I'm just here for the comments from the alcoholics.

This makes no sense. I have extended my stay based on marriage for the past 5 years always maintaining 400K + in my Bangkok bank account and always received a letter and 3 months transaction transcript as my immigration in Kalasin wants to see the 400K in the account for 3 months which is no big deal. Nothing is clear, but according to stories on this thread, are you telling me that the bank won't issue me the letter because I haven't signed a form allowing them to freeze my funds?...If that's the case it looks like I'll be back at the Thai Consulate in Savannakhet for my yearly O marriage visa.

I take a taxi to the bus station from the BTS as it's always between 50-60 bhat, even in rush hour.

Mazal, welcome to the club. Just walk into any pharmacy and ask for Zithromax.

Not sure if the OP is a new driver in Thailand but that's how people drive here. They cut you off, don't signal. drive in the shoulder emergency lane, etc. etc...you need to have tougher skin. You could have easily honked at a Thai driver which we all know can get easily offended at the slightest tap of a horn and it couldn't have gotten a lot worse for you as I been driving in Thailand for 20 years and seen all kind of crazy rad rage which could have easily been avoided.

What Propaganda?

About 400,000 Cambodians working in Thailand....More than 30,000 workers from Sri Lanka have already registered and 10,000 will be sent to Thailand.......Man, the Thai labor department must be working overtime to issue so many work permits.

Your post is nonsense, A typical Issan farmer who can barley make 8,000 bht a month has an opportunity to make over 60,000 bht per month in a foreign country as for many Thais, money comes first before safety.

Pattaya is still and will always be Disney land for men where the rides are open 24 hours and don't require any minimum height requirement.

Not the sharpest criminals among some of these Thais. What did she expect would happen by establishing fake companies for money laundering?. While it's one thing to create fake companies in a foreign country where you don't live and don't intend to go back to, doing it right in your own backyard is simply foolish.

How is it a scam if their telling you upfront what the additional 7-11 fee is?. Either pay it or take the bus.

They didn't break it by much, lol. Doesn't matter if they broke it by launching 1 or 100 missiles as fact there was a ceasefire and Iran broke it and had gaul to say it wasn't them. Yes, Israel overreacted and simply could have just bitten their tongue over 1 missile., but it would have got a lot worse for Iran is Trump didn't intervene by telling Bibi to pull back.

There was a ceasefire and Iran broke it and Israel lightly retaliated and if Trumped haven't intervened by telling Bibi to ease back Iran would have got another whoppen today. As of now, it's all quite on the home front but who knows for how long as no one can trust Iran.

There were in the morning in the north where is where the 2 missiles were launched. Hopefully it stays quite.

Wrong, I'm actually boots on the ground in Israel as the air force here carried out a small strike north of Tehran a short while ago after Iran broke the ceasefire by launching 2 missiles. Iran just like Hamas, Hezbollah and the Houthis don't want peace with Israel and will keep getting battered into oblivion if thy keep it up.

You only need 3 month bank transaction statement, not 6 months.

I'm currently boots on the ground in Israel visiting family while waiting for the airport to open so I can go back to Thailand. All I can say it's pretty surreal hear at the moment with missiles raining down every day. Iran on the second hand is getting a beating like they have never imagined as the damage Israel has done to them in 1 week took Russia 3.5 years to do in Ukraine. Army is saying here that it will take them another 1-2 weeks to accomplish their goals and end this war which in that time there will be nothing left of Iran.

Plenty of big healthy dairy cows in Chock Chai farms just outside Bangkok.

Thai soldiers are just like the LAPD, always trigger happy as just ask the Red shirts. But if a boarder war was ever to break out, my money will be on Cambodia as their army has been fighting since the Vietnam war. Can't say much about the Thai army.

I'm not surprised as when a country like the Philippines and their catholic church frowns on any type of contraceptive and lacks education on STD's, this is the results you get.

The bank wants to see that you have a Non O visa or extension of stay based on marriage to a Thai in your passport which is not a tourist visa even if your married. I'm on an extension of stay plus Bangkok bank made me get a certificate of residence from my embassy before they opened my account.

There will always be mixed reactions from people of the Big city as I been living in Bangkok for the past 4 years and it has it's pros in cons, just like in city/town/village in Thailand.

Ordering at restaurants and getting your main course first and then when your finished you receive your appetizers.

My son is 18 and I would never let him ride a motorbike in Thailand. Call me over protective, but after witnessing several teenage motorbike deaths, going to their funerals and seeing the grief and pain on the parents, some of you will understand why.

Great news as it looks there will be new episodes of Banged up abroad in the near future.
