the way, I do hope you have Ginger hair otherwise your "in private browsing", displaying ginger nuts, could cause some adverse comments and be blocked by the recipient if her "bit blocker/defender" is not open to receive the wrong colour coding downloads!
(The above comments apply to IE; for the computer comments only!

Which forums are better?
I thought this was about the TV Forum.
There is little point in making vague un-attributable references to sites you cannot mention on THIS forum and then try and compare them/whatever.
I know I am not a MOD but by any chance can we get back on subject as we know we cannot talk/discuss about other sites (quite rightly). Lets stick to the point(s) please!

As for Thaivisa, it's always been somewhere to steer clear of
So why are you reading and posting on this forum/site/topic?
The above is just typical of the many pointless comments and posts which drive people away from what should be informative and positive forums/sites.

Title speaks for itself really
Does it?
This Post would be helped if you had posted what it was/does and what it costs to buy and use in CM! My crystal ball is broken and before you say "Use Google"! Not my job.
Please elucidate.

You are right about the 2 statements are much the same. So what?
So what was the point of making a pointless statement!
Why make it in the first place unless it was to prove the OP's point, which you seem to have excelled at.
33 minutes ago, lovelomsak said:.In my post I was referring to past posters not myself
Which bit of your post was referring to past posters if not yourself.
33 minutes ago, lovelomsak said:you get confused easy huh
I Think you are the one who is confused!
PS; What does "huh" have to do with this?
According to the OED it can mean all of the following;
"huh
exclamation used to express scorn or surprise, or in questions to invite agreement."
Which is it, scorn or agreement? I don't want you to get too confused.
PPS; The OP now has the reaction I think he wanted, well done!

I still pick up the occasional piece of useful information here, so its purpose is still valid for me.
You are also one of the first to respond with a positive response to posts no matter how obscure. Please keep it up.

Thai Visa in my eyes is no longer a forum it is a mutual admiration society. It is dominated by people of the same mind only complimenting each other. There is no real forum. If the chosen few disagree with some poster that poster is attacked till the poster leaves.
What is the difference between "a mutual admiration society" and "people of the same mind only complimenting each other"?
Don't those two statements mean the same thing?
Since I now appear to disagree with your post does that mean you will leave if a few more people make adverse comments.
I believe you need a certain amount of "thick skin" to get involved in any public forum.

The key words would be LIVING THERE.
You missed out "at the time of this application/declaration I am making now"
IMM want proof of where you are at the time of your application/declaration!
Subtle differences between an old TM30 (yesterday?) normal residence(when /where) and where are you registered as staying at on this application today.
Why do people not just stay within the law. Get a rent agreement and a TM30 etc.
It is so easy (my way!).

What do you mean I will pay a 1600 baht fine - for what?
1600Baht is the standard fine levied by CM IMM for failure to report a change of temporary address(TM30). (that also includes your first 10yr stay as all your stays, no matter how long are "temporary"!)
Quote from the law (see my post 65 above)
the “master, the owner or the possessor of the residence, or the hotel manager where the alien, receiving permission to stay temporary in the Kingdom has stayed, must notify the competent official of the Immigration Office located in the same area with that hours, dwelling place or hotel, within 24 hours from the time of arrival of the alien concerned.
In your case the person responsible for the fine should be your Landlord but from your previous statements it is unlikely that he will cough up.
PS; Have you contacted "ubonjoe" yet?

Besides the TM30 form, what else does he need to supply, copy of his national ID, house book, etc? And what's the process of getting the TM 30 once I go to immigration? Is this going to be another 2 plus hour wait in line ordeal I have to go through before the bigger ordeal of actually doing my extension?
Yes I believe you need to sort out the TM30 before anything else.
Yes I think you will be spending some time at Prom. Enjoy Nancy's films. I hope they have different films on successive days, you may need to watch them. (Don't forget your donations to Dukes)
Of course you could always take the easier, and most accurate and up to date option and pop down to your local CM Visa Agent and get them to advise you if you have NOT PM'd "ubonjoe", as already advised, for semi professional advice as opposed to the so called "advice" from amateurs like myself and NancyL.
If you go it yourself I believe the following may help. If he does not want to get directly involved, or is out of country, he has to sign the POA form and sign copies of his Blue book for the property and a copy of his ID card. Must be signed in Blue Ink. And of course a signed copy of the long term rental agreement.
You will then pay the 1600Baht fine (even though it is actually his fine not yours!).
where have all the smart, nice members gone ?

Oh yes it will!
