  1. I think it is very disrespectful to refer to any Buddhist temple as a "dastardly tourist temple", regardless of its location. Therefore, IMO, you do not deserve a blessing nor a white string.
  2. I think you missed a couple of zeros. 300,000,000,000 divided by 2,000 divided again by 12 months = 12,500,000. So, 12.5 million elderly folks.
  3. "Friendly gesture" "Harmless thank-you" More like stupid and dangerous prank. I hope the passenger is identified and prosecuted.
  4. Plenty of poor farm girls taking advantage of foreigners too. Those girls may not have been well educated, but they were/are clever enough to make a good living.
  5. In this case it is reported that the gun was taken from a police officer.
  6. Sitting at a table that is already occupied seems strange to me, unless they are friends.
  7. Yet you seem happy to be enjoying his sloppy seconds.
  8. Context: The Invitation: Emails reveal that Prince Andrew invited convicted sex offender Jeffrey Epstein and a "very cute" Romanian model in her early 20s to a private dinner at Buckingham Palace in September 2010.
  9. Looks like Andy and Mandy are going to be the sacrificial lambs (they deserve it). Hopefully, the buck will not stop there.
  10. Those power showers make you feel tingly all over.
  11. I'm sure they can come to a compromise arrangement. "The Trump-Smithsonian Institution" has a certain appeal.
  12. Top cops don't even get out of bed for that sort of money.
  13. Rubber flip-flops and bamboo ladders have probably saved thousands (maybe hundreds of thousands) of lives, but I'm not sure that is the reason for their popularity. More likely it's cheapness. And, of course, 3-pin sockets are no guarantee that an earth (ground) is present.
  14. Well done that Frenchman! Hope he doesn't get sued for defamation.
  15. I was never asked for it before, so I turned up and was sent away to get it updated. So, yes, the day before may be ok.
  16. It would be good to hear from someone who has gained their extension recently, without the 2 letters. Regarding proof of source. It's been asked for on my last 3 extensions but, as you know, rules can vary even between different officers. Edit for correction: It was asked for about 3/4 years ago and I have included it in my application ever since. Never given back, so I assumed it was still required.
  17. At Jomtien (October 2025) I needed ... Bank book updated on the day of application 12 month bank statement showing monthly deposits of 65,000+ Normal bank letter (as you posted above) A second bank letter - itemizing each foreign transfer Proof of source of income - letter from my pension provider ... plus the usual ID and proof of address. Got my statement and letters from BBL inside Central Pattaya Beach Mall. I hope the OP will give an update when he gets his extension.
  18. Image search says Ford Crestliner 1950 ... https://vanderbrink-live.s3.amazonaws.com/auction5312/3_6.jpg
