I'm looking at this motor versus xpander but I like the new corolla cross too. Would certainly be interested to read more views and the CX5 seems to hold it's value well.

Been looking at a new motor the last 8 months.

Absolute waste of space that place. Full of fake stuff and stinking arabs

I would not live in Chang mai if it was free rent for a year. Seriously whack part of thailand that has done well to capitalise on tourism but even better keeping the real cheap charlie's of thailand contained.

CMSA - BIGTIME

The scenes can be seen on some mediums. It is nothing like the news it's war on the streets. The streets are calling for change. You only have to see that watch lovers mug to realise they are s-hit-ting themselves as these demos are the main reason for closure and they are not stopping anytime soon. 

Without any doubt whatsoever this is the plan that is going to happen and not a single transmission will ever get past detection. 

The long play being the Chinese may try to ensure transmission occurs once more doors are opened and make thailand more reliant on them and more against western return.

I'm feeling your pain but, when were you here? Sorry in your 'pisstake' when do you claim to have been here? More yanks now than ever before , but not in the restaurant trade. Maybe that was back in Vietnam war days?!  ... There you go.

The pain is long forgotten but my memory works very well. I know what I heard I know what I saw and I know CM is wildly over rated as a place to live in thailand and from what I recall the Brits there were there mainly due to low cost of living. Pattaya was too expensive for them!!!!

I know yanks who been living there 30 years and one meeting was enough.

Nice swimming pool in the picture but I got 2 within 200 metres of my pad. They don't make me get all sentimental though. We just go swimming and enjoy the facilities.

Try a bit of bedroom athletics instead and you will be right as rain. Trust me.

Pm me if your next post:

Where to buy viagra?

Reforms are in the air gentleman. 

Infidels to a coup. Many more lurking. 

Kick it off with a 90 day voa to all white people and we could get shake things up.

I managed a few words to a few select local expats and they all seem pleasant but I do keep my distance and prefer online discussions during unsociable hours.

At what level does one need to be to rate a "serious" player? 

Serious players are 5+ years in. Totally acclimatized to time zone differentials and go to bed in thailand real soon. They never see daylight until midday and they never ever forget to switch their vpn onto the correct locations. They might have 3-4 phone numbers and you gotta be whacking one off 4-5 times a day. No rookie numbers on this beat.

Lot of skewed ideas here.

First, google facebook and apple have made working from home mandatory not optional. Not just senior staff, all that can, do.

3 out of 5 office based workers in the UK are still working from home.

Wfh - learn the abbreviation gents it's gone mainstream and yeah I agree those trend sheep scratching cash together working online free lancing were a bad example of digital nomads who thought being broke was part of the nomad dna. Then you got those nomad exploitation specialists doing bootcamps and all kinds of utter <deleted>.

The new wave of nomads will not be like the above and some have been around for years already but more will come and the real deal are dropping 60k a month in this country continually every month for years and saving just as much as the cost of living allows for it.

ASQ and then NQA no questions asked just show you have $15000 on arrival and <deleted> off, enjoy thailand.

Splatter it that's it bon voyage see you later but if you can show that same amount 12 months from now welcone to thailand.

Rinse and repeat. 

Where have I seen something similar????

Be afraid, be very afraid, worlds moved on be thankful you had a taste.

When married to a Thai or having Thai kids you're allowed to apply for a CoE. 

I understand but what we read and what actually happens on the ground are not always the same. I am providing feedback based on my experience. 2 years ago trying to obtain a non O based on child. Got told by two people they do not provide that

Somehing not feel right about this guy. He comes across very genuine but his accent is skewed too but I hear the scouse then he sounds Dutch in places. I guess that happens and probably made sense to scrap that accent being a teacher. Maybe there's a few like this about so it is nothing new. I met a few expats from Cambodia via Vietnam a while back. All seemed a bit downtrodden. Explained to this puff smoking chap had not had a drag in 5 years and he took me for some kind of scrounger. Took a puff of this absurd <deleted> and one was enough was the worst smoke I ever tasted. Got higher off the tuc lao smoke.

Time to start all over again after I removed several off topic posts.

To OP

You can apply for a certificate of entry at the embassy in London and a single entry non-o based upon being the parent of Thai.

General info is on the page for the London embassy website. https://london.thaiembassy.org/en/publicservice/application-for-certificate-of-entry-to-thailand-for-non-thai-nationa?page=5d6636cd15e39c3bd00072dd&menu=5f4b6eb3f6ae4b236972c562

And info for your situation can be found here. https://london.thaiembassy.org/en/publicservice/119247-requirements-for-certificate-of-entry-during-travel-restriction?page=5d6636cd15e39c3bd00072dd&menu=5f4b6eb3f6ae4b236972c562#4

 

After arriving here you could apply for a one year extension of stay based upon being the parent of a Thai during the last 30 days of the 90 day entry the non-o visa will allow. You will need 400k baht in a Thai bank in your name only when you apply or proof of 40k baht income. 

If you needed more time to get the financial proof for the one year extension you could apply for a 60 day extension to visit your child and then the one year extension of stay.

I went to that place in London for that NON O as Parent and they advised they do not provide that option. This was 2 years ago. Some posh part of London something South was the name of the tube I think. 

Interesting views so far.

The problem is I do not see any history of a family. Photos of him and his late wife with the children. Images with the children look manufactured and all videos show no sign of the children. I am not sure about it at all but I'm even more skeptical as I do not see anyone actually helping him. I can believe the halifax problem I know banks began doing this type of thing last year or so. 

I am hoping this person is a scam because the plight of this guy and his 3 young motherless children seems very bad and yet his kids look very happy.

The guy must be legit because he is very bad at the fund raising. I could possibly help him out anonymously as I am sure others would too but I need to know he is legit and not a scam or something worse.

Any info on this chap appreciated. Standard open source intelligence already performed.

No  that your interpretation of what I'm Sayin   HUGE DIFERENCE. EVERY player gets sold..EVERY club sells players.. what I was saying is that IF we'd signed Watkins, in a year maybe 2 he would have been ready to take Kane's spot.. if you knew much about footie baring the prem, Watkins has worked his way throught  ALL the divisions and EXCELLED at EVERY level non league loans,  young EFL player of the year at Exeter .. following deli Ali and a few others, divisions   top scorer in his first full season in the championship.  100% He's a class act    atm in the event of kane wanting to move or levy wanting to cash in. Either or or both 2 gether, IMO There's not a particularly great plan for a replacement.. an ex Brazilian center back.. whose cost us 5 mil for the season, who perhaps will succeed or maybe not... Watkins would have been a better plan b   but We'll see 

Dele alli is an awful example. Your overlooking the big time factor. Players change when they get to that level. Perfect example dele alli. Great player when he was trying to establish himself and we all tried to overlook the mis haps but the truth is he cannot and now he's better known for saying stupid things online than he is for his football ability. Kane is the polar opposite and a real role model for sport. That is not easily replaceable and yet he's a machine for goals too. Watkins is 25 he's got loads to get done and little time to do it and the big time pressure is two years away providing he can get to that stage.

Because it's business ronnie... And it's approaching the time to sell ... And besides it's footie EVERYONE with plannings replaceable and players peak and fade,and should be moved on when the monies and times  right for the team/club ..  that's the way it works.. ..and we should be planning.

And jack, Ronnie and I had a very similar conversation about kane,as I'm having with you now about Watkins   how many years ago ronnie?   And the reason why I  rate this kid Is that IMO   he's the best young English 9 if not player  thats come out of the lower leagues for the last????...... decade?  .. he's got the lot,   pace touch power and the biggest of them all HE CAN FINISH.. And he's a bright lad to boot.

So let's just take stock of what you are saying.

Prepare to sell harry kane who has been your best player for 5 years. His value has gone from 150 to 75 due to covid and now you think Spurs should buy this potential 1 game wonder from villa for let's say 35m for arguments sake.

You high or something?

I'm a moderation guy I love sipping whisky neat but I can limit my intake to a small glass every 3-4 days or whenever the Mrs gives the signals.

My biggest demon is water. I aim to drink 2 litres a day but fall short of that target too often.

I like that Heineken is here now but it's a 44 baht can for me everytime. Leo is a small can always over a big can. Moderation gents.
