All that smiling seems kind of creepy in the context of the news story. I hope she can raise the money to get back home. About her illness, what is the typical prognosis? Is the paralysis usually permanent? 

Go to www.gov.au.  Stat decs in Thailand about a persons income mean nothing, they are invalid, also, confirmed by Oz Consul Phuket. Cleverman does not make false statements or mistakes. 

Surely your buddy the ambassador could explain it to you?

Stat decs are NOT ' Illegal' as your post clearly stated

 
Yes to fried bread.
 
When i was a kid my mum kept a lard tin, all the drippings and left over small bits from roasting different types of meat and vegetables.
 
Often my dad would say 'I'm making some fried bread do you want some?' And of course it was cooked in the stuff from the lard tin.
 
Totally delicious, so simple and easy and quick. 
 
 

Actually uly I was thinking more about my toaster grew legs comments and the guys who microwave the food. 

I watch some you tube channels on snow camping. Same ingredients but over a fire on a skillet. Place ham and cheese {not shredded} on thick cut bread sandwich and then cook both sides until brown and cheese melted

Cook egg and open sandwich and stick it in. Perfect cold weather food. I'm toying with turning the air con on coldest here, just for effect

I think the one that is wrong is you. 39% is hardly a convincing figure, it means 61% do not like him to return. The real figure will most likely be even more devastating for the dictator

Interesting there is a turbo version and even super charged version of the piper cub

And Thailand is in the grip of a military junta where the people have no rights at all.

Can't see the difference really, China and Vietnam appeared perfectly open and free to me, compared quite well to the tyrannical gynocracy that is the UK for freedom IMHO. Just different things you aren't allowed to do, I prefer the restrictions in Thailand/China/Vietnam to the restrictions in the UK.

It's relocated to the trendy complex soi 13 next door to a the British sports pub and doing a roaring trade 

Friday night pig on the spit set menu hard to get a seat 

And it's called the old German beer house not garden 

So, what's up with all the posters proclaiming tourism in Thailand is dead?
 
It's not dead. Bangkok is crazy. This place will never stop, even if baht goes to ten bucks a pound.

The poll is accurate. What we are witnessing on this thread is the backtracking of posters who only now realize they complety misread the thai public. 4 years of wasted posts

Can a farang lose face? Apparently so because now they are crying rigged elections BEFORE they even start rather than admit they got it wrong... Face saved

Thanks guys. I wasn't aware of that 6-month validity on the stat dec. I'll just get to the Embassy before the 7th and take my chances end of March. My immigration lawyer once told me that the stat dec was only good for 7 days, so I guess he was wrong or something changed. I appreciate your help.

Pretty strong statement that needs a little tempering. I usually get on at Onnut and can attest to having to wait 3-5 trains many times. The new extension has added an amazing amount of riders.

Could someone kindly tell me the cutoff date for using the Australian income stat dec with a retirement visa renewal at Immigration? I've inconveniently forgotten, and should probably try to get in under the wire myself if I can pull it forward from late March when it's due. Cheers lads.

Horn honking is chronic noise pollution that eventually starts to wear you down

The street hawkers are absolutely relentless and unlike thailand they won't go away. I like to sit near the footpath in resteraunts and bars but ended up sitting further inside to get away from them. A 100 times worst than thailand and even worse than Cambodia

 I am torn between Vietnam and the Philippines as my new residence in 2019 Why  well the simple truth is unlike many of the posters on Thai Visa i am not flush with Funds. In fact combining my super and old age pension I still wont make the required 65,000 Baht PCM even less so the option of 800.000.00 in the bank method. and on top of it all the proposed Health insurance is not an option on medical grounds. so flamers what next Philippines with its costs and Visa run arounds seem my best option happy new year 
 

I see where your confusion lays. Civil war is a war between citizens of the same country. Bangkok burning was a aftermath of military brutality. There were no fighting between citizens. 
 

Everything shut in Chiang mai after 1201 am tonight
Something seriously lost in translation with this fake news article

Oh come on. Civil war! Now your 'big joke'. The only reason for all the unrest was so the b.i.g could legimately removed big T and stop his manipulation of little K.

*Sensitive subject so have to talk in riddules.

All those who've been in Los for a while know the score. Obviously you don't.

A soft coup ? Maybe in your little dream world. Maybe asked the thousands of people that have been brought in for a "attitude adjustment" or the people that got in trouble for liking facebook posts. Maybe you shouldn't make any predictions on those elections, as you quite clearly show you have absolutely no idea what is happening inside of Thailand, nor do you have any idea how Thai people might feel about the matter. 
 
The previous coup not only was much softer, they actually returned democracy to Thailand within about 14 months, instead of over four years, without the blatant restrictions on liberties that many people the world over take for granted. 
 
Do not make the mistake to project how Thai people might feel on your own small world. I know Thais from all over the country, even very dedicated Thaksin haters, and even they will not vote Prayuth in, because of his actions. If such people feel let down by him, what do you think will happen to the people that never supported him? The 20 people that you know do not represent the rest of Thailand. And the actions of Prayuth clearly indicates he is very doubtful about that landslide. 
 
The only way he can become PM is by  cheating, and that's what he is busy doing. Just a few people refuse to see it. 
 
As to his achievements, there is ample evidence, that he managed to be much worse than previous administrations. No wonder Thailand's reserves are depleted. He has shown to be the same as all those military regimes the world over, Utter incompetent and decrimental to the economy, 
 
under his regime, the difference between rich and poor have skyrocketed, so has inflation. People are economically worse off than five years ago, and that is exactly why he will not win by a landslide, unless of course he cheats. 

 
That’s the spirit......look on the bright side.

As far as crowds, The choke point is after the fireworks near mixx disco, when alot of people go back towards walking street and there are still people coming from walking street towards the pier.
 
I got stuck in a huge crush there 2 years ago and actually started panicking. It got so bad I pushed out sideways and waited about 30 minutes for it to calm down
