Who? I have a vague recollection of someone... Didn't my vague recollection have a brother or sister that did something? I have distant memories of people wearing coloured shirts or something....

The junta has the perfect weapon: time.Thais (like most people, especially kids) get easily bored and forgetful unless they are constantly stimulated which is the agenda. OK, perhaps they haven't considered the resurrection of the "Shirts" before, during or after the next election, if there is one, But it seems they are either boring people into forgetting what colour shirt they are or making people not care. I live in staunch red shirt country, but i haven't seen anyone wearing a Taksin shirt, hanging Taksin posters outside their house or spoken to any opinionated person for over six months.

And today is....

Does anyone know if you need to show funds or proof of income for the multiple O? Thanks.

Not if you are applying in Savannakhet. You should note that no financial proof was mentioned anywhere in this topic.

Thanks Joe, when you say not at Savannakhet, are you saying you have to show funds at other Thai consulates?

At some yes.

At least 100k baht in the bank or proof of income is needed to apply at Penang which is the only other nearby location that will do the multiple entry non-o.

Very useful information. Thank you.

I would be very interested in the chicken tikka massala.

If you want good curry try this company: igkcm.com

Fantastic frozen curries and side dishes, large portions and very good value for money. Minimum order for free delivery is B250.

Refrain. Sums it up really.

US voters react: 'I don’t think either candidate is qualified to run the country'

Brewster's Millions: Vote for none of the above.

America's gift to the world.

I don't think that's really fair.

Look at the modern Thai food people eat as well. That's most likely the much bigger factor.

Have you been to America? I went in 1991 and I was shocked at how much they ate and what they ate. Lazy Britain today is catching up fast though. When I first came to Thailand fifteen years ago, you could spit for luck when you saw a chubby kid. Now they're everywhere. Thai junk food or western junk food? Maybe Thai junk food inspired by western junk food. Where did global franchise junk food originate? It's addictive. It's a fix. It gets you high. Why do you think obese people don't have a problem when they look in the mirror. Add that to the little emperor syndrome that's so prevalent and what do you get?

My employers asked for a two year work permit for me in November and I got one. I am on a non-O marriage visa. Maybe the officer in charge didn't notice.

I've had two year work permits as long as eight years ago.

I don't think it was designed for outdoor karaoke two miles away at 2 a.m.

The measure protects domestic pets, working animals and animals kept for food.

I doubt elephants are considered any of the above.

If the boy lives in Thailand and goes to school here, then he can join the cadets, as we call it, at school. He would then be exempt from the lottery conscription.

Lazada is unreliable. I am in the process of claiming 12kbaht (through paypal)for non delivery of an item,and Lazada are washing their hands of it because item sold by a "third party".

I am in the process of suing them for advertising, handling and supplying counterfeit goods, as is the manufacturing company that confirmed the item to be fake.

Watch out for counterfeit goods.

Don't worry son, me and some friends beat him up for you.

Gee, thanks dad. You're a great role model. Can't wait to tell all my friends at school what a cool dad I have.

Postal items entering Thailand with a value less than B1,000 are not taxed by customs. When I order anything from overseas I ask the seller to mark the item at $20 and a gift. Once I had a package delivered marked as above and the postman said there was customs duty to pay (showed me the paperwork from customs. He wasn't trying it on.) I told him to return the item back to the sender at the cost of customs because I refuse to pay duty. Two days later the postman returned with the package and no duty. The post office had contacted customs to inform them the package was rejected. They then realized they would be out of pocket and folded. If you marked your value as being over B1,000 then you've had it i'm afraid.

Another poster also recently said that online reporting has been discontinued.

Can this be confirmed by Ubonjoe or other experts?

I did mine last Sunday. Checked it on Monday and it was approved. Then printed the slip. No problems.

PS I used IE

Did it yesterday (Chiang Mai.) Approved today.

That's 90 day report not queue online.

Today at the Promenada office I asked an officer about the online queue system and he said it was "closed permanently". He said there were two reasons. Since the move to the new office they had no space for more than one officer to process applications, and they had no time to process the applicants with appointments and the applicants without appointments. They had also received complaints that people were unable to get an online reservation. If you are already booked, then you will be seen at the appointed time, but no new appointments will be accepted.

The officer spoke good English, as did his assistant, who agreed with him. So there doesn't seem to be any case for misunderstanding.

This seems like a big step backwards to me, as they still have the same number of applications to process.

Thanks Delboy, that's useful information.

Last week my friend was able to get his and his wife's online reservations for November based on retirement. From what you wrote, they should got to Promenada and their appointments will be accepted? If anyone knows of a reason why this wouldn't be the case please post.

Also, because he was in such a hurry to get two appointments, he forgot to print the first one and he didn't note down the code number (yes, he admits to being a wally.) Does anyone know how to get back into the appointment to print?

Thanks for any help.

Thanks for the replies and info. I've been using Firefox with Hola for over a year without problems. I am now using Chrome with Zenmate and everything is fine. Thanks for the help.

BBC iplayer hasn't been working for a few days. Has anyone else had a problem?
