In my local town here in Isaan we've never had so many new pharmacies open... From being just 3 or 4 there are now more than a dozen.

If in any doubt sign it, copy it and copy it again, always best to have backup when dealing with the fickle Thai officialdom.

I am not holding my breath like TiT officials utter these things and very little ever comes of them. And if it were to pass the amount of actual tax would be minimal if you go by the current tax threshold as published.

The tragedy is the millions of lost votes cast by citizens that haven't been honoured because of the corrupt unelected senate and the usual cronies that are currently screwing the country...

Absolutely hilarious, they couldn't change their underpants if they wanted to let alone anything else. Just imagine the amount of resignations upon learning that the global standard of policing involves routine patrols, instead of the current lethargy of sitting in the station twiddling thumbs on the mobile while waiting to respond...

Of course, TiT

They shouldn't advocate anything, just ban all sales full stop, it is the corrupt selling them and the criminals using them, absolutely no need for citizens to have them let alone a 14 year old.

I know a few expats that chose to retire in Isaan because they prefer a smaller place that doesn't have all the chaos, noise etc than larger conurbations further South.

Also happened to a friend of mine a week after his application they called and said the regional office needed additional information.

And your wife's ID card and house book copies when I last did were required.

And what about the billionaire construction magnate who is still a government minister after his disastrous tenure as Health minister being investigated...

The press are reporting this idiot is a comedian, I fail to see anything he's ever done as being remotely funny. He's a complete and utter talentless moron who got lucky. Not so lucky now though...

Heartless morons...

Not me but I know a few others who have flu like symptoms, all Thai. They come back from the doctor with countless bags of pills...

Yes, all to close to home as a 12 year old girl tragically died last week in the next village to mine after suffering multiple bites. Was in ICU for 4/5 days but they couldn't save her. RiP sweet angel ????????????

I consider it prudent to keep copies of all my relevant passport pages that concern my annual extension as a backup. It payed dividends when 10 years ago I lost my passport. Got the police report and a new passport and provided the copies to IB and it was all restamped up without question.

You can only get a visa extension at a immigration office unless you are using a agent. As far as I am aware VFS is not acting as a agent.

Many things are cheaper in the sticks, that is a small Isaan village in my book. Places like Tops are only to be found in some larger cities. The main supermarkets are Lotus's, BigC and of course the 7s etc. I would imagine prices are fairly standard across the country. Yesterday I paid 65 baht for a large bottle of Leo, Chang is 60. In Pattaya recently I paid 55 baht in LK Metro for a small Leo, happy hour price before 9pm. A full bowl of pork noodle soup 40 baht. You can build a small 1 floor house with 2 bedrooms, living room, kitchen and bathroom for 1M baht maybe slightly more or less. You do need a car but parking is free.

It's all mumbo jumbo, when they get into power the ears are tugged, the elbows clasped and the reality of how the corruption wheel spins is revealed. Hence change means, no change at all and the status quo rumbles on...

He's probably already left the country with the rest of his millions in ill-gotten gains...

No doubt all the other undesirable communist mafia are rubbing their hands at the ridiculously ill thought out free visa policy.

Absolute joke but typical of the arrogant Muppets to think a committee or whatever will mitigate the effects of the natural world, just another allowance and expenses junket.

So now it's the old boys network setting up the old girls network...

Sadly a 12 year old girl died from Dengue 2 days ago, in my Isaan village, as far as I am aware there is no cure and no real vaccine available to combat Dengue, although I am aware work is ongoing but has been for years.

Too many
