  1. I registered for this early in the week and all seemed to go well. However, after I had finished the application Immigration sent me a confirmation email including passport details of a Dutch guy living in Bangkok! I am a little concerned that, in turn, they have sent my details to someone else. I wanted to inform someone in Immigration but there are no contact details provided to do this. Also, they send the confirmation email from a "no reply" address presumably because they don't want foreigners bothering them. ☹️
  2. A number always proceeds the last two letters in a UK postcode.
  3. The Op's address is not correct. He wrote WV98 ILW instead of WV98 1LW'. If the address is being machine read, it will conclude an incorrect postcode.
  4. The first group of Moderna queurers are being vaccinated now but whether they have enough doses for the whole group is doubtful. When did she book?
  5. Agreed, why run so close to the line? Unbelievable! Have separate accounts and keep at least 25,000 over in the visa extension account.
  6. "A 20-year-old Myanmar woman meets a 77-year-old British uncle online. They are now planning to get married, although they have never met in person before." Maybe he read 'Mandalay' by Rudyard Kipling? ???? By the old Moulmein Pagoda, lookin' lazy at the sea, There's a Burma girl a-settin', and I know she thinks o' me; For the wind is in the palm-trees, and the temple-bells they say: "Come you back, you British soldier; come you back to Mandalay! " Come you back to Mandalay, Where the old Flotilla lay: Can't you 'ear their paddles chunkin' from Rangoon to Mandalay ? On the road to Mandalay, Where the flyin'-fishes play, An' the dawn comes up like thunder outer China 'crost the Bay! 'Er petticoat was yaller an' 'er little cap was green, An' 'er name was Supi-yaw-lat - jes' the same as Theebaw's Queen, An' I seed her first a-smokin' of a whackin' white cheroot, An' a-wastin' Christian kisses on an 'eathen idol's foot: Bloomin' idol made o' mud Wot they called the Great Gawd Budd Plucky lot she cared for idols when I kissed 'er where she stud! On the road to Mandalay... When the mist was on the rice-fields an' the sun was droppin' slow, She'd git 'er little banjo an' she'd sing "Kulla-lo-lo! With 'er arm upon my shoulder an' 'er cheek agin my cheek We useter watch the steamers an' the hathis pilin' teak. Elephints a-pilin' teak In the sludgy, squdgy creek, Where the silence 'ung that 'eavy you was 'arf afraid to speak! On the road to Mandalay... But that's all shove be'ind me - long ago an' fur away An' there ain't no 'busses runnin' from the Bank to Mandalay; An' I'm learnin' 'ere in London what the ten-year soldier tells: "If you've 'eard the East a-callin', you won't never 'eed naught else." No! you won't 'eed nothin' else But them spicy garlic smells, An' the sunshine an' the palm-trees an' the tinkly temple-bells; On the road to Mandalay... I am sick o' wastin' leather on these gritty pavin'-stones, An' the blasted English drizzle wakes the fever in my bones; Tho' I walks with fifty 'ousemaids outer Chelsea to the Strand, An' they talks a lot o' lovin', but wot do they understand? Beefy face an' grubby 'and - Law! wot do they understand? I've a neater, sweeter maiden in a cleaner, greener land! On the road to Mandalay... Ship me somewheres east of Suez, where the best is like the worst, Where there aren't no Ten Commandments an' a man can raise a thirst; For the temple-bells are callin', an' it's there that I would be By the old Moulmein Pagoda, looking lazy at the sea; On the road to Mandalay, Where the old Flotilla lay, With our sick beneath the awnings when we went to Mandalay! O the road to Mandalay, Where the flyin'-fishes play, An' the dawn comes up like thunder outer China 'crost the Bay ! https://www.kiplingsociety.co.uk/poem/poems_mandalay.htm
  7. I have been trying to find out my wife's position in the queue via the hospital's facebook messenger facility. However, after some initial responses they are now not responding to my requests. Thank you for your response, most helpful.
  8. Only 1,900 baht! My Thai 'er indoors' costs at least a million baht more, e.g. Thai wife cost = 1,000,000 + 1,900 = 1,001,900 baht a year
  9. Did you buy 2 jabs? Can they be separated as boosters?
  10. Maybe she'll get a council flat with a bun in the oven and benefits. Better than living in Myanmar.
  11. It all part of the glorious plan... Good guys out! Bad guys in! I would tell your friend to move to Cambodia, if as apparent, Thailand doesn't want him.
  12. Wow! That is the first time I have seen that mentioned. So if you tried to sell it, the buyer would be put to the back of the queue which defeats the purpose of why they are buying it!
  13. Does anyone have the official 'terms and conditions' for the above bookings. I am assuming all the Private Hospital Association's Hospitals are the same? My wife and daughter booked at Princ Hospitals.
  14. "His elite visa is good for another 2 years. To add salt to the wound he had to pay 25,000 baht fine for overstaying." I would have expected his Elite Visa to be cancelled as well?
  15. Correct, maybe the food was shlte, I have been to a restaurant like that before where I wanted to walk out.

  17. In the UK it is driven by the Left and their socialist mates.
  18. "BANGKOK, Dec 3 (TNA) – The Omicron variant of COVID-19 will definitely enter Thailand and measures can only delay its arrival, warned a health advisor who called for quick inoculation for 10 million unvaccinated people in the country." Provide alternative vaccines to the people waiting for Moderna then! A week ago they were promised Pfizer or AZ.
  19. How are they going to sue him if they don't know where he lives? The condo management have the authority to order Thai immigration to stop someone leaving Thailand on the basis of a "pending court legal case"? 55555
