Thai Mother Accused of Killing Son in Wales Appears in Court
JackGats replied to webfact's topic in Thailand News
In the UK women who murder get the pussy pass. In the US they don't, not any longer. -
Is Erin Isabelle Burnett the sexiest woman alive today?
JackGats replied to GammaGlobulin's topic in ASEAN NOW Community Pub
Sexiest? Please provide: body size, waist-to-hip ratio, shoulder width, chest size. Where's the hot booty? Where are the flared hips? -
Expats angry at huge concessions in latest Thai visa announcements
JackGats replied to webfact's topic in Thailand News
Has nothing to do with the visa type. It's whether you stay over 180 days in TH per calendar year. You can stay less than 180 days per year on a retirement visa as well. -
If you have been years without removing it, use olive oil or special oil from a pharmacy to soften the impacted wax for 10 days on end before going to the ent. Otherwise the removal may not be altogether painless.

Thailand faces escalating heart and cardiovascular disease crisis
JackGats replied to CharlieH's topic in Health and Medicine
Not being able (nor willing) to walk or cycle anywhere, spending your day with your ass on a motorbike, eating food based on refined sugar, using beaches as rubbish tips selfie backdrop while never even learning to swim .... Thailand's oppressive climate is bound to make anyone naturally lazy. To relieve such laziness the least one would need is roads with pedestrian pavements, crosswalks with drastic enforcement, bicycle paths, beaches kept clean for swimming. -
Vietnamese tour guide reveals more on Bangkok hotel murder-suicide
JackGats replied to webfact's topic in Bangkok News
I have 85k miles expiring soon on Thai Airways. No way to redeem them on flights. I tried the hotel awards. Only hotel available: Hyatt Erawan. Indefinitely unavailable for awards. Aaaargh! -
At this point they want you to be Thailand. They are not interested in your flight, they want you first legally into Thailand. You should first travel to Thailand (on a visa waiver or on your present visa). As soon as you check into your hotel in Thailand, upload a scan of your "permitted to stay" passport stamp as "additional document" as well as your immigration card as the case may be (but I think immigration cards are no longer used). The BIO will then email you to ask in which hotel you are staying, including which room in that hotel. Make sure the hotel declares your arrival to immigration asap. I was invited to pick an appointment on the very same day I sent the info about my hotel in Thailand. They don't send you the appointment, they ask you to pick one from a roster. If I am forgetting something I'm sure some forum member will correct me.

Point (1) and (2) just mean holders of an LTR visa are eligible for an LTR-based tax exemption insofar as they go on fulfilling the conditions of an LTR visa, the corollary being that they lose the exemption if they stop fulfilling said conditions. This sounds like something that was self-evident and hardly needed spelling out. The question now is: "is this all?".

The PM was also foaming at the mouth because of the impact on tourism. I theorize the victims were also foaming at the mouth because of the impact they knew their own deaths would have on tourism. So the foaming must be unrelated to the cause of death and is throwing the investigation on a wrong track. Just my 2 cents.

The first Thai driving license has a validity of two years. Then you can get 5-year extensions. In any case it shouldn't matter as long as your driving license is still valid through the rental (until you return the vehicle). There's no difference between a 2-year Thai driving license and a 5-year Thai driving license, except the expiry date.

I book cars in Europe and my only valid driving license is the Thai driving license. I book with my Thai address. Why would you want to book with any other address? The insurance comes with the rental. If you lie about your residence couldn't this cause problems if you have accident? I never book direct with the rental brand (Hertz, Alamo, Avis etc.). I always book through third-party websites like Autoeurope. On such websites it's usually clear what the insurance covers. You can opt for total waiver etc. Some providers like rentarcars.com have turned me down as a customer because live in Thailand. Message: "sorry but we don't accept customers who live in your country of residence". You should find out whether the Thai driving license on its own (without the international driving permit) is accepted in the US. It most probably is since the Thai driving license is in English. You should print out the page where it says the Thai driving license alone is OK, in order to have something to show to the rental agency and/or to the police.

Kamala Harris Surges as Top Choice to Replace Joe Biden, Poll Reveals

Trump must have a big smile on his face then. Victory assured. -
CT scans use X-rays and should not be had too often, but MRI scans pose no hazard as far as I know.

My Thai sourced income (dividend on Thai stocks) rather complicates the issue as well. I think there's a very low threshold above which we were always expected to file a tax return for Thai sourced income. Since the dividends get taxed at source (withholding tax), most us in the same situation never bothered to file although we were supposed to from the beginning. The fact that some of us receive such Thai sourced income may be the reason the BOI is non committal. The BOI cannot know what Thai sourced income we have. Hence the BOI cannot issue a blanket "no need to file" statement.
