As bad as some of the Fox shows a few years ago were when I had Fox on True, I don't think they lost anything. I've not watched a Netflix 'original' show, yet, and seriously doubt I'll do so in future. But who cares what a 66 year old expat watches anyway. ????????????????

Many world over are aware of drones having camera systems onboard and in Thailand at least, it could get you in hot water especially if it is not registered as such before hand.

If I were you, I'd be inclined to check with relevant authorities before hand and forget chat forums.

Wise advice.

Never miss an chance  to attempt to belittle Thai people. In a forum where you feel safe that a Thai wouldn't likely have an opportunity to respond.

Khun Suradit69, don't be too hard on Smith.  I'm pretty sure I know him and he is not a Thai basher (at all, normally). It may be his wife and family that uses the book-bank term. Who knows, just don't get too upset about such a trivial comment.

AAArdvark: It doesn't happen to me too much anymore, but there was a time when, if I didn't update my book at least once every month they bank would only print a summary of my transactions for the period in which I had not updated. As above, I had to go to the bank and ask for a print of each transaction. PITA, but it made a lot of sense. I didn't have to get a new bank book every 6 months that way.

Cheers to both of you!!

They are also at Phu Nam Ron.

It's a pity that Honda has not brought the Pilot to Thailand. It would be a big hit.

Back on Topic. Buy a Toyota for resell value, but maybe JoeW and Tagaa have more insight. (Also, my wife doesn't like buying what everybody else is driving ????)

Hardest thing I had to used to were the motor bikes swarming around on either side of the car. I only drive on my 90 day border bounce. It takes some extra care. I think when riding a  bike a person has better spacial awareness that will not be there when you drive a car. So my advice, be especially aware of the left side of the car, especially when making a left turn or changing lanes.

Be careful! Have a safe trip!! Good luck.

U.S. House of Representatives Judiciary Committee on Tuesday invited President Donald Trump to its first impeachment hearing

????????????????????????????????????

I am not surprised. I've been in Pathum Thani since 2005 and no visit is ever the same. Because of that, I've never tried to get a marriage extension. I've always gotten a Non O ME from a neighboring country and traveled as necessary at least every 90 days, which was easy when I was working. Now, it's a day trip to Phu nam ron. I enjoy the freedom, the drive (I rent a car) and scenery.

I really appreciate your report. I was going to ask for a 30 extension for my last border bounce, but think I'll just make the trip to Laos instead.

Cheers, James

And now I know why the tourist are always trying to stiff the Thai merchants. ????

I hope James eventually paid up.

I am very sad for the people who own and run the restaurant to have received this note. I'm even sadder for the person who wrote it. That person is stuck in a world where their eyes will always be hooded and that is truly sad.

Good thing, though, is I know where to stop for food next time I'm in Lubbock. ???? (If that ever happens again).

Up north in Uttaradit we have beautiful blue cloudless skies and cool only 27c and a forecast top of 33c .

Yes, the North has completely different weather patterns.

It's scary how much he looks like me (when I used to drink alcohol)????????????????.  At least I never exposed myself.

You can't be serious. I'll take George Reeves or Dean Cain any day over Christopher.

Same way that we were told that he "allegedly' killed himself.  A more reasonable, sound interpretation of the autopsy.

Jeffrey Epstein did not kill himself.

Trust them. They've lived here all their life. They know what they are doing.

He warned however if the government does not survive the censure debate the country will suffer.????️‍♀️

The country has suffered since he and his thugs took over the country with guns.

The country was in a gridlock and Yingluck's cronies were robbing the rice buying scheme. I rather like the no blocked intersections, the protesters whistling at each other and at times shooting the others. No black shirts now.

Dude's got to eat and it was so easy... ????

Loi Krathong is a festival celebrated annually throughout Thailand The name could be translated as “to float a basket”, and comes from the tradition of making krathong or buoyant, decorated baskets, which are then floated on a river. Loi Krathong takes place on the evening of the full moon of the 12th month in the traditional Thai lunar calendar so the exact date of the festival changes every year.

Tim, "to float a basket"? I suggest you do a little more research on the symbolism behind the floating of the baskets and report that with your flippant coverage of a "Thai festival". Your editors should be ashamed for letting you get by with so little.

If you do have the 400k. Update the book, make a copy. Bring the book. Can't hurt.

If you are referring to the bank book. I believe nearly every other embassy, consulate requires. So why not?

You don't need financial support.  (Take it if you're insecure about not having it, but do NOT give it unless asked. You might give them ideas. As if the need them. ????) BTW, HCMC does not require financial info either, but they do request a letter from the wife.

Just ran across this eulogy.
