Liverpool Lou

You are a sensitive it seems. My friend was there. With the police with whom that organisation works? You know, the police who weren't involved in this raid?!

She was forced to provide it in order to get a new joint account passbook, or to cancel the joint account. But she, as a joint "either/or" account holder, could continue to drain the joint account legally "...she, as a joint "either/or" account holder, could continue to drain the joint account legally". Not without advising the bank of the death of the joint account holder, she couldn't. Deaths have to be advised to institutions such as banks, that's why they asked for it now!

Immigration authorities can do that in your ("1930s-like") country, also, yes?

or maybe he was planning on staying ad infinitum?

In your country also or you just want that for Thailand? "Just let people live where they like as long as obey laws..." Make your mind up, that's exactly the situation with these reports, the foreigners are not obeying the laws that you're saying they should be obeying!

Really? How do you know that they weren't on the lookout for him?

Nonsense, unless there are other reasons such as not paying the fine. Once they've got the ticket sorted, they're out of there to the airport.

Heaven forbid.

No.

Luckily, that's not happening unless the police see "oh, sh!t" signals from individuals or they know who they're looking for.

No, it does not mean that everyone gets checked...and they don't.

It's as if the BiB are are shouting from the roof tops..."don't overstay your visa or this could happen to you".

He could refuse but it's called "sending a signal", so why not?

You've missed it...or are you pre-planning 2024?

You've missed the flight.

Plenty of unattractive ones, also!

Why should the "airport traffic be jammed" when no extra flights that the airports can't handle are being laid on?

Why are you riding a bike on the expressways where they're banned?

I'm having no struggles with reading, unlike your composition skills that do seem to be!

Obviously a Thai woman would NEVER expose herself like this. Obviously, you're being sarcastic but, in reality, not many Thais women would do that.

Because they are police officers and, perhaps, there was a chance that the woman was foreign as most Thai women probably would shy away from that kind of activity so close to a monk.

how do you know. Were you there? No, but I did read the OP in full, unlike you, and the organisation to which you refer was not mentioned, neither was any police involvement. Was he there? Didn't think so.

Innumerable people say the earth is flat. So what? Innumerable people also say that homosexuality is wrong but both of those views, obviously, have been proven to be wrong. Biden's deficiencies are clearly seen almost every day and cannot reasonably be denied (depending on whether more than one news source is followed, of course).

Good for him. Not in this raid, though, apparently.

Whats DPA stand for? It's all there in the OP.
