I'd rather just stay around Sattahip and pay an agent

They have been my agent for the past 8 years. My only criticism is that they tend to be at the upper end of expensive.

That's where it falls down for me. I'd pay a Kings Ransom to never have to go to Bangkok'

You can't use this method here, as you need to surrender your old passport by posting it to UK, which you can't do if it contains your original and valid visa and extension stamps in it, which have to be transferred across by Thai Immigration. And what's his wife got to do with it?

When I was in the Military LGBT meant 'Laser Guided Bomb Technology'

And that is what gives me comfort in the limited future, in cosmological terms, of the known Universe

My specialty is particle physics, allied to cosmology. That's where I find 'the truth' if indeed there is such a concept, I do not find it in any human construct or wild theories, with no real basis in known science or mathematics. The more I know, the less I know that I know.

The sooner the better for me. The human species has no right to a long term future, the species is far too destructive, savage, unpredictable, gruel and vicious, far more than any other on the planet.

Its called 'weather' and its been going on for 4 Billion years. People need to calm the fxxx down.

oh dear, what a shame, never mind

HaHa, you mate are deluded .

and of what relevance is that?

Rubbish, they are one in the same.

Timings timings !!! Get your history right my friend. Tit for Tat is fine. pushing your head into the sand to avoid the inevitable is cowardice. Israel is far from cowardly. They are doing the 'Free World's' job for them as the rest of that World doesn't have the balls for it, or the principles.

300 missiles, yep, really minor

Hopefully. Iran needs to be dealt with, sooner or later. I vote for sooner.

Timings!!

and Iran backed Hezbollah attacks preceded that. Lets at least get the timings right.

If you think that, then think again. The sole reason for the programme is to develop nuclear weapons, and yes, that is illegal. They were helped by both the French and the Pakistanis, no surprise there. Yes, you are right, in that the totally inadequate treaty was quite rightly torn up by the US, so there are insufficient to no checks going on.

The biggest disappointment in this report is that the strike appears to be at a low level and did not target Iran's illegal nuclear programme. That is just putting off the inevitable.

A slight change to that statement, Patty locals don't seem to like tress, in fact most city likers and dwellers World wide seem to hate green stuff that grows.

They had better !

Because they are as thick as a brick. Hotter and harder to keep clean, but they all want to look, like gangsters, hence the illegal heavy tinting. Pathetic.

Believe me, the general Thai population are as clueless about the workings of government agencies as we farangs. They dispise them as much as we do. and suffer the same frustrations and inconsistences as we do. A Thai friend of mine, an academic, told me that civil servants here are the bottom of the food chain, lower even than farmers.

Any Amphur, any where can issue a new ID. Beware though, my g/f also expired ID and her Mother had to pitch up with her, and her Birth Certificate, before they would issue a new one, because for some reason, the thumb print ID didn't work. Apparently, if you are legally married, the husband can vouge for the wife, on production of the M cert. It was not at her Blue Book Amphur, but one in another City entirely.
