Get a pack of little neon post-it notes. Put one in your passport marked "please stamp here" each time you go through immigration, and ask the officer to stamp the marked page. I've never had an officer refuse the request.

What is the procedure when there is a 30-year or lifetime usufruct on the chanote?

Cable repair/replacement is a really simple operation. Order the parts (cable+housing) and tools if needed, do it yourself in half an hour. If you've never done it before, search YouTube for instructional videos. Park tools has an excellent DIY series.

I did not know that. CNG cars need gas cylinder inspection annually, LPG cars every 10 years.

Yes, they do. They know exactly what they're doing. They're going to keep pushing, increasing the heat on the frogs in the kettle bit by bit, and then act surprised when they get "unprovoked" pushback. Same with Ukraine. They knew where the red lines were, but they thought if they could overthrow the government and get "our guy" in place, they could steal the "Soviet" naval base on Crimea from Russia. Thing is, this is an election year, and both candidates need to out-anti-CCP the other. Any move by China to counter the threat, and it IS a threat, will require a counter-counter-move to satisfy the domestic audience. Buckle up!

US Army Special Forces Train Taiwan Troops Near China's Coast https://www.newsweek.com/american-special-forces-train-taiwan-soldiers-penghu-kinmen-china-coast-1868009 Poking the bear worked out so well, let's try the dragon as well! What could go wrong!

Speaking of ilks, the shining city on a hill has just recently permanently stationed Green Berets on Kinman Island. That's not just some lonely outpost in the South China Sea. Kinman Island lies in Xiamen Harbor just 6 miles from Xiamen Port and City, with closest point barely over one mile from mainland China. Apparently we weren't content with pulling Ukraine into NATO leading to the destruction of that country and loss of up to half a million Ukrainian men. Now we want to use the bodies of Taiwan's young men to "hurt" China. Expect to see reports of "unprovoked Chinese aggression" in the near future. But as a lovely young lady once said when asked about the deaths of half a million Iraqi children, "We think the price is worth it."

Yes, done it many times. I just never put it on the YouTubes.

Deport her for not having a work permit and performing reserved activities.

Compare the FX rate offered by the banks with the Wise FX rate, and factor in transfer fees.

No sense of humour, just an old sourpuss.

How much do those billboards cost? I was thinking of renting one for Phuket.....

What a shame. I was hoping the tradition for wifes was the same as for flippy-flops.

How much?

What's the tradition when you exit a temple and can't find your wife?

Not checking it is the worstest thing YOU could do!

Maybe. Or police could have politely explained, apologize or be deported, regardless of lack of evidence.

Nah, just set up automatic deduction from your bank account. PEA leaves your bill in the box outside, then pulls the charge from your authorized account.

I get confused in the restaurants. Customers wear their shoes inside, but take them off to eat, often putting their dirty feet on the seats or benches and cushions. And then there's uncle, who puts his feet on the table to pick his toenails. Amazing.

There's also this........(google translate)

Just wondering how many additional seats in total have been added to accommodate the "surge"?

We still only have one side of the story. But there are further developments. If you follow the links on the Facebook group page, you find (google translated):

The Russian lady is local according to Thaiger. As to defamation, I don't believe it matters whether the accusations are true or not. There's nothing in the legal text about statements being false, only that they harm the other party's reputation. That's why people get fined or jailed for bad restaurant reviews.

Are you saying a foreigner, in particular a Russian lady, cannot avail themselves of the Thai justice system?

Yes, Ploy did provide the footage to the police. But it was Ploy who posted the two photos to the Facebook group. It was Ploy who selected which frame grabs to post, not the police. And it was Ploy who posted the Russian's Instagram account. I'ma bet if the Russian lady survives the pitchforks-and-torches mob justice, the real story will be quite different.
