Will the Chinese tourists have to show receipts upon departure?

She still had access to her pics even though phone was stolen?  Maybe synchonized to her PC?

Is there a clown forum? He would rate there.

Trump is not perfect but is HRC?  I cannot vote because I am from UK. We all know both of their faults but I think we only receive one side of the story from looking at the headlines on world news in Thai Visa forum.

Can anyone point me to a pro Trump opening post from Thai Visa?

Any update on the sentence imposed?

It appears the black car wanted to turn right and the driver moved to the right hoping the taxi would give way.   The taxi was in front so the black car should have waited for it to complete its manouvre.  You see the black car turn right when it drives off.

I was intending to go to Sukhumvit on October 1st because the Norwich match is being shown live on TV in a soi 6 bar at 10pm.  I will venture towards the fair in the afternoon. 

This is one day where I will definately be carrying my passport. 

I am surprised no one has brought up the following point... a link to Stickboys site was given. The pic shows him as having a beard. In the video he is clean shaven. Could he grow a beard so profusely in 2 days?

Or did they look for an overweight male who would be close to the description?

As you can see from the pics it is very easy on the top floor to climb in to the neighbouring room. It appears even easier on the floors below.

At the time I always thought that access to rooms next door was too easy as I gazed out of my room looking at Chillax.

and another one showing lack of health and safety

I used to live at Juan Manee next door.  I took this pic 3 years ago when it opened.

A better view

I doubt the paperless office will ever reach Thailand.

From the photos this road is now closed to traffic. Is that actually the case? If it is, what is the problem with vendors?

If it isn't it should be.

No, it is not closed to traffic. Taxis, tuk tuks and motor cycles still use Khao San road. Near Burger King you will see many tuk tuks waiting for tourists. There should be a small area at the end of the road so taxis can pull in for 1 minute to offload passengers. But that would interfere with the tuk tuks who are waiting.

There should be a barrier at each end operated by one person.  Or deliveries allowed between a certain time, eg 11am til 3pm

Khao San road has been a major tourist destination in South East Asia for decades now, and a major part of what defines it and draws people is it's vendors. It hasn't been a traffic thoroughfare for a very long time.

You obviously have not seen the motor cycles that tear down the road honking tourists who are in their way.  I am there every day; only the taxis and tuk tuks are stationary waiting for the next gullible tourist to pay an exorbitant price.

I thought street fighting would be more violent. Clearly pulling their punches.

The "News of the World" reporters would make their excuses and leave....

Were the cctv cameras working in this soi?

I arrived at CW yesterday morning at 10.40 am with 40 people ahead of me in the queue for my Certificate of Residence for car license. I had brought with me utility bills and rental agreement together with the application form. I presented the application form at 11-40 am but was told I had to have certain pages of the passport copied. ( I thought all passport copies were on file from previous visits) The friendly lady said I could come and see her on resumption at 1pm with the copies so I would not have to queue again.

I queued at 12.40 pm outside the door with maybe 20 people ahead of me. By the time I passed through the door there were maybe 45 ahead of me. Why can't they introduce a rope barrier either side of the door to prevent people cutting in? To me it seems an obvious answer. The cost cannot be a consideration.

She did not ask to see utility bills or rental agreement. But...I thought I would get the certificate within a few minutes but was told it would be sent to my address within 3 weeks. I can see the reason for this.

She asked for 200 baht to cover postage costs which I agreed to considering I have seen reports varying from zero to 500 baht.

Cheaper to rent?

If near Khao San/Pinklao take the No. 66 bus. (goes along Charoen Sonitwong) then drops you off at the door an hour later. Same for return. Exit the building and wait for 66. Usually frequent. About 9 baht for non a/c and 21 baht a/c. I get the first 66 I see whether a/c or not. Sometimes I get the free bus. Once I went there and back free:)

Being a Jehovas Witness might be relevant if he refused blood transfusions in the hospital.

Maybe I did not explain properly. I applied from Thailand and received back supporting documents sent from UK to my address here in Thailand. I acknowledge the pension will be frozen from now on.

Well it is frozen now,you have only just received the pension ?,

if that is so you will not have any increases for as long as you

live out of the U.K.,in Thailand anyway.

regards worgeordie P.S. they think you are still living in U.K. ?, hope they don't catch you.

The government know I am living in Thailand. They sent correspondence to me at my address here. I told the truth about everything and sent supporting documents. I find its best to tell the truth rather than be tripped up further down the line.

I recently received the answer to my request for a government pension. I received full pension of 156 GBP despite having lived here 10 years.

I had reason to return to UK for 105 days in 2014 due to serious problems with my ex girlfriend. I had kept the original rental agreement from UK and sent with my application. I was also lucky that my birthday was after April 2016 because calculations changed in that month.

I had previously seen on Thai visa timelines of 3 months and 6 months to qualify for the annual State Pension increase. I am not sure of the exact month/days to qualify but thought I would share my experience.
