  1. I can see her legs in the article? Are you sure it wasnt the tiling or plumbing they wanted to film?
  2. Yes a Swedish friend of a friend died in jail about 3 weeks ago because he ran out of medication for a pre exixting health problem. He had no money for meds so they let him die. "Theres a dead skunk in the middle of the road and its stinking to high heaven!"
  3. We have had 3, start from scratch, new temples built here in the last 5 years. The local fetish seems to have changed from who's bank has a new Isuzu pick up in your driveway to who's moo ban has the biggest and best temple? Its no wonder they always have their hands out. These are only small villages, small population, its all out of whack. But this is also Isaan where you cant eat chicken if you have a bad back unless its a Tuesday and where lots of nasty spirits get around always up to mischief..........................so Im told?
  4. "Ok everybody run around, look busy, ask alot of questions, set somebody up, take photos, dont smile at the cameras, stand rigidly to attention hands clasped at your side. The media will only be around a day or two till its all quickly forgotten and then we can get back to our 'collections'."
  5. No, they have been under pressure from above after the problem with some corrupt officers helping chinese 'businessmen' with visas hit the news. We go to an office whose applications are approved by Khon Kaen. We had difficulty explaining the bank letter to the teller so called the imm office who told us to come to the office before we did anything so he could check our documents. I have been doing extensions for 10 years and have it all off pat, never a problem. In the officwe it was obvious there had been a reshuffle. New front man, old one down the back. This new guy was fussy, the pics werent right, wrong angle, more of the house, the house number must be solid ie made from steel or wood, map must show from our front door to the Imm office door, the bank letter was different from before and included what looked like what somebody else said, a statement. A pain in the butt however we got the distinct feeling this guy was not being a pain but following orders, he couldnt have been more helpful. Considering our experience and that of the OP I would strongly suggest anybody doing a visa renewal up KK way should ring their Imm office to check for any new requirements before going.
  6. yes but only because he couldnt say "sustainable economic development" without stuttering on TV.
  7. Is it also owned by Fox coz thats what they would say, well they all would wouldnt they ?
  8. In Thailand there are no definitive answers because often it is different from office/r to office/r so there can only be opinions of which way it can go, I believe.
  9. Thats nothing, next year they are putting out tenders for the procurement of snow ploughs (with engines).
  10. Tomorrow? Is that enough time for them to get together and get their story straIght? Why not snail mail the summons to give them more time.
  11. What is so hard to believe about your post that some fruitcake has to laugh (emoji)? Good thing hes not next door.
  12. I would imagine that is all they could say if the allegations are true, thats how the mafia works?? lol!
  13. I am sure there will be police on hand to press these new requirements........not! It will just be one more set of laws that wont be policed like as you say, the price of the lottery.
  14. So long as they can salute, bow and polish shoes they will get along just fine.
  15. PM Vows to Crackdown on Corruption "Hey Sret, you want that playing at 33 or 45 rpm?"
  16. Every Thai that comes to my place seems to always leave with a bag of food lol.
  17. I do hope she will be filling the media daily with err, interesting, arrival projections and estimates......................its so exciting!
  18. It could be lack of education but I believe its greed blinding many. For example I met a girl working in an eatery near Udon Thani who told me of a Nigerian she met online who was arriving in the near future but wanted to send his luggage first. It was like she was telling me a joke but didnt get the punch line herself. My wife and I tried to warn her of the consequences and chances of something going wrong but she would not here of it, she seemed to have taken the hook plus the line and sinker. Next time we went that way the eatery was gone so no idea of the outcome.
