I saw that the next Republican candidate for President will be a guy called Kanye West.  When asked about his potential candidature he said, " Yo! Yo! East side, West side, Yo!.......Know what i'm Sayin' "  I think, in that statement, he was indicating that he would be a President for all Americans.  Would be good to have a less divisive person in the White House.

I was talking to a Finnish guy a couple of days ago, he had the same situation as the OP's friend.  He went to Khon Kaen immigration and they charged him 1,000 baht for two days overstay and 1,900 baht for his 30 day extension (dated from the original expiry of stay).  He said the staff were friendly and did not make a 'big deal' of him overstaying for a few days.

Thanks for the prompt response.

I get my UK company pension paid on the last working day of each month, this month the last working day in the UK is 31/12/2018 and so it will be paid on that day.  However, in Thailand New Years Eve appears to be a bank holiday so my question is will I receive my pension on the 31st. or will I have to wait until 2nd. January?  Usually the money is transferred from UK to Thailand and then forwarded to my account 'upcountry' on the due date, it usually arrives 10.15 - 10.45am.  Is this process automated or does it require human intervention?  If it requires a staff member to forward the payment to my account, do the banks have staff to do this on 'bank holidays'?  Thanks to anyone who knows.

I was at Wattay airport a couple of weeks ago, I had intended to use the Airport Shuttle bus from the bus station (Morning Market) but it only runs once every couple of hours, so no good to me.  I took a 'tuk-tuk' for 30,000 Kip (about 120 baht) which I thought was expensive until we got underway.  It was MUCH further than I had anticipated, took around 10-12 minutes to get there.   I would not have like to have walked it.

        The road to the airport has a pavement (sidewalk) all the way (but not on the road inside the airport)  with shops on both sides of the road, you are not really out of the city.

       At the entrance to the airport I seem to remember a security box but the tuk-tuk did not stop and was not challenged. 

But is his 'success' due to his talent? Or has family money 'purchased' his seat in the team?   As for living in Isaan, great place for an old geezer like me. 

Where do you go when the pollution makes the air quality become dangerous in Chang Mai?

Brighton and Hove Albion forum is running a thread "Man City - rotten to the core?"  The link below is from the opening post of the thread.  Maybe just a rehash of previously disclosed information.

wrong thread

I seem to remember that some years ago Thai Visa forum asked members to put forward questions to be asked of the top honcho at immigration at the time.  The questions were submitted, a short list created, submitted to immigration and then.................NOTHING

Korean spammers are certainly giving "those who must not be spoken of" the run around this afternoon (Saturday)

Back on 22nd May 2014 Chan Ocha invited political leaders to a meeting.... that turned out well didn't it!!!

Thanks Joe,  he has only the entry at Suvarnabhumi and the one extension so he should be O.K.

I have a Finnish man who is talking with me right now who entered Thailand on a 30 day entry at Suvarnabhumi and then extended for a further30 days at Khon Kaen immigration (1900 baht).  His extension expires tomorrow (6/11//18) so I told him he must go over to Laos to get a further 30 day stamp.  Can he just cross over and immediately return or does he have to stay a certain amount of time (days) in Laos?   Thanks.
