What an utter waste of 5 

minutes of life reading this complete drivel. Ouch the mirror of an extremely courteous van driver was hurt by a nasty violent out of control Australian criminal. In what universe does that constitute any kind of news??? ????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????

A universe without 5 million emojis.

Crude comments so far. This was a serious battery, not a joke.

Totally agree. It's when these very serious crimes happen that you can identify those who are shameful and shameless members of the human race. 

Thanks for being a supportive friend and being there in these difficult times. Best additional help you could offer here is to write to IRCC in Ottawa and the Canadian Embassy of this consequence of their negligence and irresponsibility. This is what happens when you are a citizen of a country whose embassy staff spend half of their time drowning their pancakes with that disgusting syrup they harvest from Maple trees.

Very grateful for the regimental Ordnung of my country's embassy in Silom. Passports there always arrive punctually from the Bundesdruckerei in Berlin.

So how is the visitor advised of their valid length of stay?

 

Before copy and pasting from Wiki you should have read the rest which confirmed that a landing slip with 'permission to stay until' date is provided.  My question to which you just responded contained reference to that notification.

Which countries do not stamp a permission to stay date in foreigner visitors passports or provide a notification of the validity of stay until date?

Won't argue. Responded to one of your two questions. The "or" gave me an option to respond to either of the two, regardless of whether I copied/pasted it from Wiki or the South Park Tribune or searched it on Boogle.

Ach Mann, Stress ohne Ende.  I'm too tired for this. Have a pleasant Chakri day 

Locals and their scam strategies.

i closed mine, far from flawless 

Mine works flawlessly. I transfer funds from my DKB account in Berlin to Revolut and never had issues from day 1 of having the account. I also top it up with my Miles & More card, earning me miles for such transactions.

If it doesn't work flawlessly for others, there must be a reason. Money launderers come to my mind. Fraudsters hiding here in Thailand. Dodgy/fishy source of funds. 

Get a Revolut account. Works flawlessly.

Meanwhile, local primate specialists and conservationists have identified a window of opportunity here and are now frantically scouring the Thai Criminal Code for something/anything to legally bamboozle the Aussie. Dire times call for dire measures.

Why immigration police was involved?

in case either was a farang disguised as thai

There are certain people, albeit not that many, who can make a life-changing difference in this young man's life via their banking app or with a single stroke of a pen. For some, it won't even make a dent in their disposable income, let alone their ROI.

If I had enough financial reserves to last me a hypothetical two lifetimes, I wouldn't hesitate to cover all costs.

Yeah to be clear I would never want to abandon my kid and cut contact with her. Even just sending money isn't being a good dad. But the reality is that I chose the wrong path in life and sucking it up is edging me towards the darker thoughts about whether life is worth it or not.

 

A big part of it relates to my restlessness and inability to live in one place... I'm always wanting to travel solo and see the world and that's not compatible with being a family man. I know there are many happy relationships in which the father works abroad for long periods but my situation is somewhat different...I can't justify taking off every few months for a couple of weeks to travel. 

I can definitely relate to that. You're not alone. 

That unbreakable and inescapable vicious cycle of envy, greed and poverty.

If push came to shove I can see giving up my US citizenship.

Oh the joys of applying for visas for travel to most first world countries. A once in a lifetime experience. Moments to cherish and treasure.

Seriously, don't.

Those wannabes cops/gods probably thought they had the upper hand. Good thing he lawyered up and took the matter a notch or notches higher. Well done.

Strict departure formalities for locals. Even those with US and Schengen visas are not spared. They are fiercely protecting Uncle Sam's coveted Tier 1 designation on that annual TIP Report. The rest of ASEAN are woefully wanting in this respect.

Meanwhile, a team from Burkina Faso bagged gold medals in alpine skiing.

Don't get into ideas. Reserved occupation. No touching, no testing, no tasting. For locals only.

Brouhaha of the year

Endless drama and brawls. Thankfully i'm returning to Germany for good later this year. Sorely missing the peace and quiet of my Dorf in Rheinland Pfalz.
