  1. There is no problem. People are exercising personal choice. I view it as a positive.
  2. Whilst it was not listed, the other cartridge for the printer, the black cartridge was listed. And the good news was, that was half the price. So, perhaps I will persevere with these cartridges for a while.
  3. I consider it a compromise offered by the Government. You can stay here on a rolling temporary basis with a relatively low bar, very low bar once you factor in agents circumventing the financial requirements. or You can gain permanent residence and/or citizenship (depending on your family circumstances) but the bar is high and you are going to have to make a real effort to attain that. I am sure lots of others are going to say this but it would have been better if my country, the UK, had adopted this stance. In answer to the OP's question, I would have applied for Permanent Residence at the earliest possible juncture when I had a work permit with the benefit of hindsight.
  4. 600 Baht for one CL57 cartridge. I don't use the printer that much. Maybe 10 sheets per week. It can vary. I am guessing the tank is difficult to transport and can be messy particularly if you are a bit clumsy like me. I just figured it was easier to buy 2 or 3 or 4 cartridges a year but 600 Baht per time seems over the top. Perhaps the tank is the way to go.
  5. Okay, I am 80% wrong. Most of Third Road falls in Nong Prue and about 40% of Third Road Soi 3 falls into Nong Prue. Thanks.
  6. Absolutely. Thailand must be one of the most CCTV covered countries in the world. He might as well have left a confession note along with his passport. It did occur to me he might have been very drunk, not that that is any excuse.
  7. Certain SIM's are only available if you are a Thai national or "hold a work permit" (standard line from DTAC/True/AIS customer services officer). So, the foreigner has a SIM in a trusted Thai friend's / partner's name for convenience. You could have asked politely but instead you asked in a condescending interrogative manner as ever. Could you tone it down?
  8. 55-years-old is an unusual age for this kind of stuff to be happening. I would love to know this guy's history. I don't believe his two different stories for a moment, even more so, when he has an ongoing insurance claim.
  9. These are the same pictures as the guy from 2 weeks who claimed to have been arrested for "a few days overstay". His story is full of holes.
  10. @thaibeachlovers As Trump ensured there was not a single U.S. witness at his 2-hour meeting with Putin, not even his own translator, there is no official record. That alone is very solid evidence that Trump is owned by Putin. He is a traitor to the American people, a puppet, eager to do his master's bidding.
  11. I have heard from somebody that worked with the Tourist Police, that once a farang is arrested for something not trivial, the police will go to their room to retrieve their passport and once in the room they may steal their cash, valuables, etc. This is apparently more likely if the foreigner has angered the police. Just salacious gossip or truth, who knows?
  12. Highly risk-averse or highly efficient compliance department. You only have to look to Western nations to see how massive an issue regulatory compliance is for the banks. It is now coming to Thailand.
  13. "Russia, if you're listening..." The 2-hour unprecedented, unattended meeting with Putin in Helsinki. The money trail from Russia to Deutsche Bank to Trump when no other bank would touch him. The 2013 Miss Universe pageant in Moscow when Putin "became his best friend". (Trump's words) The evidence is incontravertible.
  14. I know that virtually every town has a street called Chaloem Phrakiat and also that it is the name of Third Road. However, Nong Prue does not cover Third Road. So, is there another Chaloem Phrakiat on the dark side where this robbery may have occurred? Or is this Soi 3 of Third Road which is not in Nong Prue?
  15. More smoke and mirrors to focus media attention away from what is really happening. Trump is owned by Putin.
  16. The last known location. https://maps.app.goo.gl/Z6qqhTVPiM3AKfcj6 He said he was going to a bar to meet some friends and then phoned the 'partner' at 11pm GMT (6am Thai Time). She missed the call as it was late.
  17. Pattaya Kitchenware, Central Road, next to Foodland
  18. What does Sharia Law say about this?
  19. And you respectfully sound exactly like my group defined in "i)" 😀 Touché
  20. Do you have a 1-year extension of permission to stay? And more importantly, do you have a re-entry permit?
  21. @kwilco Completely wrong audience. You are trying to present a viewpoint in a manner that is tending towards an academic style i) on a forum in which the vast majority of posters have no notion of the subject (road safety management) but are unaware of their ignorance and think they know a great deal about it (because they can drive) ii) the majority of posts in all topics are superficial or humorous (i.e. not considered or academic) I suggest you take your ideas and present them on a road safety management forum where you will interact with like-minded people. If you continue here, you will become exasperated.
  22. If they are coming from China to Thailand, they would need to cross two land borders or take a boat. North Koreans?
  23. Is Foodpanda just Pattaya or all over Thailand?
  24. Too much to drink --> A bout of depression --> Stops communicating. Common behavioural pattern.
