Can I do my 90-day report at Chamchuri?
bamnutsak replied to Cutty Shark's topic in Thai Visas, Residency, and Work Permits
What day did you return? How were you informed? Verbally? Or were you given a "Receipt of Notification" with a "Next Report Date" of Dec. 28, 2024? -
Thai Senate Approves Landmark Change to Child Discipline Law
bamnutsak replied to snoop1130's topic in Thailand News
Old habits die hard, and the fact that there is now a "law" in a country where "laws" are selectively and randomly "enforced" means little to those being "disciplined". File this one with the "law passed to eliminate seasonal burning". "Have you stopped beating your children?" -
Thai Pig Farms Face Crisis Amid Oversupply; Call for Balance Grows
bamnutsak replied to snoop1130's topic in Thailand News
AFAIK pork is part of the basket of 51 items that are "price controlled by the government", as they have been for a few years, via the Price of Goods and Services Act of 1999 and managed by the Central Committee on the Price of Goods and Services. This was extended through to June 2025, as of June of this year. -
Can I do my 90-day report at Chamchuri?
bamnutsak replied to Cutty Shark's topic in Thai Visas, Residency, and Work Permits
I think Chamchuri Square Imm only does 90-day reports for BOI people/companies. You'll have to go to Chaengwatthana. Consider making an appointment; there are some slots available on January 2 & 3 - you can file up to 7 days "late" (in person). -
TM 30, or not TM 30, that is the question.
bamnutsak replied to indieke's topic in Thai Visas, Residency, and Work Permits
CW. Understood. I think most agree this change, the online reporting window reduced to 7 days, was made recently. No issues if you think otherwise. -

Thai PM Urged to Attend Senate Meetings or Face Potential Censure
bamnutsak replied to webfact's topic in Thailand News
Failing to attend meetings where she might be challenged only makes her look weaker. Nepotism isn't a good look. -
"To start..." Ah, yes, it's always easy to start, but how do you finish. I remember the "big, beautiful wall" that Trump was going to build, and have Mexico pay for it. That was a bit of a farce. Again, the devil is in the details. Can you define "criminal aliens"? Are you of the belief that ALL undocumented persons are "criminal" because you feel that their method of entering the country was "criminal"? Do "criminals" have to be convicted of a crime? Or just suspected of having committed one? Where will you send these criminals? How will you transport them? By plane? Where do they get the aircraft? Who flies it? A "plan" usually involves more than one sentence.

AFAIK the NCAA has rules governing transgender athletes. I guess, for those who feel strongly, you can petition the NCAA to change their rules to be more in line with your beliefs. https://www.smith.edu/admission/studygroup/docs/NCAA-Policy-on-Transgender-Student.pdf https://www.ncaa.org/sports/2022/1/27/transgender-participation-policy.aspx

Was Ex police officer Derek Chauvin wrongly convicted !
bamnutsak replied to riclag's topic in Political Soapbox
Detailed in the OP's link... Following his murder conviction, Chauvin later pleaded guilty to criminal charges for depriving George Floyd and a then-14-year-old boy of their civil rights on separate occasions. He was sentenced to serve 252 months in prison in the federal case. -
PM Vows No Intervention in Thai Military Amidst Reform Proposal
bamnutsak replied to webfact's topic in Thailand News
I think every coup, at least the last twenty or so, has been Royally endorsed. So there's that. 2014 Coup... Army chief Prayuth Chan-ocha was royally endorsed as the leader of the country, although His Majesty the King, who is 86 and unwell, did not attend the ceremony in person. An official royal gazette was released confirming Gen. Prayuth's endorsement after a ceremony this morning at the Army Club in Bangkok's Theves district. Reporters were not allowed to view the ceremony.... https://www.khaosodenglish.com/politics/2014/05/26/1401087010/ -
Transferring Banking Apps to new phone (2024)
bamnutsak replied to phetphet's topic in Mobile Devices and Apps
I was able to transfer SCBEasy to a new phone on my own, instantaneously. With BBL I had to visit my branch for a photo for their facial recognition system. -
Any recent changes to the TM30 document?
bamnutsak replied to Fiskebolle's topic in Thai Visas, Residency, and Work Permits
Is there a date in the "Inform Date" field? Can you describe these changes, or post a redacted copy? -
New Dirty Trick by bank ATMs
bamnutsak replied to jaywalker2's topic in Jobs, Economy, Banking, Business, Investments
You're using a foreign/non-Thai ATM debit card? I used my foreign (U.S.) ATM debit card this week at Bangkok Bank ATM in Central Chitlom (lower floor in the connector to Central Embassy) to withdraw 20,000 THB. I was not presented with any DCC option. I always use a BBL ATM for this type of transaction. 20,220 THB at the daily Visa rate cost me $590.19 (4 Dec). I already had the 220 baht fee rebated at $6.42. So my net cost was $583.77. I use my U.S. credit card (Chase Saphire Preferred) extensively here, mostly via Google Wallet 'Tap-to-Pay'. Always charged in THB, but if I use the physical card I always stipulate that I'll be paying in THB. -
Seen/purchased (PG) this week in Tops Food Hall, Central Citlom, a separate section for "Foreign Tea". Not cheap though.

Fishing for freedom: Thai crew released from Myanmar custody

This doesn't bode well for the Land Bridge, not that it will ever be built, as the border runs right down the middle of the Kraburi. -
Foreign Pilot Approval Raises Concerns for Thai Aviation
bamnutsak replied to webfact's topic in Thailand News
https://www.bangkokair.com/press-release/view/bangkok-airways-leases-aircraft-to-meet-increased-demand A319 and A320. International routes (LPQ, PNH, SAI). I think Amelia - a weird name for an airline given Earhart got famously lost - is a subsidiary of Air France. A friend flew BKK-LPQ-BKK; PG 941/942 this week, she mentioned the flight deck and cabin staff were French, although I think PG is supposed to have one or two staff on board. While Amelia will provide pilots and cabin crew, Bangkok Airways flight attendants will also be on board to ensure a seamless passenger experience. Passengers can expect the same high-quality in-flight service, including food, beverages, and baggage allowances, that they've come to know from Bangkok Airways. -
Thailand Eyes Direct Flights from US Amid Growing Tourist Demand
bamnutsak replied to snoop1130's topic in Thailand News
Not sure if TAT officials are talking about TG, or one-stop, or non-stop direct flights. If it's non-stop direct and TG, it would be LAX, if it is United, then SFO. There is a shortage of supply (aircraft and pilots) between North America and Asia, which leads to higher prices and less award inventory. For now, this seems like TAT-talk. -
Warning issued on eve of White Lotus series in Thailand - video
bamnutsak replied to snoop1130's topic in Thailand News
I've got to believe that there will be one or two cultural faux-pas represented that will set off some of the more jingoistic defenders of national morality. But if Hangover 2 passed with little kerfuffle - save the death of a stuntman - then the outrage may be offset by the positive representation of Thailand's natural beauty and charm. I watched the first season; it was OK. Like Succession, which most friends and acquaintances also loved, WL didn't inspire me to watch S02.
