If you're extending by the same amount on both sides, I'd be inclined to leave the existing as is, and extend with contrasting strips.

Xray machines at Swampy airport
DefaultName replied to Bruce1054's topic in Suvarnabhumi Airport Forum
Convenient that. If there's something really dodgy in your bag and you see that on the handle, just rip off the bag tag, leave your bag on the conveyor, and walk out. ???? -

What does working with a visa agent look like?
DefaultName replied to ThLT's topic in Thai Visas, Residency, and Work Permits
I use Jomtien, I have the money in the bank and, being retired, I have the time. Having said that, I use the agent in the compound to complete my forms, do any photocopies needed, etc. Then take them in myself. Cost is usually a couple of hundred and I have never had issues with the forms in immigration - I think that, seeing their paperwork, the officer pretty much rubberstamps it, he knows it's correct. Worth the (small) money to me. I know many who use agents because they can't, or don't want to, put the money in the bank. I've always thought that it's dodgy though, a "Big Joke" type in charge could cause some serious grief there. -
I believe this, used to be a taxi driver, lived about 20 miles from where I worked. Keeping awake when the work was coming was easy, but when it finished, driving home on unlit country roads wasn't. Sometimes I had to find a layby and doze for a few minutes before continuing. At times I got home and couldn't remember the journey. Thai drivers do a lot more hours than I did, so they'll be worse affected - though "face" will stop them admitting it.

Ideal, that simple comment should solve the OP's problems. -
Former PM Yingluck Shinawatra issued another arrest warrant

If she sets foot in Thailand, she gets arrested. I wouldn't attend either. -

If you don't feel safe sending your documents to the UK (understandable), then why not go in person? More expensive, yes, but secure. -
Thailand (Still) Plans to Declare Covid-19 as Endemic by July
DefaultName replied to webfact's topic in Thailand News
Sorry, but I can't see from your post what difference what we call it makes. Does one mean more restrictions than the other, or is it just words? -

I did ask this elsewhere but here goes again; Endemic or Pandemic, what practical difference does it make? -
Six-Lane Road Linking Samut Prakan and Chachoengsao Now Operational
DefaultName replied to webfact's topic in Bangkok News
Living in Pattaya with family in Samut Prakan, this would have been helpful. If I could use it on a bike. ???? -

And can we take bikes on it? -
My opinion; they'll postpone a decision until the post-Songkran figures come in.

Deleted, silly comment, even for this thread. -
If I may ask; why glass bottles? I've dropped a few plastic ones over the years and they've bounced, glass wouldn't.
