  1. OP, contact Assist Thai Visa and they can do it for you, for a fee of course.

    Could be because they suck up every slot they can & use them if need/sold or throw them away if not.

    I dont mean just assist but cumulatively all the visa agents

    Much the same way travel agents reserve blocks of seats then dump them if not needed at the end

    I am very suspicious that you are right, but the places never get "dumped", because, as far as I know, there is no way to cancel a reservation.

    I was able to cancel a reservation rather easily. Just took a phone call with my particulars and they were happy to oblige. At least some other person was able to get my canceled time rather than being a no-show.

  2. Yep, know from friends who work in the service end of the business that's how it works out.

    What happens if the deduction results in the employee no longer being paid the minimum wage?

    Do you really think that they ever see any of the "Service Charge" tacked onto you bill? If you do... someone will be looking for you to sell you a controlling interest in the Brooklyn Bridge.

    I assume that they generally don't, or at least not much of it (though not sure of the connection with billing errors).

    You are assuming they are making the "minimum wage" in the first place.

    Yes, we are getting far from the original billing error thread so this is the end of my commenting.

  3. Don't worry, the lowest person in the hierarchy will have to pay. Management will never allow a service bill like this to go without chasing the lowest ranking person around.

    yes that is the usual way....

    A 5 star hotel spa treatment might cost, say, 3,000 baht for 90 minutes.

    The hotel would dock possibly a week's wages from the spa/checkout person?

  4. CM Immigration taking mailed 90 day checkins now? Last I tried they said no way - not enough staff to handle the job.

    This option has been available for many years. It was suspended for a short time - 3 months or so - but that was about a year or 18 months ago.

    Thanks for the update. Good news to be able to return to the system I had used for years.

  5. I think the OP was wondering if the rubbish collecters are doing any recyling of the contents of the bins.

    Don't think that they do but I would love to be proven to be mistaken.

    Multiple semi-truck loads of rubbish from CM transported to a tip near Hod daily, at considerable expense. From what I have seen there is no further sorting of the rubbish there.

  6. It doesn't take much manure to introduce the bacteria necessary for the sunn hemp to form the nitrogen nodules. And most definitely not having to be worked in to the extent you are speaking of. I use a rototiller and that works just fine.

    OP leaves out a lot of information so we are all giving advice blindly here. Hope that my definition of "working in" meets your requirement.

    I think we come opposite sides of the big pond,the Altantic Ocean, a rototiler,to me is a tool for a back garden,a walk beind tool, in a field situation I would call one a rotavator , for the back of a tractor ,a tool I would not use in a field situation,unless it is a rice paddy,

    All those blades rotating will mix mix up the soil and manure ,as you said ,but it will leave a smear underground especially on heavyer land,that water can not drain though,leaving a wet field.

    They where popular in the UK a few years ago,we used one for stuble cultivation ,then the above problem come up, they where then abandoned to the headge bottom.

    This being a tropical country, with monson rains,drainage is all the more important.

    I still say in a field situation a cultivator would do the best job .

    Sold a lot of the UK product called a Howard Rotovator on our side of the Atlantic. Great machines and sucessful when used in loamy soils rather than the clayye muck that passes for farming soil in most of the UK.

    I probably missed a great opportunity by not going over to the UK and buying the used Rotovators to sell in the US.

  7. Personally I would go with the sunn hemp.

    It is better adapted to the region having its origins in south Asia. When flowering it will attract many wonderful polinators thereby giving them a meal during a time when there isn't much food around for them normally.

    If you have the correct innoculate then you might not need the cow manure. But, if the soil is as bad as you describe, the addition of the cow manure will help the plants just that much more during your initial planting.

    I was pulling some very mature sunn hemp plants just yesterday and was amazed at the number and size of the nodules formed. The stems and leaves also hold a lot of nitrogen as well. I have used younger plants as layering materials in a compost bin and can get strong wiffs of amonia in just a couple days of decomposition. Tells the story right there.

    Good luck and happy farming!

  8. Most commonly called "donut munchers". They're bad enough but it is the nuts wandering around with their penis extenders either concealed or openly carried that worry me the most. I have been threatened, without provocation, by some of these and it's not fun being around their ilk.

    No, I will not carry as I have done nothing wrong and have no intentions of doing wrong.

    Many people have businesses that make cash transactions in a bank. They have to get from their place of business to the bank. There are places in America like Detroit or Miami or many other places where police don't come when called. America is a big country and many people live in homes where it would take police an hour to drive there even if they wanted to come. There are armed gangs roaming the streets of many towns in America who break into people's homes and rape and kill the inhabitants. Charles Manson was the most famous.

    I certainly respect your decision not to carry a weapon. I wouldn't call you a nutter. I would not mock your sexuality or cast any other aspersions like kindergarten children. I carried weapons in both Thailand and the USA when I was in the Army.

    Why do you feel it is necessary to insult me? Calling me a nutter and penis extender, is an insult.

    The gun is commonly referred to as a "penis extender"... not the person. Charles Manson did his nastiness way back in 1969 so he really is not relevent to this current gun craze in 'merica. Perhaps the name Darren Wilson would fit for the present mess 'merica finds itself dealing with.

    I too carried weapons at one time while in Vietnam with the 'merican military... but, as a medic, I was to use them primarily to protect patients, not in an offensive manner. My experiences convinced me that no good for anyone comes from using guns of any type.

  9. Well it's true that the Police are very dangerous and kill many innocent people in America. But the truth is legally carrying a gun is not dangerous. It's those that don't have the legal right that commit virtually all the gun crime.

    In fact, if someone is legally carrying a gun, how is that a threat to you unless you are intending to harm that person?

    Do American policemen mind being called, "nutters?"

  10. If I genuinely thought Thailand was dangerous enough that carrying a weapon was necessary, I'd leave the country.

    Thankfully, I'm nowhere near that paranoid.

    I don't think Thailand is that dangerous, in fact it's quite peaceful where I live. However you occasionally come across dangerous people.

    In 'merica it's the nutters carrying guns, legally, who are dangerous. Good reason to keep away from there!
