And then they altered the constitution after the referendum... They should have been in jail for committing treason against the state.

Sure... but not by usurping the democratic process, then holding power as a military government for several years, and then creating a pseudo-democracy with a senate in its back pocket, and supine governmental bodies.

I'll miss you, the Oracle of Ubon. Obviously, like many other people here, I noticed several weeks ago that you were absent from the forum. But it is still a shock. I genuinely think there will now be a statistically noticeable uptick in the number of illegal overstays or other infractions, since without Joe's advice and calm certainty few expats will have a clue. I wondered to myself just what Joe did to so brilliantly master the Byzantine visa rules of Thailand. He certainly seemed to know the rules better than most immigration officers. I still would like to know. His calm, kind demeanor will be an asset even in heaven. RIP joe.

The problem is that touching a mobile phone screen does not require many calories. Combine that with the reality that empty calories are often very tasty and very cheap and very addictive. Thailand is facing this problem like everybody else. In the UK now, 23% of 11-year-olds are obese (not fat, but obese); it was 13%, 20 years ago. That figure of 13% was regarded as alarming at that time. Our only real hope is that their fat fingers will no longer be able to scroll their mobile phones, and instead they will be forced to do marathon runs as an alternative hobby. Some say this is a wildly optimistic hope of mine.

Not so far mentioned is that you will get a large red stamp in your passport pointing out this crime of failing to report. This will probably will not have any consequences, although the Elite visa system does appear to be sensitive to such infractions in your past.

Botox is an important pain management agent. Overuse of it undermines this use. Do you really want a doctor in a few years time telling you that the agonising neck pain you have can only be effectively relieved by Botox, and then finding out that it no longer has the right effect on you?

What I find strange about this is that both my Apps for Kasikorn and TTB both announced around 3 weeks ago they would need facial scanning recognition to proceed, but then a couple of days later both announced on the Apps that I had waived the requirement. I had not done anything except pressed "agreed" to using facial scanning. After that, both Apps then blocked me from using the Apps until I disabled the "accessibility" function on my phone. This function on the Samsung S20, allows Apps to "watch" other Apps. In my case, I use it among other things for an antivirus App and a YouTube ad skipper App as well as around 5 other Apps. I did this a couple of times and the banking Apps worked fine as long as the accessibility function was off. There was no sign of any facial scanning. Around a week ago, the Kasikorn app started working again without any demand to switch off "accessibility". The TTB App continues to demand that I remove the accessibility function (this would take around 5 to 10 minutes each and every time I switch on the TTB app, making it functionally useless should I for example want to buy a coffee by scanning through the App). I find this pretty bizarre since nobody has seemed to mention these extra demands of the Apps on Thaivisa, as well as the odd way the banks are working in lockstep.

Not correct in some ways. If I state what I'm writing is incorrect, when it turns out to be incorrect, then my post is entirely correct. It follows the same structural homology as the liar's paradox.

There are a variety of ways to note my bewilderment. One is to notice the contents of my post where I state that I am genuinely bewildered. My bewilderment can also be inferred from the structure of my post. Thirdly, my appeal to others and my caution as to the accuracy of my post also display my genuine bewilderment. I'm glad that from that you are able to a certain that I am genuinely bewildered.

This was designed by those countries as a bribe to get the students to pay the exorbitant fees for those expensive countries. The UK has become a great deal less generous to foreign students in recent years.

You are not giving "them" your bank account details, you are giving Lazada/Shopee etc. your bank account details. Please explore the endless discussions on this topic in the forum.

I don't know about your country, But my recollection for the emergency travel documents is they can only be used to enter your Motherland. Not sure though...

As has been endlessly pointed out on this forum, you should not use COD.

If there is no bacterial infection, this is famously challenging and frustrating. To quote the Merck's Medical Dictionary: "Chronic prostatitis/chronic pelvic pain syndrome Treatment is difficult and often unrewarding. In addition to considering any and all of the above treatments, anxiolytics (eg, selective serotonin reuptake inhibitors [SSRIs], benzodiazepines), sacral nerve stimulation, biofeedback, prostatic massage, and minimally invasive prostatic procedures (such as microwave thermotherapy) have been attempted with varying results."

I'm genuinely bewildered by this post and I noticed nobody else has touched it. Are you suggesting that you will apply for a new British passport whilst you are on a 30 day holiday in Thailand? Let's be clear: that will be impossible. It will take at least a couple of months for your passport to arrive after you've applied in Bangkok. I also think you cannot apply for a new passport from Thailand unless you are living in Thailand. A tourist visa presumably removes that possibility of claiming that you are "living" here. I hope you can clarify your intentions and I also hope other people will help me and you out on what you're trying to do.

I quite admire this.

My passport couldn't be read by the e-gate kiosk. I received the exit/departure stamp from the human.

This is an interesting edge case. She is strictly speaking following the Woke Bible by suggesting there is a hierarchy of victimhood and she correctly places the people whose ancestors were on slaveships as the ones who may claim the most victim points. Normally the biblical position on this would be met without resistance. But she presented the commandments of Wokeness in an inverted form which allowed her to be attacked. If she had only stated the blacks were at the top of the pyramid she would have been fine. Instead she described who was at the bottom, or near the bottom of the pyramid. Obviously the entire Woke Bible's claims are nonsense for any enlightened liberal. It cannot possibly make any difference to your life situation as to whether your great great great great grandfather was on a slaveship or not. But this is where we are today. She lost on a technicality.

Using the KBank App, simply set the daily amount limit of the account to zero. This will block all and every attempt by any means to deduct money.

Every time the topic of ants turns up, one person quietly gives the perfect answer (apply Bayer Quantum), but it always gets drowned out by pointless discussions of all the useless devices, like chalk, available at the convenience store. To the OP: buy the Quantum from Lazada, apply a tiny patch to your desk, be free of any ants for around 2 months, possibly 3. Your neighbours will probably also find themselves free of ants.

Since my last update broke the news before any news site on the planet, I should rename my updates, 'Breaking News!'. Zipmex has submitted documents to the Singapore Court for a 2 months extension of the creditor moratorium. According to the affidavits, they have found three different parties who might have various levels of interest. Party in which they might have the most hope is a Thai company listed on the stock exchange. I suspect the court will give them an extension but not of 2 months. Probably a month.

What isn't mentioned here but which relates specifically to people with regrets on their deathbeds: What is quite fascinating but is something the dying will only quietly mention to academic researchers is the distancing from the loved ones in the final days. Despite the impression that the "Disney death", where a huge family surrounds the dying person, and they go gently into the night, it turns out that is not what the dying person is thinking. In fact, they are preparing for the next journey. Wherever they are going it is not with their family or close ones. They are preparing in their head to distance themselves from their family. You are their past. The family being around the bed with them is quite awkward for them. This is obviously such a taboo that even close to death they will not mention it. But could be reassuring to any members who have no family with them now.

No. Because your old employer must inform them that you are no longer working with them. Immigration will need that letter with a date on it to type into their computer when your work permission ended. I recommend that you ask your current employer to end your employment in 3 weeks time in the future (the maximum length of time in advance you may apply for a new work permit and visa with a new employer). Your new employers then have three weeks to get the paperwork together to make the application. Press them to put the paperwork together. My memory is, counter-intuitively, you need the visa before the work permit issued. This necessarily means there is a period when you are working without a work permit. It follows you should apply for a re-entry permit with the current visa. Do not use leaving and entering the country as a way to deal with this issue. (I would be interested in feedback on my suggestion)

The key moment of decline was when they all but abandoned trying to provide a serious cheese selection. It is 10 years+ since they stocked French Heritage Camembert, the greatest cheese to have existed. Now, a pack of processed cheese sandwich slices is the best you'll find.

Very expansive selection for detecting cancer. Diabetes is simple enough. And... for neuropathy, not so simple.
