That's good news actually, so the other half haven't lost their minds!

An interesting way to give a complete disaster a positive spin.

They are threatening to close everything, not just the extension. 

But if there's any pravda in what you say, people who are NOT living in the "ghettoes" you've listed will be affected, too.

I think the term commonly used for what you have in mind is "secured credit card". It's s proper credit card and behaves as such, just backed by collateral in a fixed deposit account with the card issuing bank.

A prepaid card, on the other hand, is a special kind of debit card and cannot be used where only credit cards are accepted.

They're right, obviously, but I think there's a "fat" chance of that happening!

Ridiculous. One more reason to use Grab, with or without luggage.

Rudy clearly has no evidence whatsoever, and no chance to win any of these frivolous court cases he's been filing left, right and center.

He's just milking the Trump campaign for whatever legal fees they're still good for. Good for him.

I am very Concerned about spending 50k baht on ASQ and having my application rejected on a technicality as I don't have 12k in the bank for 6 MONTHS I can show for the Last Month only

That's not a mere technicality, as you currently don't meet one of the published requirements. I agree with your conclusion though, it makes no sense for you to apply only to get rejected.

Hi guys in sissakett today. Filled in the affidavit and tm forms paid the 1900 baht and out in 15 min with stamp until jan 29. It just seems that different io are different.i have only been too sissaket 4 times but each time no problems at all and actually friendly and helpful not like some io i cud mention

You mean they gave you the actual extension right away, not an under consideration stamp first? If so, that sounds very unusual.

Smothered by the PRC.

For whatever reason you're doing it - I applaud you, from a safe distance that is. I'll get vaccinated once the potential candidates have been tried on enough willing crash test dummies such as yourself, thank you very much.

Less is more... let's wait for the final numbers, who knows at this point!

Maybe someone should tell those Thais who are despaired and living on handouts in places like Pattaya and Phuket that there's a labor shortage. ????

What a farce. A recount in Georgia might make sense because it's relatively narrow, but Michigan? It's clear for everyone to see that nothing will change there. Just another silly attempt to delay the inevitable. An embarrassment, indeed.

Teachers in my home country cannot afford to dine out at the best restaurant in town once per week. Why would a foreign teacher in Thailand expect to be able to do that? Sure, there are some who can, but most cannot, so maybe a more sensible approach would be to compare apples with apples: What kind of lifestyle would those who think about coming to Thailand have in their home country? Different people, different answers - different conclusions regarding the viability of such a move!

I'll enjoy the peace and quiet while it lasts. I've visited Pattaya more often this year alone than in the last five years combined.

Please give Buriram a chance and let there be a Thai GP.  I live in hope

That would be awesome. And after their success with MotoGP, I believe they could actually pull it off.

Conservative judges and justices have been bleating about overreach of the federal government and federal courts for years. Now is their time to prove that they are willing to leave state matters to the states.
