Probably trying to get Willie Nelson to move here. After all, he fits the age, if not income, profile of most people on Aseannow.

FWIW, went to Chaengwattana today for the extension. Had bank letter from yesterday. Used machine outside bank to update it for today's date. I did so but the machine printed over the previous entry so that the 18 August date was actually a little above the previous transaction. Immigration let it go with a "next time" and told me to get an assistant to make sure the passbook processes properly. Just another of the teeny tiny things that can go wrong at the last minute.

In my case, I know there were also some major repairs made to the house.

Already happening, my new lease increased 15 percent just this month.

Just to make sure. I have seen on this forum that Chaengwattana will accept a bank letter acquired and dated the day before going in for a retirement extension, yes? This, with activity noted and reflected on deposit amount on the letter. Do you also need to supply proof of account activity the day of the appointment? All this for retirement extension, using the 800,000/400,000 baht in the bank all year around method.

Yes, I got completely confused trying to find information. It kept looping back to the original passport page on the embassy website. And I see they officially made the exchange rate for services 38 baht to $1. They're just stealing money, now.

And maybe things are changing there, now that Heath has left and there is a new chief of mission.

Whatever it means, I plan on making mine urgent when the time comes.

Just noticed the excuse was social distancing. What is it now, more than 14 months later, when they still don't allow in person renewals. The embassy seems reluctant to have anything to do with us in person. They don't even provide personalized email responses any more. Their reply is just a FAQ page.

FWIW, when I login to Amazon, I get an OTP number through my Thailand AIS sim.

That article is dated July 24, 2017

It's a copy of the F16. https://eurasiantimes.com/no-buyers-for-f-16s-why-does-j-10-jets-aka-chinese-version-of-f-16s-have-no-customers/

And this is why Thailand will never get the F35s

We know who wrote this.

Ought to target Germans who otherwise this winter are going to be desperately looking for firewood to keep warm.

From 36.73 on July 26 to 35.34 today.

Why doesn't he go to China? That is who he sold out his country to.

What do monkeys have to do with F 35s? . . . Never mind.

No foreigner (and I think you mean Westerner) is a threat to Thailand. It isn't as if planeloads of Aristotles, John Lockes and Thomas Jeffersons are pouring in. And, besides, no Thai would take notice if there were.

Aside from Tiger Balm Gardens, which isn't even on that list, there is nothing there I would want to make a special journey for. The Botanical Gardens are like a ship in a bottle. Everything else is overly antiseptic, like being in a hospital.

BTW, looks like there is a new bruiser at the embassy. Heath is leaving.

Thought they made it a 5000 baht fine about 5 or 6 years ago. There were signs draped over the seats in taxis.

Those people are not "whites." They are British.
