Upcoming generations of budding Thai politicians will learn from the examples of success of the current lot and learn the tricks of the trade.The lure of massive riches and power will understandably set their corrupt course through the sludge...

There will be well meaning idealists among them initially but they will be crushed and disillusioned by the feared, entrenched, unchangeable power structure.

That sounds perfect Fishtank. Thanks. 

Is anyone out there using this app to watch the Premier League?

Do I need to get another package as well or can you get just the football package?

Thanks

Is anyone using this app? 

I looked at their website but it wasn't helpful. 

Can I get just the football or do I need to get another package as well?

Thanks

How long is the bank letter valid. Is it still one week or has that been changed since last year?

Thanks.

ps I know I have to update the bankbook on the day of the extension.

Tracked the ems letter this morning and it's finally in the system. Slowest I've ever had.......but not lost.

Looks like my 90 day report by ems mail has disappeared.

Where do you do the  report nowadays?.......near the airport or at Promenada?

Thanks folks........Haven't done one in person for years.

I want to cancel my True VIsions sub. Paid up till  30 Sept. Will they refund almost 6 months subscription?......or just the deposit?

Somehow not expecting to get a single baht back but you never know.

Thanks folks.

Thank you. Thank you. Thank you for the offer of a free mask and the concern the Thai govt has for the welfare of the beloved foreigners. Thank you. Thank you.

All better now? 

Not a problem. Usually get a bit of rain in May.

^{Well said CharlieH.}  

And the guys who have used the 15,000 baht or so agent service operating out of Pattaya, with no money in the bank?......Has it got anything to do with that?

Don't know if it's already been said in the previous 22 pages but the way I see it is this...

Until some rich Thai rental property owners get fed up with the TM30 and go and put pressure on Immigraion to relax the requirements, then nothing will change. Farang have no influence or hope in this game with the men in uniform.

i'm paid up on the soon to be discontinued  Super Soccer package till the end of the year. I suppose they'll credit me with that and take it off the  new Premier League channel bill. Up to True.

I'm paid up till  the end of September with a Super Knowledge plus football package.....a bit over 850/month. 

With this new True setup from August on, will it cost me an extra 199/month to get the Premier League Channel like they used to have at CTH? I'm willing to pay that for that channel.

That'd mean though that I'd be paying the current 850 a month plus another 200...………..or in other words about 500 for football alone.

That's starting to sound quite a lot, don't you reckon?

Forgot to mention that the photo and story appeared on the front page of yesterday's Thai language, Thai Rath newspaper. Nothing about a demotion or promotion though......

Front page photo of the ex immigration chief receiving flowers from a group of Facebook scam victims after the ringleader of the rip off was successfully apprehended by Mr Big Joke and his team.

Looks like he has been promoted.

Is this true?   I'm arriving back in Thailand on a Friday. Does this mean I have to do the TM30 either on the Friday itself or on Saturday at the latest?

What sort of "society" has this mess become?

the locals generally don't care. Almost nobody with a mask on around here, 40kms out of town.  The smoke doesn't concern them, even those with small children. Can't see what the fuss is about, most of 'em.

When the lung and heart disease epidemic strikes in the next decade what will they blame. There must be blame.

Doi Lo Hospital this morning was 640. 

100,000 treated for dog bites a year.

Open on weekends?! All day Saturday and Sunday? Hard to believe. Saturday morning perhaps?
