JAL have been using wide-bodies on domestic flights since the 747 days. Nothin new here, move along now.

The OP mentions "my SCB Bank account (Pattaya Central Festival location)". If this account is still active, there should be no real need to open a new one. Remit the money, let it fester and then apply for the long-stay. The only documents needed from the bank will be the statement and/or bank book. The former can be ordered online or at any branch and the bank book can be updated at any branch too.

For the record, I am married and living but not working in Thailand. My UK offshore bank requires me to prove that I am non-UK tax domiciled by presenting them with a TIN from the revenue department of the country where I claim I am domiciled. The reality of "I am not liable for taxation anywhere" is no longer an option and results in the account being either 'resticted' or closed. The UK offshore bank's KYC (know your customer) regulations are driven by their requirment to comply with the edicts of the US banking industry while Thailand's latest tax grab is driven by their wish to become a full member of the OECD. Catch 22

Pretty fair comparison? From wiki (my emphasis) 'It was one of the most repressive police organisations in the world, infiltrating almost every aspect of life in East Germany, using torture, intimidation and a vast network of informants to crush dissent. ... Officers tortured prisoners by isolating them, depriving them of sleep and using psychological tricks such as threatening to arrest relatives. ... The Stasi also conducted espionage and other clandestine operations outside the GDR through its subordinate foreign-intelligence service..." Hardly.

Similar to Udon Thani except they insisted all paperwork be completed and filed in their office and the TIN would be issued after their assessment and only if any tax owed was paid. If no tax was owed then no TIN would be issued. So they had to look at the internet before being able to do what they're trained and paid to do. At least they issued the TIN. Well done.

That darned overproof THC again...

What rails are "trip level high"? Are your knees funny like @BritScot's

Where are your knees? Nothing wrong with that barrier. It's higher than a condo balcony. The cctv didn't reveal any "motorbike driving on the path" either. But it did reveal the victim climbing over the barrier.

Sexual assault is about POWER, not sex.

vaseline does that

Rape is about POWER, not sex. I would have thought all aseannow's mysoginist apologists knew this already?

I agree with everything you write regarding what the police should and should not be doing, but your 'The Stasi' anaolgy is ludicrous. You're not Labour MP Graham Stringer by any chance?

I believe that privilege is unchanged in their recently revised Malaysia My Second Home long-stay immigration entitlement where the financial bar was raised. However, the incidence of bacon still remains inversely proportional to the peace and tranquility quotient.

Who's being intolerant? Up to you as to what you allow yourself to believe. PS: Loving the irony but. Absolutely drenched in it. Awesome.
