Keep up the good work. I enjoyed reading that. Don't let the bastards get you down.

Thanks. My bad then. I definitely have read previously that there was. Perhaps the times they are a changing. Chiang Mai has an interesting system where expedited residency certificates are available from the visa company across the road from the immigration office for 500 baht.

Thanks. I have used my work permit maybe once or twice every couple years when buying a motorcycle or car and the driver's license of course. The two week wait is a little annoying, but of course that's the idea to encourage payment for a quicker service.

Interesting tone to your response. I agree, it's hardly a serious issue. But it is more than a little bit of a needless pain in the ass. No need to respond as I'm not an internet warrior looking for a fight. Just a normal person looking for an alternative to going to the immigration office.

If anyone does know of a Bangkok agency providing the service, please tell me the company name. Thanks.

Well, after 18 years on the same work permit with my address in it, the labor office decided there was no room for new stamps and issued me a new book. I understand that with no address in it, it can't be used for license renewal or anything else requiring a certificate of residence (TM16)and I must now engage in the residency certificate scam perpetrated upon us. My question, and I live in Bangkok, is do I have to drag my weary elderly ass to Chaengwattana Immigration for the damned thing everytime I need one or are there agents who can do it for me?

I always find it amusing and ironic that my country, the self-proclaimed greatest country on the face of the earth, can't figure out how to properly clean their asses.

There sure is a lot of sparked outrage in the Kingdom these days.

Why are you even considering this? It is absurd.

Not to mention the scam where policemen (fake ones, I am sure) in a certain part of town view tourists as prey to extort money from.

As a manly man, I pull each hair out with World War 2 trench tweezers and then slap on some vintage rubbing alcohol for a brisk start to a day of manly activities.

His brand is righteous indignation and the older he gets the deeper he stoops to find it.

Thanks! It is good to know that people on both sides of the political spectrum can find points of agreement. Crazies should never take over a political party.

Has anyone researched the least expensive providers of Rybelsus, Ozempic or other alternative semaglutides in Thailand? I also wonder if any are available significicantly less expensive in surrounding countries or India than they are here?

Does anyone know of a physical shop selling a wide selection of art posters? Framed and unframed would be great! I can't find anything.

It will be interesting to see if Grab decides, with Foodpanda gone, that the expat/tourist market is large enough to make an investment in English speaking employees to serve that niche market with something other than unedited machine translations.

The last day for Foodpanda is 23 May. I use either Foodpanda or Grab every day. Sucks that the most English/foreigner friendly one is closing. I hope Grab can up their game. Foodpanda was problematic when an error happened and they got rid of human help a while ago, but it usually worked just fine.

They work. Usually for a good while, maybe not lifetime though. Download and then log in as instructed with the activation code. I think I paid 200 baht or so on Lazada. I guess it was an organizational account. Look for one with good ratings.

WTF!!!

Things may have changed since Trump cut the budgets but I applied about 8 months ago through Manila and it was all done online through the social security portal. It did take a couple of months before approval through Manila and then another couple of months for a telephone call appointment. However it all went smoothly. I never had to provide any paperwork or ID verification. When it was finally approved I received all the back months from the date that I asked for it to be started. During the phone interview they asked me for my bank account information and I chose to have it deposited into my us account.

My bad. Thank you for straightening me out Liverpool Lou.

Note that they imply they are referring to the BTS system with a picture but no mention of BTS in the article.

I was happy with my TCL and would have bought another if this one can't be fixed. However, I am discovering it is seemingly impossible to schedule a service call with TCL and the Google review for TCL service are amazingly bad. tcl electronics (thailand) co.,ltd reviews https://g.co/kgs/kApchnQ I wonder what their story is with the terrible after sales service. All they can say to me when I call is that somone will call me back, but no one does.

Bah. Humbug! It sits mockingly 60% up the page on the right, day in day out, on my PC.
