The marriage visa and retirement visas both clearly had as much thought put into them as every other cockamaimie idea they launch -only it was desperate times, the Asian financial collapse- and now they're having second thoughts. So they're gradually making both of them as difficult and expensive as they can. The marriage visa nonsense is completely unnecessary with today's tracking technology, as is the 90 day report. Unless you have a bloated government workforce that need a reason to exist. And a fear of foreigners, you but still want their money.

Here's an idea, solve some of the actual murders! I get VERY twitchy, when they fly in super-cop Hakpan and his report is basically: "nothing to see here". There's got to be a cover up on the scale of Epsteins Island for reasons we're not being told. Remember this is the same crew who once got away with blowing a Cathay Pacific Airliner out of the sky. Feel free to look it up. https://southeastasiaglobe.com/cathay-pacific-flight-cx700z/

Connecting several AC units to one master controller
chalawaan replied to CLW's topic in The Electrical Forum
Yes. It's possible but most units are designed to accept inputs wirelessly. So it could get complicated and expensive fast. You want to control them external to the site, what lead you to that solution to begin with, what's your desired outcome, in other words, why this way? What's the problem you're solving? Do you have a grow? If you do, there are websites devoted to those challenges with technology. The more detail you can share the more alternatives or solutions are likely to emerge in reply. -
So all this dropping by twice a day for a week, and angst. How much are you paying for this "service"? It takes a slow writer ten minutes to fill out an immigration form, there are people at immigration who will photocopy exactly what you need for 2 (two) baht a page. The bank letter is maybe another hour, including travel time. You can enjoy some great podcasts while you hang about immigration for a result, then with all the money you've just saved on DIY extension, you can take your tilac for a nice imported steak, or a five star buffet, and bevvys of your choice. Agents are for the blokes who are too unwell to do it themselves. Or those unicorns whose time really is worth more than the agents fee.

Accelerating melt of ice sheets now 'unmistakable'
chalawaan replied to onthedarkside's topic in World News
The rich will burn with us. I'm old, and have no known offspring. So I'm past caring. Since were all going to die no matter what the ice does, I just wanna drop in my tracks or in my sleep. Next topic... -
Netflix Sued for Depicting Cleopatra as Black
chalawaan replied to onthedarkside's topic in World News
Overall, biracial adults who are both white and black say they have more in common with people who are black, and that is reflected in their relationships: They feel they are more accepted by blacks than by whites, have had more contact with their black relatives over the course of their lives, and are about three times as likely to say all or most of their friends are black than they are to say all or most of their friends are white. By contrast, biracial adults who are white and Asian tend to have stronger ties to whites than they do to Asians. -
Netflix Sued for Depicting Cleopatra as Black
chalawaan replied to onthedarkside's topic in World News
Scholars reject the notion that Egypt was a white or black civilization; they maintain that applying modern notions of black or white races to ancient Egypt is anachronistic. In addition, scholars reject the notion, implicit in the notion of a black or white Egypt hypothesis, that Ancient Egypt was racially homogeneous; instead, skin color varied between the peoples of Lower Egypt, Upper Egypt, and Nubia, who in various eras rose to power in Ancient Egypt. Within Egyptian history, despite multiple foreign invasions, the demographics were not shifted substantially by large migrations. -
Netflix Sued for Depicting Cleopatra as Black
chalawaan replied to onthedarkside's topic in World News
Egypt is apparently in Africa, the arcane science of DNA confirms we all began in Africa. And if the times constantly a'changing produce profitable movies with black actors playing English Shakespearean nobility.... Then this rent-seeking nationalist better have enough savings to pay Netflix court costs. The DNA link supplied by Proton clearly proves modern Egyptians are just Arab invaders. -
Thailand’s PM visits Chiang Mai, a Pheu Thai stronghold
chalawaan replied to webfact's topic in Chiang Mai News
Came here for another jaw dropping juvenile remark from the good General, wasn't disappointed. -
Even I can't believe the bickering that came out of this irrelevant "shower thought" post. Some of you need to have a quiet word with yourselves. Life is too short, geezers!

A sad week down under. First Father Bob McGuire, now Bazza. RIP to two absolute Legends.

Yeah, if I walked into a weed shop and asked for "gear" I'd get some funny looks. Why do those with the strongest opinion against drugs, seem to know almost nothing about them beyond what the equally clueless mainstream media feed them. Go read some vice.com stories. They talk to people that are actually dialled in. Not bent cops, clueless editors, and gutless politicians.

You can state your position on weed without embarrassing yourself. Anyone who has ever used weed knows your check out story is either your imagination, or your ignorance of a multitude of drugs and their effect, or poly drug use. What evidence do you have that they only used cannabis? Or used cannabis at all? Without the science, what you saw is based on assumptions, and reads like your drug education is entirely based on the WoD propaganda pushed in the lamestream media.

KSR the armpit of Thailand. I'd rather sleep rough on Soi Zero. Chuwit is beginning to get on my nerves. The legality or otherwise of weed is the least of Thailands problems. In fact on balance, more harm than good going backwards, or many countries and US states with rule of law would not be decrimnalising it.

Importing Medicines -the rules change.
chalawaan replied to chalawaan's topic in Health and Medicine
Thank you Sheryl. We got this Bicalutamide for Prostate Cancer, without any issues in Bangkok, it was 180 pills airmailed. Moved to Korat, and now this. All I am relating is what we were told, that "Thai laws changed in February." This stuff is not cheap, even out of India, and necessary for the user. They told us once the package is "approved" we will be cleared for ongoing shipments. They didn't bother telling us we will waste our time as private citizens. The drug is available in Thailand. It's just infuriating to deal with this nonsense constantly. -

Thailand Urged to Increase Economic Cooperation with India
chalawaan replied to snoop1130's topic in Thailand News
You can't be Mercedes, or Airbus (yes I know they just signed a deal, but they also invented the A380 and time has proved that to have been a giant flop.) Who wants to tie their fortunes to the CCP and deal with a regime that has the tantrums of a three year old, and now insist on a party seat-warmer on the board to rubber stamp every single move you make! Also, their labour costs have skyrocketed. Bye China, it was fun while it lasted. -
Thailand Urged to Increase Economic Cooperation with India
chalawaan replied to snoop1130's topic in Thailand News
They had better move soon, because the shift out of China is going to be the greatest economic exodus in human history. And India need to seriously get out it's own way, the beaureaucratic BS there makes Thailand look like a well oiled machine! -
Turkish man assaults Pattaya restaurant worker, leaving him in a coma
chalawaan replied to webfact's topic in Pattaya News
If the US can insist on a full manifest of every single pax on every single inbound plane before take off for the last 22 years, then it's doable, Oh and China do it internally with 1.5 billion people. I'm not saying it's a great idea, and in China's case, it has yet to stop crimes such as kidnapping etc. where thousands of children are abducted in broad daylight and sold to who knows? It's just that it's not really that hard to ground anyone with a criminal record from leaving home to begin with.
