Thailand

Strong wind, black skies. Not a drop in our Hang Dong area

It was fine last time we there. Stayed at the Sheraton. 1987-88 If I remember correctly.

Wife had exactly the same message and so did at least another member "Incorrect entry date upon entry into the kingdom/ Incorrect visa expiration date." Obviously some glitch in the system as input info was same as many times before and correct. Same rejection on trying once more! Went to the Chiang Mai drive in where I explained what response we had received from the system. The officers response was a smile as he returned the completed up to date notification with passport. No point calling no point asking as it appears nobody knows. TIT

Still waiting for the rain that was supposed to arrive a week or so ago!

The Americans did and saved a lot of lives! But the Israel /Iran is not the same and nuclear action will simply just kill a lot more people. So many years of wars and escalation as a race we have literally learned nothing. If there is a guiding force of any kind it would be tempted to nuke the lot of us!

Isn't falling asleep already a contempt of court?

Trump say he will take the stand at his first criminal trial! Will his lawyers allow him to do so? If he does is he likely to perjure himself? Is it likely he will be in contempt of court at some time during the trial?

British Royal Air Force (RAF) jets in the region "will intercept any airborne attacks within range" of the UK's existing missions in the Middle East "as required", the Ministry of Defence says. It also urges parties in the conflict to de-escalate. Another statement by Defence Minister Grant Shapps says additional RAF assets have been deployed to the region, including jets and air refuelling tankers. "I strongly condemn the senseless airborne attack that Iran has launched on Israel," he says. "It serves no benefit other than to further undermine regional security."

Same for the missus. tried twice. Know the info was correct as had a screenshot and the check status also had the correct info, also went to drive through, showed the rejection email to the officer who just smiled and handed back the accepted report notification! Mine had gone through in less than a day! TIT

I would guess a lot to do with foreign currency inflow with concerns about tax liabilities on such remittances?

For 90 days Chang Mai offers drive through, walk through, main office , post, online- not exactly archaic? Yes, drive through , walk through requires passport and completed TM47.

Don't know if already posted but next to the drive through window is another window where you "walk through" your submission. Obviously you will need your paperwork in order to use both drive and walk through.

"Wildfires continue to blaze through Chiang Mai, leading the local authority yesterday to declare three additional districts as disaster zones. These districts, Chiang Dao, Mae Taeng, and Chai Prakarn, have joined Fang and Phrao districts, which were declared disaster areas on April 4" Chiang Mai, Thailand

"Can particulate matter cause lung cancer? There is no safe threshold to breathe in fine particles. A recent review of all available scientific evidence to date clearly shows that particle pollution is associated with increased mortality from all causes, cardiovascular disease, respiratory disease and lung cancer." Although the situation remains dire, Dr Piamlap Saengsayan, head of the pulmonary medicine department of the Central Chest Institute of Thailand, reassured the public yesterday that there is no definitive evidence linking PM2.5 to lung cancer.

Hopefully tourism will not be affected.

3 saving account at the same Bangkok bank, one is joint the other two in my name only. But from years ago.

They might but the government recommends that everyone stays inside because of the pollution!

Exactly, and it does not matter if a level of 300 has been reached rarely or often. It's the fact that it has been reached that is the unnatural disaster!
