Bert got kinky

The main reason that it took so long was because they would not allow him to start the process for the 30 day extension until he could show a screenshot of his online TM30 application and as he was a guest in my wife's house, the application and approval was made on her phone.

What's the use of having an online system if they are not able to check the system?

Samutprakarn and they effed him about rotten yesterday, took him from 9am until 3pm just to get his 30 day extension.

Thank you Dr. J.

I will pass this information on to my friend.

I currently have a friend visiting, who arrived on a 3 month visa (2 months with a 30 day extension).

He has just activated the 30 day extension, which allows him to stay until 6th April.

However, he wants to stay for another month after this runs out.

What options does he have?

Thai TV hardly covered the Olympics - what else will we miss?

Hopefully the Summer Olympics.

From the headline 'no charges yet'.

I would be more worried about the hospital charges.

Alternatively send it to me for proper disposal if you don't have the stones to do it yourself.

Stones not needed, just a decent lighter.

i rarely drink - so when i clocked san mig's "zero" i thought i'd give it a go - bought 2 bottles of it .... was a tad expensive - i thought the taste was pretty spot on .... i drank the 2 bottles and felt a bit drunk - was then i looked at the bottles to see "3%" on the label - how can they call it "Zero"  ? - tried the Heineken 0 - taste similar to the san mig zero, but deffo no drunk feeling after ....

I stopped drinking around 4 years ago, so for the new year (muted) celebrations I tried to get my usual Heineken 0.0.

Being able to hold a bottle and chat with my mates makes me feel a sense of belonging to the crowd, the bottle is a great prop.

While shopping for Heineken 0.0 I could only find cans and they don't give off the same vibe and the substitute beer actually starts to taste like a substitute beer.

However, I did spot San Mig's Zero beer and a quick scan of the label and the very oversized lettering of 'ZERO' told me that it would be ok for a non drinker.

On New Year's Eve I fired up the BBQ and opened a bottle.

Like I said, it tasted putrid, so I palmed it off on one of my relatives.

The relative returned to me 10 minutes later, pointing out to me that there was 3% alcohol in the drink and showed me the small print at the bottom of the label.

Unsuspecting non drinkers are part of Sam Mig's target when offloading this 'drink' and I feel that the brewery should be stopped from this underhand marketing.

It boils my pish so much that I'm thinking about writing them a very strongly worded letter.

Well put.  But hopefully, with these messages, he's getting to those who fall for these conspiracy theories.  Every little bit helps.

 

P.S. I'm hard core atheist. Having been to almost 130 countries around the world, I've seen the damage religion does.  Or actions taken in the name of religion.

Religion is the opiate of the masses.

If you want alcohol free beer Heineken 0.0 is the best available in Thailand (bottles taste better than cans).

Don't fall for San Miguel's Zero beer, it tastes putrid, it definitely isn't beer but it does have alcohol 3% alcohol. ????

If your friend is in Pattaya there's no point going until the day before his current extension expires, as they will just tell him to come back if he tries to do it before then.

He's in Samutprakarn, with regular visits to Pattaya. ????

Thank you Joe, as dependable as ever.

I have a friend over on a 60 day tourist visa and he intends to activate the 30 day extension.

Could someone please clarify when he should apply for the extension (he's only been here for 2 weeks so far).

is there a time window?
