As I understand the procedure members of the various teams that work on such projects, get results simultaneously so as to avoid individual claims. So yes, seems like Thai Press spinning things a bit. 

It was written about in Space magazine about 2 weeks ago. I am sure it was a team endeavor.

Your LAST date of entry

Thank you. I know I am overthinking it, but over the years I have been hammered with not getting Visa and Extensions mixed up.

I am never sure what it is that they want on this form. First some background.

I got a 90 day non-imm o e-visa granted Oct 06 2022

Arrived Nov 13, 2023

A year extension on  Feb 10, 2023

Flew out on May 9 2023

Returned Nov 2, 2023

On the application, after they ask the type of "VISA", they ask when did you arrive. Do they want the date of my first arrival, or when I returned last? My guess is that they want the dates of my last trip that was on the extension.

90k? Are you sure?

oops, 90lb. More rumor--- Police have a video of the husband climbing over the back wall or climbing in the window from neighbor's cam.

The rumor mill--- A few days after she disappeared. Her new husband left for Phuket, with a backpack and a suitcase and returned a couple of days later without the suitcase. She weighed around 90k. so was quite small.

All the bad stuff that young people seem to be doing, comes from YouTube....

Boys have been boys long before YouTube. Ever watch "The Little Rascals"? I bet even you took off your bowtie once in a while and have a story to tell.

Same, Same, but different

The link works and Thanks. I have had it since my late 50s. Most of the time I don't notice it, but it does seem to be getting louder now that I am in my late 70's. I find it gets worse if I have been wearing headphones for a long period.

Next they planned to stop at a restaurant and have lunch for free then maybe over for a free beer or two then a free massage....WHAT?  you have to pay for all this stuff?  What kind of place is this. It is not fair.  How do you spell DUMB.

I thought it was in the price of the tourist visa!

Start all over again.

One year I had turned in all the paperwork and was in consideration, but had to leave the country for three months before I could get the final. Had to start over.

Ah, I get your meaning now...  you meant, a bike that is not flashy enough to get mugged for because your friend was mugged and killed for a bicycle. 

 

 

Found shot dead on the mountain road between Oaxaca and the coast. Still had his wallet and the money in it. The only thing missing was his expensive touring bike.

Sorry for your loss... But, how is this relevant ?

I lost a friend in a car crash in the UK years ago, which carries an equal degree of irrelevance to this topic. 

 

Careful crossing the road in Thailand... etc etc...  we can't all be scared of 'the worst possible outcome', there would be no adventure left in any of us.

 

I for one admire anyone who wishes to undertake such a trip, I'd love to do so but am constrained by family and work commitments. 

Car accidents or crossing roads is not the same as being killed because someone wants what you are riding on. Yes, life is a risk, but it is best not to be walking around a ghetto wearing gold chains unless you have a lot of friends there. Sticking to the main roads, I guess not much trouble. Riding alone on "The roads less traveled" can be risky.

No idea where in thailand sorry but easy to find in Oz... B)

I have seen them in one of the big box stores, my guess would be HomePro. I wanted to add that they are not very good if pumping water from a pond or well. The porous material clogs up over time.

Surely one that someone won't think they need more than you. Sorry for the negativity, I lost a friend in another country for his pedal bike.

I had a buddy was in the US Navy, stationed in southern California.  Not at all uncommon that his fellow seamen brought back Filipino wives.  When the guys ship out, their wives are staying with their boyfriends before hubby's ship clears the horizon.  He said they take good care of you too, cooking, housekeeping, and of course giving the man what he wants.

If you have a preference for East Asian women maybe you should check out Japan, a country that does not have that Third World desperation.

 

Not just Filipino wives. It was always quiet in enlisted housing for a couple of weeks and then all hell would break loose. Com Pac wives. Many a divorce, when the boys came home.

Too high-brow for me. This is about as classical as I get.

She works all week and then has to travel home. It doesn't say what he is doing. It might be more relaxing if she came home less often,
