I like Thailand.. weather is good, live in the countryside NE. Some issues but they can be found anywhere. All in all good... one

exception is HD aside too dang expensive and I enjoy riding. 

No phones No emails....... perfect 

Read an article about man arrested in US for same type of behavior.

Sentenced to prison and a week later.......oooops an inmate did him in.

Even bad guys don’t like these people. 

Was the “pedo” remark before or after the “shove it up his ass” remark.

If it goes to court it be on News everywhere.

Your arguments is like many others on here that presuming he has some guilt or something to hide.

Let me tell you something please, you cannot be mistaken if u acccuse another of being a pedo, and you better have your facts right.

Its like saying a woman is "a little bit pregnant" either they are or are not.

Agreed and when I saw he called the person a “Pedo” I thought maybe its something to do with submarines didn’t think anymore about it. Once. It was clearly stated what it meant....... that is way out of line.

Why ? It’s about the product for a rescue not a person. I’m Musk wants

to attack a person then do it aside from conflicts with the rescue. 

Really a stupid thing he did saying such 

I do agree Musk comments were over the top and perhaps showed his sensitive side.

If  Musk was indeed asked to come up with a possible solution there’s no reason it kick him for the results. A lot of video was shown on television of

the rescue. A number of them showed the stretchers carried by four persons. 

The boys would have to be take off the strecthers if as described the mini sub wouldn’t fit/work. Realistically we don’t know if the mini sub would work or not? It was an idea used or not that was trying to help. 

Most of the public didn’t know the boys would be sedated for the move. Maybe the mini sub idea was to make sure the boys got air and safe way for transfer. 

End of the day the rescue was a success. The videos also show it was not a handful of people that made the rescue a success. There were a lot of people

doing their part to help.......in the cave and outside across the globe 

Make sure they all get their deserve s thanks ....   if only four persons they’d still be trying to get the boys out of the cave. 

I was thinking of putting together some of the comments and try to encourage neigh to Thai and Farang that education is important and good education is even better......

then half way through said to myself nobody’s going to listen 

I’ve had gout attacks off and on for 7 years now every 2-3 months. If you let it get full blown it’s extremely painful.  Usually knees or foot (big toe). It is so painful you can barely get around if at all. 

The Colchicine as suggested prior works very well and most local pharmacies have it.

There are two readily available at local pharmacies for gout. One for daily maintenance and other when an attack comes on.  Maybe someone on the forum knows. Colchicine is one 

I dont take it daily anymore, usually can tell when it’s coming on and take the medicine a couple of days. I eat whatever I feel like.

Try the medicine above and you should be good to go. 

Good luck!

The horn should be used to alert / avoid an accident. There standard for every car reasons? .. safety is the number one. 

Or do like my Thai friend instead of a little beep on the horn to get 

the dog out of the road, run over the dog and look in the rear view mirror 

to see if he survived.....actually happened and I was <deleted>?

I’ve shown the Tha DL when stopped no questions asked. US now has a Passport that’s like a DL. Only for use in North America but easy to keep in wallet if asked for passport.....

May need to research about having passport with you. China is the same if the officers has a case of the ass they ask for passport which is

by China law required to be with you. 

But it never really got a hassle ..... just told them at home. 

I think it requires you to be able to reach the pedals.......a little humor.  

Good luck tonight or lets say wee wee morning at World Cup..

fortunately us Americans have the best seat on the couch....

ie out before it started

Did he fire six shots or only five'? Well to tell you the truth, in all this excitement, i kind of lost track myself. But being that this is a .44 Magnum, the most powerful handgun in the world, and would blow your head clean off, you've got to ask yourself one question: 'Do I feel lucky?' Well do ya, punk?

Well done Brits as well all nations involved. It’s awesome to see all the people working together and saving these Boys! 

If I remember correctly the Governor is being moved to another smaller

province because he didn’t along well with other officials.... 

i congratulate him for a job well done........ if he doesn’t get along with

other officials maybe it’s because he’s trying to make changes and not be a yes man.....Good on him!

Oops it’s turned into a debate. If single works or multiple.....do what works for you. I get the single just because travel ISR down and Thailand is pretty good place. 

Never give up hope miracles do happen....like an earlier post said negativity doesn’t help at all.....

Same here I did mine in Udon Thani no witnesses needed   

Is it possible to get a Non-O.not based on marriage? 

If the situation is explained and on the up and up I think Immigration 

will listen. At least Udon Thani have been straight forward when I’ve 

visited. 

If you buck the system and they catch on they’d probably be some grief. 

I don’t mind the 90 day report. It’s a good reason to go to the BIG city.

Wanted to share my recent ( yesterday) experience renewing Non-O retirement visa / extension

Put myself in last minute jam thinking I had plenty of time. Not! Everything worked out great.

Ubonjoe advised what was needed (how/when/what) to get done. Including links to printable documents 

To fill in made everything painless. All was done within a week.

Appointment at US Embassy was advised by Ubonjoe and another forum member appointments available

in 2 days to book it!  as well given link to make appointment. 

US Embassy Bangkok (Consulate Citizens office) income affidavit. In and out in 10 minutes. 

Thai Immigration Udon Thani -  Transfer Visa to.New Passport, Renewed 1 Year Non-O, 90 day check in slip

in and out 30 minutes. Next check in September. 

One question at Immigration which I didn’t prepare have pre prepared....... Do you like Isaan food. 

Its amazing what others do for nothing to make our life easier. Thanks to all it’s very much appreciated! 

I was typically a hot head but learning (it takes time). Have curtesy towards others be kind to them and in return 

they’re nice to you. 

Thanks to All!

TM8 form. https://www.immigration.go.th/download/1486547955788.pdf

You may of been trying the Bangkok immigration website that is not longer being updated.

Other forms can also be found in this topic.

 

Ubonjoe - on the fillable TM7 I can fill in blanks but when you go to next

field the prior field disappears.  Is there something I’m doing incorrectly? 

Thank so 

Wife go to  speeding ticket sent in mail picture of car speed etc.  She has t paid yet.  BUT China has same camera system for many offenses including parking. People who didn’t pay when time to renew have to pay fine and penalty or no renewal. In the big picture it may slow down a lot of offenders. 

One section in Singapore by airport. Two cameras a long length of the runway. So if you think slow down for camera the. Go and slow down again....nope it also calculates how quickly you got to the other end

Thanks Ubonjoe

You will have to apply for a new extension and will have to have the income affidavit from the embassy to do it.

I just checked and there are appointments available for Monday morning to get the affidavit.

Check here and make an appointment. https://evisaforms.state.gov/acs/make_default.asp?pc=BNK&amp;CSRFToken=B27926B301D646708701180D59786E5D

 

 

You could apply on July 3rd if you got it done. You could do it on the 4th and pay a 500 baht overstay fine.

Another option if married to a Thai or the parent of one you could apply for a 60 day extension to visit them.

Hello Ubonjoe,

I searched the forum under your post unfortunately internet is crawling tonight. Searched Udon Thani Immigration and Thavisa link to Visa after 3 hours decided best to ask you. Need a list of documents I will need. 

I have

-New and Old passport

- Letter  from Embassy to transfer stamps to New Passport. 

- Monday will have income affidavit rom consulate.

- Have the house book which wife and I and a few.... other live. 

- What else is needed.? 

- Income affidavit is 1 copy sufficientl? Consulate charges $50 USD each. 

You make our life’s so much easier and it’s appreciated.

Thanks

DJ
