Same. My only gripe is having to wait 7 working days for a 12 month bank statement (for my extension of stay based on monthly income). AFAIK other banks can print a statement while you wait.

I don't think Bob would choose Perfidious Albion as a nickname. More likely a hater of the English.

This is puzzling. School run this morning, Sattahip, not a single parent or child wearing a mask. Shopping in Big C this evening, not a single customer or member of staff wearing a mask as far as I could see. Out last evening, Bang Saray restaurant and bars - no masks there. I was in Jomtien Immigration last week, maybe one or two staff with masks, perhaps they had colds and didn't want to spread their germs. I rarely see anyone masked up these days.

Janice Nicholls. She was cute.

Local Mayor said "We heard the incident about the man who shielded the young girl from attack and he was horrendously injured himself. Our thoughts and prayers are with him, but it shows that everyday people are capable of extraordinary things. You don't know what you'll do when you're put in that horrendous circumstance."

By mistake I switched on my defrost rear window on my Everest and now have something resembling bubble wrap.

I don't suppose the mother could have ever thought something so awful could happen. But a 5 year old and a baby should never have been left alone.

IIRC - PM Thaksin set up a small loans system in villages all over Thailand. I think it was 1,000,000 B to each village, to be administered by an elected committee. I wonder if it still exists.

AI search result. AI Overview Yes, since your stepson is 19 and no longer a minor, he will likely need to pass the Life in the UK test and meet the English language requirements to apply for indefinite leave to remain (ILR). When he was under 18, this was not required, but now that he is 19, he must meet the requirements for adult applicants. Age requirement: Once a person turns 18, they must take the Life in the UK test to apply for ILR. Visa status: He must have been a dependent on a family visa before turning 18 and be applying for ILR based on that status. Other requirements: He will also need to meet the English language requirements, and his application must still not be living an independent life.

That is odd. I can get shopping deliveries from Tops (Central Festival Pattaya Beach Mall) all the way out to Bang Saray.
