Jomtien Immigration today. Renewing extension based on Marrige to Thai:

I addition to what I expected and is detailed above, I needed to :

Photocopy passport pages, every stamp since last extension x2 (tip - check photocopy is clear, those I did on my own scanner in colour were rejected)

Photo prints of wife and me inside house, One photo, 2 prints ( this is in addition to photo including house address signage.)

Photo prints of us plus witness ( as we have no kids), 2 photos, 4 prints

Witness ID card and house book, 2 signed photocopies

Witness attendance on application.

Also caught out when witness interview revealed she has changed her name at some point, therefore 2x signed copies of Amphur registration document. Sorry don't know KR number.

Everything was double checked by a Senior officer taking about twice as long as last time. missus and witness say interview was more detailed and questions asked about my financial status even though I had the money in the bank.

With a 9 am start and bad luck on (lunch) timing I didn't get my passport back till about 2:30 pm. This despite only 3 people total in the queues before me.

Back on October 15th....

Edit: Didn;t need KR22, or affirmation of freedom to marry

You still could use the boiling feature of your kettle, after reaching boiling point carefully open the lid avoid contact with hot steam, then take a small cup and carefully scoop hot water in your bowl. But I think you figured that out already...

....or put your teabag in the kettle and use a straw!

Seal between lid and kettle probably worn/dirty. Try cleaning it gently.

Temp. hold the lid down with other hand while you press the pump.

Then buy a new one

If applying for re-entry permit at Jomtien, can it be done any day within 7 days of travel date?

Is it normally issued while you wait, come back later, or come back tomorrow?

Thanks.

You can apply for a re-entry permit at any time before the date you plan on traveling. There no max or minimum time.

They are normally done on the same day you apply. I can recall a report of a person having to go back later in the day pick it up.

Sounds good, thank you.

I have it on good authority, it's on 11th - 15th Feb this year.

Just as well because the UAE have pulled out - their pilots are scared.

Pulled out for additional training - possibly in using a handgun to the head to evade capture?

We have a concrete 'apron' of about 2m diameter around the rings at ground level. Keeps the chicken/dog sh#t away from the well a bit.

Many decades ago Brixton in London became a no go area for us honkies, afro stuff........

That's nonsense. When I lived in London I went to Brixton all the time, and knew a number of 'honkies' that lived there.

Me too, until they ran me out of town! Oh, no that was Brighton A Gay no-go zone.

Mermaids Dive Center, Jomtien.

Hang on, I'll get a round tuit soon.

Too late now so, How did it go?

My recollection was no medical needed but you need to take your tax/NI card.

I vote for Travelgirls. Oh Sorry. Jingthing then.

Edit: penny dropped.

more PR garbage this is being caused by SAUDI who are the founding member of OPEC ........the SAUDIS voted only 2 weeks ago NOT TO CUT production..so the UAE are talking out of their collective a**** ...guess it must be russia to blame yet again , at this rate Putin will be the cause of all the cancer in the world:whistling:

actually you are close

the slump in oil price was by design to bring pressure on Putin Russia and the rouble - I believe it is working

...And pressure on Iran. Kind a nice to screw with Russia, Iran and IS at the same time.

After checking in....Soapy!

Most beach-side Family Marts have plastic footballs if that's what you want. Blow up types, I don't recall seeing them.

Each riverside roadway will be 16 metres wide or equivalent to a four-lane traffic road.

Where are they going to find the space to put a 4 lane road along both sides of the river?

Might include narrowing the river?

No problem, they have the RTP to protect them........then may God help them

So wot's the big deal,,,,,,If they do not own the land they can't squat /live on the land,,,Get the law/army to move/evict the people of the land and fence it off No probs.

According to Thai law, you acquire certain rights if you have been using land for 10 years without being challenged.

...and not paying rent!

Family Mart Mafia Scam, when will it end?

At 07.00 p.m. today (30 Nov), tropical depression SINLAKU was downgraded to a low pressure cell over Cambodia. During 1 to 2 December, More rains are expected over the lower Northeast and the East.The areas include Ubon Ratchathani, Si Saket, Surin, Buriram, Sa Kaeo, Prachin Buri, Chachoengsao, Chon Buri, Rayong, Chanthaburi, Trat, Bangkok and its vincinity, Samut Sakhon, Samut Songkhram, Kanchanaburi, Ratchaburi, Phetchaburi, Prachuap Khiri Khan and Chumphon.

This has been the system for the past 1XXX years and probably will be for the next 1XXX years too! This is nothing more than a witch hunt.

You're mixing your metaphors. A "witch hunt" implies a wild search for culprits that don't even really exist, driven by irrational public frenzy. That's hardly the case here... You might be right about the fruitlessness of the anti-corruption effort, but it's certainly not a search for villains that don't exist! This sounds more like the first steps in a journey of a thousand miles... It's got to start somewhere, and this sounds as good a place as any.

Nope, that would be a 'Wild Goose Chase'

Any deal that gets the Chinese closer to the Gulf of Thailand and the Indian Ocean is very good for China and nobody else. IMHO.

I seem to be out of 'em, but "Likes" to all who have been visiting/helping/reporting. Fingers crossed for the victim Michael.

Can someone provide a link I can pass to the wife where this crime has been reported in Thai. Seems it hasn't been big in Thai news!!

Thanks.

To avoid any misunderstanding - Mermaids is not Russian owned or operated.

Vlad is nice though.
