I don't know. I think mine is good advice. Since there are "rogue offices" reportedly in two different locations, what does it cost to give your office a call and make sure yours is not one of them?

What do you believe happens to you when you die?

I tried all the weight loss diets to no avail ,.What the hell (pun intended) I'll give it a try. -
Check with your local IO, I have heard that certain offices have been requesting that you get an Non O at the Thai embassy of the country you are doing a border run. It might require an overnight stay though. There is a thread running on that subject. Have a look

You guess wrong. Firstly a lot of the research that produced the innovations that are displacing workers was funded their taxes, in essence we are shareholders and if we are displaced by such innovations we should be compensated. There should be a tax on corporations that use robots to displace human workers , Which exactly what will eventually happen because if robots displace human workers who would buy their products? But before that happens there would be resistance, and a lot of pain , as it has happened during every transformation from one era to another. What is more pathetic is that much of the cattle are in support of the butchers on their way to the slaughterhouse. You got to love humans LOL

knowing what you know brings you to a certain conclusion,. Knowing what I know brings me to a different conclusion. Who is to know which of as is right? Perhaps we are both wrong -

You never left , so no need for a return ticket , but in the multiverse there is a reality where I get the 12.99 so be a good soldier and send me the damn 12.99???? Even better, there is a universe where many of you send me the 12.99 (plus shipping and handling , I forgot to mention that) so yea! lets go with that one. -

Ukraine ofcourse , but I see your point. For different reasons it could apply to all the players. -

You are immortal But this particular biological computer with it's particular data is younique and highly improbable , but since it exists posible. How does the improbable become possible? Number of rolls of the dice , given enough roles of the dice eventually the improbable combination that is you will come up . So what is nessacery for that to happen? Time, Given enough time rolling the dice it is inevitable that the improbable combination that is you will occur So what is time to a dead person? For you,the improbable combination, time stops. but it continues elsewhere, and eventually your number comes it might take longer that the life of this universe but perhaps in the next or the next to that it will happen . The law of probability demands it. But as we said , while you were dead time had stopped for you. So from your perspective , between the time you died and the time you occurred again no time has passed. it is like a strobe light blinking at a certain frequency. Increase the frequency, will decrease the time between each strobe until it becomes one solid light. So every moment of your life however improbable always exists. You are information combined in different ways and interacting with other information, Given enough computing powered your information can be digitized transmitted and reconstructed, Which is the basis for the theory of teleportation. but then unless you destroy the original you end up with two copies which is a Pairofducks ???? Ok so information can not be destroyed..Information is Imortall and as such You are immortal. This is a cursory explanation, For $12.99 I can PM you the fool version ???? Sorry that was a Freudian Slip, I meant to say full version. -

Political football between the US and Russia with the Ukrainian's being the ball. With the propaganda from both sides. If you think you know what's going on there. you know nothing. Beautiful country, beautiful people , so sad. -
Two possible reasons first covit hurt vendors, now , as I am sure you are aware prices on everything is going up, We are all complaining about that and food vendors are trying to keep their prices as low as possible so that their customers can afford and buy their product. So because of it quality is suffering. Or...... You had covid and it affected your taste buds. or both

The laziness of not wanting to do it right and get a visa at the Thai embassy in Laos, and coming back visa exempt . I don't know why we are even talking about this, If the IO tells you to do it there Do it there! \ Whether you do it there, or come visa exempt, and do it here there is no difference in your investment . Either way you have to do it. So I don't get it why we are even talking about that. PS: when my friend complained about the small discrepancy in hos monthly deposits, and said that in Bangkok he would have the option to do a combination deposit/and income, He was told this is not bangkok . THIS.... Is .. SPARTA !! and he was kicked down a well ????

I know, what can you do, Play the game. I keep the funds required deposited year round, . I do the marriage so it is only 400k. The best I can do in a safe investment environment in the US is 4.7%, the interest would only be something like $500 , not worth the trouble IMO and that's in a 1 year treasury, a six month, that I would need if I has to sufle the money around is even les. Anyway a month before my extension while abroad we purchases a property that became available there were funds scuffled by my wife to cover the transaction until money was transferred from the US, and the balance feld a little below the required amount. The marriage extension is not approved at the local office but elsewhere, That's why you get an " under consideration" stamp until it comes back, which sometimes it can take a month. So sometimes the IO hand are tied . being from a central office policy. or a supervisor. They have to protect their jobs also. You remember how it was when you worked, and corporate politics? It is easy for us to blame them, but they have a job to do with in the environment they exist. Anyway, always a pleasure to talk with you, especially in this rainy monday morning.

No it is not!! but thank you for asking. In the link to the previous thread quoted in this he says: " Yesterday, I have been to Mae Sai Immigration Office and they refused to allow me to apply for a Non O visa "retirement" because I currently have a Non OA extension of stay, even if I kill off it by doing a border bounce and come back with a 30 days visa exempt. They told me that I have to apply for a O visa "retirement" at the Thai Embassy in Vientiane, Laos" What is wrong with that? if you are in Laos , why not get your" O visa "retirement" " at the Thai embassy there? and come back visa exempt. I mean other than laziness and convenience. And why shouldn't the Thai IO in Thailand not be miffed for taking your laziness to him? Same applies for the Roi Et example. If you are going to do a visa run to Laos (or anywhere else ) do it right, My friend went Vientiane two weeks ago, to extend his stay because he was using the income meathead and there was a problem with his last months deposit coming a few days early and being posted on the previous month, so he needed a couple of months to have the required amount of deposits. He went to the Thai embassy, got his visa . came back and has no problems. IMO, people should not complain about the misfortunes resulting from their laziness. If the IO tells you to to get a visa at the embassy of the country you are going on and not come back visa exempt. Do it. And before making border run check with your local immigration for their local requirements. Finally ,develop a good relationship with the office you do business with, you will be amazed how many rincles a bit of good will smooths. But if not. Up tp you. Some enjoy spitting in the wind.

Unfortunately not everyone knows, and I am sure you know that Gay pride parades are not just "drag queen" shows , They are an expression of the gay community's many aspects that also includes "drag queens". And what is wrong with drag queens? and having children exposed to them.??You were exposed to the lifestyle, and you did not turn gay. It is truly ridiculous and boggles the mind that some one (not you) could think that exposure to a different nature would cause someone to change theirs. And what is wrong with cross dressing if one wants to do that? what harm does it cause to society? None!! but I will tell you what harm it causes to the individual who wishes to do so. In some countries he/she is killed. in others they are forced to compromise their sexuality and lives . forded to live a lie ,and pretend to be something they are not. Their is nothing worse that living a life compromised to that extend. IMO death is better. And some chose to take their own lifes!! And then there is all the injustice such as your Dad getting fired for being "So gay" . Did he do the job for which he was hired? That should be the only consideration, And even if his coworkers had a problem with it, that's their problem , they should me fired. Sorry to unload on you. You are also a victim of the homophobes, because your dad is gay . your life was compromised to a certain degree. They have you so traumatized you are afraid of the truth. Before you call me any names, please take one thing I said above and describe how it is wrong, One thing, just one thing. , Perhaps you should thing of Eyes wide open, it's the homophobes that have their eyes shut, not me.

"Oh, what a tangled web we weave, when first we practice to deceive!" LOL Thank you for explaining that. After 18 years of coming to thailand I no longer do visa runs, but when I did , I got an actual visa, (mostly from Laos) and I would think especially now that the frown upon visa runs I think the IOs think that you are trying to subvert the system, which of course you are. Perhaps the Op had more than one previous :visa runs . In fact last year U came back from europe visa exempt twice But as I said I came back visa exent often, but after having several extensions and perhaps it helps having gone to the immigration office . in khon Kaen enough time that they know me by my first name and while waiting on the chairs officers and the supervisor stop to say hi. Anyway as I said thank you for explaining this to me,
