Sorry i need you to explain please, who is J Arthur?

Is he a member  of Thai visa?

There are a few members who come to mind, but better you enlighten us, thank you.

OP next time try thinking with the head on your shoulders, not the 1 in your pants.

Been going to KhonKaen immigration, since they opened here about eight years ago

 

They have always been helpful BUT nit picking I have pink card 

 

I would recommend you go with the flow and provide them with what they request

Very confusing post, very confusing, opened 8 years ago? I have been going there longer than that.

Very helpful???? depends who you get, 2 ladies in there extremely helpful, the rest the complete opposite.

Firstly, I don't need any advice of the pros and cons of a Pink I.D. card for a foreigner, but interested if any other member has been told the same.

 

On Tuesday I went to get my annual renewal of my extension of stay at Khon Kaen immigration, and had the same documents I have provided every year since I became eligible in 2010, Passport, TM7, Bank Letter showing adequate funds, copy of bankbook, Condo rental contract and all necessary photocopies of passport information.

 

As I am single, do not own property, and have my passport and Government hospital registration card as bone fide Identification documents, I have never bothered to apply for the Pink I.D. card, and never in my 15 years here been asked to produce one. However, the officer at the first desk kept on asking me for my Pink colored I.D. card, and as I repeatedly explained that I did not have one, and have extended every time with all the necessary documents requested, he then told me that next year I will not be granted the extension without such a card ! 

 

I don't really want to bother my landlord to go through the process of applying for the card, and with having 2 totally legitimate I.D. documents, one which I carry everywhere, I fail to see why he insists on me getting a card, apart from his typical "I am in charge and you will do as I say" attitude.

 

I know I will get the "get a pink I.D. card" comments from the usual suspects here, which I will ignore, but I am asking for confirmation that this is not needed according to the written law here. 

 

   

Yesterday i went with my wife to Khonkaen immigration, same papers as every year, you need 1 years statement from the bank, so off we go get that.

Back at immigration, cannot do extension without yellow tabian ban, no problem says my wife here it is.

Where is your I.D. card he asks my wife, so she showed him her government I.D. card, he did not like that.

He give my wife some grief... Why you work government and marry farang, why you not marry Thai man.

Other years immigration officer comes out to our pickup take my photo, not yesterday, lazy sod said go take your husbands photo bring it back to me.

Every year they want something different, next year who knows what they will dream up.

Confirmation please....... you were in a massage girl, or in a massage place, which is correct?

All three face severe disciplinary offences and may be suspended until their criminal trial is complete.

What nonsense if they have done wrong they should be suspended without delay.

Strange that we are seeing this just 2 days after 11 navy officers are under investigation for involvement in drugs.

Used to be good taxi driver stunts, now navy officer stunts.

For instance, police said, a person was able to register a fake hotel and even show bookings. In some cases, operators allegedly recorded a higher price for rooms to get a bigger payoff from the government. The subsidy scheme offers customers a discount and returns the difference to hotels or restaurants.

Well well who would have thought that anybody would stoop so low as cheat the government, shocking thats what it is shocking, take them out in front of the firing squad.

0.8 cups per day, come on who you trying to fool?????

So if you are not drinking at least 1 cup tea/ coffee per day, what else you drinking? Lao kao may be.

Actually, my family want to live in Scotland, but I'm the boss and want to live here, where I can walk to the local shop with no shoes and shirt on. I got arrested once in Aberdeen for doing that????

Were you down shore street at the time of your arrest?????????????

But it is 77 for Thailand as a whole and only 72 for issan. 
 

They don’t smoke tobacco nearly as much as in the south from what I observe but I have no statistics to back that up.

Where do you get that figure from for Issan?

In this village recently 3 people have died, lady 93, 1 man 91, 1 man being cremated today 83.

I think you are just dreaming up figures to suit your thread.

better not touch soi 6. 

Behave yourself, you are getting to old for soi 6.????????????????????????

What a load of b++++ks, why has a hospital got involved?

Just for publicity, many thousands of children in the same situation, just quietly going about their studies best they can, without all the attention seekers getting in on the act.

I was taught to do some walking or cycling when I am stressed or anxious. However, I can't seem to go way farther than 2 miles. I get really exhausted and all cramped easily. Or is this just at first? How far have you gone cycling?

Just be thankful that you can manage 2 miles, some like me can only dream about doing that.

Many times i dream about going for a walk then wake up cannot even get off my bed.

Gordon Brown speaking nonsense once again, the most useless PM in living memory.

Failed state, thats just where it was heading under his leadership.

Well well, even the navy is involved in trafficking drugs, no end to it, officers everywhere think money to be made, i want in on it, disgusting.
