3 minutes ago, CMHomeboy78 said:Obviously gov't on all levels isn't up to the task of controlling agricultural burning and dealing with forest fires in the hills - many of which are set by foragers to clear the underbrush so they can harvest mushrooms and other forest products.
If tourist numbers dropped precipitously that might arouse the authorities into action.
In the meantime, more should be done by concerned citizens - especially young people,, but it's not.
Until more creative ways of provoking elected officials into doing their jobs are found, nothing will change.
In the early 2000 I took a picture near San Patong of a huge sign bearing the face of a beaming Yingluck and those words Stop The Burning -English and Thai if I remember - right in front of the sign were workers burning rubbish collected from the roadside!
Sadly I could not find the photo.
But simply, nothing has changed, the governers hollow words are heard annually , and not a thing has changed- except for the worse!

Mine is bigger than some and smaller than others.
The electricity bill is much the same!

I went along to Chiang Mai Immigration on Wednesday ,had an appointment ,was directed
to window 2 ,to have paperwork pre checked , they went through everything ,did not want
the 12 months of statements from Bangkok Bank ,wish i had of known ,took 3 trips to the
bank to get them ,you can bet if i didn't have them ,they would have wanted them .
Took 45 mins altogether , I have a friend going to Central next week doing it by Agent,
4 K baht ,but had to get paperwork from bank himself, see how long it takes him for
the extra money , does not like to wait around ......45 mins once a year you cannot
complain ... this time they did not do my 90 day report , so did it online when I got
home , it was approved next day Thank you Chiang Mai immigration ,you are great....
regards Worgeordie

The 'catch and kill' scheme disclosed by Pecker and the 'National Enquirer' was truly shocking and this evidence has so far been damning for Trump.
The indictment covers 34 (?) felonies regarding falsifying business records which would be otherwise regarded as misdemeanours were it not for the fact that it was all done for the purpose of hiding truths from USA voters at a time when hackles were up about attitudes to women. Clearly a scheme for electoral manipulation.
I'm glad to have read the 'other side' of the argument in that piece from 'The Hill' but for me it was just, 'huffing and puffing'. It's amazing to me that a sordid and unstable character like Trump can be taken seriously, by anyone at all.
Has been President once and amazingly it is possible it could happen again.
I guess if that happens again even more Americans over here will be pretending to be Australians!

When referring to AI it depends on the questions you ask and the information you add to the question that defines the answer.

You would think that whomever is reviewing the applications in the various offices would have by now clicked that with so many applications being rejected with "Incorrect entry date upon entry into the kingdom/ Incorrect visa expiration date."
that there may be a glitch in the system that needs to be resolved or am I asking too much of immigration?

Are there similar events for Thais as they are equally affected by the " new" rules that may be coming, probably more so as larger amounts are likely to be involved?
Just a wild guess, even with the expert from Thai revenue there will be just as much confusion after the event about what is going on as there is now!

It was fine last time we there. Stayed at the Sheraton.

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

Maybe they will use them.
Or maybe any other power with nuclear weapons will use their weapons.
That's the whole idea. Don't let the others think you will never use those weapons.
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."

Can understand the frustration with the system. I too went to Laos January 8th and returned to Chiangmai on January 12th.....and had my 90-day filing rejected a couple of days ago; however, the rejection email to me did list a reason for the rejection: "Incorrect entry date upon entry into the kingdom/Incorrect visa expiration date."
That alleged reason was wrong as my information was exactly correct.....and I used the exact same form (the one they email you back) and information yesterday for filing in person at CM Immigration without a hitch or question. Thankfully, I used the drive-thru window and the filing took less than 5 minutes.
I have no clue where the online filings go but whoever rejected my filing miss-read his/her computer screen and/or was having a bad day.
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!

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

Seems a bit archaic, haven't seen a TM47 form in five or more years in Korat.
Must be a lot of rif-raf up that way.555
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.

Massive fine for the owner of the rice field and similar massive fines for owners of land where uncontrolled/illegal burning is detected anywhere in Thailand.
