  1. Totally agree. My engagement with the site is down 90%, although I imagine most people don't arrive via the RSS feed, so it's a very low priority for them.
  2. @george Please don't forget to bring back/recreate this feed. My interaction with this forum is far lower quality without it. That feed gives instant updates on every page that I can drop in on. Thanks.
  3. Never fill in any of the fields which are not required. Leave them blank.
  4. Out of curiosity, I visited the Tak Bai district police station about 10 years back. They had a wall of random objects like desks, chairs mixed in with barbed wire, covering the front area of the station. But otherwise, there was nothing strange about the village. The only police officer I saw was jovially chatting to locals at a nearby crossroads. Should you be interested, I can recommend the astonishingly beautiful beach nearby.
  5. One of the many remarkable and stupid things during the Covid crisis was the total failure of the governments to tell us to stay fit and strong. Not only was it extremely obvious to the attentive during the Covid pandemic that the healthy were the least likely to suffer, but the mass panic actually caused many people to give up exercise out of anxiety of the pandemic. I can recall seeing a newspaper headline stating some remarkable percentage of British women simply quit exercise. If you looked at the infamous categories of risk, almost all were related to failures to look after their bodies. One factor held in common by most of the risk categories was being overweight. Only the risk factors of pregnancy and old age were truly out of the patients' control. To make matters worse the governments actually introduced restrictions on visiting parks or going outside, making it very difficult to exercise. It really was stupidity built upon stupidity. Government policy controlled by public anxiety and paranoia is never the best way to govern. I hope they have all learnt from it.
  6. This is definitely not the case at Bangkok Immigration. I have done online after returning from abroad. It might be the official means if you are entering on a new visa. But if entering on a visa extension, and very probably entering on a multiple entry visa, then it'll get accepted by the system. The system on this issue is linked at Bangkok Immigration.
  7. Doing this in Bangkok will result in an automatic rejection. Samut Prakan Immigration clearly have decided to follow their own path.
  8. I second this. The only way I look at AseanNow is through the general feed. And now it's gone.
  9. I asked this exact question on the forum 4 months ago. It is shocking how ambiguous the list is that they provide. I can tell you with absolute certainty that they do allow a mobile phone.
  10. This suggests you have a very high BMI. You wouldn't believe how many illnesses and problems can arise from simply being overweight. Lose the weight. Get your BMI down to 22 or 23. Eat one meal a day. Only eat in a 8 hour period. 16 hours with no food. No snacks and only drinks with no milk or water (black coffee or ginger or good ol' water) during the 16 hour fast. You'll rapidly lose weight and start to feel great. You won't feel hunger after around the first 14 hours; your body will rapidly adapt. Your bank manager will be happy with the food cost savings. But your doctor will be over the moon.
  11. "Nice country you've got there. Would be a shame if it got suffocated by pollution'
  12. That won't work. It'll certainly catch a lot of flies because they are attracted to ultraviolet light. After a few days I will be a pile of flies in it. But mosquitoes are no more attracted to ultraviolet light than humans are.
  13. >Thai Immigration Police has entered the chat
  14. Wow. It was a thousand. But I suppose if I had a 1,000 tablespoons to remove the water it would have been about as effective...
  15. Thais on Facebook immediately figured out what was really going on...
