  1. How much is too much? These:
  2. Another issue is security,. as I pointed out to an acquaintance with just such a build after the multi lock point doors and widow grills etc were fitted. He was bemused when I told him anyone with a lump hammer can walk up & come in through the wall of his choosing.
  3. ??? Of course, and presumably all my prior entries into/out of Thailand - as they have been to every other I.O. I've presented to in the past - without issue. The new passport was a throw-a-way response to the preceding post. The underlying issue to it all is how does changing horses from all those prior Visas to now just using Visa Exempts (albeit the dizzy heights of now having had two of them - four months apart) merit such surprising attention.
  4. So was probably an overly enthusiastic description then
  5. C'est ca in a nutshell And indeed due to the fast expiring passport, next trip I will be equipped with a pristine new unused one. (Yours truly will henceforth be avoiding any immigration queues leading to a stamp wielder devoid of 'Y' chromosome).
  6. Background I've been coming to Thailand as a tourist for over two decades (30 day exempts, TV's and a few Non 'O' back in the days of getting them over the counter at consulates). My current 10 year Passport is drawing to a close in a few months time and will need renewing. It contains 7 or 8 years worth of TVs at 3 or 4 trips a year of just under 45days (the per trip maxima of my yearly insurance). Never previously had any 'interaction' with immo save for the mechanics of being stamped in/out. In view of the trumpet blowing in media sources proclaiming basically TVs now superseded by the forthcoming 45 day (extendable) exempts I fear the memo isn't being got at the front line. I have since the C-19 debacle cleared had one prior 30day exempt in March (extended to 60 days) as achieving my 45 day routine is now more sanely secured now this way rather than the on line hoop jumping for a TV. I landed today to the repeat the process. The interlude with the female harridan immo officer went like this after she flipped the passport pages: "You come to Thailand a lot" "hardly, this is the second trip in just on three years" She silently pawing the old visa collection "and those accumulated in the preceding seven years" "why didnt you get a visa?" "they're now too much trouble, for what I need this is much easier" I'll add here that I'm familiar with the many gambits trotted out by immigration ???? "how long are you staying this trip?" "I haven't decided, maybe 40 days, if so I'll get an extension like last time" "Last time you stayed two months!!" "Yes - I hadn't travelled for over two years" "have you got a Thai wife?" (seriously! I was for a moment though tempted to say I was flattered by the offer ????) "No, just an early retirement the desire to vacation here and the time and money to do so several times a year" "Next time you will get a visa" "No, next time will be after the 1st October - I wont need any extensions or visas as you will be stamping the new 45 days visa exemption into my passport" Stamped in 30days exempt with no further clever retort only her best snarl
  7. So boyfriend is an international drug dealer of a lifetime's experience (since 2y.o. sic) and he's having shipments sent to his abode to be signed for
  8. Obvious really because there was a pair of them
  9. Fascino is the biggest player, their flagship store is on North Pattaya Road If going there too onerous give them a call +66 33 046 118
  10. I'll drink to that ????
  11. Surely as a bona fide Thai school teacher she would have more properly humiliated the child by hacking his hair off or indeed beating him with a shoe or similar - instead of wasting her valuable day and stationery in this way.
  12. Same here as anywhere else, Gun control only impacts control over society's conformatons - all others by nature exempt themselves.
  13. Honestly just have 3,5,7 or better still 9 monks around to bless it simples
  14. Is it 1M฿ held overseas in THB to be repatriated into LOS or merely the foreign equivalent of 1M฿ to be brought into Thailand and exchanged? OP doesn't hint as to end use (some things might need to show originated outside Thailand) or country of origin. If its just money to pi55 away in Thailand then handballing declared cash as already said is the way to go - If you hail from Switzerland you could accomplish it with a mere twenty odd banknotes (1M฿ in Thai cash is quite a brick of paper)
  15. From my experience, it doesn't What can and does happen (and happened to me) is that some time in after lens replacement the capsule its in deteriorates at the rear and requires an aperture to be made by a simple laser treatment. See here: Posterior capsule opacification
  16. I got there before the event finished He agreed to sell me a 'mermaid' and asked if I wanted an aquarium didn't realise star signs were a option ????
