Another requirement aimed solely at irritating the farang. If they can't find you with only an address, their law-enforcement qualifications are highly suspect.

I can assure you that it is NOT. Have a beer instead.

My agent is doing it for 2000 baht. At least I know it will be done right. The only reason I am using the agent is the possibility that they may ask to see my bank balance. The agent deposits the required money and then withdraws it. I suppose 2000 baht is worth avoiding a hassle at Immigration over a bank balance that I don't have.

I should have mentioned that I am also 73 years old and have not smoked continuously since I was in my twenties and thirties. There are lots of things that old men can no longer tolerate. Weed may be among them.

Does anyone know what the timeframe would be for transferring information from the old passport to the new one? I asked my agent and he seemed to think I could wait until October when I renew my extension of stay. That seems like a long time to carry two passports around. I couldn't nail him down on a price for this service. My landlady's son is the agent that does my extension of stay every year so the lines of communication are usually pretty good. October seems like a long time. Just asking.

I have smoked weed many times in the United States. The weed I have tried here in Thailand is too strong. Three tokes and my brain quits working. To some, that may not be a bad thing but I like to hang on to a bit of reality even while smoking weed. Why the Hell is the cannabis here like a sledgehammer???

Bravo, Joe!!!

The same could be said of North Korea. Let those folks alone so they can abuse their people.

The problem is that this kind of action means a lot of innocent Thai people will die. This is exactly how civil wars start. Is it worth it? It's easy for those of us from countries like the UK and USA to say "rise up", but it's another thing entirely when it actually happens, I don't want to see bloodshed and probably, neither do you.

The Constitutional Court would appear to be anything but impartial.

Nobody wants higher taxes, even the ones who can easily afford it. They are also the ones who can buy off enough politicians to insure that never happens. I wouldn't look for any increase in taxes on the wealthy.

Even Trump's death would not change the fact that he has millions of supporters. Truly frightening.

Big Joke is only concerned about farangs in Thailand because everyone knows they are the reason that Thailand is not Utopia

Normally, you don't haggle with doctors and dentists in first-world countries. Thailand should be much cheaper. What made you think that offering your dentist half would get the work done? I got an estimate for a crown for 3000 USD in the United States. I got the work done in Colombia for 500 USD.

This possibility would kill my chances of updating my passport information. I use an agent and do not maintain a bank balance. "The best laid plans etc"

Because anti-semitism and race-baiting never seem to go out of style. There are still crypto-nazis around who believe that Jews are a "race" rather than an "ethnicity".

I got an Electrolux Kettle at Big C. It has lasted for eight years now. Automatic shut off. I think the price was about 1000 baht.

I try to explain this to most expats and their eyes cross. Time is money. I would rather pay more and save myself a hassle.

Defamation is almost as dangerous as LM. No criticism of anything Thai is allowed.

One of the British legal offices is charging 10 thousand baht for. the same service. The owner is really rude and does not seem to like "Yanks". Hey, I wasn't asking for anything but information based on a post that I saw here. Not sure why many Brits don't like us, we don't have any control over what Washington does. LOL. Get a clue.

The US Embassy website was worthless. I kept getting thrown into endless loops and couldn't get out (or pay). It is an absolute garbage can of a system, but I'm glad that it worked for you.

I have recently received a new USA passport, What needs to be done to transfer extension of stay and other information from the old passport to the new one??? Is there a standard form used for this purpose? Information appreciated. I used the Pattaya office of Integrity Legal for passport renewal. The cost was just over 5300 baht, which is a savings over another legal office that was mentioned on this forum.

Why chance it??? They can't even make up their minds if it's legal or not. It wouldn't surprise me if they made an example out of someone like you. Leave the dope at home and buy it locally.

...and stupid. There are other ways. There are some things about sex that I do NOT understand. Celibacy is far better than prison.

The government determines what law enforcement will be like in any country. In Thailand, simian government engenders simian LEO. Ain't it GRAND?????
