...and start a third rejection thread for the wide-mouth bass that swim amongst us.

So, in order to make the OP look foolish, three members have made fools of themselves. Priceless.

What are you doing Thursday then? Fancy a trip to Laos? Optional Udon Thani stopover either side?

Oh my, isn't that precious. It appears @Pattaya57 had donated an appointment slot to the beleaguered OP. That's what (forum) friends are for.

Oh dear. I think it is time for the, "In over 45 years of very frequent air travel, I have never, ever had this happen to me" comment.

I think that Avoidance and Evasion are way too similar, and tend to draw the same unwelcome attention. I much prefer to call my strategy Tax Mitigation.

Well spotted. The cut-and-paste pictures are deceptive enough but seriously, does anyone think they are getting anything, ANYTHING decent and high quality when the prices are that low?

It's the farang's overriding sense of superiority which is distilled to a potent level on these hallowed pages.

The OP should just get a new SIM. Even better, get an eSIM. They are harder to lose.

This.

Y'all got that right.

Jealous? Of the likes of you? Say it isn't so. Please.

For the cynical? Their post count increases?

Well don't then. Sorted.

I just looked at the appointments in vientiane at the thai embassy...dozens of appointments available every day with the click of a button for all types of visas?? so what's the problem that u can't get an appointment The OP didn't say he couldn't get an appointment, he said that making an appointment means waiting for it. Last time I heard (and looked) around this time last year, the nearest appointment in Vientiane was over 2 weeks away. When I checked with HCMC in Vietnam, it was nearer 4 weeks wait for an open slot. Now go back (like you ever did look anyway) and check the appointments calendar and advise us what the FIRST AVAILABLE DATE is. Thanks for playing.

There's a whole lot of it about, especially on these hallowed pages.

Really? I honestly thought you were older than that. If you think the thread's a wind up, just stop reading it.

My understanding is that if you have never had dengue, the vaccine may make the symptoms suffered during your first infection more severe than they would be normally. Or they may not. I also understand that if you have had dengue previously, the vaccine will most likely make the symptoms more severe than what was experienced the first time. This is due to dengue having at least three known variants, and the vaccine's interaction with your own antibodies may not be beneficial if the dengue re-infection is by a different variant. I had dengue once and based on the above, I don't recommend it for my family members or myself.

I do not see anything in my Bangkok bank App to allow me to do this. On the landing page upon opening the banking app, left-hand side under 'Quick banking', there's a 'Top up' button. Once you have used it, it remembers the number you last topped up. If you want to top up a different number, reselect the carrier button rather than the 'remembered' top up button. If you have the AIS (or DTAC, or TRUE) account app installed on your phone, you can top-up from there. If you chose to top-up from there, it will launch a login to your banking app as above.

And your "reality" suggests that shop owners are those blowing a wad on this passing fad. The landlords RENT these shophouses to the dopes, so the dopes are the ones that lose money and go broke. The 'shop owners' are (still) laughing all the way to the bank. Same as they did when they rented the shop out as a bar, then an internet cafe, then a coffee shop, then a mobile phone shop, then a massage shop and now a weed shop. Sheesh...

Good point. I missed the 'Thaksin years' in that I was living and working elsewhere between 1990 and 2005. When I returned, I noticed a fair few long-timers, including some friends living and working here, railing about how anti-farang he and his successive administrations were. It's hardly surprising that maybe they still "don't like us" much. However, I'm not endorsing that claim that Prayuth was "the most expat friendly PM Thailand ever had". He simply put the big pan of boiling frogs on simmer.

They are not making near as much as the people in high places that are facilitating the easy entry to Thailand of the much sought after, higher quality weed from the US and elsewhere overseas.

no. That means Niet
