Yes. They, the embassy, send your new and old passports to you from Bangkok to your Thai address. That's why you buy the Thai Post EMS service for 100 baht.

I did not know this. Can you share the details on this in-flight uniform change (twice)? What do the "practical" outfits look like? Most incidents occur on take-off or landing, so being in the meet n greet attire still presents safety challenges. I guess we'll see this come January when these will be in use. THAI Unveils New Cabin Crew Uniform, a Combination of Thai Identity and Sustainability The Thai Ruean Ton, Thai national dress globally recognized for its grace for over six decades as worn by THAI flight attendants, is now weaved with synthetic thread made of recycled materials and Thai silk. The new uniform offers both aesthetic and utility purposes as it is easier for looking after and flexier in wearing and has passed the safety standards. The Thai Ruean Ton uniform with this new material will be worn by female flight attendants and to be witnessed onboard and elsewhere from 1 January 2024. https://www.thaiairways.com/sites/en/news/news_announcement/news_detail/from_purple_to_purpose.page Synthetic thread made with recycled materials. Hopefully, the flammability test results were acceptable.

Agreed. Seems odd for the Deputy PM/Minister of the Interior to delegate the strong-arming of families to Provincial authorities (Influential people)? I think the government is going to have to incentivize people to return. Debt (on money borrowed to facilitate transport and kick-backs) forgiveness. Lump sum payment. Offer of a job/training.

Rumor is that a full pardon will be granted on Father's Day, 5 December.

The second paragraph of the article So how could she become PM without the support of the Senate now? (Assumes Srettha resigns, not likely unless someone puts a gun to his head.)

https://www.facebook.com/happyCandyAfterdark/ Doesn't seem very active? I think you'll have to do your own research. Visit some of the larger shops, if you can. Start searching on FB and LINE. Eventually, the algorithm will feed you good options. There are fake gummies, import gummies, and locally produced gummies. Do you have a price-point or budget? Any idea on your dosage? I follow quite a few outlets (~ 45 ish) on LINE, maybe five or so carry gummies. They are all imported, and not cheap. Example 1,000 mg per box, 10 pieces per box, 2,200 baht per box.Wide choice of six+ in each Indica, Hybrid and Sativa. If there were some silver bullet someone would have shared it here by now.

https://travel.state.gov/content/travel/en/passports/how-apply/processing-times.html I simply offered my guess on interpreting the status message you obtained when checking within the U.S. site. I think (again my conjecture) that passport renewals submitted by Embassies get put into the "expedited" category. I could be wrong, I often am. I have not renewed my passport recently, but I will be doing so soon. Hence I follow this subject quite closely here and on FB. Most recent first-hand reports are in the five to six-week range, door-to-door.

Wow! Srettha is already being considered for being thrown under the bus. It's only been two months, but he clearly is in way over his head, and as is evident by Anutin's subtle jibe, Sethha has little/no power. Just another few weeks for this bird to brown, then he's cooked.

I think that service estimate is for renewals made within the U.S. with no expediting. Seen quotes of that being up to 13 weeks now. USEMBBKK says: You can prepare your passport application package at any time and the process may take up to six to eight weeks from the date we receive your application to when you receive your new passport book by mail. https://th.usembassy.gov/u-s-citizen-services/passports/adult-passport-renew/ Lots of experiences shared here, recent reports are in the five to six week range. In the many great threads on this topic here, unfortunately scattered across many sub-forums so a search is useful, most seem to get through the mail-in process without any challenging "loops". Start here: https://th.usembassy.gov/u-s-citizen-services/passports/instructions-for-ds-82-processing-by-mail-and-online-fee-payment-for-u-s-citizens-residing-in-thailand/ The photo requirements are clearly stated. The biggest challenges for folks here seem to be payment for the passport and payment for the return EMS. So do a bit of research on those challenges, specifically get registered with pay.gov (can be done via id.me optionally) and the EMS site (although you can buy the EMS "package" at a post office) as some have reported. https://www.pay.gov/public/form/start/790155895 https://www.thailandpostmart.com/product/1013460000929/

Stockfish. A staple of West African cuisine. Usually comes from Norway. I assume this gang was buying dried fish with drug money and then exporting it to Nigeria.

As long as it (TM47) matches the TM30 Address of Record you should be OK. Mine doesn't. TM30 Address of Record is in Thai, I use English on the new site/TM47 paper form.

I think your conjecture is off the mark. They used to ask for all that information with the "old"/"previous" TM30 system. Type of Visa Expire Date of Stay Point of Entry TM 6 No Relation

This is also a concern with SQ. Was an issue in the SQ 006 crash. Maybe they tear away?

OK. Get a screen grab NOW. In six days you won't be able to view/find the record.

When did you file? Within the last seven days? Where is this magnifying glass?

So there wouldn't be any similar drought with the Kra Isthmus Canal? It's called Dry Season for a reason. And "normal" (pre-drought) wait times at the Panama Canal already exceed any benefits vs. Straits of Malacca. Canal: Never Land Bridge: see above

Problem resolved Main screen My Debit & ATM Cards Press on Debit & ATM Cards You should see a representation of your ATM/Debit cards Press "Services" See Block Online Payment section block/unblock domestic online payment block/unblock international online payment For some reason, both of these were set to Block. I un-Blocked domestic online payments. All is good. It's weird because the app updated Sep 18, but I paid an online bill on 20 Oct. So it wasn't some new version default setting. And I didn't change this setting myself; I didn't even know there was a menu tree buried there.

For sixty-five of those years (1951-2016) submarines were not allowed. Submariners fomented the Mahattan Rebellion. So no subs were allowed during the reign of Rama 9. https://www.khaosodenglish.com/news/2018/06/29/battlefield-bangkok-the-time-the-navy-defied-the-army-and-lost/

Thanks for this detailed, albeit third-hand (agent-friend-you-us) account of EK's aggressive enforcement of the proof of onward travel requirement. That EK requires that the onward travel must be from the same airport as arrival, and must be within the validity of the visa or TVE. Of course, the OP is flying DL, maybe KE, and has a valid visa. But I do question the accuracy, veracity, and logic of your interpretations of EK's policies. For example, EK could not sell an open-jaw ticket USA-BKK/HKT-USA, as the onward ticket departs HKT when arriving at BKK. I can guarantee EK would not deny boarding outbound. And, assuming your return ticket was within 30 days, let's say, then that return ticket is not valid if you are denied entry at BKK unless you wait in Detention for 29 days. So what? EK denies boarding? Of course not. In every account of denied entry (at BKK) here and on FB (first-hand) the individual is responsible for purchasing their own ticket. No airline is forced to transport someone without the issuance of a ticket. Do airlines pay some sort of fine? Maybe. Could be urban myth? Lastly, buy an Onward Ticket ex-BKK.

I think most of Chada's family (father, son) have been murdered in gun battles. https://thailand.postsen.com/live-style/160969/Turn-over-the-history-of-‘Chada-Thaiseth’-the-godfather-of-the-Sakae-Krang-River-Basin.html

And any savings in shipping time would be erased by wait times to traverse the canal. Vessel wait times at Panama Canal increased more than 40% in August The limitations have led to bottlenecks at both ends of the canal, pushed up freight tariffs and forced some vessels to divert to avoid delivery delays, especially those that do not have priority to pass. Waiting time averaged 8.85 days for southbound transit and 9.44 days for northbound passage in August, from 5.56 days and 6.55 days, respectively, in July, according to data from the Panama Canal Authority. https://www.reuters.com/world/americas/vessel-wait-times-panama-canal-increased-more-than-40-august-2023-09-02/

A canal will NEVER happen. It's been floated forever (like late 1600's), always shot down for national security issues. And how would a canal be less "congested" than the "geopolitically sensitive Strait of Malacca"?

Clarence Thomas loan for luxury RV was forgiven, Senate Democrats say Washington — Most of a $267,000 loan that Supreme Court Justice Clarence Thomas received from a wealthy friend to buy a luxury RV may have been forgiven, according to Senate Democrats. In 2008, nine years after Thomas' friend Anthony Welters lent him money to purchase a motorhome, the health care executive forgave the balance of the loan, according to a report from Democrats on the Senate Finance Committee. https://www.cbsnews.com/news/clarence-thomas-rv-loan-forgiven-anthony-welters-senate-finance-committee/ https://www.finance.senate.gov/imo/media/doc/senate_finance_committee_welters_thomas_memo_102523.pdf I'm sure there's a good explanation. Nice to have a Sugar-Daddy I guess.

We're talking about being denied BOARDING at your first point of departure. So the ticket is only used to satisfy the airline's check-in staff and their requirement for proof of onward travel. No clue why your fictional person was denied entry at SBIA/BKK?
