Sorry, misread the message PM me please.

Not my first extension so no home visit.

The queue number was to give an idea of how packed it was at that time of the morning. We were taken to another area room with probably 50 seats that was also packed to standing room only. This was where all the agent work is being done. No queue number. Hope this helps.

Passport in hand with date to go to the Airport immigration for the final extension stamp in Sept. Waited about 10min for agent to show and 15min to see immigration officer. Worth the price given the agent came to my house to get materials and such.

Just a heads up. Today, Tues, Cenfest Immigration packed at 10:30am. No where to sit anywhere an queue number at 140. This used to be the empty place to get things done nor requiring retirement or other non-O vista's. Actually here to get my next non-O extension through an agent who I guess are able to get things done here normal people can't.

Some support for ya: https://golf.com/lifestyle/celebrities/how-why-president-trump-cheats-golf-playing-tiger-woods/ People would play him just to see how he would cheat that time so they could tell the story.

Unfortunately, the lines to anyone was about 25 people deep with every seat anywhere near the office taken up with people waiting so no real opportunity to ask anyone anything. Maybe your agent knows someone there. I'm actually looking to use an agent for the 1st time given the crowd I saw there and the one I saw at the airport facility Thurs when I was looking to pop in and get forms and ask if anything had changed but then just turned around, walked out.

OK, Place was packed, natural for the day after a 3 day weekend. No extensions for retirement or via thai marriage or any non-o visa. Most I think were there to extend tourist visas. Have a pic of other services.

I may have to mosey over there and see as I may have to head out that way anyway. Will report back what I find. Sure would be nicer than the airport location zoo.

Hmm, when did Cenfest start doing visa extensions based on marriage? Last I knew, it had to be done at the Airport location, that was a year ago. About to put together my extension for this year.

Hi All, Looking for Thai language class recommendations. While I can hear some Thai, I would still be a beginner. Have several searches on AN but can't come up with anything in CM. I live out by Mae Chok Plaza btw. Thanks in advance!

No real need financially for her to work and it was more important for her to manage kids, maid, Thai stuff. She doesn't work, but does have a heck of a stimulating night job 😉

I wouldn't say that. However, there is the law and then there is natural development. Over time and cultures, sexuality has been all over the map. In current African tribes, humans as young as six are allowed to have sex and are instructed by adults how to both give and receive sexual pleasure without any emotional/societal hang ups. Some tribes, the prospective groom has to have sex with one of his brides aunts to make sure he is good enough in bed. If the aunt determines he is not very good, the wedding does not proceed. The Himba tribe often share their wives with a house guest. Even in the US, age of consent was at one time rather low by today's standards. Heck, in the California 70's, the girls in my junior high were the sexually aggressive ones, and it was way more than I show you mine and you show me yours. In 1880 in the United States, the ages of consent were set at 10 or 12 in most states, with the exception of Delaware where it was 7.

That's not the bear they should be looking for.

Which would throw Thailand right into China's lap.

I think I found exotic cuisine and exceptional fruit! Sorry, it was low hanging...

Also for the blood pressure regulation, blood pressure medications telmisartan (20 mg), amlodipine (2.5 mg) and chlorthalidone (12.5 mg). I get the lowest dosage of each which is 2x the above dosages and cut them in half.

Sorry for the delay, just arrived in the US for a family vacation. Apcalis and it's pretty cheap. I take 20mg and cut them into quarters.

Have been taking .5mg of the Thai Cialis for 4 years for BPH and the only side-effect is a noticeable (but not dramatic) uptick in Rosacea activity (known side affect), does help quite a bit. I am also taking what is now called the Triple Pill for low end high blood pressure but I buy the minimal doseage of the pills that make up the triple pill and cut them in half. Much cheaper at $0.45 USD per day. Dials me right in for BP a week after starting to take and keeps me there.

And there was a US Enrolled agent tax preparer in Chiang Mai for about 10 yrs around 2006 until 2016 when he passed away. Spoke with him several times including the possibility of purchasing his business and how it works. It was 51% owned by his Thai partner in the business and a there were a few other simplistic hoops to jump through but no problem really. Moved my family to Chiang Mai in 2016 and reached out to buy his business only to find he had unexpectedly passed away not 4 months earlier and his partner just closed the business and let his clients go. Too bad, would have given me something to do waiting for the kids to get out of their US curriculum school given US citizens abroad get an extra 2 months to file. Too lazy to start from scratch to build up a Thai side of my practice 😉

Ya, just looked over the high dividend paying stocks on the SET. A good chunk of those have a dividend yields lower than CD rates and are not growth stocks by the look of their stock prices over the last 12 months.

Please do not think that tax rate is the same as tax amount paid. His tax rate is lower but his tax amount paid is much higher due to his higher income. Amazing how the average man these days has no clue on even the most basic math concepts I learned in 3rd grade. I have been doing US income tax preparation as a business for the last 30 years after leaving a successful aerospace engineering position due to wanting more time to do other things. Time is the ultimate coinage.

Warren paid $24million in taxes between 2014 and 2018. A couple of the reasons his tax is so low is his wealth is in stock that does not pay dividends and has increased in value tremendously. He also is donating a good chunk of his wealth to charity each year which is a tax deduction on his US tax return. He has a lot of wealth but not that much income relative to his wealth. https://markets.businessinsider.com/news/stocks/warren-buffett-defends-propublica-tax-rate-berkshire-hathaway-stock-dvidends-2021-6-1030504042

Buffet complains his tax bracket is lower than his secretary. His actual tax paid is huge.

Wow, that's an awfully small house. Sure the sqft is correct? I have small 2bdrm 1.5 bath condo that's bigger than that.
