    I'm sure she listened intently to his confession and was in awe of his band playing antic's. She has probably never heard of NI and certainly won't be able to pick it out on a map, due to the total lack of interest in geography in Thai schools, let alone know anything about the troubles and the differences in the various factions that were involved...

    A bottle of beer at the 39 beer bar and you get 1 baht change, at least that was the case a few weeks ago

    Not while in Thailand. I recently renewed mine it only took 3 weeks. You get 30 days to collect the new one, after that it's returned to the UK. 2 trips to BKK but some R&R and shopping makes a change from the Isaan village.

    There are plenty of citizens who are Thai nationals but identify as Khmer and speak as their first language one of many Khmer dialects. I have them in my family. As well as others who speak the Lao dialect. Thailand is full of ethnic groups whose culture and language isn't central Thai orientated but are Thai nationals.

    Best to rip it all out, it's very hard to completely eradicate termites in my experience as they bore into the centre of the wood and replace with steel which is cheap at the moment due to the chinese dumping here. That's what I did to my garage and store rooms, I repurposed some of the tiles to save mobey and bought new ones.

    They won't have a business visa to sell anything, so round them up and deport and blacklist the s***

    Laos upto it's armpits in debt to the chinese, another country ruined by communism. I can't blame the vendors for taking such action, it's a pity the government has sold the country out.

    The thugs should still be in the monkey house, lucky to get out so soon. At least we have seen the back of them. Good riddance.

    There has been a office in ROI Et for a few years now, before that we had to go to Amnat and in the dark years Mukdahan. It is situated a couple of Ks along the road to Maha from the Robinson's crossroad, on the right-hand side. It is signed, you do a U turn after the pedestrian bridge.

    I was RBT on highway 24 between Buri Ram and Khorat a few years ago around 11am, the 1 and only time here in 15 years. It was negative.

    I have usually found the people in Roi Et to be generally helpful. It won't do any harm to go in and have a chat with them first. Just remember that Savannahkhet is appointment online only now and that individuals have reported that getting one is problematic, due to the visa run mini bus companies booking the slots as soon as they are made available, 2 weeks in advance. Good luck.

    Absolutely they would. Certainly in my case the quality of life here is far superior than the UK.

    I obtained my TIN without a CoR. Just used my yellow book, pink ID card and passport.

    I don't turn up with pre filled forms anymore as they always want to give you their one and ask you to fill it in at the table provided. Forms 1, 2 and 3 have been a requirement for sometime at my office.

    I can see that being introduced for marriage extensions as well.

    Always risky getting multiple single tickets, miss 1 flight and your are Donald Ducked. Best to buy with the same airline on multiple stops, so much for saving money.
  17. Andycoops
    My home visits have always been after the extension has been issued not during the under consideration period. And they call ahead to establish if you are there before leaving their office. However, it's entirely possible some IOs may arbitrarily do it then in the under consideration period.

    A friend did the same thing last month and had to supply a copy of his utility bill, electric I believe he sent them, with his name and address on and the last one he had received. He got his visa done in less than 10 minutes he told me. I believe it's to stop people getting E visas from outside of the UK.

    Everyone knows the current Muppet of a PM is just a cardboard cutout wheeled out with his silly grin to do absolutely nothing other than yahk...

    No plans to leave, been here 15 years, unless they kick me out for whatever reason. Positives are that it's a far better quality of life than where I came from and still is. Negative is having to deal with Thai bureaucracy but it's only a occasional negative.
  21. Andycoops
    Never

    Another scandal led by the BiB, hardly a surprise as they and the military are running illegal businesses all over the country on a daily basis.
  23. Andycoops
    The EC should be nullified along with the entire senate, set up by a bunch of army Muppets who usurped democracy and have no idea how a country should be governed.
  24. Andycoops
    Thailand is oblivious to the scenario. Throw in no parental responsibility on behalf of the male population who sire children and then disappear because there is no enforcement of their financial support for the child/children, it's hardly surprising women are opting out of having any.
  25. Andycoops
    Laws in Thailand are sporadically enforced at the best of times and has always been the case because of vested interests...
