So glad to hear, kudos, hate it when people panic and go straight into "kill it mode" even for such things as spiders. Personally I'm a "if not doing any harm or has potential to harm" then leave the critters to do their thing. If they can do harm then help them on their way.

Pretty cool having all that nature passing through, even the cobras.

Figured that from previous posts but was hoping you where going to reply "It appears p414 isn't too happy about it" 555

How does the neighbour feel about it? ????

If you think that's bad look into the Black Pill!

30+ at the moment, not counting Taiwan as the third reading of the bill only passed on 13 January so not implemented as yet as far as I'm aware.

Indeed, which is a far cry from "use your bank in your home country". I had already posted the going rate for an agent to open an account.

Because people are trying to open a Thai account to deposit money for retirement extensions - saying people should use their "home country" bank isn't exactly helpful is it.

Agree, although I have to admit I had second thoughts once when 10 to 15 minutes after quenching my thirst with icy cold beautiful clear fast flowing water we found the water had been filtered though the guts of a dead deer straddling the stream further up the mountain 555

Almost, depends on your visa, e.g. if only tourist visa you get another 2 year as I understand it.

Current cost is around 3500 Bht.

So predicting the future is another of his talents is it? The 2% pledge was was 2% by 2024. The garbage spouted by Trump was basically debunked years ago, why bring it up again? https://www.npr.org/2018/07/11/628137185/fact-check-trumps-claims-on-nato-spending

Yes I've read that blog before and it doesn't cover the details nor does it report accurately, the deportation is the most infamous case I referenced. There was obviously more to the story - the BiB extortion attempt was for 40K, she refused to pay, off to the police station, was bailed for 100K, her court case was set for a month later after her scheduled flight home (can't remember if that meant she was on overstay or not on completion of the court case), she went to court and was fined 827 Baht - not 40K that reading the blog would lead you to believe. According to her after the court case she thought she was being taken to get her passport back but she was actually taken to Bangkok IDC where she was locked up for a few days before getting a flight out. She also claimed her bail money wasn't returned. The 30K fine for the the Dutchman in Pattaya they mention wasn't a fine it was pure extortion by the BiB, it never went to court. Vapers with any common sense should know all about this and be prepared to bargain down. As I posted on another thread at the start of the Charlene story almost a week ago: Hence my comment you replied to, cases of farang actually reaching court are as rare as hens teeth so I don't know where the figure of 30K was pulled from - officially it's supposed to be 4 tines the value of the vape. The French woman is the only one I know of and as stated, the actual fine was only 827 Baht. But the inconvenience, the added cost of lawyers and the possible ramifications does not leave taking it to court as a preferred option IMO.

I guess not 5555 But being a glass half full type of guy I'm still waiting for a knock on the door from a solicitor informing me my long lost uncle third removed has left me a small tropical island in his will ????

How cute, you didn't disappoint with your predictable pathetic reply.

So you don't have an answer, thought that would be the case.

Get a Thai to call and make a booking (or for walk in bookings) and it may well be cheaper than if you called to make a booking.

Why should she?

I only know because at the time of the changes there was some hope of rescinding the dumb vaping laws 555

Not seeing a connection - a person grieving the death of a loved one v a person killing a loved one.

I believe he's Thai and operates within the Thai system.

What does it say on the label and packaging? If you see something along the lines of "100% protection against UVA and UVB rays", or "UV 400" then you are good. If not mentioned on the label, or you don't have the label/packaging then likely not to be very good. Technically, if you take them to an optometrist they can do a quick check and tell you but up to you if worth the bother finding an optometrist that will do it for you. If sure they are genuine Polaroid they will be 100% protection against UVA and UVB.

Wouldn't it be a better idea to check his bank records?
