Read and learn....
"Sharization" or "Islamisation" (Urdu: محمد ضیاء الحق کی اسلامی حکمرانی) was the "primary" policy,[1] or "centerpiece"[2] of the government of General Muhammad Zia-ul-Haq, the ruler of Pakistan from 1977 until his death in 1988. Zia has also been called "the person most responsible for turning Pakistan into a global center for political Islam"
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Muhammad_Zia-ul-Haq's_Islamization
The ONLY person to blame for Islam, 'political' or otherwise is Mohammad who spread his faith by the sword, sharia and it's spread is the creation of Islam, not a 20th cent leader.

Pakistan, the country deemed worthy of receiving £374,000,000 of aid from Britain last year.
Immediately stopping aid payments would be one way of getting the message across that this is just barbaric.

wow it would not cost much more than that to keep ex pats pensions up rated, but no give it to a country that kills for blasphemy against a non existing 'God'

That's a standard part of morlam concerts.
No it's not, far more likely at Phua cheewit, esp that old fraud carabao's concerts. Songkran is for kids and idiots of course.

The way they drive says a lot about most Thais, selfish, recklessly dangerous and with an almost total disregard for the safety of themselves and all other road users. They need a real driving test and the rules enforced, unfortunately most do not even know what the rules of the road are, except me first and you get out of the way.

How much did they pay the monks? You would think westerners would have more sense than to engage in this nonsense

BIL got stopped for drunk driving, 3k or visit to cop shop and 5k. Knocked him down to 2k as govt officer! They let him drive off of course.

Another poster wrote that he got 12 pcs. for 7 baht. Your number comes a little closer....
Of course you can, if you paste up pics in Photoshop or similar and get just one print with them on done, usually what I do.

They are lying the photos do not have to be done by them, more evidence of a scam and any photo shop will do your pics for 100 baht

she looks a bit posh with a few bob, no problem then, how dare they! my ears hurt

It does seem it is set up to mislead all into thinking they HAVE to pay the fee when we do not. There should be a clear message that states if you need the nanny service it's 200 baht, but if you have the form etc proceed to the officer and hand it over with 1000 baht. It's all a bit sly.

Immigration did one while I waited, took about five minutes, no post and no fee. I took a form downloaded from immigration website.

Everyone I know buys at the least a single Re-Entry Permit at the same time they get a new VISA or an extension of one. Most get a multiple Re-Entry Permit. FYI the "Residence Certificate" also has a local fee attached to what is in fact a free service. This is the third world folks. Get your Health Insurance and then get back to us with this 200 Baht complaint stuff. God Bless You.
The residency cert is free, I did not pay for mine, some mugs do though and that is just another little brick in the corruption wall. Why pay for something you do not need to?

Anyone got a photo of the desk?, I never noticed it before

if it was 'urgent' you have not left enough time to get to the gate, if that was the case how can they fill a form out with all you details faster than you can? it's a service you certainly can do without and getting them to fill out a form is likely to slow things down, a lot of people would have downloaded it and filled it in before they get there, if they have 10 minutes to spare

200 baht for filling out a form that asks for your name, address, passport and entry history etc, that's worth about 30 baht, 200 baht is half a days work, not four minutes. You only need the 'service' if you can't write.

I would never trust them to be open anyway, the risk is too great so get one before. This should be reported of course., but filming it and putting on fb always seems to work better!

No one has mentioned filth and trash everywhere. The air quality here has to be one of the worst in the world. Killing people every year with the burning. That alone has me thinking of other places to live.
All along the roadside where we are there is rubbish, even fields full. Had to move from Bangna Trad due to the filthy air- always black deposits from traffic and we were 250 yards from the road. Only time in my life I got bronchitis , is there any monitoring of traffic pollution?

Because that must be the most degrading and filthy thing that can happen to a man. Along with the outrush of faeces upon withdrawal. Please feel free to correct me if I am wrong. Seems a disgusting activity to me, but these days, it is not illegal to be a deviate. So I am very tolerant and understanding. Live in peace.
I don't believe it's any filthier or degrading than hetro sex, and there is no out rush of faeces, gay sex is not an enema!

You are not an islamophobe! You just dont agree with the quoran. An islamohpobe is someone who dislikes all muslims.
Either my or your definition of islamophobe is incorrect. Explains why we argue. Simple misunderstanding.
wrong, a phobia is an irrational tear and Islamapohobia is fear of Islam, not Muslims. Considering the threat is has always posed a fear of Islam is not at all irrational, despite the many 'peaceful' Muslims

I have only ever had to use CW and before that the old one near lumpini, suan phlu but next week we are moving a few miles and will be in samut prakan province area. I know I will have to report change of address but what are they like to deal with? I have read about them having a few different rules and regulations which seem a bit unique, what will I have to change from dealing with CW?

I'd knock car innsurance of the list
4 minutes ago, retarius said:I was going to comment on this as well….apart from housing, hotel, Labour and car insurance I can't think of much that is cheaper in Thailand. Cars are very expensive and so is food….plus if you are older, you have the issue of healthcare. No a waste of 60K pounds plus 600 pounds a year.
I'd knock car insurance off the list as it can be more in Thailand. Looking at chocolate in Tops yesterday which still had 1.99 euro stickers on 'reduced' to- 145 baht!
14 fewer road accident deaths in first three days of Songkran holiday

Anyone know why they don't institute a real driving test?, would seem to be the obvious place to start and I'm sure there would be just as much room for corruption. Now you can get a driving license without ever driven on a road, seems rather er dangerous.
