I applied as a condo owner on June 20th. Still my status is "Waiting Approval". I read on here that if the documents submitted were wrong (I submitted copies of passport, blue book and chanote) then the office (Chaeng Wattana in my case) will not inform me that the application is not going through. But how am I supposed to know for sure? I could go to immigration but I work Mon-Fri and it's not easy getting a day off. 

Any ideas what I should do? Thanks.

the British interpretation of Asian ?

Sorry, you've lost me. I'm not sure what the British interpretation of Asian is.

I came through Suvarnabhumi 2 weeks ago and about 1 in 20 people were having their bags x-rayed. They were all Asian.

In the video it says that the Embassy will move to a location in Sathorn at the end of this year and that the old residence will be rebuilt where it was once the new development is finished, and with Victoria's statue in the gardens.

Here is a thought - Suppose from tomorrow the UK announced that police would no longer enforce the road traffic act effectively allowing motorists to do exactly what they wanted without the risk of prosecution - what would happen ?

 

- In a very short time we would have the same carnage on UK roads as we have in Thailand right now.....maybe even worse, yes some sensible people would still want to comply with the law because they know it is the right thing - but many wouldn't and it would get worse over time

 

 

 

It’s already happening. There are very few traffic police about now. I was driving there last month and I was shocked at the amount of red light jumping, speeding and cars parked wherever anyone felt like it. 

I own my own condominium unit and I applied as the owner through the Section 38 app on June 20th, and attached a copy of my blue book, the chanote and my passport. I received the confirmation email link a few minutes later, but still no user name or password. I'm in Bangkok. I checked online yesterday at: https://extranet.immigration.go.th/fn24online/ and my status is "Waiting for Approval". I have left the country and returned since applying but I think if I try to report my address it'll only confuse things due the the above status, so I'm kind of in limbo.

Only discontinued by BFS. Bangkok Airport Limousine still offers fast track for 1200 Baht.  I used it on June 30th.

 

We don't use the automatic e-gates.  We go through the Thai line that still has an IO which is the one for pregnant and disabled people.  My wife goes through and tells them I'm her husband and then I go through w/ no issues.  Longest queue I've seen was about 5-6 people.

 

One more thing worth noting:  One time about 2 years ago I came through alone around 1am w/ no fast track, and the immigration line was pretty long (starting to back down the ramp, mostly full of Chinese), and I just politely asked one of the ladies standing on the ramp directing people if I could use the Thai line, and she smiled and said ok.

 

Thanks for the info

I don't take a chance anymore.  I either go through the Thai line w/ my Thai wife (we use the pregnant/disabled line) or if I'm flying alone I pay 1200 Baht for the fast track which gives you an agent waiting as you exit the plane to escort you through the fast track line that Thai Airways Business Class use.

I think you’ll find the latter has been discontinued.

I’ve never tried the Thai line; how does that work with the automatic e-gates?

Dumb comment. 

 

If it was in the US, would the article state 'the police warned the Americans and all foreigners'?

 

Of course not, so stop the stupid Thai bashing!

Dumber comment.

Thai bashing? Was I? If anyone, I was bashing the writer of the article. Whether or not he/she is Thai is irrelevant. If the article applies only to Thais as only they are affected (as suggested by some on here) then why translate it as it is irrelevant. As for a report in the US saying what you suggested I would hope not as everyone is equal and nobody shouldn’t be singled out. 

Yeah, just throw his body in the back of the pick-up guys. No respect needed.

Blimey, If one jug of beer killed him it must've been very strong stuff. I'm guessing it was liquor.

There seems to be a lot of baseball bats used in this country yet I have never heard of or seen anyone playing baseball.  Perhaps the bats are imported to be used as weapons.

 

You can buy them in Decathlon, about 1,600 baht each. They have gloves (mitts?) and balls too. They also stock cricket bats, oddly. Although I think cricket is played here sometimes.

That's probably how the little thug celebrates Songkran.
