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”.

In the case that unearned or passive income is lower than USD 80,000 but not lower than USD 40000, the applicant is required to make additional investments of USD 250,000 combined in Thai government bonds OR direct investment in companies registered in Thailand OR Thai property Put it into bonds, when the time comes that you find a property you like, cash the bonds out and put it into the property.

First off 27 mg of alcohol in 100 ml of blood, also written as 27 mg% is hardly “inebriated”. I have arrested drivers at 380 mg% who were chronic drunks and they could walk and talk like someone at 50 mg%. They could drive worth a damn though. BAC Effects Experienced .02-.04% Lightheaded – Relaxation, sensation of warmth, “high,” minor impairment in judgment .05-.07% Buzzed – Relaxation, euphoria, lower inhibitions, minor impairment of reasoning and memory, exaggerated emotions (positive and negative) .08-.10% Legally impaired – Euphoria, fatigue, impairment in balance, speech, vision (particularly peripheral), reaction time, and hearing, judgment and self-control impaired .11-.15% Drunk – “High” is reduced, depressive effects (anxiety, depression, unease) more pronounced, gross motor impairment, judgment and perception severely impaired .16-.19% Very drunk – Strong state of depression, nausea, disorientation, dizziness, increased motor impairment, blurred vision, judgment further impaired .20-.24% Dazed and confused – Gross disorientation to time and place, increased nausea and vomiting, may need assistance to stand or walk, impervious to pain, blackout likely .25-.30% Stupor – All mental, physical, and sensory functions are severely impaired, accidents very likely, little comprehension, may pass out suddenly .31% and up Coma – Level of surgical amnesia, onset of coma, possibility of acute alcohol poisoning, death due to respiratory arrest likely in 50% of drinkers (Source https://www.utoledo.edu/studentaffairs/counseling/selfhelp/substanceuse/bac.html) Second, Canada does not have “felonies”. There are summary conviction offences, and indictable offences. 99.9% of impaired driving / driving with more than 80 mg% are prosecuted as summary conviction offences. (Source Canada offences https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Criminal_law_of_Canada) Third, you would NOT be held in jail for 24 hours let alone 72 hours, barring extenuating circumstances like being a flight risk, have warrants, have other outstanding charges that you have been released on an undertaking or recognizance to a judge which does not allow for a police officer to issue a Promise to Appear, or Appearance Notice after processing the offender. The onus of proof to hold someone in custody is on the prosecution (police) and not for the accused to prove why they should not be held in the first instance. How do I know this, I was a Canadian police officer for 18 years, trained as a designated operator of an approved instrument for conducting evidentiary breath testing or an approved instrument (listed here - https://lois.justice.gc.ca/eng/regulations/SI-85-201/section-2-20190128.html#wb-cont), trained as an operator of roadside screening devices, an instructor in Standardized Field Sobriety Testing, and a designated officer under the Criminal Code of Canada to conduct evaluations on drug impaired drivers - otherwise known as a DRE or Drug Recognition Expert. I have conducted in excess of 6000 roadside tests with the same device the RTP use at the roadside, and I was also a calibrator of these devices. They are the Alco-Sensor IV roadside screening device. They can be extremely unreliable if they are not maintained properly, which requires calibration with a standardized gas every 14 days, or 50 breath tests, as it is a fuel cell sensor, and does not have an alcohol wet bath that is a known concentration at a set temperature that is connected to a desktop evidentiary breath testing device. These devices are set up in police stations, or mobile vans where the tests are conducted. So, there are people who come on here, and talk like they are “experts” in something, and cite things that do not exist - such as “felonies” in Canada. It is commonly referred to as “talking out of your rectal orifice”. Examples of devices that are listed in Thailand as potentially used for breath testing of ethanol presence. https://admin.cstp.or.th/upload/user_document/6b806c808ca89c01500b33354604c505.pdf

Nothing wrong with pork

Yes.

I guess you must be an expert in turds in you know that she is a “perfect” one.

“Reduces significantly the possibility of getting the disease” - I think your word “significantly” should be changed to minuscule. How many billions jabbed and how many didn’t get infected. Provide that statistic with your comment and then let’s see if it is “significant”

hope in one hand, and piss in the other. See if you have a handful of hope, or a handful of piss. Who would have thought “hey, I’m going to turn my phone off because I’m two weeks they will find me here so I will reboot my phone and they will see flashing light”. The light is going to be a reflection of the light from the end of their scope seeing a phone. They are just giving false hope to families.

You are correct. 389 to Jomtien by food mart The 48 is from North Pattaya bus station to Bangkok
