I will start to take these guys seriously when they come out and say that do to the severe water shortage songkran is cancelled.

So I assume the people that defended the minimum pay being risen to 300 baht a day causing the cost of living to rise will have no problems with this. Keep putting the minimum wage up and the prices will keep increasing.

The taxi's are incredibly cheap as it is. Costs 10 times more in Australia.

For the record, Western countries sold themselves out to China long ago.

Must be a storm in the forecast.

It's a wonderful site if you're looking to have sex for money. I've picked up 8 hot little things in the past two weeks.

I send this message:

Would you be interested in having sex for money?

Surprised at how easy it is when you offer 2000 for the night.

Edit: just picked up another so make that 9.

You sound like you have just found the cure for cancer or split the atom.

Offering hos money and they flock to you? Who'da thunk it?

Better than having a wife to spend it all or even worse, take it all.

Hi Rayk,

We are in Bali for two months. Previously got a SETV in Kuala Lumpur for our first visit to Koh Samui last November. It was very straightforward for us but we didn't want to spend 3-4 days in KL again before travelling back to KS, although we did love it.

As we are in Bali we thought we would try and get them here. Time will tell if we are succesful

To be safe ensure you have those inside leg measurements for your whole family. Good luck, I'm sure it will all work out. Keep us posted and thanks for the update.

It's been known for awhile now about their asinine requirements. May i ask why you chose Bali versus a more tourist friendly consulate such as Vientiane, Laos?

Wow...

I'm not sure how I feel about this agreement.

1. Fact 1: A man works 30 years. Pays his taxes. Moves his money from the US to Thailand to avoid having to pay double tax. Example. His income tax from his salary is taxed. What little money he saves each month grows. Now the U.S. wants to tax his savings????

This is double taxation. His savings should not be taxed.

2. Now Thailand signs this agreement..Mainly to sacrifice all the small fish expats. Those who are happy. With their wife and children. Who is most likily collecting Social Security. So as to increase U.S. imports of pineapple juice.

3. If I was ultra rich, Thailand isn't the place to deposit ill gain money.

The U.S. is after the low middle class..Those escaping the U.S. corruption machine that is designed to tax the dead.....

What do we do now?

Sorry fella, I sympathize but tax law is tax law. You can bleat, moan, shout, scream and do whatever you want but it's there, it isn't going away. So if you have been avoiding the taxation system then the net is closing in I'm afraid. It's the same for everyone, so you can't really claim it's not fair, right?

Show me where it says personal income tax is a law.

"I am don't like both Americans and teachers"

-shocking based on your excellent grammar.

This coming from a guy with Charlie Sheen as his avatar.

Gimme a break guys. One of the first things I learned when I came to Thailand right after looking for an adam's apple on a girl was that in order to rise up the ranks in the farce you had to pay.

maybe upskirters should wear police uniforms so that they get a much lesser fine and no charge, worked for the one doing it to a school girl or are adults considered more sacred than school girls here.

Not just any ol adult, Hi-so's are considered more sacred than school girls.

Why bother, they all wear shorts under their skirts anyway.

There is no written law that states that Americans have to pay personal income tax. There are former IRS officials that have went on record stating they themselves could not find any written law and even the former head of the IRS dodged the question and simply stated that Americans understand it was their duty to pay personal income tax. There is a difference between a persons duty and a country's law.

People think that their taxes go to pay for schools, false, paid for with property taxes. People think their income taxes pay for roads, false, paid for by the fuel tax. And the list goes on and on and on. The personal income tax is the biggest scam of all time.

Here is a list of taxes Americans pay.

#1 Air Transportation Taxes (just look at how much you were charged the last time you flew)

#2 Biodiesel Fuel Taxes

I guess they need to pay for the wars somehow.

it is what it is.

I find it useful, you may not.

Please do explain its usefulness. Does it make you breakfast in the morning?

How about bringing you your slippers?

Does it do you taxes?

Maybe it cuddles you when you're sad.

Or is it that you can watch your friends post ridiculous photos of their food or even worse themselves.

Yes, very useful.

Open your eyes mon ami....

Few weeks back I was thinking about a friend I had half a century back....Looked on FB for his name...Nothing. Searched FB surnames for anyone in the area he may still be....Found a lady in that area with the same name.

Sent a message...."Is this guy your family".....She replied..."Yes it is my dad"..

Wow.....Her dad, my old friend, he does not have an iPhone or PC, so she went to his house and showed him my stuff on her iPhone.....It was my chum, we now talk when she visits.........Brilliant.....

I could do the exact same thing utilizing about a million other sites on the internet in about the same amount of time.

And these are the kind of people the government is wishing to get into bed with.

How can a Chinese tourist get a drivers license in Thailand and someone from the west can't?

Over 1.4 million traffic tickets were issued last year, yet 19.5 million weren't due to bribes to the ones asking for prison terms.

And after more than 2 years of Junta rule there still is no returning happiness to the people but on the contrary.

Wow, I'm a billionaire and didn't even know it.

Well, I just need to get out by 8th, get back in, and get my Ed visa because living here I want to learn the language.

But, can you be more specific what that means "record of entries" and what that count does for border runs, visas, etc?

See, I am 45 and on a pension. Too young for retirement visa. Too sick to always go to school. I am in a mucky area of visa regulations just trying to get my next 5 years so I can then get a retirement visa.

What if I go to USA and get a new passport, a multi-entry visa from Thai consolate, and come back? Am I then essentially a new person in the Thai immigration computers?

They combine you old and new passport history that is in their data base. It is all entries, departures and etc.

Getting a new passport in the states would make no difference.

Getting a multiple entry tourist visa would be a good idea though.

Would he qualify for a METV from the US even though he is not employed?

And does he have the funds in a US bank to meet that requirement?

Just asking.

That is completely wrong, you cannot get an extension twice on a tourist visa as is the part stating that on a visa exempt entry Americans get 30 days by air and 15 days by land. Americans get 30 days whether by air or land.

The American embassy should know better and be ashamed by posting false information to its own citizens

If you're American I highly recommend you contact them in regards to their error.

If she wants protection boys she will ask for it.

What a lame reason.

Question i have is if you don't have a business or Thai wife and have been using ED and tourist visas, I can only assume you have been supporting yourself for the past 3+ years by working in Thailand illegally.

Maybe he's got a large amount of spare cash sitting in his bank account. Not everyone is a pennyless deadbeat you know.

If he had a large amount of spare cash sitting in his bank account as you say he would be using the Elite visa and saving himself all the hassles of border runs and trips to immigration. So i doubt very much that is the case.

What is your problem? Are you jealous of others lifestyle? I have been here a few years not working (and on an ED Visa before marriage) without working. Maybe some of us just have more money than you (or are better at managing it). I would never in a million years spend $15,000 of my money on a scam as crazy as an "Elite Visa". I would rather go to immigration every week then surrenduring that amount of cash for such nonsense!

Did i say I have a problem? Did i state that I am jealous of his lifestyle? Am I not entitled to my opinion? It appears you are and whether you like it or not, so am I.

Rayk, do you plan stopping your off topic garbage at some point? How OP supports himself is none of your business, you are rude to felloe TV user, and you keep spamming off topic. How you get away with over several posts is a mystery to me.

I have made 4 posts, 2 of which have everything to do with the topic considering the Thai Embassy in Cambodia is pretty much questioning the authenticity of this gentleman being a tourist.

And the other two posts were in response to statements directed at me by other members which I firmly believe I have every right to respond.

If anyone is off topic it's you as your post has nothing to do with the said topic.

Did you not see in one of my posts where I state I don't care how he makes his living in Thailand.

Look up the definition of spamming before you accuse me of doing so.

Cheers
