  1. It's a pity that no one is tackling the noise pollution coming out of government house and parliament.
  2. Our local river burst it's banks a few weeks ago and shows no sign of getting lower because of upstream run off. First time in 14 years that I have been here in Isaan, near Yasothon.
  3. If you send the passport by courier, Kerry express for example, it should arrive in 24-36 hours.
  4. Yet again the dinosaurs, with the dinosaur in chief, seek to stilfe entrepreneurship to keep their corrupt billionaire cronies in a cartel at the expense of the consumer.
  5. Unfortunately the current crop of Muppets in government have the intellect of a grain of sand so talk of master plans and geopolitical nous are pointless.
  6. The Thais had 2 years to make tourism more attractive and overhaul the multiple ludicrous visa rules but as usual they did nothing. Inertia rules the Kingdom as no one has any vision or strategy to modernize because the status quo allows the corrupt to flourish at the expense of everyone else.
  7. Sad that it has taken so long with Thailand being the ASEAN hub of the drug trade. But then of course social problems don't exist in the hi-so corrupt world of Thai officials.
  8. Pre covid I did a couple of Savannakhet runs. No wife just signed copy of her ID card and house book.
  9. Any immigration officer in any country has the right to ask questions of anyone trying to enter. If you dislike the prospect of being questioned then stay at home, it's part of international travel.
  10. Absolutely, after over 100 guns go missing from a police armoury because they were stolen and sold on, I wonder how many are missing in sattahip? And all this after the kindergarten tradegy.
  11. Clearly a lack of counting skills in the BiB until it comes to the contents of envelopes. Surely there is at least an annual audit of an armoury, I mean 1 going missing might be missed but a <deleted> hundred, unbelievable but TiT
  12. Jabba at his denial best, the fat controller is as bent as his underpants elastic under the strain from what's above.
  13. On my last marriage extension I had 9 FTT codes and 3 local bank XFR codes on my 1 year bank statement. I use Wise and always select the, long term stay in Thailand, option. Tried to contact them about it but the useless automated system on messenger can't understand a simple question. However, no mention was made of this at immigration and my application was accepted, currently on 30 consideration so it remains to be seen if Korat pickup on it.
  14. While the military and police benefit from the trade in arms nothing will be done because of the lust for money and their greed. A complete disgrace and stain on the nation.
  15. It is common practice in hotels that if you lose your key card, you pay for a replacement. It's also why many hotels ask for a returnable deposit upon checking in against any damages.
  16. I pay 600 baht which includes the compressor being cleaned. As it's outside it gets far dirtier than the inside unit so I don't understand why you wouldn't have it included to further optimise performance.
  17. Another one if thousands of laws that will be occasionally enforced as and when the BiB get off their own phones in the station.
  18. Guilty by his silence which is unusual because we normally get a denial or the inevitable there's been a misunderstanding statement.
  19. The tip of the iceberg... The rotten to the core Thai police force only interested in filling their own pockets full of baht and no respect for the nation or it's citizens.
  20. Attempting to shut the door, which will never happen, after the horse has bolted. 'Obtain a certificate from a superior ' which will be received after the appropriate sum has exchanged hands, so full of the usual holes that it would make a Swiss cheese look good.
  21. No doubt at a substantial fee.
