MD Chula pharmacy has Circadin. I saw the person ahead of me getting two boxes of it yesterday when I was picking up my medication. They seem to be able to able to get nearly any medication that other pharmacies “mai mee / mai dai”.

go read the FACEBOOK group that people are getting DTV's for - Botany courses, "Nature courses". It is only a matter of time that they crackdown on this visa. As you can see it is all "anonymous poster XXX" over there, as they know it is only a matter of time that they have their balls in a sling. https://www.facebook.com/groups/1828879247635023/ Feel free to do what you want, your choices don't affect me.

So does that mean that they won't be checking at the border in the future? How many times have you been asked to show 20,000 baht to an immigration officer upon entry? It is the law, but they don't ask everyone. What makes you think that they won't start pulling people aside to ensure they still meet the criteria to hold the DTV? Not sure how long you have been here, but things change daily, and pretty much every immigration division makes up their own rules. Here is what is required to extend in country, so one should probably have all of these things available upon entry in case they are asked.

Very interesting arrest record he has back in the USA. Publicly available information.

They pull you aside, to an office or a desk. They don't make others behind you wait. This is a visa agent who has spoken about the DTV. I have queued it up to the time where he discusses DTV and immigration.

They have to call ahead to their handlers and give all of your information so that they guarantee you are going to get back in. In case you didn’t know, they have to grease some palms. Take the chance and fly out yourself. But you are going to encounter the exact same thing with immigration returning to the country as you did at Jomtien immigration. They want to know that you still meet all of the requirements as when you applied. The agency is going to know that if they take you, you WILL be coming back with them. Hence the extra cost. If 2000 baht more than the others pay that are in the van will break you, then maybe you will have to cut out your entertainment costs for a month and use the agent that assures your return. This visa was issued by the MFA when you were outside of the country. Every extension is now with RTP immigration, and as you have found out, they are two different agencies with different interpretation on how they will process the extension.

Gotta love this sign that was built out and around the power pole on the sidewalk. Highly doubt anything will be done about it.

Did you use an agent to get the DTV in the first instance?

The banks are only opening accounts for those on a one year stay. DTV is six months per entry and doesn’t qualify.

Transfer them all to 10 Downing. Let Keir share his home with them.

What would you like to discuss about Thailand and driving under the influence of alcohol or drugs. As I mentioned I was designated as an expert in Drug Impaired Driving and was an evidentiary breath testing technician. Feel free to see what a DRE is by searching “Drug Recognition Expert” on Wikipedia and here is the training material that has to be learned to become one https://www.nhtsa.gov/document/drug-recognition-expert-course-participant-manual-0 The information is available for the public to read, and the scientific validation of the methodology to determine impairment caused by specific categories of drugs.

I have had arch supports made by impression (stepping in to foam and then insoles made from the impression) which have not helped. The only ones that did help was when I went to a podiatrist and he “casted” my feet with wet plaster and inserts were made for my shoes then. There is an American trained podiatrist here. https://www.theptarin.com/en/our-services/medical-sevices/foot-clinic-and-wound-care

You are correct. The roadside device is a “screening device” and then they are presented in front of the evidentiary breath testing instrument often called a “breathalyzer” that was invented by Dr Borkenstein in the 1950’s. The evidentiary instruments now are computerized and are pretty much fool proof.

I was answering the quoted text and correcting it. It is clear you can’t understand normal thinking.

No. It was not my decision. It was the decision of the crown prosecutor that decided if an accused would be charged and prosecuted. I simply provided the evidence. It got much better when the province brought in administrative driving suspensions (not a criminal charge) where I could revoke a persons drivers licence at the roadside after providing two samples of breath into two devices of the same kind (for independent verification that both devices have the same reading). We were able to remove drivers from the road for 90 days immediately along with impounding their car for 30 days. That brought a substantial drop in people who would take the chance of drinking and driving. Furthermore, having seen too many drunk drivers (or distracted drivers) cause collisions that caused death or serious bodily harm, I didn’t tolerate “anything a little over the limit”.
