They were already taking photos of him checking in, and about to go through baggage check. A tip off, perhaps. 

Everyone is photographed checking in and checking baggage. Not just him.

I don't care at all and never did. I pass colds in 5-10 days. Never got COVID and worked in schools during that sad period of human folly. Took public transport and touch everything, continued to shop in stores and markets, went maskless as much as possible.

 

In laws got COVID and we're a bit I'll. Mil a bit in her lung. Sil and nieces got COVID and had pizza party in hotel courtesy of govt

 

Total sham. Damaged so many people financially, ruined lives

 

Many people still on this board were big vaxxers and supporters of the fascism. Now, they whine about Trump. How ironic

 

 

Considering more than 7 million people worldwide died from Covid-19, it was hardly a "total sham."

My guess is that many folks will be curious about this question. Nothing wrong with learning, may be useful for the future for some folks.

Most likely a DTV visa.

speaking of Thai banks and charges, I used a QR payment from Bangkok bank the other day to pay for a 250baht bar bill (just to try it out) well it worked ok but I was charged 15baht for the pleasure, Thai people think cashless is something to brag about, they may need to think again if banks are going to charge like this for every transaction and it might be 15baht now  (which IMO should be free)  but when you have no option for cash these charges are going to go up because you will simply have no alternative, the banks really will have you by the $$$$$.  I am personally 100% against cashless - there is only one winner  and it ain't us. 

I've never been charged a fee to use QR codes and I've probably done 700 over the years.

It's in the Thai news. I just read it. He has died.

This is pure total and unadulterated nonsense, she can return anytime she wants and there's about a 0% chance she'll be locked up, we all know anyone with that kind of money is above any and all laws in Thailand. All she has to do is strike a deal with the broken and corrupt judiciary and the army, just like her daddy did. 

Her brother, not daddy.

Where... in Japan?

It would be wonderful if one opened in CM.

 

There are at least a dozen of them, probably more.

Himalayan striped squirrels. They are wonderful to have around. 

A few years ago, there was a similar incident in a Bangkok mall where the woman driver had a water bottle that rolled on the floor of the car and somehow got stuck on the accelerator or brake (or both) and the car went through a parking lot wall and dropped several floors. She died.

How does the expat status of people from Myanmar, Laos and Cambodia differ from expats from western countries? Theyrw both expats. Also, I'd say it's safe to say, that expats and retirees from western countries have more expendable income than any of the neighboring Asian countries. They therefore stimulate tue economy quote a bit more per capita...

They are stateless... and contribute to the economy, pay taxes....get it? My friend is Shan/Tai Yai, has lived here 30+ years. She is legally employed, pays into the social security system for healthcare, her child is a Thai citizen. She deserves citizenship.

What purpose does the TM 6 serve ?

What are they supposed to do ?

It helps them keep track of you. The last few times I crossed back to Chiang Khong from Laos, they asked many questions like "why did you write Moo 1 and not a soi name or Moobaan name for your address?" I had to explain where I lived and the IO made notes in the computer.

To the posters above:

Those are not frills, they are essentials in a medical office, and have been for decades.

And I went to McCormick, where the lady was much more articulate, and appeared more knowledgeable.

However...if you believe in someone that won't easily change.

Simple. Then go see him at C.M. Ram where he sees patients during the day. He has everything there.

Maybe he is good, but I didn't see any evidence of it.

I did see that he has no modern equipment. He uses spirit lamps and implements that seem to be imported from a witch doctor 's hut. He didn't even have an x-ray viewer. I took a film and he took it outside and peered at it against some light.

This was a couple of years ago. If he has modernized since then - my apologies in that case.

If you want all the frills, then go see him at C.M. Ram. But you will pay much, much more. For complex issues and surgery he will of course tell you to come to see him at C.M.Ram.

Indeed, Caracas, Venezuela was the most dangerous place I ever visited. I never felt any danger in Bangkok but I dislike the place - to say the least. I never stay more than a night in Bangkok.

Appears students studying IN Thailand. So that's Chinese PRC and a few Koreans

 

It does not appear to be gap year holiday for foreigners.

There are plenty of other nationalities (including white-skinned farangs) studying in Chiang Mai.

Is there any official source? requirements for the digital nomad visa?

 

Wouldn't the digital nomad visa essentially make Elite visas obsolete?

Must maintain 500K Baht in the bank for the 180 day stay.

He has a shop in his house. I think he's in Saraphi but I could be wrong about that. I can dig up his contact if you are still interested.
