Kkd dog story was great. He was volatile

 I never got that impression from A.U I think you have him mixed up with another user!

 

I never realised KKD was from north as I heard him talk of his family on London a lit. Battersea I think it were.

Yes, i think i've mixed Anotheruser up with someone with a similar name. Someone else who has disappeared .

 

KKD is from London (east i think ) but he did work for a spell up in God's country and stayed very close to my hometown. His dog story was great but i think his downfall was a thread about Pattaya bar girls ! he asked the question and then didn't like the answers and blew a fuse !! i think he took a vacation on account of it. !!

Is nobody watching 'Altered Carbon'?
Blade Runner type Sci-fi with Marc Anthony from 'Rome' as the leading bad guy and a lot of female nudity.
Whole season 10 episodes released yesterday.

I had a look on IMDb, looks good, downloading all 10 as we speak.

I like to get a complete season together and watch it in a week, 1 or 2 episodes a night. Can’t do with this waiting a week between episodes !!
Just gonna fire up Dirk Gently for an hour or so.

Al007 I think passed away. The guys info on living with cancer was like a heavyweight boxing match with 15 rounds.
 
Khonkaendave - remember him? Awol
 
Anotheruser - the food porn guy I think - Awol
 
 

Khon Kaen Dave went back to the uk for a few months and probably just got out of the habit , he was kinda volatile but I liked him, we shared some similar music tastes and he knew the area i had grown up in so we had some things in common .

Anotheruser was looking at relocating back to the US and also thinking about Mexico so has probably left.( I think that was Anotheruser ? )

I recently spoke with immigration in Beung Kan and they told me every time I return to the residence I'm staying at (g/fs home) I need to re register with them in person or she faces a fine, even if I'm away for one night.

I recently spoke with immigration in Ayutthaya re: registering on returning to my residence ( gf’s house) after leaving the country or staying o/night in another province.
The IO told me “ some immigration offices require that, here in Ayutthaya we don’t “.
Of course that could change or another IO in the same office might have different opinions, who knows !!

It’s a lottery !!

I feel for you guys having to register for every night away it really is a f**ked up situation and just goes to show the amount of misinformation which exists within the immigration service is high and really needs addressing but unfortunately as it only affects farangs it’s pretty low on the “ to do “ list !!

The old ones are the best !

Neighbors tell me Thai name for this phenomena is "frog eats moon" , "gob gin duan" , (<<<<Thai language removed>>>>)

Just asked my gf and she agreed and laughed ! 

In her words “ I not know why thai people think this, sometime Thai people crazy “ !

 

Wisest thing I’ve ever heard her say !!

ok lets just say I messed things up and I do have to start over. What are my options at that point ?

As Jack says you would have to go with either of the options talked about in this thread . Doubt if you want to go through all this again !!

If you have a smartphone get your self an app such as Countdown and mark all your upcoming dates .
I use it for birthdays , holidays, 90 days report etc .

Thanks for clearing that up. So let me just clarify a few other points.
In the period up to the 28 Jan 2019, I can come and go as often as I like with no restrictions ?
After the 28 Jan 2019 (assuming I have a permit to stay longer), I will require re-entry permits ?
And then once the permit to stay has expired I will need an extension ?

Every time you enter Thailand from now until 28 Jan 2019 you will get an entry stamp for one year ( minus 1 day ), this is your permission to stay ( not an actual permit ).
So, theoretically you could enter on 27 Jan 2019 and receive an entry stamp stating “ admitted until 26 Jan 2020 “, this is how you achieve 2 years from the O-A visa .After this you need to apply for a yearly extension.

BUT REMEMBER: on 28 Jan 2019 your visa expires and you are then on permission to stay !! From this day onwards you need a re-entry permit to enter Thailand or you will just get 30 days and have to start over.

The early bird catches the......err .. fish ?

Everywhere I drive I see ugly looking dogs. I like dogs so don't get me wrong. I adopted a soi dog 3 yrs ago. But everywhere I go I see neglected and sad looking street dogs. 
 
At my work I recently saw a bitch on heat with 6 of the roughest / ugliest male dogs surrounding her. I should have taken a photo as it was quite funny to be honest. 
 
I walk my dog every night and morning. In 5 yrs Ive only ever seen 1 thai person walking their dog on a regular basis. IMHO Thai people have NO idea about dogs.... The silly old lady 2 doors up from me added 2 more dogs to her yard a few months ago. Now she has 4 that just hang around the inside of her gate and never get a walk outside. ...
 
 
 
 

Same in my Moobahn, pretty much everyone has at least one dog, one house a few doors down has 4 dogs but nobody walks them ever ! except for one guy who rides his bike round the neighbourhood dragging a fat beagle with him.

Next door neighbour has an old Golden Retriever that’s left alone from early till late and the smell of urine and feces is strong when the wind blows our way.

Over the soi a couple have a pitbull that also never leaves the yard ( probably a good idea ! ) but the lady owner doesn’t work and “ plays “ with it by taunting it with a plastic bottle hanging from a stick and one of those washing/clothes stands !!

Maybe with all the soi dogs roaming around it’s not too easy to safely walk your pet ? I dunno , just a thought .

The pre-outting shag is insecurity.  The post-outting shag is the visual and sniff test "inspection" process, rooted in distrust and insecurity.   Cultural conditioning, no doubt. 

In the uk this used to be called “ The Float Test “ !!

Basically when you returned from a night out ( or trip abroad ) she would welcome you with a cold beer and run upstairs to run you a hot bath, she would then give you a quick neck massage while the bath is filling before before leading you upstairs to undress you .
While you are relaxing in the bath, thinking “ this is great ! “ she will pop her head round the door and look at your balls , if those suckers are floating you are in deep shit !!
