The haul, intended for distribution in local communities, was intercepted at 1pm yesterday, February 8, at the headquarters of the Metropolitan Police Bureau Division 6.

According to that, the drug smuggler was caught at the police station? Deserves to get caught, lol.

(Poor reporting more likely)

Stealing from supermarkets has become an international plague and not only in Thailand, in Australia for instance

customers angry at the cost of living with the big supermarkets and retailers that $9 billion were stolen last year,

so we can say that Thailand is still far, far behind...

Actually "Did you know that retail crime, such as shoplifting, robbery and vandalism, costs Australian businesses up to $9 billion each year?", so not just stealing/shoplifting.

I have seen posts indicating that an immigration office granted the extension on the basis of the birth certificate combined with the personal confirmation of the child, who accompanied the father, that the latter was indeed the father and that they lived together. As I remember it, the child had to at least seven years old for this purpose. This procedure may vary from one immigration office to another.

 

@Udonthai

1. How old is your child?

2. Is your child in fact living with you on a continuous basis?

Very true, the child can attest at the local government office that he is the father, when they reach an age of responsibility, which generally (as you said) is about the age of 7

For your first 90 day report you need to do in person or via mail

There are reports of some people having done their first report online, (presumably different offices have different rules).

"

90 day report on line. Might be of interest to others, and for what its worth, Cheers.

Did my first 90 day report online yesterday using the TM47 website. Established my account with same day confirmation. Submitted 90 day report and received online approval (with printable receipt) within an hour.

This was my first ever 90 day report - i.e. I've not previously reported in person at Immigration (which seems to have been the requirement for initial report in the past?)"

The owner of the property cannot sell the property

They can if the holder of the usurfuct agrees

As for transferring, I read the section you quoted and that seems to suggest you can, but other pages state you can't and yet others state you can with the owners permission.

Very confusing

Now my visa is dependent visa I got in Vientiane, not for retirement. 

 

If I go to the Udon Thani immigration office, could I possibly extend my one-year stay?
 

No, because for immigration purposes the child is not legally yours, (name on the birth certificate means nothing)

  When getting the stamp in pp is it also logged into your  computer record. I somehow had a reentry permit stamp added to my pp when I did my last 90 day report. Never noticed at the time? 

Did you also not notice paying them for the re-entry permit ?

A decade of teaching at a university would lead me to stick with the fact that qualifications are not checked by OHEC.

That stamp was 2 hours.

I think it was written as 24 hours, but google translate could not see it properly, (as it is a stamp and not a hand written time).

Fairly sure I read that the Thai social medical covers this (still trying to find where I saw it)

Where can you get SSO without the pink ID? 

At the SSO office, you don't need a pink card to start SS nor to continue after finishing work (at my local one)

I'm not so sure on this one.

I vaguely recall years ago...I renewed my passport.

Subsequently attended bank to get some green.

No good. The bank insisted they update their records (passport details. Guess pp # was main one) 

Then did the transition.

 

OP, don't think you will have any issue but suggest talk with bank directly 

Totally different, so irrelevant

Also, in the many years you have been on this page, have you EVER or EVER seen anyone being given the advice of advising their bank as to a change in visa/extension status?

Well, I needed a Pink ID for SSO, for which I needed a Yellow Tabien Ban from the Amphoe, which needed an original birth certificate, legalized and translated and the translation legalized, from the city hall in my home country, then Ministry of Justice, then Royal Thai Embassy, the whole lot couriered to me in Bangkok. That's what I needed an attorney to do for me. From there, I had the whole lot (and a legalised and translated copy of my passport from my embassy) legalised at MOFA. With that, the Amphoe issued a YTB and a Pink ID, and I went to SSO with the Pink ID to elect to move from Section 33 to 39. Worked like a charm eventually, but it took months.

Then you have the country's worst Amphur, I just needed my passport and bank account details

The schools that I worked in, it was only the male teachers who had this duty.

I did the exact same thing. Upon leaving employment in Thailand, I elected to stay under the Thai SSO, which is a simple thing to do ... if one has a Pink ID. Like many others, I had previously considered getting one, but the requirements for a Yellow Tabien Ban looked very onerous. 

In the end, I did it though, which had me appoint an attorney in my country of origin to perform the legwork, and then myself going to MFA etc. Good thing there was a 6-months window, because I made it with less than 2 weeks to spare.

What on earth? "attorney in my country of origin", "going to MFA", none of those has anything to do with remaining in the social security scheme.

Really?

When I got a tourist visa at the Thai embassy in Phnom Penh I had to show a flight out of Thailand. Otherwise I wouldn't have gotten that tourist visa.

For a Non-B visa that was not necessary.

That happened in middle of 2023. 

You had to show the embassy, not the airline
