  1. Relevant to the OP titled "How many border runs?". Similar to advice from many "Thai Embassies" worldwide as has been updated externally, which was in conjunction with the introduction of both DTV and LTR visas in 2024.
  2. Take it up and register your complaint with Thailand's "Ministry of Foreign Affairs". Needless to say, the writing is on the wall, with the introduction of the DTV and LTR visas.
  3. I have stated no such fact. Get a grip, and respond to the correct poster.
  4. Many other Visas types are available for long term stay, subject to meeting criteria. Royal Thai Embassy may issue the following types of visas: Destination Thailand Visa (DTV) For further information please visit https://thaievisa.go.th/visa/dtv-visa Open for applications on July 15, 2024. Period of stay:5 years with multiple entry, the processing fee $NZ2,000 per person. Long-Term Resident Visa (LTR Visa) Open for applications on September 1, 2022. Period of stay: 10 years with multiple entry, the processing fee $NZ6,000 per person.

  5. The below Extraction is from the "Thai Embassy Website" in Wellington in New Zealand. Bold font is as formatted on their website. Aliens who enter Thailand under the Tourist Visa Exemption scheme and would like to leave and re-enter the Kingdom will be able to stay for a cumulative duration not exceeding 90 days and the duration shall be within a 6 months from the date of first entry. Passports or travel documents must be valid for at least 6 months upon the date of first entry. Foreigners entering Thailand under the Tourist Visa Exemption scheme must provide proof of adequate finances for the duration of stay in Thailand at the port of entry (ie, traveller’s check or cash equivalent to 10,000 Baht per person and 20,000 Baht per family). Foreigners entering Thailand by any means under the Tourist Visa Exemption scheme are required at the port of entry to have proof of onward travel (confirmed air, train, bus or boat tickets) to leave Thailand within 60 days after the date of arrival, otherwise a tourist visa must be obtained before entering Thailand.
  6. Stick with Oprah 😇
  7. Legacy media would appear to need your support. CBS apparently would like to settle for their manipulation of the interview with Vice President Harris.
  8. Back to perhaps the only remaining legitimate source of real news. (I am inclined to shy away from the dis-reputed legacy media) https://www.foxnews.com/politics/mexico-agrees-deploy-10000-troops-us-border-exchange-tariff-pause https://www.foxnews.com/politics/trump-agrees-pause-tariffs-canada-exchange-more-border-enforcement Kudos to President Trump, outstanding achievements.
  9. Interesting reading regarding USA & Greenland https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Proposals_for_the_United_States_to_purchase_Greenland History, would show it not to be a momentary "lightbulb" thought for President Trump, but has been on the cards trough previous administrations since the 19th century. Maybe he can actually get the deal done.
  10. Sathon Canal near Central Bangrak / Saphan Taksin and the River.
  11. Agree with roo860, scalloped potatoes, are battered "sliced crosswise" potatoes covered in batter and deep fried. Still prevalent in New Zealand. Beef Tallow known as "Drippping" was always the preferred choice for the frying medium back in the day. Keeping this medium clean for multiple re-use was an exercise in itself and does come at a cost, most modern day chippies will use a "Vegetable Type oils, ie Canola etc..." and then discard within a week when the breakdown occurs through the continuous reheahting. I managed the very first "Fish and Chip" shop in Saudi Arabia back in the 1980's serving about 200+ portions per day. I was always at times, chief cook, waiter and bottle-washer when hat was required. Hat off and praise to the "Chippy at the Gate". Didn't see bags of scratchings for the poor or takeaway.
  12. Last breakfast offering in Chiang Mai. OMG 220 Baht Also dropped in at Sausage King and picked up some Cumberland sausages, a large Pork Pie and a couple of sausage rolls. Sausage King Sausages were on a par with UK if you you want to knock up your own breakfast. Pork pie and sausage rolls will be off to Bangkok with us for lunch tomorrow. They also have a Garden Restaurant - below the recommended menu
  13. New Years Eve, I had the Large Haddock & Chips (395 baht) at the Chippy at the Gate. (Also Atlantic Cod on the Menu) Skin is left on the fillet, hence you can tell you are getting the real McCoy. Fish portion was large as to be expected. Chips were cooked properly without greasy residue. Batter is a subjective topic and it was good, however, I would have preferred a slightly thinner coating with a little more crisp. A range of standard chip shop side-dishes are also available to enhance the meal. Highly recommended. The Chippy at The Gate
  14. Maybe his friend (presumably an eyewitness) will shed light on the incident Surely he would also need to be charged with reckless driving. Truth will out.
  15. Actually popped into Makro on Highway 108 this afternoon, lots of choices for a hearty Western Breakfast, however couldn't find their cooking facility, only the "staff" food truck in the carpark. Was looking forward to crumpets with a poached duck egg in each hole. 😂
