The Police Chief said it was offensive to show video. I disagree. Chansley's an idiot, I agree. I just don't get why after committing the crimes for which he was sentenced, he was allowed to continue on with cops opening up doors for him like he's on a tour. Shouldn't he have been in cuffs? It seems like the only videos shown so far shows the break in, why not show the whole story. Why wouldn't the American people be entitled to the whole story?

Which is why the common foreigner using an agent won't come to an end. Not everyone investigates completely what the requirements are. For many 30K isn't a big deal and the following year's extension will be closer to the 16K amount. If a person doesn't mind paying the agent and it saves dumping 800K in a Thai bank, who's the victim? Everyone makes a bit of money and everyone is happy.

Rule on running engine while refueling
EVENKEEL replied to itsari's topic in Thailand Motor Discussion
You can drop a lit cig into diesel and it won't explode. But yeah, I always turn my car off. It's just common practice. -
Having not been there before it's hard to gauge which beach is best but White Sand Beach should be a safe bet because it's the most polular. Some good recommendations which I've checked out. One of the things here in Thailand is it's not common to have say 2 queen beds or 1 queen and a smaller bed for kid. So picking a hotel is also based on number of beds available.

It It's diesel fuel then zero danger. I think even for other fuels the risk is minimal. What about the other cars coming and going next to you while fueling. -
Looks nice, will check out further. If I was solo I'd do you suggest. Prices should be lower if done online, I'd think.

I want to visit for a few days, hotel on the beach, walking to bars and restaurants. Taking the ole lady and kid, looking for a maybe 4 star joint. We'll have a car but don't really want to drive except for sightseeing. Would like a nice room close to everything and a nice beach. Probably looking in the 2700-3000thb/nt range.

https://www.esquire.com/news-politics/politics/a37884804/january-6-capitol-riot-unreinforced-windows/ The majority of the Capitol’s 658 single-pane windows were quietly upgraded during a 2017-19 renovation of the historic building. The original wooden frames and glass were covered with a second metal frame containing bomb-resistant glass. 2 windows weren't upgraded and the rioters used those to enter. So you see it's entirely possible to prevent rioters from entering. Someone should be held accountable for not securing the Capitol properly.

I've heard of victim blaming before but this must be the first 'building blaming' I've seen. Now that is just silly. But to be expected. Steel bars covering windows is not a bad idea now is it. Again, the Capitol police allowing this to happen is more of a story than TC showing a video that doesn't follow the storyline of investigations committee.

When I apply for extension using the monthly deposit method I make sure I have time to hire an agent if for some unforeseen reason it's needed. Mine's coming up in the next few months. No one is forced to use an agent. If you don't qualify for an extension you are free to hire an agent and you're free to depart Thailand. It's all consensual. The rules are clear, sort of.
