Thinking of giving up the big bike this year at 55, I don't bounce so well anymore, and the idiot drivers here are getting more dangerous by the day. Too many close calls with motorcycles and cars passing, not caring that you are travelling in the opposing lane. That and I don't like having motorcycles/cars passing me in the same lane either, I want the whole lane for any emergency maneuvers needed, especially when I am leaned over in a corner.

Nope, I will always have an out, not taking any chances on Thailand, I've learned my lesson here, never trust this place or anyone in it.

Some of us have always looked at this as a temporary place to stay, even though I have been here going on 8 years now, there is no way I will cutoff all connection to my home country, especially knowing that Thailand looks at us as nothing more than ATM's.

I am tempted by the 35.85 USD/BHT right now, but I am holding off any transfers until 2025, must have patience.....must have willpower!

I'm interest in what it looks like, I was under the impression that it would be a copy of the same Receipt Confirmation I get at the Immigration Office. They used to rip the bottom part off of the TM47 form and stamp it, but now they have a whole new receipt confirmation printing system that includes a barcode.

Is the next date not printed on the Receipt? The one I get from the immigration office has it printed right on it.

In the case of violent behavior or outright murder, yes.

Like father, like son....I am sure their Dads are proud of their behavior.

What exactly is the purpose of online 90 day reporting? At least in person, they know where you are, right in front of them. I could be at the North Pole and sign in to do a 90 day report, which defeats the purpose of even having a 90 day report. So why build an online system to handle it? Just get rid of it completely.

Other than yearly bank statement for extensions, everything else I do is via their app.

The children learn from the culture of their parents, it's Thai culture that's the problem. Start by ending the perverted Thai form of Buddhism, install a respected police force (one that actually enforces laws, not breaks them), and create a better educational system for all (not just the rich).

Until they have a system that generates the acceptance and receipt instantly, I'll continue to just go into my local immigration office for 90 day reporting.

My bank account is linked to my Pink ID card.

Well, Thai's in general don't follow any laws, regulations, or rules.....so why stop the status quo?

It feels like I've heard this before. Yup, I think I have, the eternal state of Thai Deja Vu.

Every year, the same thing, like clockwork.

When I flew here 7 years ago on a Non-O (Spousal), I flew in on a one-way ticket, nobody questioned it.

Paroled?! So he is being paroled from his 5 star RTP Hospital Suite to his mansion? The poor soul......all Heil the second coming of our Emperor Thaksin, bow peasants!

You hit the nail on the head, until this changes, nothing changes.

I can see where this is going, the US also has huge deposits, but environmental laws will probably never allow it to be dug up, and they currently rely on an enemy (China) to get their fix. Now we hear of deposits in Thailand, where regulations and laws can be circumvented with a brown envelope, expect the US to come knocking. Hey, at least if it's dug up in a country that could care less about it's environment, then the US can claim the high ground. Let the poisoning and exploitation of the poor commence.

With Thailand's safety record, and it's lack of enforcement of laws, regulation, and rules....Who in their right mind would trust their lives anywhere near a fireworks facility here?

There, fixed it for you.

They are probably more in shock than anything else, witnessing the most incompetent, poorly trained, corrupt police force on the planet Earth.

Oh look, the first Antisemitic post of the day, congratulations!

This is Thailand, there is no hope, there are just sheep that need to be herded.
