You have to stay in a hotel registered for the sandbox.

Follow up question is see they offer short term insurance to cover a tourists trip but how does that work for an expat On a Non O extension who has no long term insurance option. After the quarantine you go home the insurance expires and life as normal?

I read the requirements I didn't see if I went the Samui sandbox route can I quarantine in my house not a hotel?

Straight to jail do not pass Go. Wife too.

It amazes me how quick these cops can grab someone

Not really a tough case not to disparage successful efforts of law enforcement.  If you knew the crime location you would know its rarely visited and if by a local he likely didn't live or work far from there.  There's also no way to get on Laem Panwa except by boat and not be captured on camera. Theres only a few houses on the soi that go to the waterfall.  Suspect was likely seen coming or going.  Then put some money on the street in that area looking for a guy with scratches on his face who was acting weird the day of the crime.  He may have grabbed a bottle of lao khao and some smokes at the nearest mom and pop.  Run the victims credit cards and cellphone for activity after the time of death too.  Probably plenty of DNA at the scene and suspects home due to the nature of the crime for conviction purposes. Confessions not difficult to get on a high guilt crime either.  As far as who ever posted the "guilty until proven innocent" comment, in a rape murder case if you have enough to charge someone a prosecutor is literally asserting his or her guilt, regardless or what a court says (many guilty people are found not guilty but they are never "found innocent") and the release of a photo could turn up additional evidence or victims.  The debate may be moot as the article says he was detained not charged, This could very well be an old mug shot. Generally speaking what you said is true but in a high crime release of a photo is for the greater good.

So looking at the policeman with the weapons I am hazarding a guess here that fingerprints are not used in the investigation process.......

You don't need fingerprints with eyewitness testimony. Saw dirtbag with knife arrested same. Done. Don't watch so many crime dramas.

No doubt he will admit defeat, gracefully apologize and step down. Oh wait he's Thai

Sorry, you misunderstood my question, I was referring to extortion.  Do you have an example of your being extorted in the actual context of the thread's meaning?

I'm in the top category and they broke my balls year after year with their racist xenophobic policies and blatant harassment when all I wanted to do was enjoy my retirement and spend money here. I wouldn't invest 25 satang now out of spite. You reap what you sow. Good luck China minor.

UPDATE: Thinking is now banned. Junta taking the lead on this initiative.

How have IOs tried to extort money from you?

Address certs are supposed to be free. They charge 300 baht in Phuket. The old boss got pushed out for corruption the new one came.in and said "If any of my officers charge you for this service report it to me....BUT I DONT THINK ANY OF THEM DO IT".  That's a real snitch confidence boost. And before you say "It's only 300 baht" remember they do it all day long year after year. That's one example. There are others. Don't be naive and argumentative about known facts.

You get what you pay for

Good luck trying to find lottery tickets with any of these numbers left

It was clear what I needed. Everyone knows notary's are a dime a dozen here.  I asked for useful information not common knowledge. It's possible my attorney is wrong but doubtful and it doesn't really matter. He sets the standard and the standard must be met. It's possible the Embassy is wrong hence my inquiry. I don't really need the classic Thaivisa debate. Just need to know if the Italian embassy will notorized a POA for an non Italian with an Italian lawyer from anyone who has experienced the situation. All others feel free to ignore the polite request and move on.

In Samui the home owner must do it and then they only accept it online. Some concessions are made for Thai landlords it seems. Maybe your daughter should register to make online TM30's in the future.

Thai lawyers have notary public.

 

If you are in Bangkok there are a few notary public lawyers in glas haus building a short distance from Asoke.

 

Price to certify docs is approx between 1000 to 2000 baht per page.

 

Other cities have licensed notary public lawyers as well and can be searched on the internet.

 

Dont know if this would be OK for Italy, you could ask your attorney.

I stated the attorney wants it notorized in the Italian consulate in lieu of apostille.

Well this didn't go so well

I need to have a power of attorney endorsement for my Italian lawyer. They prefer apostille but I can't get that in Thailand. My attorney says I can get a notory to endorse it in the Italian embassy. The Italian embassy website seems to say they only do this for Italian citizens which I am not. I have inquired with the embassy and waiting for a response but if anyone has any useful information please advise. Thank you.
