    From just one website:
    "To use an e-cigarette, you load the liquid and apply electricity, heating the liquid until it vaporizes. At this temperature, the chemicals inside the fluid undergo a breakdown process and are converted into other chemicals. Using an advanced measurement system called nuclear magnetic resonance spectroscopy, scientists examined the new chemicals, and in the process, found a particularly concerning result.
    When the e-cigarette liquid broke down, it produced both formaldehyde and formaldehyde-releasing agents, a troubling result when you consider that formaldehyde is a known carcinogen. In fact, the recent article compares the risk of developing cancer from this e-cigarette toxin to the risk of cancer from smoking traditional cigarettes, and states that that the risk with e-cigarettes may be up to 15 times higher."

    And you forgot the stinking and annoying part also...

    Best you go home. It'll be better for your all round health at least you'll know the drains won't stink.

  2. This is as serious as it gets. The real sufferers here will be the Thai's that have husbands and children along with staff employed in retail, hotels on and on it goes. It's a sad situation all around.

     

    It's not like the Thai families can lobby the government to set up social security for those affected by the rule changing on a whim. They need to be vocal.

     

    Even if they could afford to take their family home it's an expensive deal with no guarantee of acceptance in their home country.

     

    As for the 800.000 in the bank, I'd be seriously nervous about the roadmaps in the up and coming elections. That in itself is another huge issue. You'd need to keep a few $$ under the mattress.

    Your lack of specificity does not encourage a response. Which immigration office? Rude in what way?

    Specificity?  maybe you need to re read the OP's thread starter. It specifically states what office and which officer. Tut tut.

    Isn't it 200 baht plus four a pie? Growing up in oz I always looked at pies as a quick fix to fill the hole. Certainly not a dine in experience.

    Will have to try one next time in jomtien and see if I'm wrong

    His pies are double the filling to Aus seriously filled to the brim with meat. I'm hungry now Lol.

  5. Tinnies..in Jomtien has the best pies outside australia. It's an Aus owner with a serious baking kitchen that's immaculate. He does eat in meals. Also so does a huge selection of pastries. I wish they'd put it on foodpanda. They have large sizes that are frozen if you have an oven for reheat. 

    Rave reviews on google and tripadvisor. Worth a trip to stock up.

  6. If in Jomtien, try the Optometrist outside Tesco Lotus on Chaiyapruek Road. I have had lenses done for 700 -900 baht. I didn't have a car and he kindly picked me up for the eye test and delivered them when they were completed at no extra charge.

    Let me know when you are happy with each answer.

     

    First question answered in link is the requirement to carry your original passport.

     

    More info available if required but please be nice. I am not trying to spread false information or do any harm.

     

    Only information to discuss and as i said before. I am not a Guru and I accept if i write something incorrectly which makes it difficult to understand. Apologies

    For someone who just 10 day's ago posted  "Sorry does that mean I shouldn't put info into the post that i have read. I have only just started on ThaiVisa and not sure of the rules"

    has decided to educate members on your interpretation on Thailand Immigration laws.  May I suggest you leave this to the 'experts' on this forum to  to handout information. I note, all your links have been removed, obviously, by someone in authority here.

    This subject has been flogged to death here...move on.

  8. Research has also shown that people with parents or siblings who have

    depression are up to three times more likely to have the condition.

    I have genetic depression and have to accept that it is someting only I can fix for myself.

    I had great results in alleviating it by taking on Yoga and Meditation (never thought I'd see myself at either of these institutions).

    It's cheap to try it out as there are many of these classes around thailand along with meeting many people who are there for the same reason which I find better than counselling as each has a seperate type of depression which when talking to some people makes you thankful that your own depression is minimal compared to some.

    Give it a go as I'm sure it will help you and good luck in finding relief.

    My UK insurance would cover me for a bike if I had a license Helmet and was sober but he fails all.  OK we should all feel sorry for him which I do and hope he gets better but he needs a Transplant of Common Sense which seems to be a worldwide thing.  

    This is an australian insurers rules..re bike. Self explanatory-

     

    . 9. Your claim arises from the use of a two - wheeled or three - wheeled motor vehicle unless you as the driver or a passenger are wearing a crash helmet (this is irrespective of the law in the country you are in). 10. Your claim arises from a y ou being in control of a motor vehicle without a current Australian driver licen c e . 11. Your claim arises from a you being in control of a motorcycle , moped or scooter without a current Australian motorcycle or driver licenc e or you are a passenger travelling on a motorcycle , moped or scooter that is in the control of a person who does not hold a current motorcycle or driver ’ s licen c e valid for the country you are travelling in.

    I was thinking more you don't know who these people are, I doubt his 4 mates are in jail, also high chance they might not be choir boys + might be members of this forum, yes witnessed by many, but how many will be going down the courthouse tomorrow and loitering around where he and they will be.  By all means be a witness if you want but why not keep a low profile for your own security.

     

     

    No, the starbuck crew were tourists as I heard them say they'd been here a week. Court is now in 10 days for a re-enactment. Just a note, I'm a female and would have been attending solo without a posse.

    there are certainly bar brawls that happen but this was a particularly brutal attack that is not the norm, at some point during this serious assault it could be argued that the motive changed to "wanting to kill"

     

    Someone died and the Thai police cannot and will not ignore that fact, if not murder it sure is manslaughter and will carry a hefty jail term, fish head soup for at least 15 years

     

    I would also be doing a background check with the US authorities - if the account of what happened is even half right this thug will have previous form in the US

     

    RIP to the guy 

     

    Is there a possibility he will get bail?
