A further disgrace to the nation and human rights of free speech as the country is still being run by unelected idiots, while the winners are yet again likely to be banned.

The Army's hand is firmly up to Muppets buttocks and are effectively still running the country.

I've no need to wonder as I have been in rural Thailand for 15 years.

The bamboo man is less than 1 per cent of farang life in rural Thailand and is therefore not representative, certainly regarding my associates, who live in normal housing with maybe a dog thrown in.

We've come here to retire not work farms, shops etc that's for the Thai members of the family.

Savannahkhet now requiring online appointments and at least 2 days for processing, announcement made earlier this month.

A complete waste of time, the dregs that cause trouble here mostly can't read and have the brain of a neanderthal.

A spell in the Hilton will do them good, lock them up 

To the best of my knowledge only Thai immigration offices can issue a 1 year marriage extension.

I have done 15 marriage extensions at a immigration office and the list of requirements is long.

You need your bank book updated on the day of application showing the 400,000 baht in the account or a bank statement showing 12 monthly deposits over 40,000 baht each if using the income method.

I have never heard of anyone getting a marriage extension at VFS.

Desperate measures, the coffers must be getting even lower...

Utter mumbo jumbo.

Rice production hasn't changed in decades unlike neighbouring countries who have invested in R and D.

Farmers are saddled with ridiculous debt, there is no profit in small rural rice production anymore because prices are so low.

I saw 3 motorcycle or scooters riding through there yesterday afternoon at 3pm...

Good, people who live here should support the local economy not these global don't give a fook businesses who sell crap.

Never had a problem with BBL at any time of day and well after midnight to pay bar or restaurant bills. Was their system down for maintenance...

I usually get a message I forming me

20 plus years ago 

Went there once with a couple of mates, the music was so loud we didn't even finish our beer before check binning and leaving...

The classic Thai scenario of buy it, install it and then forget it until it no longer works...

So the dumb Muppets in the out of date education ministry are now the arbiters of what is a narcotic, thereby taking over from the health ministry, cabinet etc on the issue.

Clearly someone is way out of their pay grade on this one. Meanwhile continue smoking cigarettes behind the bicycle sheds...

why not, as long as it goes in the bank, that's then income

Try telling that to immigration.

They want to see 1 monthly deposit of 40,000 baht or more, 2 separate deposits won't fly.

A friend of mine tried to combine 2 separate deposits and was told no way.

Of course the OPs IO might be different but I would advise a visit to explain what you intend.

Remember you must have 12 monthly deposits before you apply for the extension.

Never will as I already have WhatsApp and Line 

My renewal took 3 weeks from date of application at VFS to pickup at VFS in Bangkok.

Having a village wedding is purely ceremonial. It has no basis in law as such you are all single persons.

If you get legally married this will be much better for you in the future with regard to visas for everyone.

As mentioned above the processes can be wearisome for those who are not prepared to deal with the multiple documents required.

It's upto you if you want to put in the necessary time and effort.

This is clearly a joke because it would be almost impossible to find anyone in that building who hasn't received a bung as that activity is endemic in those circles.

Those bringing the motion are indeed actors due to them never having received a vote and are appointees, courtesy of the corrupt previous administration.

You need a money E wallet, crazy really when you can pay virtually everywhere else with your banking Apps.
