  1. Read the requirements - says to send via "Registered" mail 15 days prior to the due date. That way if the mail is slow, the immigration would still get it in the required time frame or if they didn't get it on time since you supposedly registered it 15 days prior to due date you would not have any problems. Eay enough to understand unless one is looking fofr some excuse to open a troll post here. IMHO anyway - I previously did the mail in 90 day reports for many years.
  2. I don't really care what nationality, this foreigner should have his visa revoked and fined or jailed, then deported IMHO!
  3. forms are online from immigration. Just google immigration forms and pick those you need and print them out.
  4. Having a daughter here, tried local schools for a couple of years and definitely not worth it IMHO. Then moved to international school of CM - very positive - some students go to the top US universities. My daughter had scholarships but opted to go to the top Thai University and this third year has been selected to attend a top Korean University for her third year. She graduated from CMIS speaking, reading, teaching in 4 different languages - Chinese, Korean, Thai and English. Also a computer whiz and CMIS taught her to WANT to learn all that she could as we never pressured her. Self schooling totally here in a foreign country would meant that these children might miss a lot of the social interactings which all the world learned about during the COVID pandemic when all were shuttered.
  5. One could say that about all the expats that leave their native countries for a different life. One should not lose citizenship but maybe some benefits such as health care which is shared by taxation of citizens. My opinion anyway as I came here to retire and live better than I could in the US - number one is here there is no cold weather/snow! and living here can be cheaper too depending on what lifestyle one has. IMHO.
  6. having sex with underage women is a crime in most places, some places the ages vary but it is still a crime if an adult has sex with a minor whether he pays for it or someone else pays that price but one still has the sex.,
  7. would not make any difference under the law for sex with a minor ! unless of course you are a politician or someone with even more power!
  8. just like the Jan 6 invasion of the capitol building never happened, just a peaceful, happy tour of loud people. Anyone who was alive that day and was watching "live" tv coverage could never accept the pardoning of that crowd. I understand why DJT did pardon them because after all he was the one who egged them on to actually invade the capitol! He too should have been locked away with them but then again his Supreme Court buddies have given him an open ended rule with no negative blowbacks. Scary to say the least for US citizens and probably the world too IMHO.
  9. would be telling the truth about all his lies and fraud of being the US president - shaming that office as well as the nation IMHO!
  10. since people continue to bring it up on the forum, the immigration folks obviously are enforcing whatever restrictions might be in the Thai laws. But with all the available visas and if necessary agents then I fail to understand why so many people do have problems.
  11. totally agree with these comments. O especially when president "enticed" kids to do whatever possible (take out big loans) to get that piece of paper when many of the kids did so with no real thought of what they might not be able to do with that piece of paper. Now they are hampered in living well trying to stay up with the loans. Then Biden and company decided that the government would forgive many of these people so what does that teach folks - don't be responsible is what it seems to me and trade schools would have been a much better choice for many. we always need plumbers, electricions, etc and computer gurus who can earn good wages. But yeah, if a family can afford any college for any degree without having to consider the future of their children that is their choice. I think most parents want only the best for their children and that is why they have them and care for them but seems society has a way of destroying the best efforts of parents today. A scary world awaits those college grads and the careers have been changing rapidly too and people must learn to adjust. Best of luck.
  12. Well, I worked as a civil servent for 35+ years, as a professional linguist and manager having numerous workers, some with several masters degrees and a lot with their PHD's and I without a college degree corrected their English translations, and know how to quantify the foreign language talents of many people. My daughter could run rings around many of those professionals plus she is also a computer whiz. Like I mentioned, we as parents never pushed her, she is self-driven and we couldn't be prouder of her thus we support her in whatever she really wants to do and we discuss different options as she still has several more years of schooling. As for me, my first family made many sacrifices while travelling around the world and living in foreign lands and this second family I am willing to sacrifice whatever is necessary to make my girls happy!
  13. well, if dJt followed his oath to the US Constitution then I couldn't argue with any comments about him as to me he is a traitor. I myself have taken that oath several times and I understand what it means. While he may be intelligent or not, he sure doesn't believe in following that oath IMHO.
  14. I have had two families during my years, as first wife passed away from breast cancer - we had a daughter together - she grew up going to international schools in several countries except for 6th grade in California and a part of a test her 6th grade class took the PSAT or SAT (I forget) and she scored higher than the national average for that year so the international schools did well with her. My second family, we also have a daughter...went to Thai schools for 5 years - waste of time both for her and us as we kept trying what was supposedly one of the top schools but we learned quickly that for her future we needed something else. We relocated to CM and she tested and joined the CM International school - greatest for sure! She graduated speaking, reading, writing, and understanding 4 different languages - Thai, English, Korean and Chinese. The Korean language was self taught as she was a fan of the K-POP and has passed to the highest level on the international korean proficiency test (level 6) and is entering her 3rd year at the top Thai university and has been selected to spend that 3rd year at a top Korean University as an exchange student. We have never pushed her at all, as CMIS teachers seem to make their students want to excel in learning and succeeded with her. She was accepted with scholarships to US colleges but for personal reasons opted to stay in Thailand. From what I have written you should be able to understand that if our daughter wanted to go to Harvard University and was accepted then we would totally support her in her wishes. She loves school and learning and also joins many school activities every year and has seemed to know what she wants to do upon finishing graduate school in a few more years and we will continue supporting her 100% so that she remains a HAPPY person. Sorry for this long-winded explanation of why we would support her going to Harvard.
  15. RimPing has a bakery, at which they make various sourdough breads as well as whole grain breads. Those that I have sampled to date are all great IMHO. Having grown up on the breads of the US, and having learned about the fake foods we have been experincing for years, I am pleasantly surprised to find these bakeries in Thailand both in Bangkok and Chiang Mai that actually are baking supposedly healthy breads of various types. I have been so surprised that I haven't even checked to see what I am paying for those breads. As a reminder, they will slice the loaves at whatever thickness you want, then if you are not going to eat the entire loaf in a short period of time, you can freezed sour dough bread which will retain all for 3 months as you continue to thaw slices that you plan to use that particular day. Best of luck to all. and Good health too.
