  1. They are not even using both application windows as designed, it is just one person who seems to need and do all time consuming work. If they actual had 2 windows they could proces easily 80-100 people between 09:00 and 10:30 alone compared to the super slow and busy day I experienced. Would be much better if they also had the appointment system, then they can also limit the amounts of specific visa types on a daily basis. But TIT.
  2. Disagree, they treat people like animals and they did hassle my friend, who had no tourist visa abuse history and all paperwork / proof. They seemed to allow over 10-15 people in front of us, who looked like homeless eastern europeans, behaved very bad too, were loud, who came via a agent and all were accepted. But my friend was refused, he attempted the next day again as well, with his actual detailed travel plans, as that all was they had to bring as an argument (even hotels booked/paid, flight back europe booked/paid, money proof), but refused again. Question is also in those terms what they now consider to be a 'tourist', I met plenty of people who would always come to Chiang Mai for 3-5 months a year, not work, but be static. This as my friend is similar, he booked the same place 2 months. Consulate guy didn't like that it seems. Same after all the years, still not a single improvement on providing some shade for waiting people. Or to actually use the seats with a simple queue system, could be realised in a day time and the guard can hand out printed numbers equal to the seats available. Keep the rest out the gate. But yes, for non-o people it all seems hassle free somehow. Personally I would rather go to Vientiene or Hanoi on appointment. But guess it makes sense for those living in isaan.
  3. You are not offered to buy stalls at all, you are offered to pay key money on them and take over paying the rent for it. Whatever you then decide to do with them, or sell at them, nobody cares. If you want to work yourself, work means work permit. Otherwise be a business owner and have staff, simple as that isn't it. Obviously smart to have in a girlfriend name too, then she can run.
  4. Yeah except you are not him and if your opinions and views were any good you been loaded.
  5. Obviously, but that is for any place. In Bangkok you can also go to Thai gogo's and still have tons of fun with just 1-1.5K baht. It is a remote place, the middle of nowhere. Just as much as khon kaen is boring, yeah I am aware of it's size and population.
  6. So noting happened in like 22 years, these ranking lists are always nonsense.
  7. Plenty of the motorbike accidents do not even involve police, so there would not be statistics. As said, TAT. quality at best.
  8. You can easily help out on the background, but do zero in the front, unless you are living in Phangan, you can do anything there.
  9. Maybe ask TAT, they are the leader of statistics in Thailand. There used to be farangdeaths.com but it's offline now, would not be reliable data too. So the short answer is nowhere.
  10. Damn, I always fear this as it also happened at some malls before right. Always make sure to pay attention and take a big step over the end.
  11. Arrange girls upfront via dating site and take them out, I guess, is usually best in remote places.
  12. Another nonsense news article as the woman was never dead. Most Thais also believe I have magic skills as I can do a few tricks and know what to say.
  13. 14 is like a bad age to divorce if you ask me, he is in puberty too, feel sorry for him. He obviously wants to be with his sister and mother too, why can't he live with you or her, while still visiting weekends etc. If this happens now in puberty, even you wish best for him with education, he might just not give a Sht and ruin it regardless.
  14. I have done my visa for a non-o single entry visa based on a child, see all highlights below: Experience itself and details: Extremely busy it seems as reported earlier, I think even on tuesday or wednesday this is similar. Tuk tuk / fixers offer to cut you in front of the entire queue for 500 baht, I did this and yet it still took over 2 hours, to process just 35 people or so. My application itself was in under 30 seconds, no questions asked, number given and collected the next day. Many tourist visa applications were refused, including a friend who was travelling with me, this while he never had a tourist visa this year before, german, 100K euro in bank, ticket, hotel booked. Laos visa rip off now 1800 baht cash + 100 baht on departure. It is worth it to change it into USD I think. Documents used for this application: Original passport + copy of passport page, signed. Copy ID Thai mother / girlfriend, signed. Copy birth certificate, signed + original to show on application. Copy house book registration both my son and mother / girlfriend, signed. Application form with 2 pictures + 2000 baht To conclude: for non-o visa it is still a hassle free place, bring a umbrella for both sun and rain, as well consider paying the 500 to cut in front, well worth it.
  15. With the example you give I could answer you easily. You annoy the mask behavior while that person might be simply uneducated, or knows if he gets sick he is bankrupt. I feel sorry for people in these kind of experiences, instead of angry or negative. At the end education here isn’t great and many barely know the world outside thailand, or even more than their own village and province. I just purposely remind myself in those moments I am lucky.
  16. CM to BKK domestic, the flight and airline abroad is international, so BKK in this case. Would only be different if the flight was originally starting here but with a scheduled stop over.
  17. Have to activate it for online one time (or increase the default 5k limit) only.
  18. Not sure sure as of corruption, could end up costing the same aside of the local one providing jobs and taxes here. Production cost would go down too.
  19. Yeah it is also a verifiable fact that weed isnt one and yet illegal in many countries, while alcohol is not. This again is nothing but BS to discuss, each person is different. Stop trying to make it sound like you are special or know better, you clearly dont.
  20. 720k for a thai is like 7.2M baht for a foreigner, how big are you when taking the latter figures to hand out for fun?
  21. Only? There are foreign teachers and retirees living on 40k. 31.5k after car fees should been plenty to pay rent and eat, could easily set 10-15k aside. Its also common the wife handles money and savings, so would not be surprised they had an agreement.
  22. I thought some women here made such vehicles in Thailand but the army didnt want them, i guess for the same reason. Easier to buy abroad and get a kickback in an offshore overseas account.
  23. Sounds good to me, those ngo stuff in cambodia is nothing but crap. Same i met one of those flying doctors who also owned a girl bar in PP. Or the dozens of arrogant rich western girls, pretending to do good while taking a 2000$ salary.
