Violent terrorist movement? I thought the yellows had quietened down.

People want to make their voices heard in a peaceful way and you have them hung, drawn and quartered as terrorists

Nice try again to rewrite history. The attacks on Abhisit during Black Songkran are documented. They were red attacks. The red movement is very violent. Telling the big lie a million times doesn't make the lie the Truth (Today).

Nice try from you also; how about the yellow shirts driving vehicles into a policeman, spearing the police with a sharp flag pole, shooting the police, and shooting at other protesters, kidnapping of police officer and beating him up, killing one of there own and stuffing his body in the airport....Please give me a break. This is not a lie it is all on film!!!!!!

I am not a Red shirt and I am not a Yellow shirt, but all of you opinionated Falangs need not to pick a side either, it is not your country and it is not your fight.

But the facts are neither of the colors should be allowed to do what they do and both groups should be answerable to the law and not be treated as a favorite son.

Our granddaughter, now seven months, was having problems that the local baby doc recommended lactose free milk.

The Isomil by Abbott labs is available at Tops and Tesco-Lotus, probably Villa, too, but we don't have such out here in the Rangsit area.

Don't know of baby formula helps with your Q, but go ahead and ask at the outlets if there's some other option.

Mac

I must be missing something. I don't see where the OP is looking for baby formula. I assumed she was looking for lactose free milk for adult consumption.

I am missing something too, isn't LACKASOY, or any type of Soy milk lacktose free??

I think the OP is talking about his Thailand Visa, which he is talking of the cost of the Visa through a Consulate or Embassy in the U.S.

If that is the case, a six (6), 180 day Visa with a 90 day validity is not renewed, you are required to leave the country and return, (a 1 day event) then you simply are stamped into Thailand by Immigration at the border and utilized the remaining 90 days. In either case both Visa's require re-entry visa's. The cost is different because with the 6 month you only require one re-entry and with the 1 year visa will require a multi re-entry as you must do this 4 times (exit and entry) to get full use of the 1 year visa.

It is elementary really, she does not get <deleted>, because 1). the funds became co-mingled with his in a illegal enterprise. 2). All the shares she SOLD to his Brother and siblings she actually paid for to them to pay them back. 3). All the interest and capital gains on the shares OWNED now by someone else went into her and Mr. T's accounts.

So all smoke and mirrors, and they should lose it all.

If you bankroll a Bank robbery and get caught; they court does not say we will give you back the money you spent to attempt this robbery. DO THEY :D

Is there nothing in this country that is not fake or a knock-off??? Even GT200's unbelievable

Sorry folks, sometimes you are to quick to write before you read. The op says

The above funds may be held in any permitted currency.Kindly adhere to the above as insufficient funds on arrival could result in refusal to enter Thailand.

Has been the requirement for many, many years.

In the Nation in the picture news there is a blurp about the Reds at the EC office on the complex, so it is probably that rally about the speedy up the Pad cases.

I have figured it out. They are testing the bomb detection devices and here is the proof

The country has 535 units of GT200 and most of them are being used by the army in the violence-plagued South. The price of each unit is 900,000 baht but it rises to 1.2 million baht if the package includes 21 chip cards. However, there have been suspicions that the detector may not work properly.

"Media members and spectators will not be allowed to witness the testing, as they could pressure the officials," Khunying Kalaya said after arriving at Pathum Thani's Science Park where the equipment will be tested.

She said C4 explosives will be randomly hidden during the experiment and it will be conducted 20 times. The test result will be submitted to Prime Minister Abhisit Vejjajiva at the cabinet meeting on Feb 26.

So no worries folks this is just a test.

The only relevant thing here is that 20 years in an U.S.A Federal Pen is better than a week- end in a Thai jail.

About 2 years ago there were several bars in Soi Cowboy had the game and food Live and Yes, at 6:30 A.M.

I have a permission to stay based on retirement that needs to renewed on 09 APR 2010 and my next 90 day report is 12 MAR 2010.

To simplify my question, do I have to go to my Immigration Office twice (once on the 12 MAR and again on 09 APR for my renewal) or can I do my renewal on the 12 th of MAR on that same date that I do my 90 day report?

Thank you in advance.

Use an Honorary Consulate. Call them up first and see exactly what they require. Some are more flexible than others. Than use FedX or UPS. Honorary Consulates contact info is on the Washington D.C. Thai Embassy web site, but not too easy to spot, but its there.

This man is right on. I have done it many times before I got my retirement. Call first, to insure what is needed NOW, I needed the application, a money order, Passport type photo, your Passport, a prepaid Fed-ex envelope pre addressed to you, all items inside another Fed-Ex envelope to the Honorary Consulate. And ask them for a Non O visa for 90 days or double entry for 180 days, the cost used to be 50.00 dollars or about 1,700 baht and there is no need to get an extension in Thailand for another 1,900 Baht.

I do not where you live in America, however I used the Consulate in Alabama.

Good luck, and have a safe trip.

Additionally tourist visas are still FREE (to boost tourism, supposedly) until March 2010

bit off topics, if i apply for this in march, will it be valid for may?

It is very possible, I have a friend that I took to Laos for his Tourist Visa on the 6th of Jan. and in the Visa it has a date of Enter before 5 April. So my calculations are if you get a Visa in the end of Feb or before 4 March your enter before date should be the end of May or the first of June. Hope this help.

I am confused, when you are talking about a 60 day tourist visa then a 30 day extension. Why not get a 180 day ( 6 month ) Non O visa at your home country before coming to Thailand. In the early 90's I did this several times. The six month visa is good for two 3 month sections, requiring you to exit the country and return. Which could be done at any land border or you could make a quick flight to Singapore for about the same cost of a land border run. Plus you already have the Non O in place incase you decide to stay and get a retirement visa.

This just more lies from the Thai and US Governments, the request was given to the Thai to get this plane because the US Spy Satellite showed the N. Koreans loading the plane. The the rest of the story is here:

Thailand 'Forced Plane Carrying N.Korean Arms to Land'

A Georgian cargo plane carrying North Korean weapons was not impounded in Thailand during a refueling stop, as previously believed, but was forced to land by fighter planes after it entered Thai airspace, the influential Russian daily Kommersant reported Thursday.

The Ilyushin Il-76 left Pyongyang on Dec. 12. The moment it entered Thai airspace, two Thai fighters on standby ordered it to land at Don Mueang Airport in Bangkok based on a tip-off from a foreign intelligence agency, the daily said.

The Thai government announced that the plane was impounded after it landed for refueling and checks of wheels and tires. The news suggests that the cargo plane, which was attempting to carry North Korean weapons to a foreign country in disregard of a UN embargo, was stopped in Thai airspace before it could proceed to a scheduled refueling stop to Sri Lanka.

Thai daily The Nation said that an English-language weapons manual was discovered in the process of checking the North Korean arms. There is speculation that the weapons might not have originated from North Korea, the daily added.

According to Thai law, the five crewmembers face a sentence between two years in jail and death depending on whether they were attempting to deliver the weapons to a war zone.

Thailand, to be the HUB of Nostalgia in Asia :D

Why disrupt the peace... Stay home Mr. Abhisit! Please.

And toady to the criminal element of CM. No way, he should go mob-handed and crack any heads that cause trouble. As the leader of Thailand he should be free to travel where ever in safety and not be threatened with violent acts by anyone whatever their political views.

I don't want to sound like a broken record, however, I seem to remember about 1 year ago when the PM (Somchai) could not land his plane in Bangkok because of the YELLOW SHIRTS.

What needs to happen is the Police need to enforce of the law against each an everyone that incites unruly and illegal actions. And if there are not any laws on the books, then make some. And get rid of the my pen lie attitudes.

While I am all for protesting and airing grievances, it mush be done in such away that does not harm and must not damage others lives, ie working, schools etc.

I am glad a forum about the lottery has surfaced, this is about the lottery, but not about the OP. My question is. If it is a National Lottery and the tickets are 40 Baht each, why is it that I can not buy one ticket for less than 110 Baht. It seems to me that the government should regulate the price and the sales. In Tesco-Lotus I was asked for 600 Baht for group of 5 tickets, that should have been 400 Baht, instead it was 600 Baht...a 66.66% mark up over the printed price.

If I am not mistaken, the rule regarding a criminal record is pertaining to a offense higher to a magnetometer. One was need to actually have been charged with a jail offense. Not one like a traffic fine. The OP did not state the offense, but only it was a fine not paid?? So speculation is unwarranted.

Hun Sen exports his brand of poltics employed regularly in his country to a neighbour. His speech is beyond diplomatic language - a comparison of the Thai extradition request and the Cambodianm response shows Cambiodia wants to use common or street language while Thailand wants to use diplomatic/legal language. Thailand is playing to an international audience right now and Cambodia to their local one and possibly Thaksin's base. With Abhisit due to play an important role in a meeting with Obama in the next few days Thailand will not change tact but just resubmit the request in diplomatic language. With Hun Sen and Thaksin both wanting to embarrass or upstage Abhisit's moment they will keep to common parlance. A question remains as to how far people want to push things to wreck Abhisit's moment in the sun which no doubt Thaksin also thinks shouiild have been his. Interesting that Cambodia is adding almost verbatim red leader talking points into its releases and responses. Realpolitik.

After the Obama meeting Thailand could change tack a bit.

I would just like to remind you all about the Foreign Minister Kasit, when during the Airport closure "did he or did he not say something like "I will wash my feet with the blood of Hun Sen. (VERY DIPLOMATIC and VERY STREET LANGUAGE) At the end you get what you serve. Tom Die, De Die---Tom Chua, Die Chua.

It appears that unless a cause of death is blatantly obvious to the police and if in the event of a murder the perpetrator doesn’t give him/her self up or is easily caught, than the Thai authorities will not fund the amounts required to provide for a detailed investigation to a cause of death or the capture of the murderers.

Yes, I agree makes be remember the case of a few months ago about the German Engineer that was blown apart in a Rubber tree plantation by what was frist reported that he was blown up by C-4, then it was it was a grenade, then it was suicide from a granade that he was so distraught to drive from Bangkok to a place outside Pattaya in his BMW to take his life by straping a granade on his body and blowing up his upper torso. So unbelievable Thailand.

Here I am confused again, I don't see the logic. The P.M. Sacks the Chief who has already retired??? How do you fire a person that is not actively employed?????

Plus, I am so very tired of reading your one sided view of life and events. I pray for you to see life and actions with clarity.

While, as far as there is no law governing crowd control and one has a group of crazed and misled and listening to rhetoric from the likes of the PAD 7 to commit unrest and mayhem and not following the orders on authority. If you (PAD) step into that realm then you get all you deserve, injuries, death and the like. The courts are trying the wrong people and sooner or later the PAD will get their own type of justice placed on them and executed for their unsavory actions.

Yes, they now have elected a criminal so I guess Thaksin can come back home now and get his premiership back after a three year wait. This place is not Unseen Thailand...It Is Unbelievable Thailand
