It surely is only a brief correction. I mean, how could the world not have full confidence in the British parliament:

Strong and stable - stable (augean, most likely) being the key word.

Along with the traditional japanese onsen, they have a steam and a dry sauna. Plus great massage on-site, a nice cafe and a quiet room. I can easily spend half a day chilling there.

 

One possibility - did you put the Visa Number on your TM-6 entry-form?  If not, that could be why they missed it.

Yes, I did. The form was filled in correctly, with a clearly spelled local address and all the other required information, including the visa #.

I try not to take any chances with the immigration, even though METVs are currently fairly safe, considering the time I spend in TH on an annual basis (4-6 months). 

I'll visit the local immigration office in the next week or two and post an update.

 Hi All,

 I've entered TH via BKK yesterday with a METV valid until mid January 2019. I was stamped in without questions (my 3rd entry this year, previous stays for 6 weeks and 2 months respectively). Being jet lagged and generally miserable I did not check the stamp immediately... A few hours later I've found out that instead of a 2 month TR entry, I was given a 30 day waiver.

 I am now wondering why is that? A common mistake - the IO did not notice the METV (even though it was on the page next to the one with the stamp) - or is there something more to it?

Agree, the 15:10 train is perfect.

It's a beautiful journey, which allows you to spend a few daytime hours enjoying the views and get a good night sleep as well.

If EU wants preferential treatment they will have to negotiate it, if the EU wants EU citizens living in the UK to be able to remain, then UK citizens living in the EU should be able to remain on the same terms.

I don't think that at this moment the EU will have to do anything.

They seem to have already discounted the potential impacts of a hard brexit and their growing impatience with nationalist states such as Poland or Hungary seems to indicate that they are losing patience with all the marginal banana republic types.

Personally, I will be quite happy to see UK finally kicked out from the EU and falling into a decades long recession. Well deserved. Sorry for the common people though.

Amazing. Sort of a Little Bang(kok) Theory.

Keep up the good job. I would love to see some formulas.

Do most people have a separate PC for downloading, for security - or just download to their main PCs?

I only had a Torrent virus once, that was 10 years ago.
I'm using Win10's built in antivirus, have not had any problems so far - though some people say there are better.

 

 

 

 

 

Same machine - with VPN and AV.

Achtually, I am using three different devices, depending of my location - and Ubuntu desktop,  a W10 desktop or an anadroid tablet. I will use VPN on all of them and an AV the W10 machine. But I do not have a dedicated machine for torrents.

If you are super paranoid you could buy a virtual desktop (which can be purchased using BTC etc. thus fairly anonymously) and run your torrent client there,  then connect to the desktop via RDP (or (s)FTP or whatever) over a VPN and download the files to your actual machine. But that't a crazy overkill for BT only.

 There are tons available on Lazada.

 Alternatively, you may try the Ekkamai Big C - there is an Index Living Mall on the second floor, which is quite well stocked.

This reminds me of the Great Leap Forward: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Four_Pests_Campaign

Ah, happy memories. ?

3. I did my test last year and the questions were the same (there might have been some very minor differences, possibly one or two questions on the exam that weren't in the online test).

That site seems to be a meta-torrent index, pulling files from other Russian torrent sites including my favorite  https://rutracker.org

 

I like Rutracker for the obsessively complete discographies on there often including very obscure stuff.

 Good point. I guess I was too focused on what I was looking for to notice that it links to rutracker. ?

 Also another site - something I have discovered recently: http://tparser.org/ .

 Lots of lossless jazz, including some fairly rare items.

The bay, eztv, rarbg.

uTorrent

None whatsoever.

I did fly with them a few times, no issues whatsoever. True, SVO is not the friendliest airport out there.

Also check out Ukraine Airlines, some really good deals with the same caveat regarding the airport. KBP is really bad - but they do have a half-decent lounge.

And this is related to Bangkok how exactly?

Additionally, is a rat in a hotpot in "Weifang city, in east China’s Shandong province" enough to make a sweeping generalization of all hotpots in TH?

Srsly, some people...

So, you're screaming racist and nazi, because I'm laughing at people pushing and shoving each other to grab food. How quaint.

Screaming? You ought to get a hearing test ASAP.

They're using plates to scrape food from a buffet. I don't know if that can be seen through rose-tinted glasses.

Now, THAT changes everything! ?

And I definitely prefer rose tinted glasses to nazi uniforms.?

Quite civilized and good humored.

Seems that for some people any occasion is good to indulge in casual racism and Thai bashing... To quote you-know-who: "sad".

Total BS. ?
