The electric/telephone/cable infrastructure is indicative of how the country is run.

The way you do one thing is the way you do everything.

Our power goes out at least twice a week. Plus sometimes half the house has power and the other half doesn't. I will not touch the power in this house to fix. Let someone come and do it.

I live in a new, higher end condo in Chiang Mai and we lose power almost daily. Not for long, but it goes out. It's ridiculous.

Try the second hand place in Nong Hoi....not expensive there. After Holiday Inn and before the Mandihol Road overpass, on the left.

Any idea what time they close?

I see we have some sheeple here and some that understand the implications of this form. Everyone has done something wrong and all have something to fear whether one thinks so or not. Name-John Doe, Sgt, USMC 211....(yea I had a real serial #, not the later SS #). I picked up my extension of stay, multi-entry exit/entry permit at Udon immigration last week the 17th. Nothing about this. No, immigration does not have any of my petty little bank account details, and I never have the 10,000 USD that requires reporting to the states. In fact on paper I own nothing. I don't do social media and no way in hell I give any email info. Tor/VPN. The gov't will get what information it wants on this site, whenever they want it. In fact I wouldn't be the least bit surprised to find out the "Five Eyes" i.e Spies, monitor TV. I foresee a lot of N/A on that form if I ever HAVE to fill it out. Like America, Thailand wants to become a police/surveillance state, just not all that good at it, yet, unlike America.

How did you sign up to Thaivisa if you dont give out your email ?

If he uses TOR he probably also uses throw away emails for places like this. Very popular.

At least they didn't blame it on a ghost.

Moved to an inactive post?

Still better than sex tourists and pervs... ?

Not really.

Did my retirement extension today at Jomtien no form in sight, although I downloaded the form filled it in, lots of not applicable and had it ready but out of sight.

Lets see if if the form appears when I collect my passport tomorrow.

But upon getting the letter from the bank showing the 800,000 they now attach a separate form showing incoming & outgoing transactions, something new.

That's disturbing.

Eventually, you may be called to answer for any questionable transactions, such as why do you dine and support this or that business, as they are supporters of whatever party. Why are your cash withdrawals so large. What do you buy with your cash. Prove it.

These people are just loony enough to do something like that.

Pathetic people. They should be defrocked, canned and put in the same cages as the tigers. Where is article 44 when you need it.

Makes you wonder who all has been cashing in from all of this.

Don't say he is one of the dumbest people on earth. His brain just lacks the ability to function properly.

Fill that in and you not only risk identity theft and extortion, but now the Thais can find out who says what online and file charges against the lot of us for being critical of the government or whatever. No thanks.

In addition to that, your information is probably being sold. We all fit a demographic and that info is valuable.

Nope. I am holding on to what little privacy I have left.

They are going to get so much false data from people they are going to choke on it.

"Developers" can't wait to start slashing and burning their way up the mountain, and throwing up hillside condos. The thing going in behind 700 stadium is the opening wedge.

Are they starting to build up the mountain? Curious about the chanot on that.

By the way, some AA international flights have lay down first class seats.

Absolutely loathe Air Asia happy to celebrate someone taking their business elsewhere. It's the leg room - it's beyond cattle class and into battery chicken class.

I loath them too. However, you can always pay just a few hundred more baht for a "hot seat" with extra leg room or request an exit row when you check in, which costs money if you reserve online.

what terrible planning!

They do this on purpose.

Same happens near the mountain, you buy a condo with an amazing view and as soon as the building is sold out they break ground on a new building that will block your view.

Had he not had on the camo shirt, it wouldn't even be out of the norm.

Further more, since when does the military own camouflage? Many brands make attire in camo, I have a jacket that has nothing to do with any military, let alone the Thai military.

If memory serves, the French created camouflage.

Moral of the story... at least finish grade 9, kids.

Image that.

Not gonna to say what I want to say due to obvious reasons, but I'm sure most of you come to the same conclusion.

These people...

Jesus, make it stop. Please.

What if you're a rich hiso and you kill someone while vaping?

Good for this guy. Whatever it takes.

I send wires from Bangkok Bank with no problem.

Banking here is like immigration. Depends on who you're talking to and/or what location you're at.

Fly?
