why have Russia stopped flights to Thailand or have have they

Most of Russia aircraft are leased and must be returned of if they land abroad they can be repossessed. 
Shame they destroyed the Ukrainian Antonov last week, the largest aircraft in the world, they could have taken all the Russians back home in one go.

Russian here.

What Russian people should worry about is, and also ask themselves. Putin has more money than he could ever spend, absolute power and getting old. Perhaps he wants to go out with a bang, and it would be a very Big Bang. Also when you corner a rat it will attack you. This is going to go really bad in short order.

Two airlines from Russia have paused their services to other areas including Phuket

Most of the aircraft in Russia are leased. They also won’t be able to service the Aircraft or pay the leases. Airlines must return the planes to the leasing companies if they don’t then the planes will be repossessed when they land abroad.
kiss goodbye to Russia.

How is that going to work if credit cards don't work?

Airbnb will pay the money into the hosts bank account directly. How long the banks will survive is the unknown question. 

Thanks for the info. It seems to be BK only sevices. Has anyone in CM used it. I used to also use the webpage but last year it said report to immigration. The drive though 90 days is so easy but an app would also help.

but how about for a poor person with no money?  What justice will they get? 

If you get fined for no seatbelt and it’s 500 baht at the station plus loosing a days work or 300 which would the poor person want. Think yourself lucky you have an option other than not breaking the law.

we had to re- sign them at the bottom of their stamp.

Marriage visa has always been more difficult that retirement visa which is a one stop service where as marriage must be proven. The resigning is a new thing as we used to just sign the bottom of the copy but there is a boxed stamp that the signature must be within to show that you actually signed it in the presents of the officer. The proof of income or pension is normal as you would do with the retirement extension, letter from bank etc.

I changed my residence within a same province.  I went to a immigration office of this province for TM28 application.   An officer told me to pay money with no receipt, I think you can guess what type of money..... 

I refused to pay and the officer returned application without finishing my TM28 process. lol

Is there any other solutions to finish TM28? 

 

 Be polite and request to see the inspector on duty and ask how she/he can help explain how to do it or you can put it in writing that you wish to register a change of address but have been unable to do so, and address it to the Superintendent of that office. You can find the name on the organization chart usually hanging on the wall. 
all that said it’s the landlord or the owner of the property that must report your address.

My standard response to this nonsense is, let's work on the taking of bribes before we try to tackle traffic violations.

If I screwup and get stopped for no seatbelt I would rather apologize and pay 300 baht there and then rather than have my licence taken, spend the next day at a police station to get the licence back and pay a 500 baht fine. We are lucky that we have a choice when we do wrong. Imagine the cost in fines, points and insurance back home.

Just had a clever scam c

I have had a scam email from Thai Post that I needed to pay duty before I could have a parcel delivered. The link was to a credit card payment option.  Someone knew I had a package coming from the UK and the email address from the scammer wasn’t Thai post. I didn’t pay and the item arrived okay.

mental health evaluation of the suspect is underway.

I can well believe that at the time that his mental health and stress levels were threw the roof. 4 am with loud music blaring for hours on end, it’s easy to completely loose control. Just because they were drunk Brits doesn’t make it special. Question is did he contact the police and if he did did they respond?

music might not have been that loud since who in their right minds wants to shout above music to be heard for several hours

Thais do it all the time. Bigger the speakers the better boomboom  boom boom. Can seriously drive you crazy

He said that the issue is due to Switzerland, and other countries, not yet allowing quarantine free entry for people who have been vaccinated with Sinovac or Sinopharm. 

Maybe, perhaps, it’s not good. 
The Swiss should let him come then he might be refused entry back to Thailand. 555

I need to renew my passport and want to do it online but need an IDPC passport photograph. Where in Chiang Mai can I get one?

thanks

The fact that this is in the statement means something along these lines is likely to happen. 
If it is, then nobody will be aloud to question it.
