Seems like some of the replies need a VPN, which tells me maybe not legal?

Getting tired of True Vision, for many reasons.

Is there any legal (paid for) ways to watch football streamed from the internet when I am in Thailand?

Or am I forced to watch it via True Vision?

Note, I am NOT interesting in streaming sites where I would need a VPN.

Top of my head, if they would monitor the criticisms of the Junta many of us do, or slagging off the locals and Thai stuff in general.

It might be an issue?

Again, I guess the ones who can answer that will be ThaiVisa.

I read online The Nation has been bought up by a so called ultra conservative news agency.

T News, an ardently ultra-royalist and pro-junta on both the editorial page and its daily coverage???

If this is the case, will this have an impact on this Forum? After all, we sometimes can be a bit too......well we know.

So my posting and mentioning is forbidden? OK, I cancel my LIKE on your Posting!  Satisfied? 

Forbidden? Of course not. We just disagree.

Yes you can, but the main issue here, let me scroll up......yes....... is that we discuss Tripadvisor!

TripAdvisor has grown too big for them-self and they seem to have issues organizing all their traffic.

Lots of pending issues, no reply on e-mails, no help, while one still can post reviews.

Kind of  left hand is not up to what right hand is doing.

The post seems a bit recirculated. 

Have read these things quite a few times already.

You came to Thailand for peace and quiet?...... Hilarious

Someone wants to have some quiet time in the morning, in a paid for hotel, and you mock him?

All sites, yes absolutely ALL SITES who rate the hotels and are involved in some way of selling or advertising for them, are adding an extra star.

This is nothing new, as they will try to select not too many poor reviews which might downgrade the hotel they try to promote.

Always prepare for at least a star less than expected.

Yes, i noticed that even in 5 star hotels in Thailand the stewardess are either yelling to each other from one end of the corridor, to the other, starting 6 am. or they use their God damn walkie talkies on max volume, just outside your door, also at 6 am.

Thnx for that mate. Better late then sorry.

thnx again

Maybe if I talk about hookers? 

This was a bummer.

Oh well.

By the way, still get 2 weeks stamp upon arrival?

Heading to Manila next month.

Actually, to Makati, to be accurate.

Not been there for more than a year, so I wonder if it is business as usual, despite war on drug users and the martial law down south?

Anything particular a regular tourist should be extra aware of these days?

Appreciate comments and advice.

thnx

We know it happens, but this is almost a bit "Farang Conspiracy Theory Urban Myth".

Or..... an FCTUM for our Anglo members (who we all know love abbreviations).

I came up with that one myself.

Always had Chang (strong type) when sitting outside in hot weather, as one ice cube didn't dilute too much.

Leo tastes like water, and Singha has a strange aftertaste.

The new (if it is new) Chang Classic is my new favorite (no ice since lower %).

My favorite this time, in this good old classic subject, must be the one with all the conspiracy theories about the entire society being involved in over pricing.

This is good entertainment stuff, for free (no farang price).

When is the Kingdom back to normal?

Let me rephrase.......when is the land back to regular activities (everything open and running)?

No you did not understand I quoted someone saying can'tthey just stamp it and send it to him. my reply was stamp what he took his passport with him.

Yes I know about getting extra work done ie photo copies but if the chap was handed all his paperwork back and passport surley he should have known something was amiss.

I see your point.

:-)

I remember myself the first time I did this, alone, with minimum understanding, I must have looked like a less developed person.

Stamp what exactly? as he left with passport and all paper work?? seems odd as when immigration look at paper work they never give it back unless there was a problem with it.? and they stamp passport ect before they give it back.

Doesn't sound quite right to me. 

The stamp is a proof that you have more days here.

;-)

On several occasions, people were told to go and copy something more, including myself.

I needed to make an extra copy of my passport together with the departure card.

This resulted in the people, including me, took all their paperwork and passport with them.

In the meantime a new number comes up on the board, and a new applicant comes forward.

When the previous applicant comes back, he/she basically just hand over to the same (now busy) officer, then take another seat to wait for the passport (with a new stamp in it).

As to the kind remark in ID 11. Thank you.  I believe most members here, despite our sometimes very heated arguments, would do the same.

By KKC, I meant Khon Kaen City (yes like the airport code).

Hopefully the gentleman looks at his passport and realizes he is soon on an overstay.

PS.

They called my wife since she had already been asked to put down her mobile number on my application.

Thank you very much.

A follow up since my visit is just around the corner.

Anyone with a link to the office in KKC?

Or, a link to the form I will fill out to request 60 days extra?

thnx
