Anutin Downplays Covid Regulations for Chinese Visitors

Extra Allowance Approved for State Welfare Cardholders
In the jungle replied to webfact's topic in Thailand News
It is not a stipend if it is a one off payment. -
Thai motorists who have an interest in their vehicles seem to have a bit of an obsession with the age of tyres. One positive benefit of that for me is that you can buy new tyres that are a year or two old at a big discount; which I often do. There is no real downside for me as I get through tyres reasonably quickly.

Thai wives living in the UK and Pensions
In the jungle replied to malct's topic in UK & Europe Topics and Events
gov.uk is very good for information about the UK state pension and you can check your wife's NI record there with her NI number. -
UK State Benefits [Half Thai] Sprogs
In the jungle replied to Jenkins9039's topic in UK & Europe Topics and Events
I suggest the OP start by doing some research on gov.uk into UK state pension entitlement and child benefit entitlement. Right now what the OP says about his entitlement to UK state pension makes no sense. First thing to look at would be his record of NI contributions; then measure that up against what gov.uk says about eligibility for a state pension. Look also at what he can do to improve his NI position. gov.uk is a pretty decent resource and far better to go there than this forum. -
THAI Claims Current Revenue Approaches Pre-Covid Levels
In the jungle replied to snoop1130's topic in Thailand News
I have just been looking at return flights to Brisbane. Scoot = around 40K (Gold Coast airport) Numerous airlines = around 60K Thai = around 117K That is cattle class. -
Thailand is not a signatory to the 1951 refugee convention. That convention imposes conditions upon signatory states. To take one example under the 1951 convention refugees cannot be charged money for such status in a host nation. Thailand makes its own rules on refugees which, I suspect, are imprecise and inconsistently applied like many of their other immigration laws.

Ask them for the piece work rate.

Tourist Evisa from uk
In the jungle replied to ian carman's topic in Thai Visas, Residency, and Work Permits
I did pretty much the same. I used a USB cable to transfer photos from iPhone to PC and saved them on the PC. In fact I created a folder, or sub-folder, just for this one application. I found the e-visa process a complete pain and I will do my best to avoid doing so again. I wasn't working full time on the application but assembling all the documents, saving them, uploading them, filling in the form etc. took two days. I have no idea why, if applying to London, they need three different photos of the applicant including the one in your passport and what on earth is the weird photo of the applicant holding the ID page of their passport next to their face for? This sort of online process just invites them to add on daft requirements without adding to their own burden. -

I took the photos on an iPhone, transferred them to my PC and made the application from that. The main things to watch out for are that the photos are the right format, from memory jpg, and comply with their size limits. -
They should do a Forza TRT edition.

Savannakhet Trip Report
In the jungle replied to Stevey's topic in Thai Visas, Residency, and Work Permits
No. I did not intend to suggest it is a one day process. I believe there is no legitimate way to avoid spending at least one night in Laos. 1. Make the application on the morning of arrival in Laos 2. Collect passport and visa the next morning -
Can Thailand afford to raise minimum wage to 600 baht?
In the jungle replied to snoop1130's topic in Thailand News
Our Burmese workers get 500 a day minimum now and there are no Thais rushing to do their jobs. -
Can Thailand afford to raise minimum wage to 600 baht?
In the jungle replied to snoop1130's topic in Thailand News
Pheu Thai say they will do this by 2027 and, with inflation, minimum wage (based on what Seven 11 pay now) for Thais will most likely be at that level by then anyway.
