Fear not white man, President Trump will save the white race.

Having seen the standard of Thai motorcycle riding I don't blame the Monkey for going ape s**t.

The sleeping train was uncomfortable as the train was rocking all the time.

Long time since I used the train, but by the sound of the above post, the rails are still as bent as a banana. As a result, max speed used to be around 50 mph, so it took forever.

When will we see a All New Isuzu model?

Never... if I'm lucky.

Isuzu has the most noisy rough polluting diesel engine on the market.

Bolsonaro is a nobody who happened to become President.

There seem to be quite a of of these about. Indeed the qualifications for becoming a world leader are astonishingly low. Except Thailand of course, which is known for all things 'world class'.

Thanks DaRoadRunner for the reply. I used their services 10 years ago, but the system has changed since then. Did you make any errors that needed correcting??

 

I think my concern is about my pictures. The first ones I had done at at my local Kodak shop, looked like they had been Photoshopped, as my wrinkles were missing.

 

The  photos, from another Kodak studio, have my face size just over the limit specified (34 mm).

 

Maybe I am worrying too much, it would be good if I could take new photos if necessary though.

They did measure my photos so check your dimensions.

"Did you make any errors that needed correcting??"... Yeah, the day I set my big foot in this Asian version of the Mad Hatters Tea Party.

I have used their service, the embassy offloaded their work to the guys at Trendy who did not seem too bothered. Friendly and helpful. They posted my old passport back to the UK and I had to return to Trendy to collect the new one at an appointed time.

I asked for the old passport to be returned so I could show both to Immigration and get the visa transferred to the new passport.

As a precaution, photo copy old passport main page and visa page in case you don't get it back.

Avoid law firms, shysters charge too much and often give bad service. An accountant can do it for you and they are generally much nicer to deal with.

Have an accountant declare it dormant, then no need to do final audit.

If you wish to close completely you will have to do final audit, pick a small accountant, not one of the big expensive firms.

They will now be used for TM30 compliance.

Don't give them ideas.

When it snowed, I used to have fun drifting the car.

What would these people do if they had to cope with snow? The brain boggles at the thought.

Er... exactly how long overstay are we talking about here?

Sex Monk gets a visit from immigration about reporting his address....

Short time hotel refused to do his TM30.

That was more information than I needed to know

Oddball?.... Nah. The time to worry is when you have been here so long you think this looney place is normal.

Thais love noise. They seem to have a problem if it is too quiet.

Has anyone ever figured out why?

Seems like the project's owner was less than truthful and forthcoming when declaring plans to the municipality.

More likely he failed to use the correct application paper.... aka that folding stuff with a picture of His Majesty on it.
