I first thought it was a common steel-gold Rolex Daytona. But considering the ca$h flow on the gentleman, a Patek would obvisouly be the preferred model.

A Daytona 

With those sub dials!

Following this with interest as currently only have one way ticket outbound in October

That rules how the suggestions from some of not bothering with a tourist visa and just taking the 30 day visa exempt entry and subsequently extending it

That will require a ticket out of Thailand at 30 day point or before (pre check in back initially in uk

 

Ohh for the days of a simple application form sent to Cardiff including passport and postal order (they didnt take cheques if you remember lol)

 

Internet age progress my backside

 

I cant even print off Thai account balance which is 70% of the equivalaent £10,000 anyway because cant access the account online since SCB made changes !

 

The irony is not lost on me lol

Which is why God created 'rent a tickets' (https://onewayfly.com/   and countless others)

Ahh yes the grand old days of yearly Non Imm -O's on tap from Cardiff (and other consulates) - simpler times.

BTW its never about progress only control and oppression

It’s not 10K for a Visa now. It’s a phishing scam

 

also don’t send a Thai bank statement when applying for a Visa in the UK. That will set off a lot of red flags. Why would a UK resident have a Thai bank account if they were just a tourist for a few weeks?

Perverse thinking

Why do tourists own holiday homes in destinations they like?

Apparently, the very best use for a human body would be to make fertiliser pellets. It's done with animals. However, I understand that ethical reasons prevent humans being processed in this way. 

Soylent Green was a better idea

I did a bit of research on that ... 

both are bad for the environment it seems, so they're coming up with new ways. 

 

there is actually a "green funeral company" in the UK.

Burial uses too much land; cremation releases too much CO₂. So what about composting our loved ones – or even dissolving them?

 

 

Sky burial maybe

What is the tipping practice in Thailand ?

After years of observation it boils down to this:

If you have no facility to burn household waste after nightfall, then you take it and anything else to tip to any expanse of open roadside land and tip it there (after dark) along with the already accumulated piles of c rap

In my experience usually only a couple hundred baht per gram.Of course it all depends on the market price for that day and time.

per Baht surely

Its like an extension of Rock, Paper, Scissors

Major calibre pistol always beats masking tape

Seems a simple resolution would be spare the pets and slaughter the complainants

My last trip was exactly sixty days and I got a visa - far easier to sit on my computer at home for a while than to lose half a day of my holiday travelling to immigration, queueing, maybe not having all of the correct documents, the IO may be having a bad day, etc.

T'is why God created agents

Far more onerous pizzing about uploading everything but a note from your mum to placate whatever perverse requirements are currently dreamt up

Read very good!!

 

You must declare cash of £10,000 or more to UK customs 

 

Meaning you must declare STARTING from 10 000 ...so 9999 no declaration needed....

 

Same "confusion trick " in Europe ,dont give costoms a chance ????

 

You can find yourself just as compromised having to explain a legitimate source for far more paltry sums to UK customs (£1K and up) baggage check/xray staff are given a daily threshold amount to notify customs

How about being just a tiny bit more user friendly???

 

Just finished applying for e visa tourist visa online:

 

Took me approximately 5 ++ hours to do it...take and then try and download this pic and that pic and it won't work...then it says oh that pic of you may not be acceptable...took and downloaded 6 different pics of me standing against solid white wall and it says no good....then not sure how you are suppose to download pages of your passports with all the stamps from past year which cover different pages in passport but u can only down load one  pic of one page?

 

  and of course flights, bank statements, pics of me holding my passport, drivers license, and then of course is a declaration form that must be signed but you can't sign online and since no printer have to go somewhere and  get it printed, sign and then take a pic to download (unless you want to find a site that lets you convert and sign online which is also a pain in the butt.....and on and on and on...and nearly everytime you have to leave the site to get another pic out of a file it kicks you off then you get to go through all the sign on, password, captiva etc to get back then click next next next to get back to where you were..

 

Good think i really want to return to thailand or i would have said forget it....absurdly non user friendly site...whoever created this site is a sadist.

 

I did same gyrations last year and far as i can remember they have not fixed one single glitch or made any attempt to make it more user friendly....

Surprises me why you dont also have to upload a 'note from your mum'

(maybe I should have whispered that lest some TAT fѠkwit gets wind of the idea and runs with it)

Poor show, at least disclose the reg # so was can get the inside track on the fortuitous lottery numbers
