Suddenly major investors are pulling out/steering clear of New York. The orange-tinted fraud is going to cost New York a LOT of money. Tired of winning yet? Make sure he doesn't worm his way back into the White House and that he has to put on an orange jumpsuit and things can go back to a semblance of order.

I have to disagree. Rent prices have almost doubled in Pattaya/Jomtien area over the last two years. I moved to Chanthaburi two years ago and keep tabs on rent costs as I had planned on eventually moving back, but if the advertised prices are reflecting actual costs, then Pattaya/Jomtien might become a nice place to visit but not to live.

This was anything but. The fact that he only won roughly 60% of an election that should have been his shows how weak his campaign is. Victory? Meh. Resounding? HELL no.

#1 Topic: Proper distribution of brown envelopes?

I've always used the last date I entered Thailand, not the original (for me) 2006 date.

My friends and I gather regularly at a bar that serves food Saturday noon. Does that count?

As I wrote when this misinformant was exposed, Faux is STILL insisting there is (and I quote) "a treasure trove of evidence," yet when asked to share even ONE little bit, they hem, and haw, and shuffle their feet. And still people follow this crap blindly. I wouldn't care if it didn't have any impact on me or mine, BUT IT DOES! It impacts ALL of us, regardless of nationality. Shake My Effing Head.

They're smelling blood in the water.

1. The IO took care of any paperwork needed for this time and warned me that all future trips must be reported to them. 2. There was no fine. I am always polite and dress nicely, keeping my bare feet squarely on the floor, looking docilely forward while waiting for service - you know the drill. FWIW, after all was done and dusted, I returned with a nice bin of "Shadow" chocolates for the office to show my gratitude. I understand they could have made my life a little miserable over this and I think they recognized an honest mistake.

Why aren't you supposed to do that? Is it for property owners only?

Yup, that's the one.

Exactly right! Since the system is obviously not automated, I think this IO was just bored, started perusing various reports and found this "discrepancy."

That's what I was thinking as well. She even brought out a copy of the report of my October hotel stay to make her point. I'll just make sure and report to them every time I leave the province for even a day if I check in to a hotel. Better safe than sorry. Have you ventured outside the province and stayed at a hotel then returned without reporting to them?

I used to be absolutely anal retentive about trying to recycle/reuse plastic even though I'd heard recycling was futile as many plastics aren't capable of being recycled. I do hold hope for the future, especially for the ocean where all our food chains begin: https://engineering.princeton.edu/news/2022/11/03/researchers-cook-new-way-remove-microplastics-water

You can't rise to this level in politics/RTP (kinda same same) without accepting brown envelopes. He obviously upset the wrong folks who then turned on him. Bets on how soon this turns into a circular firing squad?

This has GOT to be one of the WORST things an ignorant politician has ever said. I've known too many people with an honest desire to quit whatever drug they were into undergo treatment multiple times. Ever been to an AA meeting? I doubt there is one person at any meeting anywhere that hasn't backslid multiple times. Same with NA. I'm not knocking the efforts to clean it up in LOS, but statements like this undermine their credibility.

Again, I was also under that impression and found out the hard way Chanthaburi has not caught up with the rest of Thailand. The IO was very clear that every time I go outside the province and check into a hotel elsewhere, I am required to report back to them within 24 hours. Their office is less than 2 kilometers from where I stay so it won't be a problem, just an inconvenience. The point of this post is to let the few who live in Chanthaburi be aware this is their policy. For now, anyway. We ALL know the only thing permanent here is change.

All I know is because I spent those days in Pattaya last October and didn't report to them within 24 hours of returning, they refused to renew my 90 day report. I had to tell the IO several times to look at the new passport which showed my latest extension was Chanthaburi based. She even went to the back room to scrutinize my condo rental contract. I've been on retirement OA/extensions for over 10 years. All of those were registered at Jomtien immigration, and occasional trips outside Chonburi province were of no concern. I moved to Chanthaburi about 16 months ago, transferred my extension here, and I'm still finding out little eccentricities of their procedures.

I just had my 90 day online report denied and was told to report to Chanthaburi immigration immediately. I thought it was my new passport still suffering speed bumps in the process. Turns out a trip I made to Pattaya for four days last October (taking care of said new passport) caused the problem. Because I did NOT report back to Chanthaburi immigration within 24 hours of returning, they switched my permanent residence to the hotel I stayed at. I thought hotel trips outside the province were not an issue any more. Once the IO realized what my oversight was, she fixed it all up for me. Lesson learned.

I don't agree with some of her policies, but I DO know she is much more successful than YOU'LL ever be even in your dreams. When you post crap like this, you affirm what everyone is thinking, that your posts are only to troll. It looks like you're someone who got kicked off AN and slithered in on a new profile. Go ahead and spew your childish, mean-spirited retort. No one takes you seriously any more. Just like Pennywise in IT II, you will fade away as an inconsequential whisper.

Seems to be a lot of that going around lately. 😛

And exactly how much money will actually wind up in the fund's account?

Ohhhh, you DO care! 😉

THERE"S that raw nerve. Sorry I stepped on it (not).
