  1. The judge will have seen all of the CCTV yet decided not to issue a warrant. If he picked her up and dangled her over the balcony then it would be visible in the video. Obviously this is not the case.
  2. It will be interesting to see if those who rushed to 'upgrade' their 5 year memberships were all processed in a timely manner before the deadline which is Tuesday (today). I also find it a little odd that now the Thailand Elite memberships appear to be thriving that there's a new management team - did they fire the management who were in charge of making it successful? The first thing the new 'management team' go on to do is take the successful membership packages which are selling quite well and CANCEL every single one of them to be replaced with something that's yet to be determined. It's very odd
  3. Picture a woman standing on a balcony, about to jump, the guy grabs her by the legs and manages to hold on for as long as he can before she falls...... That CCTV might reveal the moments leading up to the 'fall' or it's worthless in any normal country. Of course we're in Thailand though so it's up to the judges controllers.
  4. Yes, and I've done it many times, not once was a utility bill required as well as some other superior form of address like a bank statement.
  5. Ever get the feeling that they simply don't want to have anything to do with you? It's odd behaviour from a financial company.
  6. Being unmarried, aged under 50 and not working in Thailand You get a hassle free long term visa with 1 year entry stamps and some largely irrelevant 'window dressing' 'benefits' and never need to leave the country if you don't want to.
  7. Pathetic. No wonder they don't want to come - if it's 6 now I wonder what it was before. Also as I like to point out - don't forget that there's a special list of countries kept by the Chinese government where ordinary people aren't allowed or are discouraged to travel to unless they're on a tour - and Thailand is on that list.
  8. I know plenty of people who've had covid recently, myself included, not sure which version but it's definitely been doing the rounds over the last few months.
  9. What's the difference between a 'fake' amulet and a 'real' one and how can you tell?
  10. It is a giant red flag if they require a bank account balance that's higher than the government insured amount.
  11. So we're talking about tax avoidance vs tax evasion, one is a crime, the other isn't. The rest of the world doesn't have a problem with this, if they do - they change the law. It's a non issue
  12. I'm sure they will. They will destroy themselves with greed if given even half a chance.
  13. I wouldn't be surprised at all if they have already ceased processing new applications or renewals. All they need to do is slow walk them through the next 11 days and that's the end of it until it relaunches.
  14. If the tax was paid then usually nobody cares who actually paid it. I also heard that if the tax isn't paid then the land doesn't change ownership so this smells like a load of bull<deleted> to me. Someone in charge of something doesn't like this PM candidate either.
  15. I looked back in my email and I also received one. It did confirm that there will be no more 'upgrades' from 15th August and when the new packages are announced new upgrades will resume in 2024. It really sounds like they've done this in such a way that there's not enough time for people to find out and upgrade - they don't want people to upgrade. I'm over 50 now, do I really need TE? The answer to that is a resounding 'No' - I use it because it's cheap and convenient - if it stops being either of those two then I'm done with it. Still, I've got about 2 years of membership left so plenty of time. I will not be scrambling to upgrade my existing membership by their last minute deadline.
  16. Why use a middle man when you can do it all over the phone with the official company. I would never use an agent for this when it's so easy to apply directly.
  17. It sure is big news. What we have here is a classic example of the tail attempting to wag to dog. He will be put back in his rightful place soon enough. It's his job to study and then enforce the laws, not make them or even speculate on them really as that could well lead to all sorts of problems. We've already seen extra judicial punishment systems implemented in Phuket (red cards), what will these absolute <deleted>tards dream up next?
  18. The most successful of all the criminals don't have any kind of criminal record, they will be laughing at this.
  19. Lawless, and they're cracking down on retirement visas. It's all a bit of a big joke isn't it?
  20. Exactly, I wouldn't believe a word of what any agent says. They're competing for big profit shares so it's in their interest to hype it up.
  21. That is not the official page of Thailand Elite - it's merely an agent at best. The official URL is www.thailandelite.com - this one has a - character in the domain so it's a completely different company. This appears to be the latest official announcement and it's lapsed already : https://www.thailandelite.com/news/64635900c09dcf531c2bc388/?category=privileges
