This is encouraging news. Given past performance, these might start showing up ~ 22 July. -
US Announces Tariffs for Thai Imports
bamnutsak replied to Equatorial's topic in US & Canada Topics and Events
Hard to figure out how anyone still believes this. -
Always interesting that those who fervently believe in the "Epstein List" rarely mention "victims" - girls and young women abused by Epstein, and their suffering. Instead, they traffic in lies and conspiracies to advance their political agenda.

FBU event at BKK Embassy Jul 24 2025
bamnutsak replied to sqwakvfr's topic in US & Canada Topics and Events
Hopefully someone will ask and get an answer re: the status of the 2025 7162 firm. I wouldn't want to take up a slot for those who have more pressing requirements (enrolling, sorting out a stoppage of benefit payment, etc.) -
If you are staying in a hotel, while on holiday, they may file a TM30 for you, and now your TM30 and TM47 will be "out of sync". So your TM47 (online) may be rejected, as it does not match your holiday TM30. And you may want to file a new TM30 when you return to your 'main' domicile. The 90-day clock turns off when you depart Thailand, and restarts at day 1 when you reenter.

Report Thailand Launches Nationwide Drug Crackdown
bamnutsak replied to webfact's topic in Thailand News
Both Srettha and Paetongtarn announced drug crackdowns. Srettha also staged a brief crackdown on "influential people" and predatory moneylenders. I think there is a PM playbook with a checklist. -
I think I remember seeing a note in one of the new version release notes - these pop-up when logging in - where the search/retrieve/download (PDF) period was extended from seven days to fifteen days. (Could have been a senior moment). The website still says Important Note: -Data are shown within only 7 days of Check-in Date But I think the video says "sip ha wan". (00:50) and the sample search is 8 or 9 days back. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=BN_oU1OsOaY&t=3s&ab_channel=IMM-SD-Live Agree that outside whatever window it is best to just file a new record.

Report Thai-US Tariff Deal Hits Snag as Vietnam Charges Forward in Talks
bamnutsak replied to webfact's topic in Thailand News
Thailand will be lucky to get the same terms as Vietnam, sans the Starlink approval. 20% export (to the U.S.), 0% import (from the U.S.) Plus the 40% trans-shipment levy (20% + 20%) Probably have to give the first casino/entertainment complex to Eric Trump -
This might be a good question for your "Doctor" or your "Pharmacist"? AFAIK, smoking cannabis anywhere where it might be considered an annoyance remains illegal. Definitely illegal in/near schools, temples. Individual establishments and buildings may have their own "rules", such as condos, hotels, restaurants, clubs, etc. I have not seen any statement from the RTP re: cannabis patients' rights.

2025 SSA Form 7162 - "Hello, are you dead yet?" forms.
bamnutsak replied to connda's topic in US & Canada Topics and Events

2025 SSA Form 7162 - "Hello, are you dead yet?" forms.

In 2022 first arrived July 8. But yes, normally mid-June-ish. I didn't look at posts for previous years. -
US Passport Renewal Update Information
bamnutsak replied to tkramer's topic in US & Canada Topics and Events
Thanks. Yeah, that AI description is much more detailed than the ThaiPost Mart description, where EMS service is not mentioned. Curious to hear from others if this yellow envelope is always used if there is an EMS sticker if the tracking number from the ThaiPostMart (my purchases) matches what was on the envelope delivered if anyone was able to successfully track the delivery Ideally, the embassy could include the EMS tracking number when/if they send the notification email - " that we've sent your new passport today". -
US Passport Renewal Update Information
bamnutsak replied to tkramer's topic in US & Canada Topics and Events
Is the ThaiPost Mart Courier Pass Back envelope delivered, from the Embassy to your home, via EMS? Or regular surface mail? For 100 baht, it seems like it should be via EMS? And if it is via EMS, IME, I have to sign a handheld terminal upon receipt. And I can track the delivery. Once it is scanned into the system by ThaiPost upon receipt (at the Embassy), or other entities IME. Who files the police report if the passport (new and old) never gets delivered? The EMS driver? -
BREAKING NEWS US Senate Republicans pass Trump's 'big, beautiful' bill
bamnutsak replied to Social Media's topic in World News
Murkowski folded for a few small add-ons for Alaska. (Two-year exemption on new food stamp requirements.) Not a Profile in Courage. Federal minimum tip wage is $2.13 per hour. Taxable social security is reduced by ~ 75% currently using the worksheet. These two aren't even big enough to qualify as breadcrumbs. -
2025 SSA Form 7162 - "Hello, are you dead yet?" forms.
bamnutsak replied to connda's topic in US & Canada Topics and Events
Just my opinion... This SSA policy "Allowing Signature Attestation on SSA-7161 and SSA-7162 for 2024 – One Time Instruction" is for those few folks who may not have received the 7162 owing to local postal difficulties. I'm still holding out hope that most of us will receive the 7162. The fact that no one has received it yet tells me it's not a Thai Post local delivery issue. -
US Passport Renewal Update Information
bamnutsak replied to tkramer's topic in US & Canada Topics and Events
Did your wife have submit her "old/current" passport card when applying for a renewal of both passport and passport card? Is one Thai Post mailer acceptable for passport and passport card renewals? Is the Thai Post EMS "return remailer" tracking code available from the ThaiPost Mart transaction/receipt? -

"Travel"? Is departing Immigration checking for these Tax Certificates? (Most of us the automated lanes departing.) <Yes, I know these were required sometime last century.> Do you have to have filed a return in order to apply for a Tax Certificate? Or can you "apply" for a Tax Certificate without having filed a return? Do you file for a Tax Certificate at the same RD office where you filed your return? Has anyone here had to apply for a Tax Certificate in order to renew their extension?

But those using the Money in the Bank method are certainly remitting funds, for living expenses, which would call for a tax return to be filed? Not sure it makes sense that they are excluded? Changing the requirements for visa extensions so significantly would require a lot of advanced notice given the thousands of people affected. Have these "Tax Certificates" been issued to date, to those who have filed returns?

What Movies or TV shows are you watching (2025)
bamnutsak replied to Rimmer's topic in Entertainment
They also did "Smiley's People", back in the day (1982). Too bad they never did "The Honourable Schoolboy" - supposedly written at the Mandarin Oriental in Bangkok - to round out the Karla Trilogy". Too many locations I'd imagine, including Thailand. I liked the shows but the 2011 film was superlative. I've rewatched that ~ 2times. The cast is simply amazing.
