Cheers...wife has been to the Amphur....we need my passport validating in BKK, then it has have an MFA translation......I really am not fussed about doing this.....not sure why she has a bee in her bonnet about it.
Forgot to mention......two trainees stood behind the IO were casting their eyes to heaven......and later said to the wife people come in everyday requesting the certificate.
I"m not bothered either way to be honest.....it"s the wife that has got it into her head to do this......and I know better than to even query what she"s doing....55
Three hour round trip........had to go to Chaiyaphum to request a Certificate of Residence.
IO: Sorry that"s not something we do.....????
Wife: Well we"ve had three before, all from this office
IO: Why do you want one?
Wife: I want to put my husband"s name in my blue book
IO: Why?
Wife: So he can get a pink card.
IO: Leans over and gets the form to request a certificate of residence....????.....Fill that in.
Handed it in to the IO.....wrong form. You need this one instead.
Fill that one in.
He checks everything and goes off somewhere.
IO: There's a problem. Your name is not in your tabian baan.....???
Wife: Yes it is.....that"s my name.
IO: There"s another problem. You had a different address four years ago.....???
Wife: Yes, we moved to our new address four years ago and we have completed a TM30 four times.
Two hours later........two ******* hours....... we get the certificate.....only valid for four weeks......no use whatsoever to us.
I am sick of this.
Internal strife and political interference hinder Thai police reform…….
….So not rampant corruption, nepotism, extortion, kidnapping and blackmail……mmmmm?
Need to focus on these Norwegians….far too many of them, drunkards, stealing Thai jobs, running businesses, thugs, mafia, crashing motorbikes and cars…..oh wait! That’s not the Norwegians is it?
I”d be quite happy with machine-gun nests posted every so often along the beach wall……cars, drunken foreigners, people playing music, those stupid wooden bat and ball games, llarge tourist groups following a flag, people playing football….….blow them all away.
