No. While "rough" handling is common at many airports, I've worked in ops for a major carrier at Narita and Seoul (and previously for many yrs at LHR/FRA/CDG) and can assure that at Japanese/Korean baggage handlers would NEVER treat pax luggage this way. Different (better?) culture where folks take pride in their work no matter how "simple" or low paid.

Hire Agent Houdini to make that silly rabbit of an oversight disappear back into the hat.

I don't know about UK laws or the power that a council has to enforce its own decision in a speedy manner but what if you simply refuse to move out on the 5th (buy enough Armageddon-level canned goods to last you for a while) and lock yourself in? Could that buy you a few months (or longer) befoe they actually break in with a SWAT team and drag you out like they would in AmeriKKKa?

Because they want well adjusted normal people who are not losers to come across as even more special,

Yes, this is my one main non-negotiable condition. Which insurance companies are able to do direct billing with BDMS hospitals? Their website doesn't list companies... https://www.bdms.co.th/patient-services Would be pretty pathetic if one of ASEANS biggest advertisers (CIGNA's links are plastered all over this site) isn't accepted.

Thinking about getting the CIGNA Global Expat (Asia only, for Thailand where I will reside, and Korea where I will visit a lot) insurance. Got a quote, see below, for under THB 80k/year. Chose a plan that has no deductibles/no cost share, and seems to have a good coverage for most eventualities. I'm 50 yrs old. Any of you have experience with them? I don't care about the amount, just the quality of service. I require a dual-country policy (TH & S. KOREA) so most of the usual local suspects like Axa don;t work. If anyone has any other suggestions, feel free to suggest~

I would not recommend risking any negative history showing up on an immi officer's screen upon entry. Just not worth any sort of risk when a lousy 1900 bt can keep you squeaky clean.

My girlfriend, 28/Bachelor degree in accounting, works as a logistics department assistant manager/supervisor with 15 employees under her at a fairly large and well known coconut product export company located just outside of BKK. Shm makes 18,000-20,000ish/month depending on overtime and a few other extras. Her only real expense besides food is her (clean, basic) room for 3,000/month near the office. She never asks for money and is quite a proud person, but I wan to supplement her income a bit more so that her small investment portfolio (not a dummy, very frugal and is learning about basic investment strategies/vehicles) can be increased. How much do you folks think is "reasonable" ......I do really like her (I live in BKK and we see each other on most weekends, for about the last year and a half) and think there may be a possibility of marriage at some point, but that is not a primary concern. I just want to be help a good person improve her "wealth accumulation" a little as I am fortunate enough to do so. 1) 5k 2) 10k 3) 15k 4) more 5) match whatever her monthly salary is 6) zero, don't ruin a good thing

I generally like Russians and hope they are welcomed here regardless of political situations (as they are like azzhools, right?).

RIP young lady.

Juristic committee is required by the Condominium Act to publish/release outgoing expenses along with regular balance statements.

Turning age 50 end of March, currently a resident of Korea. I have a Thai bank account (obtained years ago when it was easier) in which I always keep around 50k or so. For various reasons, I plan to hand carry US$ 10k to use for toward the THB 800k requirement on each of the 3 quick trips to Phuket I will be doing in the next few months until the end of this year. I assume this is ok (since it's not a condo purchase where the requirement of a int'l bank transfer is clear)? Please correct me if wrong. Thank you!

Or you could just grow up and buy an adult car^^

What about this casing?

The second someone starts letting rounds off in your direction, it really doesn't matter. Neutralize the threat is all that matters. This isn't the 1700s where morons held "gentlemanly" duels.

Obviously a case of quality, made in USA precision gunsmithing (Ruger) vs Thai steel waterpipe backyard special, model "Somchai 69" with bamboo sights 555.

Europe now forced to buy R gas in roubles. Rouble will replace the petrodollar, possibly become the reserve currency. Now a real possibility. R already in control of the largest chunks in the commodities markets. The moronic snowflakey West's suicide continues.

-1 a-hole. Boo hoo.

I bet you are allergic to peanuts too and demand the flight crew remove them from the aircraft...

My daughter just called the police on her teacher for molesting her. That's the end of home schooling for her!

As the title says. What do you experts like ubonjoe/jack etc. here think? 1. Pretty much definitely to continue for at least a while 2. Very possibly (better than a 70% chance) 3. Possibly (50/50 chance) 4. Not confident, less than 50% chance 5. Nope, no chance, this time they mean it. Buh bye, falang. Your free ride is done.

Thank you, gents!

I am 48, Sir.

I realize COVID extensions may be continued in the future, but what I am interested in is convenience. Not the cheapest solution. 1. Arrived 17 Nov on a 60 day TV (EU passport, perm resident in Japan) 2. I will get one regular 30 day extension in mid Jan when my TV expires - CAN I DO THIS ONLY ONCE? 3. If so, then I would prefer to pay for a more "legitimate" visa ( for lack of a better word) to stay for a period of 6 months at a minimum, to one year more at most. I am actually seriously interested in learning Thai, or maybe even Muay Thai.....just to have something to do. WHAT ARE MY OPTIONS IN THIS REGARD? I am staying in Phuket. TIA for any tips. Agents - please feel free to contact me as well.
