Thanks joe I will try the 8th. The last time this happened they fined me 500 baht for being one day late as they said they opened on the holiday even though it said closed on the website. 

8th it is thanks 

My Non O Visa extension is under consideration and the instruction on the stamp in my passport tells me to return to immigration on the 11th May for the result. (I think)

11th May is a national holiday so then which day should I attend?

Does anyone else agree this says 11th May?

Just a typical non use of mirrors was is common here in Thailand

I see similar accident inducing maneuvers every time I go on the roads here.

I filled out the form and it didn't recognize my wifes ID card number so I submitted the inquiry. The response was to wait upto 15 days for a reply then log back on the system to check for updates.

Proves how single minded it gets, there's no comment of the knock on consequences, companies closing, people losing jobs, food queues, people dying not going to hospital

As you already know its the 'Thai' way....

I would avoid forfeiting the loan at all costs -- if you were black listed you wouldn't even be able to get a phone contract let alone a bank account or loan.

If you really have to sell, then sell it at the price to cover the outstanding loan and forfeit any equity in the property if you have to. Its better than being blacklisted by the credit bureau for years to come.

PS - would renting it out be an option to tide you over until you're able to find a buyer?

Dengue is no joke - especially when you get it.

I haven’t had a drink since 2013 and I don’t miss it one bit. My bank balance doesn’t miss it either. 

Dengue fever is detected with a blood test.

I dont have anything to say I just wanted to post this picture..

Special

But but but...

How will they know the locals from the foreigners...? The foreigners blend in so seamlessly..

Too late, outside today everything looked back to normal except for the masks.

all Bangkok residents seem to be mingling more than before covid 19 came along

It is a combination of a number of components that serve to reduce the transmission rate

 First Thailand and many developing nations had a very high infant mortality rate, fifty years ago in thailand the week did not survive. so consequently we have a more robust older population. 

 Second  Thais do not engage in physical contact as much as the western world, No bear hugs, kissing on the cheeks when meeting, and  hand shakes.

  and thirdly as the OP and others mentioned covering the face. Not only do they wear face masks as a reaction to the virus, but in many regions they cover the face for cultural and work  reasons. How often have we seen the below in Thailand? Thailand's version of PPE.

Then throw in the hot humid weather the decreases the time of suspension of the breathing aerosol, and........

 

I hope they're good at catching flying bricks!?

..Imagine the dent it would make in that guys forehead!

I hope this is true and the masks are making a big difference..

Somehow for some reason I'm unable to justify believing it though.

Planning anything mid to long term is on hold.

Not sure how the Junta lot can claim to be leaders in this field?

The UK are already testing their own vaccine on real people starting today Thursday 23rd April.

Wait..

..I see...

..something..

You might be her next 'swedish guy'..?

There are plenty more fish in the sea, why get mixed up with her.

Tell her to divorce first.

Nestle instant gold blend is my goto cup

My wife purchased land with money we earned together in our business - her family used it to grow just enough to eat and pay for next years planting or whatever they call it.

I helped her fund a few years of 'labor', pui (manure) and tractor hire to start her family off. It was about 15,000 to 20,000 baht per year and then I stopped funding after about 3 years. They (the in laws) are now self sufficient (mostly).
