  1. If he appears to Airline agents like he can't make it, able to sit upright taking care of himself, it might not be allowed. Get a fit to fly with assistance (the daughter escort) certificate from a Doctor and no problems. Book business class
  2. CAREFUL Like the TDAC sites that emerged There is a FBAR site, what is actually a paid service that comes out on top of google searches. Beware of .us vs .gov. The web form looks real good, until it asks to upload photo ID and credit card. $327 for a what is a free government report. These thieves probably just harvest data of those scammed to be sold to third parties and file nothing! See screenshot
  3. The problem with British Comedy is they don't do Irony or Sarcasm Just over the top slapstick, and parody. Monty Python was brilliant though especially the naughty bits. Imagine seeing this as a little kid in US on newly launched "cable TV" The Topless Newsagent (Flying Circus): In Season 1, Episode 6, a topless newsagent (played by Sheila Sands) works in a shop, acting as if her state of dress is entirely mundane, while characters interact with her without breaking character.
  4. Once I was watching one of those old Samurai movies, maybe it was Kurosawa. One of the characters was dying, can't remember if from battle or sickness. The subtitle read "But, I have not had my fill of liquor and dancing girls" I
  5. Maybe this is it. Authorities determined 60 days did not increase tourism at all but gives malefactors more time to operate without hassle. It is a shame because I don't think many aged Westerners in particular are coming to Thailand to make mule account fraud, prostitute themselves on lower Suk or sell drugs but the retired who want to Snowbird the whole winter away in Thailand can still apply for a tourist visa then do the 30 day extension.
  6. So instead of 800k in dead money sitting Thai bank I can now qualify for a one year extension based on purchasing another Condo priced at least 3M Baht at time of purchase? I just saw some curios article on another online Thai site showing Phuket officials claiming this was too low and would attract riff raff and criminal activity.
  7. That is true. But more criminals have long rap sheets back home and never be allowed in Thailand in the first place.
  8. Vast savings? Next time OP apply for non-O online. Easy. You will have 90 days. Open Bank account. Then do one year extension of stay. Visa exempt is for the birds.
  9. The thought is to be helpful. But this confused dullard was quite likely to be a person like you, apt to respond with some predictable and pretentious discourtesy.
  10. The moment he kicked the tail light he should have been arrested, would have saved his life. ICE just drove away. I do think there was something wrong with this guy and he was a time bomb on the edge of committing a serious criminal act, with that piece of his. But when he was executed he was doing nothing illegal.
  11. The title of the post regards tourists not alcoholics. A majority come from countries that do not have multiple "Buddhist holidays" and one election after another. One or two years ago I saw a foreign lady filling her basket in BigC Extra during the 2-5PM period. Obviously avoided the signs and went behind the ropes to enter the huge alcohol zone. I almost said something, decided to either mind my own business or allow auntie to discover the unique contradictions of Thailand on her own.
  12. Of course not. Sure others will come here to argue that Israel would have found another excuse to steal territory. But if the sensible thing was done, accepting their new neighbors side by side in peace, and there had not been a war instigated by 4 or 5 Arab armies the indigenous inhabitants would be sitting there in the West Bank completely secure under the Jordanian flag or another Arab sovereign flag of some sort.
  13. Good luck with that. Obviously there are still irrelevant anti-semites in USA 🫵 MAGA is completely pro- Jewish and Trump is the greatest friend Israel has ever had in government anywhere in the world where if there is still another safe country it is the USA. We will see how many UK Jews vote with their feet and take up asylum claims with the US Dept. of State.
  14. I'm here to enjoy info about expat life in Thailand not get on these political debates. But since there are so many people who think Jews should get out of UK. A community who have lived there for thousand years. A UK until which until recently has a reputation for religious tolerance in modern history. Well maybe that's just another reason for good or bad why the world needs an Israel. Which might not be forever but will outlast all others in the region, even if only for a brief time after their enemies big cities are reduced to smoking holes in the desert. Backed 100 percent by the US militarily and, please look up the "Samson Option".
