I always tip. Usually 40 baht. These people are making substandard wages. I couldn't live with myself if I failed to tip them something. They deserve it. If the waitress is old or ugly, I generally tip more.

Thanks, so much. That's the article I found originally. This sounds encouraging.

I noticed a brief article, which I seem to have misplaced, about ThaiPost getting into banking. Could someone shed more light on this development? I can't find much about it in English.

"Openly Jewish"??? I've never met any closeted Jews. What a revolting anti-semitic description.

Bring back "bad language". Is this forum composed of five-year olds? No censorship....EVER.

Hopefully there will be no banned words. The audience is not children. Let the profanities and obscenities flow freely.

You got me there. Love the food, hate the religion. 🙂

This can only be an improvement.

More guns. Bad news.

They now want copies for 90-Day reports. I've watched them shred the copies after you turn them in along with the TM-47.

Powerful video. I hope the right people are watching it.

It's hard to believe that Iran has not been reduced to rubble by now. They've been causing problems since the late seventies and the world just allows them to hold us all as hostages.

If he gets the visa in the UK, won't that be an "OA" with the onerous health insurance requirement? Seems best to go to Laos and apply for an "O" visa.

Actually, the 90-day reports serve the function of justifying the grossly inflated staffing at Immigration. Without this requirement, most of the staff would be sitting idle and have no papers to shuffle.

Every now and then, some Thai official asks "Why do we do this?" The recognition that certain information serves no valid purpose is a step in the right direction.

It's much more restricted in Cambodia.

Personal vendettas are a favourite Thai hobby. They want full credit for doing nothing.

Victimless crimes are serious business in Thailand. Just refrain from negative opinions on anything.

Hope you're right. Time will tell. I suppose it's too much to ask to have the whole scenario laid out before they implement it. A clear case of "READY-FIRE-AIM".

No Olde Brit should ever move to a country where he or she can't access the NHS. The greatest healthcare system in the world and I say that as an American. We envy you.

My agent is my Thai landlady. She has reliably gotten me an extension of stay every year for around 14 thousand baht.Lowest price I've seen. Of course she and her British husband own a number of condos in my building.

Pattaya. Lived here for nine years. Working-class beer drinker.

Struggling to STAY here, though my income is far above the required amount. 800 thousand baht in a bank account if impossible.For some strange reason, an income of nearly 100 thousand baht a month is just not enough for Immigration.

I find it strange that no anti-Gay posts are tolerated here, yet anti-Biden posts are welcome. Make up your mind what you stand for.

I vote a straight Democrat ticket. No one named Trump will EVER get my vote.
