What were the defendants in this case guilty of(?), I never heard what exactly happened in this case, my wife doesn't really know either. I followed it for a while on the news but like a lot of cases in LOS, lots of grey areas.

You are not converting anything.

You are applying for a 12 month extension of your permission of stay. 

You can do that 30 days prior to expiry of your permit.

The 800k will need to have been in your Thai bank account for 2 months + on day of application 

Thanks, one million baht stays in my account just for extensions/visas.

I recently received a 3 month non-O visa which I will be converting to a one year retirement extension. The visa expires on Dec 22, when can I go convert the visa? Can I go early--say one month before, or do I need to wait until closer to the date it expires? Thanks in advance.  

They'd have an extra 300 baht to spend if it wasn't going to be used as a "tourist tax" upon entering!

Its time to standardise the requirements at all thai embassies

Exactly! I hate when you apply with documents that have worked somewhere else--and for years, and the requirements have changed. More hoop jumping required.

Try WD40 or Sonax....

I tried WD, always works on most things but didn't even touch the mango juice. 

My neighbor has a large mango tree--the green type, that overhangs into the street. I don't park under it directly but I still get mango juice on my car. Does anyone know what will take this off the finish. I've tried various penetrating oils, waxes and other things and all have failed to take it off. Any ideas?

Thanks in advance for any suggestions.. 

Free watches for the masses!!!

Hunt in another country. The stories are endless of people getting ripped off here.

Abandon hope all ye who enter here.

It just seems to thin from the enviornment. 

I know what you mean; I've had numerous covers for cars/motorcycles and none of them lasted very long. Like you say, they seem to get thin--and papery from environmental factors. Same with some plastic items over here, they just get brittle and turn into a powder over time.

Once I left it under the cover and salon was full of fungi..

I had the same issue with a car I stored for two years. I thought I was doing the right thing by covering it up, but like you say, mold started growing on the leather upholstery. The paint was in good condition though. If I did it again I'd definitely have someone start the car at least every couple of weeks and run the AC.

Do you have Thai bank account in place with required funds. 

Yes, more than enough and has been in there for years.....just for the visa. Thanks

I entered Thailand on visa exempt; just curious when I can apply for Non-immi O visa. Can I apply anytime within the 30 days or do I have to wait until closer to it expiring? I know when renewing the Non immi O they want you to wait until 2-3 weeks--depending on the office, before it expires. Sorry if this has been asked before; couldn't find it in the search. Thanks in advance.

I didn't use to wear one riding either, then as I started going in and out of businesses it turned into a matter of convenience. Helmet off, mask on, shop, mask off, helmet on, just easier to leave it on if multiple stops are anticipated.

They JUST don't get it, do they?! TIT!

IMO, If you're a rich, well connected Thai you can probably get away with it, anybody other than that, not advisable.

Hmmmm, guess he didn't see this.

Sad to say this, but it's going to take more killings before people are mad enough to DEMAND something be done. It's always the same ol' rhetoric from the politicians, "Our hearts and prayers go out to all the family members". How about DOING something instead of just talking! I bet if it's was the politicians kids or family getting killed they would be all over the issue immediately and change would happen.

Agree, Red Bull heir comes to mind........plus many others.

I'm not a fan of some of the Immi officers at Jomtien immigration but after visiting the place for many years and listening to some of the clueless people they have to deal with on a daily basis I can understand their frustration with foreigners. Saying that; they knew what they were going to have to deal with when they signed up for the job. Suck it up buttercup! And I'm sure most of them are doing alright money wise........people who've been in Thailand many years will know what I mean.
