Part II As I finished my extension at 1140, or Two hours and 20 minutes after I arrived for my scheduled appointment. Exhausted I left, no attempt made to get a multi reentry visa, A week later. Submitting the documents at the check in window, then made to get a TM 30 copy. A new hoop jump. That done, over to the re entry window. Only 4 people waiting. However after servicing two they shut the window and called no one for a solid hour. I was done in little over an hour and a half. However, a panicked older Austrian couple had been there and not called to submit documents, for an hour. They had a flight out early afternoon. We advised them to give it ten more minutes then leave, you can get a re entry at the airport. A real mix between a squirrel cage & ---- show. All in all, this ranks up as one of the worst experiences at immigration since 2019 and the dawn patrol days. As I get older I have less tolerance for this -deleted-. I also have more money, as investments vest. A couple more times like this and I will hire an agent, hang out at Airport Starbucks until I get the call.

Clarity, what a concept. Reading the OP three times, I still not sure I am following the hoop jumps, backward hoop jumps, sideways hoop jumps while balancing on one foot. However, after all that I do feel positive no one in a position of authority was responsible for this unfortunate event, in reality, more a misunderstanding. Isn't that what it is all about?

On the other hand. I just checked my passport. November 15th 2022. I had a 930 appointment. I was there 15 minutes ahead of time, had my papers checked, given a ticket, and sent over to my area. At 925 I looked at the flat screen que display and noticed there were 24 people ahead of me. No idea what was going on between 830 and 930, but I guess, absolutely nothing. They took their time too, until 1030. I was not called until after 11 and 1130 before I got out. Two hours plus. Basically, the same as it has always been. Lucky, I had brought my e book and tunes, despite all the great stories of how fast it the new reservation system is. Maybe this year. At least I can dream, can't I? I keep thinking about agents BTW.

Great to see all these posts about the US. Not that this news article has a thing to do with the USA, but lets face it, who really cares what happens in Thailand, anyway.

From what I am reading (always suspect) it is economic issues in China not political instability in Thailand, that slowed the expected china tourist wave. The future appears none to good. From dreams of world domination three years back, pre wuhan flu, to real concerns about employment & the grain harvests in flooded provinces in the north.

If you have ever watched Pence give a speech, or answer questions, he is a serial deflector. He is only answering now because he has to. In any other situation he would give any answer imaginable, except an answer to the question asked. A remarkable spinner of outrageous steer excrement. He is what the better half of the Republican party in the US has become, the other half are far worse.

Yep it is that price, if you are getting it for 20 - 30 then yes way over priced. . https://www.cmmediclinic.com/ This clinic near a pool I use. A member of our morning S&G (swim & gym) squad is using it. She swears by it and yep you can see the results.

Why not just buy it in Thailand? Likely far cheaper unless you are getting it per medical insurance.. A clinic I use in CM has it for sale and yes, it is the real product. If they have it here, sure you could find it in Bangkok or Pattaya.

Southern California has the largest Thai population in the world outside of Thailand. Both Steel & Peters congressional districts represent a good portion of that Thai-American population. Given the state or non-state of US Thai relations, it is needed. Too wait for a better moment, could mean waiting for decades.

Foreign, ‘Kuwaiti’ mafia with guns Kuwaiti cycle gangs Foreign bike gangs Transwomen beach attack gangs Pattaya; A paradise by the sea, for the discerning Quality Tourist.

Kuwaiti Cycle Gangs included?! No, I guess I knew that was the answer.

You might learn something about Thailand, and thai smiles, before including it in your hackneyed cultural platitudes.

The Europeon Recovery Program commonly called the Marshall Plan passed by congress in 1948, would end up costing more than 12 billion dollars in US taxpayer money. That BTW was one of the main arguments against it used by the Taft led Republican party who opposed Trumans program.

The military opened fire on the red shirts, killing scores. If you were being shot, killed and no way to fight back, what would you do? A fact then, a fact now. The T mans real crime, if an expat, was unleashing the genie of populist nationalism. Blaming western banks, read 'Farangs', for deliberately causing the 97 economic collapse. BTW all parties; red, yellow, or green, believe that now, it is become part of Thai populist history, as Thais can never be blamed for such things. Time to stock up on Booze & Bud. The T man just might have an act II.

Really. Where at in Vegas are they requiring ID checks to determine if you are foreign?

Fake OP. Fake News has always been endemic to Thailand.

Yuck. Out of the movies and into real life.

He is not coming, he never was coming, but it does keep the pressure on ganggreen with what ifs. This time, as they dismantle latest election results. Assume the 6 day holiday is as much to get their minions in lock step installing one of their own as PM, while playing benevolent overlords. As usual the T man is pretty clued in to the games they play.

Medical expenses + trauma is getting off light. Time to quit coddling accessories to violent crime.. If the pet is criminal, the owners are too. Jail Time, plus damages.

Did not check the brand or look closely, I was buying meji yoghurt & meji protein whey drink at Rimping Nim City today. However there were cartons/plastic bottles of milk there, likely fewer than normal.

No, vets are not beng recalled for deployment. Time to get back on RT network and find some other fake news to throw up against the wall in hopes of it sticking. Good luck.

Just turn up at the airport, you will be ok. Oh wait!

Likely the family or the kid will be blamed for going to Koh Tao in the first place. However excellent chance he did not know any better. That is what massaging the media to protect tourism will do, people just do not know.

The US does not have hate speech laws. BTW I notice that my nose hairs need to be trimmed, lucky for me have my FOX news nose hair trimmer handy.

Biden would have been far better. It takes a remarkable blowhard of a fool, to ignore US scientists and state department intel (about Wuhan), and buy into China's happy propaganda during the first months of the Wuhan virus. He did that, while claiming it would all go away once summer came. After it did not just 'go away', he used it to divide the nation. Instead of pulling people together he set them at loggerheads and encouraged a fight; culture wars. You have to go back to Warren G Harding to find someone as inept & incompetent. At least that old geezer died while in office.
