Isn't this the same story ? https://www.thaivisa.com/forum/topic/1025448-baby-jumbo-rescued-from-a-well-in-rubber-plantation/?tab=comments#comment-12719644

Yes, it’s the same story just repeated.

But that’s okay with me , a heartwarming story that is worthy of a second look IMO .

Thanks for that info, Andrew. Save me even thinking about trying. As for postal application...well, my nearest PO is still just a 2 minute walk from Immigration, so not worth the effort.

I considered postal application briefly but like you said, not worth the effort , Ayutthaya is rarely busy, except when a boatload of Chinese monks turn up ! ( happened to me )

At my previous IO ( Pathum Thani ) all that was required for 90 day report was your pp and TM 47. Tried this at Ayutthaya, a young girl sitting next to the old battle axe at front desk whisked my pp away, made 4 copies and charged me 20 baht .
When I got my number I was 12 and they were attending number 10 , so all over in a flash.
She printed out a new TM47 , stapled the receipt in my pp, stapled the rest onto my pile of copies ( that she never even looked at ) and pushed it to one side ready for the landfill [emoji51].

All done very neatly and quickly.

One man tending to his field, or is it just a cheap Thai funeral ?

See how easy it is to convert a topic about peoples posting habits to one about meat pies !!

No.

 

I am just teasing him.

 

Andrew knows me quite well from another topic which has come and gone.

 

I will admit that sometimes it is hard to get the banter right but just mention meat pies and Queensland and he will understand.

Don't keep mentioning Yatala Pie shop ! you know i would kill for one !!

 

Mogandave: he wants me !! after all i am a hansum man !

I feel like starting a new thread about tire pressure, motor oil or the fine points of air conditioner service...


Sent from my iPhone using Thaivisa Connect

There was a thread recently that developed into an argument about checking tire pressures when hot as opposed to checking when cold!!
After about 2 pages of bickering I unfollowed it.

Can’t remember what the thread was about originally but it certainly wasn’t tire pressures [emoji23]

The problem being that the Thai celery market has been under the control of high ranking officers for some time.

 

I should know as I have lived here for 30 years,know Thai,Khmer,Swahili and Lilliputian and live in a 'uge mansion with a gorgeous hiso wife who loves me to death...

 

Is that the sort of digression that you may be referring to,Andrew? 

Exactly Ody !!

 

Sometimes the posters desires to make others aware that they have been here a long long time, speak Thai better than most Thai’s and are experts on every subject under the sun makes them unaware that the thread they are posting in is about the price of fish or some other mundane subject !!

Genesis - Driving the last spike

David Gilmour - Wots. Uh the deal

I start a few new topics, but mainly when I want some advice.
I usually try and answer any replies I get and “ reward “ the sensible ones with a like . Likewise I do post to add my experiences to other topics if relevant.

There does seem to be some topics where the OP will disappear and never answer or thank the replies. These topics tend to drift off topic and end up with 2 members arguing over something completely unrelated !!
Don’t get me wrong, these can be entertaining and some good fun can be had by just observing !! But frustrating for the OP if he asked where to buy celery and the topic ends up about Thai police corruption !!

It has in our neck of the woods - about a year ago. The IO just scans the barcode on the new yellow receipt in your passport.
No form filling, just sign the new printed receipt and it's done. Takes two minutes - well in Udon it does.

Not so lucky here in Ayutthaya!!

On presenting my passport and tm 47 at the front desk a young girl promptly made 4 copies ( pp and tm 6 ) charged me 20 baht and asked me to sign and add mobile number on each one before I could get my queue number from the machine. !

Luckily I was still in and out in 10 minutes but I just wondered “ now that my details have been entered into their computer what will become of my little stack of paperwork ? “

I swear I heard a shredder start up as I left !! [emoji51]

Oops

Yup ! , as I expected Ayutthaya Immigration don’t accept online 90 day reports . [emoji20]
On pending for 9 days, sent them an email on Monday and got the gf to call them right now, the answer being “ we don’t do online at Ayutthaya “ !

Hey ho , no biggie !, it’s only 10 km from my home.

I’ll ask them what they need for a postal application when I go, no doubt they won’t accept those either !

C’est la vie !

My other question is, do I really need one?

I need to access a couple of uk sites ( bbc iPlayer for one) and this can only be done in the uk ( theoretically ), a vpn sorts this for me.
Also when I’m in the uk ( I go back frequently) it’s illegal to download torrents there, vpn sorts this again.
In Thailand you might have difficulty accessing some sites, once again a vpn sorts this.

It really depends on your needs.

They don’t make movies like this anymore......... thank god !!

My Thai Christmas tree this year .



In the cold light of day !!

Typical poor reporting. The live action does not live up to the headline. A few punches thrown but it does not look as though any of them connected with lasting effect. Handbags! 

Handbags indeed !

But handbags are preferable over bodybags !!

Seems like this video is piggybacking the Aussie/American story and is of little importance.

Whenever you get an abundance of sex and alcohol together in the same place , add some different nationalities into the mix , the results are always the same !! Violence !

As said many times before, this happens all over the world.

Women, Thai or wherever, cannot not love men, the most you can expect is respect, if you are a good man.
Thai ladies are, as you say,  particularly desirable, and I'm sure they find farang to be particularly 'easy meat'.

“ cannot not “ ?
Does that mean they can ?

Confused !

phoren langitsch wiolaits forum rules!

An exception is made for this “ phoren langitsch “ as it’s the language of the gods and only the elite can speak it !!
