Hunt's a Remainer in Brexiteer's clothing. Speaks with forked tongue. How else can he have survived the purges and turmoil of the Tories enduring struggles to run their on own shop? Now that Starmer has nailed Labour's Brexit colors to the wall, it's time to kick the deplorable Tory party into touch at the next election. https://www.thetimes.co.uk/article/keir-starmer-promises-to-make-brexit-better-not-rejoin-the-eu-rvm8fbxdf Now that Momentum are crashing and burning, the lefties are fleeing Labour in droves. The only hope the Tories have of making the next election something with which the British electorate can fully engage, is to get rid of their own extremists within. Unfortunately, with successive administration, repeatedly giving some of them jobs in the cabinet, the rot is too deep to be easily excise. https://www.theguardian.com/politics/2022/nov/22/momentum-in-financial-peril-after-leftwing-exodus-from-labour

Yes. Again yes. Obviously not. Is there a trend that's apparent to you?

What's the "acceptable range"? A person more learned in all things forex once told me that of the world's 'major' currencies, historically, the pound sterling has been the most volatile. The highs and lows aren't persistent. In all my years of working around the world and getting paid in US$ while living and banking mostly in the UK, the 'roundabouts and swings' experience hasn't been too arduous or detrimental. You can't be a winner all the time.

Bellyaching while helping kick the can down the road ....... check.

And for those who insist that truth can only be firmly built on facts, we can thank then U.S. Counselor to the President, Kellyanne Conway for introducing the concept of "alternative facts" on January 22, 2017. This is a bone that the more feckless and gullible conservatives have picked up on and have been running with ever since. Truthiness. It's right up there with bigly.

You are full of hate. Please stop quoting me. Waste of time talking to someone who is so negative. Goodbye. From @ozimoron's perspective, it's probably almost as bad as talking to someone who is so clueless.

But isn't the OP's issue that he doesn't have the requisite paperwork from his current 'landlord' to apply for any extension? The hotel route seems like the fast fix. Then find some NON-airbnb accommodation. Their whole existence is predicated on finding vacation bolt-holes. I could be wrong but I have a feeling that the OP isn't on holiday.

I had a situation in a Singapore hotel where I needed to extend my stay that was originally booked via agoda. I asked at reception if I could extend and they said they were full, no extension. I went to my room and checked the hotel's website and that confirmed what reception had just told me. I looked on agoda to see if any rooms were available in a nearby hotel. The hotel I was in came up as having availability so I called reception and mentioned this. The same person that had just told me they were full and couldn't extend told me to go ahead and book the extension via agoda and they would honor it.

correct, Indian passport holders aren't eligible for visa exempt entry. they must use the Visa on Arrival option. Yes, but the Indian pax was in transit on the same ticketing structure as the OP, ie. no intention of entering Thailand. The OP was allowed to transit airside, the Indian was "forced" to go through immigration? I don't think AirAsia interline checked baggage on all their routes so maybe the Indian pax did have to recheck his baggage? That's the only reason I can see him being required to enter and exit Thailand. Jobsworths.

Me. It's not perfect, never has been but after visiting my sister in a care home in the UK, I think for the moment, my bread is buttered on the right side, right here. What's a "philipean"?

Is there any clarity on the "other suitable areas" beyond Bangkok and Pattaya? At the moment, I have no real interest in a 1 rai plot in either the lower bowel of Thailand or it's colostomy bag.

Revisiting this thread. Have you bought a SIM router yet or still evaluating data packages via a smartphone? I am down in Australia at the moment and there's a better choice of SIM router but I would need to burrow deep into the specs to see if they're totally compatible with the Thai networks.

To be honest, if one types Air Asia into a blind Google search, the top-half of the response have many links to other, non-AirAsia sites. Agreed that most of them are flagged as "Ad" for advertisement but if someone isn't too browser savvy, they can click on any one of these and waste their time. AirAsia is a low-cost carrier and that ethos appears to include their attitude to SEO.

Why do you think the OP should tell you why he wants to do this? Is it even relevant?

Just making the point that its gets rather tiresome when people keep posting the same slogans over and over again . Gordon Brown selling the gold , Mohamad marrying Aisha , You mean the same irrelevant and deflective stuff recycled by the same person? Like the irrelevant and deflective 'but Corbyn' jibe? (Jibes not slogans)

I did . "Far right", "extreme right" are often used as a descriptive word for Neo Nazis Only by the less well read and the Daily Mail copy writers.

Yes. And I am even older!

This will be in my Christmas stocking after I get back from work. https://www.lazada.co.th/products/i3974129935-s15376608395.html

I used the same login as the website for the app and never had to enter it in the app since. I am logged in as soon as I open the app.

Themselves.

Now now, try and stay focused. Did you vote for four Tory chancellors in as many months?

While all the home-grown, 'intelligent' white kids will be down the pub, obliterating their brain cells. Been there, done that.

OK, thanks for clarifying this. I apologize for bringing it up on the Savanakhet visa thread. Hopefully an HCMC visa thread will pop up before I make that decision next February.

Nope. But some do appear to need hand-holding every little step of the way.

I thought the "standard 20k baht or the equivalent of it in a foreign currency" was the criteria of an examining RTP immigration officer on arriving in the country. Is there any recent evidence that the RTCG in HCMC which issues visas on behalf of the MFA uses the same criteria as the RTP? My understanding is that theses two entities have little in common in that MFA dictates what's required to apply for entry while overseas wheres the RTP decides what's needed for actual entry on arrival. Similarly for the wife's signature being accepted as "certification". This appears rather arbitrary and lax when one considers the bureaucratic hoop-jump that even the simplest of tasks requested of a Thai government entity typically demands. I'm not doubting your advice and the vagaries of their decision making isn't unknown but if there's a recent link to a successful Non-O multi (Thai spouse) visa application at HCMC that only required evidence the 20k baht (equivalent) and the spouse's "self-certification" of the support documentation, that may be handy.
