  1. It's a scam. Add them on line app and then reverse check the photo use tineye or Google image it will come up with somebody completely different and working for some large company
  2. So now the financial requirement will be 38k BUT if you are a carer for a disabled person or on any other benefits then you already meet this requirement and dont need to show it. But carers allowance is only around 11k a year with maybe another 5k in other benefits so the maths dont add up. UK man with a disabled child and a thai wife thats 3 mouths to feed and their only income is around 16k, a UK working man with thai wife must earn 38k and only 2 mouths to feed. As for housing shortage you have to prove you have a place to live before they give you a visa so this cant be put forward as an argument, as the NHS I agree with the fees but only if it applied to everyone, as asylum seekers dont pay this they also dont pay Visa fees of 2k and refugees change their status to asylum seekers to avoid it, I worked in housing and there used to be 5% of available housing kept empty for the purpose of giving asylum seekers a place to live and with free rent but that 5% was never enough now they are put in hotels abd given food allowance of £29 a week The uk as gone now
  3. I maybe wrong but isnt closing air space the first thing countries will do in any conflict that could escalate and isnt this the reason why other countries have sent military air to get their own people out ( apart from Thailand that is )
  4. It will depend on which ed Visa you have if its to learn thai they will ask you a few easy questions in thai at the airport. If it's for cooking or something else if you have a letter from the school you should be ok, but they are revising the number of times you are allowed reentry 2 maybe 3 should have no problem
  5. Next taksin will make a go fund me page
  6. I had a shower fitted by homepro, I was out when they did it when I returned they had wired the 9kw shower to the light switch which is only 1mm wire and with no breaker. Even showers here go on their own fuse but not with homepro installing, i never got my installation fee back so after complaining so would never use any installation from them again
  7. Well the only government job for a very poorly old man who as just gone through surgery would be chief accountant in charge of all government assets
  8. If the family had asked for any money from me even a single baht that would have told me what sort of family I was marrying into and to runaway. Lucky they paid for everything and have never asked me for anything. They are very hard working but poor. now 9 years married and before people comment she is a lot younger then me with a very good job so it is her supporting me.
  9. Well I never paid a single baht dowry , the dowry is just for show at the wedding so the family can more or less show off in front of naugbours and if a good family it is returned to the married couple after the wedding to help create a better start in life. And 1 million is way to much this is duel pricing at the extreme normal thai guy would show 200/300k, and that's a lot for a young thai man earning 15k a month

    It's in a Phuket forum
  11. I agree with you but only to some extent, to the bar girls it's just a job that pays well to support family back home and I think given the chance of a let's say office job with same salary they would jump at it, also bar girls make up around 0.00001% of thai women and they not all the same. Get away from the tourist areas and see the differance

    Predictive text or fat fingers dog not dig lol
  13. malthebluff posted a topic in Phuket
    Anybody know what all the tar or thick oil on nah harn beach came from. Ruined my shoes and my wife's and the poor dig needs to get hair cut now
  14. That's a red stamp it means nothing just a warning the black Stamps are the ones to avoid and only get them for long overstay or if go in prison
  15. Easy money for them. I did my tm30 and got 90 day notification even went back a week later to get papers for address notification for driving licence. 90 days later when due again I wasnt in the system and had to do tm30 again
  16. They dont check at airports, 90 day notification is just used by local government offices. And even if you do late its 2000 baht or if get caught then 4000 baht but no black mark in passport.
  17. We had the same problem in the uk and the vet told us to change his food to the cheapest he said tge more expensive ones ( which you think would be much better) are to rich. We changed the food and never had any problems after
  18. Why sign anything that is written in thai and not for you but another person especially your ex wife ( a woman scorned ). That said it's easier for the bank to chase two people if payments are not made rather then one person
  19. They dont want another north korea
  20. I am sure the governments of the world are watching this authoritarian government very closely the usa are already concerned about corruption here and this again puts Thailand in the spot light.
