This is a horrible intersection. It's downhill from where the truck comes from and they absolutely floor it across the intersection. Many times they flash their lights and run the red lights as they are too arsed to stop and wait for the next green light. I travel from the opposite side multiple times a week and always wonder how there are not more serious accidents there.

You current extension will still be valid.

Thank you ????

Hi,

I’m currently on a Non O marriage extension of stay that expires in April 2023. When I applied for this we used my salary income to fulfil the financial requirements.

My current contract ends at the end of this month. My questions is do I need to reapply for a new Non O extension on Oct 1 (with bank deposit of 400000 as financial requirement), or will my current extension be valid until April 2023 even though I would no longer be working as of Oct 1?

Thanks,

He was encouraged by Rick Stanton to continue, though their communications appeared to stop once the rescue mission started. 

 

Probably not so useful to him if he's already living here and on yearly visa extensions. 

Someone might have already posted this,,

I do not assume he is crooked, or is paid under the table, or is robbing the treasury.  He may have a very high salary and chooses to spend his money on expensive watches and rings.  I would be curious about how much he is paid. As a supposed public are their purported salary figures available to the public?

According to a report in Bangkok post he's on approximately 110,000baht per month.

Just curious here as I do have a VR device (Oculus Rift) and don't use it for porn. I did not even know that VR porn was available.. and VR devices are quite expensive and need a real good computer (for the Oculus Rift you need at least an I7 processor and a top of the line VGA card (think 20k bt).

 

So I really wonder how a country like Thailand would be world leader if it takes expensive devices (oculus is not even for sale in Thailand). 

 

But of course I could be totally wrong. 

 

*edit* I am wrong.. .there are far cheaper VR devices... that explains it. Oculus is top of the line

Prove what? He admitted to taking the money, didn't he? The head honchos at the police force declared that such payments were acceptable, didn't they?

They sure did

Please stay at the sideline mr Prayuth, we don't want BKK to become a warzone again. That's not good for tourism, business and the relation among people in the whole country.

 

I also fear the corruption to come back. 

Corruption to come back, when did it ever leave?

No doubt an extra fee would be collected from foreigners to finance this scheme.

Spot on! They would definitely make us pay for it. Would be interesting to see who's behind the company supplying the cards/technology
