Same as when you ask for info on how to secure a service, people say "DO it yourself, much cheaper." EFF you! Case in point: My US passport expires in a little over a year, time to do it now. I started the process myself, starting with the photos. I went to a photo place recommended by folks on Facebook, told the photographer VERY CLEARLY I needed US passport photos. The photos they sold me were obviously not the ones we get for immigration so I thought all was good. Then my little inner voice said "hire an expert on something this serious." I went to an agent who immediately saw the photos were UK photos, not US. Their service will cost me under 4k baht and the time a frustration they saved me is well worth the price. Bottom line - it would save us all time and trouble if we just answered the questions asked, but I guess that's just too much for some to handle.

Yes, but that full pay is a pittance. I knew a big fish BiB in the little pond of Pattaya. He was a Thaksin supporter, and when Thaksin was ousted, this guy was rotated to a position, full pay, but none of the real gravy those guys get in the brown envelopes. He had a beautiful wife, several nice condos, cars to match - all gone in the blink of an eye. Being a BiB is a vow of poverty until you start worming in to the inner circles, skimming as much as you can without getting caught.

For what it's worth, I've seen Jesse Waters interviewing Dem supporters and some of them are also painfully stupid. It's really a decline in mental acuity across the nation. 50 years ago a wise man told me the people who really run America want to eliminate the middle class, resulting in a ruling class and a servant class. You start with education - civics was a required class when I went to high school. Now I'm not sure if it's even offered as an elective. When shows like "Beavis & Butthead" or "Jackass" are glorified and stupidity looked up to, the results are what you have running around today.

Supporters of the tangerine traffic cone of treason don't bother with pesky things like facts.

Yes WITH unwanted sugar.

I'm genuinely surprised it took this long. BTW, @HanagumaI gave you "Thank you's" on both posts you put here. I often disagree with what you have to say, but to quote @JCauto "Appreciate you engaging in reasonable debate, by the way."

Find some English speaking TV shows. I've known several people who did this to supplement their lessons.

No, sorry not sorry. Someone should have told the engineers it occasionally rains heavily in Thailand.

I remember watching a video about 60 years ago how the sun sends enough energy straight at the earth to satisfy all of its energy needs. We still haven't let that sink in.

As previously posted, once you mark a sender as "Not Spam" it is then sent to your Inbox. Mine are always sent from [email protected] as I imagine are all Immigration emails.

You're not off to a very good start, are you? I recommend lurking a little more, get more of an understanding how posts work.

OH ForChrisSake, that finger can be pointed at the entire human race. Don't start a farang/light skinned bashing thread.

"Is it closer to Bangkok or by bus?"

Karens are everywhere, they just don't get away with their absurd demands in LOS.

Practicing to finally go after those pesky ladyboys ripping off gold chains?

Any gawd who sends himself down to have himself tortured and murdered in a horrific fashion just to save creatures he made from sins he made up - how can such a madman be trusted?

REAL damned shame! I used to bicycle around there and could roam all around the facility. It looked top drawer, not just a scam. Good location, PLENTY of parking, it would have been a real draw.

I'll explain in small, easy to understand words - you are not an airport.

AseanNow isn't an airport, no need to announce arrivals/departures.

By law you are supposed to reply and explain that you are living overseas (if you are only temporarily in Cali and soon return to Thailand). There is supposed to be a bench warrant for your arrest for failure to respond. I got jury summons delivered to my Cali address and I made sure I told them where I was, why I couldn't do my civic duty, and that they had received my correspondence. Having said that, my son in Washington state has ignored 5 jury summons and nothing has happened to him. Let your conscience be your guide.

I was pointing out this IS a scam. Poster I was replying to was saying there was nothing wrong with what the taxi driver did. Your sarcasm is noted (that doesn't mean it's appreciated nor was it necessary).

One more time: What the taxi driver did is illegal. Full stop. "There is a law in Thailand that requires taxis to always run on meters and not to decline any customer that hails them when they are available." https://www.thaiembassy.com/travel-to-thailand/bangkok-taxi-tips-how-to-get-a-taxi-in-bangkok#:~:text=Use the Taxi Meter,them when they are available.

This man has no spine. He made a deal with devils and now the payment has come due. When it took 15 rounds of votes to get him into the speakership, that should have been enough of a clue that his would be a very short ride. Don't let the door hit ya where the good lord split ya.

Can't this kid get nailed for defamation?
