Zero dollar tourism looms again as Chinese return to Thailand
ukrules replied to snoop1130's topic in Thailand News
Are there really enough flight seats to 'welcome' 25 million visitors? I have to wonder about that, because it definitely doesn't add up which means there's a bit of a lie hidden in there somewhere, I'm just not entirely sure where it is - and I don't care that much to dig it up - but rest assured - it's there. -
BITCOINERS, please help me to understand.

Myanmar Man Found Dead, Likely Infected With New Omicron Strain
ukrules replied to webfact's topic in Thailand News
Why is this XBB 1.16 suspected? They have no idea what caused his death until they do an autopsy, locate the virus and then sequence its genome. If they think he died of this sub variant then that suggests it must be present in massive numbers for it to kill someone of his age as it would be a rare day when a 34 year old dies from this.- 33 replies

HSBC banking

With proper authorisation (power of attorney) you would be surprised what someone else can do for you = anything and everything. -
You need a completely new system, everything has changed and got far better over the last decade. I suggest you just buy a new one and then copy over what data you want to keep.

divorced but staying on marriage visa

No more fence jumping for you! -
Glad you got the rabies shots sorted as it can come back and surprise you many weeks or even months later. Out of interest - how did you find out that you're allergic to the vaccine derived from horses? Is this something you were already aware of from previous vaccines or did they do some kind of test before administering it? How would I know if I'm allergic to vaccines that are made this way?

Elite Visa and 90 day reporting on Samui
ukrules replied to diceman's topic in Koh Samui, Koh Phangan, Koh Tao
Yes, if you don't leave the country you need to go to immigration and do a 1 year extension. If you don't do this then the overstay days begin accumulation from the day your current yearly stamp expires. So once a year you go and do an extension and get another year, every 5 years you go to Bangkok and get a new visa inserted as the old one expires. All of the visas last for only 5 years no matter the membership duration. -
divorced but staying on marriage visa
ukrules replied to stoicccc's topic in Thai Visas, Residency, and Work Permits
I do have a Thailand Elite visa, got the last one in 2019 so it's still active but the application form I have saved on my computer may be a little out of date considering it's 3.5 years old. On the version of the application form I have it asks how many times you've overstayed in the last 3 years. Then from here : https://www.thailandelite.com/faq/ There's this : So they may approve it but you need to leave and then return to get the visa inserted at the airport by the sound of it. If you're banned from returning then you're not going to be able to do that. I would suggest leaving immediately if on overstay and applying abroad just in case. I also suspect immigration turned up at the house to make an arrest. A little note aside, immigration were sniffing around my street last week (2 of them arrived in a pickup) they were looking for some Swedish dude who as far as I'm aware has never lived in this area, they had a photo and showed it to the woman I live with, they seemed to think this guy lived in the house next door which is odd as there's been nobody his age from Sweden living there in like 10 years - so this guy might be on a major overstay and they're out hunting them. I personally want as little to do with them as possible so I didn't go outside and had nothing to do with them at all. -
If you leave it there you will see a bright white skeleton laid out where the lizard currently lies once the ants take away everything except the bones - they work fast. It will likely be a shiny white pure skeleton by tomorrow. I saw one in the garden here myself. Ants definitely didn't kill it - birds or cat.

They know about the divorce don't they? -
Sure, but they sell a huge amount of over the counter policies in the UK which are almost worthless - this is the problem. The idiots going on holiday will buy the cheapest policy possible and think they're all good - they don't know any better.

I wonder if they issued an arrest warrant? That would seem to be the next logical step if someone makes a police complaint against you that results in a bank being convinced to remove money from your account. I suggest you gather all the proof you have of the transaction completing and keep it handy just in case they come knocking. Might be a good idea to put in a complaint against the woman involved as well, you're going to need a Thai speaker for that of course. I would never deal direct with anyone here for the exact reasons you're experiencing. Good luck, you're gonna need it.

Don't believe any article which uses this term. They would have you believe a 'pimp' is a human trafficker.

Assume the worst, I guess you just need the proof at this stage

I drink Nestle for drinking water but when I boil water in a kettle when making coffee, etc I use Singha as it leaves much less residue. I believe the nestle has a much higher mineral content than Singha which causes this residue build up.

Government Approves CAAT Plan to Tackle Soaring Ticket Prices
ukrules replied to snoop1130's topic in Thailand News
You would think so but I guess that depends on how much the airports and government are demanding in payments and commitments from the airlines to use the airports. -
New rules for opening a bank account
ukrules replied to Dirk Z's topic in Jobs, Economy, Banking, Business, Investments
Correct, there are many reasons why someone on a visa exemption or tourist visa might require a bank account. The number one being that they arrive on a tourist visa with plan on retiring in the country - which requires deposits that sit there for some random and arbitrary amount of time. -
Thousands flee into Thailand amid renewed Myanmar fighting

Why should it do anything? It's an Asian problem which they choose to ignore.
