Why is a university trip allowed (?) to take place but school trips are currently banned?

Except for the top line, that's how it is appearing to me.

Currently using Firefox (to get Youtube with no ads-Origin) but i have the same issue when I use Chrome. Windows 11.

Yesterday, I screen saved this. The link shows /tha. Today, the link is via /ind. Odd.

Great. If only i knew how!

I will give that e-mail a go. Thx. Being a public holiday today I'm guessing I'll have to wait until tomorrow for a response.

No VPN on. Same issue when I use my son's computer. That link I gave above is the first google hit for "VFS Thailand appointment" search.

Blocked as well!

If this is in the wrong place I apologize. I've been trying to get an appt. to renew my UK passport. Access to VFS Thailand has been blocked for the last 2 days. https://visa.vfsglobal.com/ind/en/tha/schedule-an-appointment Any help/idea's?

Shopee; Ultrasonic dog deterent, 80 baht. Sorted.... Stops the pack of soi dogs from congregating and barking/howling outside my front gates. No audible sound to wake the neighbours. Flashing torch light and ultrasonic audio and they disappear. Dont know why it took me so many years to get one. I will upgrade to the motion detector models for the gate entrances and keep the handheld device on my motorbike in case of being attacked whilst on the roads. Hope this info can help some of you with similar problems.

Creating content and recieving money for it. Would Thailand view that as work and therefore taxable and requires a work permit? We can all but hope!

Will vendors have to pay VAT as the increase in sales may take many over the VAT threshold? Why would sellers currently under the tax radar join the scheme if they then get a large tax bill as a thank-you?

Yes. BBC iPlayer, ITVX, All4 and My5 (UK) are all suffering from the broken cables. I use Getflix not Perfect Player. The cables to Australia (Ch7/Ch9/Ch10) and New Zealand seem to be fine using Getflix. TVNZ has the catchup Euro 2024 football in good quality.

If your experiencing buffering recently with iPlayer, All4 etc. (Broken Internet cables/Houtis?) I've found TVNZ (English commentary/free to register) with my VPN is working at a much better quality stream than the UK at the moment.

I was there last Thursday 23rd May. It was crazy busy. I arrived at 8.55am to a huge snaking queue. I was finally seen at 4.55pm and processed by grumpy overworked staff and thankfully given a passport collection ticket number 491 for the next day, Friday. There were at least another 60+ people behind me in the queue. (There were big concerns that with the number of applicants it may be after the weekend before they could process our passports.) They had to abandon the 2 hour window to apply (9am-11am). It rained all day long. Wet travel bags and a sea of umbrellas. The majority of the queue were Myanmar people escaping from their country via the education visa route. At Thai Immigration, on my return, the next day they had a holding area set up for the "Students". Non-o's were waved up the steps and given a scaled down information form to fill in(Myanmar people were given the full usual form to fill in). No bag checks done to Non-O's to speed up the process. Talking to many of the Myanmar people in the queue it was obvious that these were the highly educated ones. Many had studied overseas to a high level and the level of English was very good. I asked one how had he been allowed out of their country now that I thought there was conscription there. He said he left through the main airport. He said he was lucky. I didn't delve any deeper as to how. A Myanmar humanitarian crisis is happening and Thailand seems to be trying to help as best it can. I applaud the Thai consulate staff for doing their best on a very stressful day.
