So, when you cut through the plethora of meaningless words what emerges is that the government is saving face but can not actually admit that the casino idea is defunct .The ministers are slithering away quietly.

Third world maintenance strikes again. It used to be helicopters that were dropping from the sky now things have moved on. Thank god the same mechanics do not service the national airline

Thank you to those who offered advice. I shall wait until after the weekend and try again

Sorry, this is and old and tired topic. I have read the instructions about the steps to be followed before filling in the 90 day form. They are quite clear. When attempting to access the 90 day form website via the promised link .There is no link. There are instructions how to fill in the soon to come online arrival card and some other stuff but no link to the actual 90 day online form itself. Would someone please assist by telling me how to find the damned form

As of September last year the company declared liabilities of 100 billion baht including bonds. Payments to contractors were delayed. The company has lost money every year since 2020. TRIS credit rating is BB-

Dr Qadhi was educated in a Saudi university widely considered to advocate the Whabbi strain of Islam. This should give pause for careful thought. Whether not the Dr. Advocating the project subscribes to the Whabbi tenenants of Islam which are widely considered to be somewhat extreme is not known and there is no reason to believe that he does but the Governor of Texas would do well to give very careful thought to this project which might well attract religious extremists. Whabbism is an ultra conservative form of Islam. Adherents to its beliefs are encouraged to flock to Jihadist movements

Were I the worried parent of the boy I would be appalled to read some of the comments on this thread a number of them show a cynical indifference to the feelings of his parents who may well be out of their minds with worry.

For cycle read motorcycle. Given the context of the thread I thought that was a given. Obviously not.

Twenty years ago on Samui police attempted to use the same tactics and achieved nothing. The shop owners absorbed the losses . The fines then and now are so small that tourists really do not care. Shop owners simply will not check for driving licences as to refuse to rent cycles would destroy them. I lived a short distance from one such shop. On several occasions whist talking to the shop owner over an afternoon beer the shop owner left his beer to rent a cycle to a tourist who had shortly before been stopped for not having a licence. Cycle rental is a big business

Does Bangkok Bank still charge B 200 for one years printout of all transactions in bank book ( not deposit account) ordinary passbook.

I may be three or four days late renewing my non O retirement visa ( possible hospital stay) is there a fine for this or will I need to cross a border return and start the whole process again? God forbid!

Slightly irritated by two of the comments in particular the one with "Friend" in inverted commas please let me explain. My " friend" is an eighty three year old lady with arthritis in both shoulders. She was scared that the officers might not understand her inability to lift her arms and not understand her refusal to do so. Previously she has only flown to Europe and how Asian airports work and the possible lack of English was a matter of considerable concern. Her son Googled the question. The first AI answer there was wrong. I have a small for fun bet on the question. Thank you to those who actually answered the question sensibly. I shall pass on the information.

To settle a bet does one go through a body scan on arrival at Bangkok airport? My friend believes AI which says yes. I say this only happens at departure and AI is wrong.

Oops! I missed a zero in line five. It should read £ 6000
