    "As of April 17, the government has already postponed the lottery twice in view of the coronavirus situation.

    Those who had bought tickets for the scheduled April 16 lottery will receive a refund"

    So the old tickets from The April 1 drawing are no good? Where do one get a refund? 

    That draw will be held in the middle of May, so I'm reliably told!

  2. Please, lets consider that these people live in this resort, therefore it's their temporary home, how many people have more than two people in a "Thai" room at a time? This is harassment! These tourists will never return! All so some MIB get 30 seconds of publicity! I'm glad I have as little as possible to do with the pui yai's!

    Tick Tocking. The practice of moving the arms on each side of the body, in the same direction as the same side leg when marching. Cheers.

    In Oz it was called "square gaiting"

    Why would I even bother, it offers me nothing, I have Citizenship in my own country which is worth it's weight in gold.

     

    Thailand is behind the rest of the world, example: my Thai wife applied for her permanent residency after getting married in Australia, she was granted permanent residency after 2 years, after that she applied for Australian Citizenship and received that 2 years later, she now has dual citizenships.

     

    What is so precious about permanent residency in Thailand, marriage or retirement extensions are enough, albeit they are very repetative and waste a lot of paper and peoples time, both sides of the fence.

    It must have been some time ago, now it's 5 years for PR and 4 years continuous for citizenship! All applications are vetted by Indians or Mauritians and can be rejected out of hand, the system exists for appeal but it's never granted! Yes, I'm rather bitter (with reason)!

    Need a dull day in Thailand!  When ever I have seen the prison guards escorting prisoners to a hospital they are never armed....of course the prisoners are handcuffed and in leg irons so there is not a big window for escape! 

    Sorry to burst your bubble but! The guard with the black fanny pack is packing in the pack...ok? ????
