A Kuwaiti Drunk in Ramadan,Oh Dear what will Allah make of that ??

Ramadan is flexibel for travelers ...but this does not include consuming alcohol

Just in case this happens to OP too...

I did so last month - I got re-entry permit - and I came back on 25 April two days before the last day of my Non Imm Visa (27 April)

The Immigration officer at Suvarnabhumi was not familiar with having to stamp an entry for only two days and had to consult a superior but this person noticed immediately the stamp with the request to come to Immigration 30 days after my application for an extension (although this was on 5 May i.e. one week after my Non Imm O expired). Then everything was OK.

I am not sure what Immigration will do if you return after the last day of your Non Imm visa (of course before the invitation to come June 8th)

can this happen to any smartphone or only to some cheap imitation of better quality phones?

Consulting adults can do behind doors whatever they want ...but do not let them adopt children..

I cannot imagine to go to an open door day at school with my two fathers or two mothers...but of course I am old fashioned

This is right candidate for a seat on the Supreme Court

A group of like minded people have got together for an exotic evening. I am interested to know what laws they were actually breaking.

I guess the good news is all the potential instructors couldn't attend having been previously arrested.

May-be they visited Thailand to improved their health...

Apparently they started the 30 days for the report back on the date your current permit to stay ended. Some offices start it from the date you apply.

It is difficult to predict when it will be completed. It all depends upon what division 6 headquarters in Hat Yai workload for doing the approval is.

When it gets close to the report back date you should check with immigration in Phuket. Sometimes they can contact Hat Yai to find out if it has been done yet and/or have it expedited.

I applied for extension on 3 April and they put a stamp in my passport :"Application of stay is under consideration...applicant must contact this office again in person on 3 May"

Everything depends on the quality of our health and if there is a problem if we can pay for it

We live in a condo in Pathum Thani city which takes water from the city and pumps it up to a tank on the 18th floor

I think city water is Ok but I do not feel comfortable to drink water after it has been stored for a certain time on the top floor in the hot weather

Therefore my wife buys from a local supplier RO water in plastic bottles of probably 20 liters...but regretfully with this water even the most expensive tea has no more taste

For this reason I was thinking of using the tap water, boil and filter it like many years ago in India 

Many years ago I lived in India where the safest way to get drinking water was to boil water from the tap and then filter it in a very simple ceramic water filter (see attachment)

Can this kind of ceramic water filter be bought in Thailand?

If your dad is Australian you should have his nationality and not Thai nationality

Or did you acquire Thai nationality? Then how did you enter Thailand..which of passport?

Any way only Thai nationals can own land in Thailand

What happened to: "why would a 27 year old woman, hot enough to be a porn actress, want to shag a 60 year old guy? Money or career opportunities; somehow I seriously doubt it was for anything other than some kind of future benefit." ?

Melania knows the business : didn't you see her frontally nude photos as a "model" for French magazines?

I do not know any independent nation which will not resist by all means to break up in pieces...except the USSR

That is only required to appy for a non immigrant visa at immigration. 

Not needed to apply for an extension of stay based upon retirement.

I have applied since nearly 20 years for extension of non Imm O visa at Pathum Thani Immigration office - until last  year they never asked  that I should submit my affidavit legalised by my Embassy for translation and legalisation at the Consular Department of the MFA Chaengwattana.  But now they insist on this extra procedure which I consider as very normal : indeed the Immigration Department has only a copy of the officer(s) in charge of legalisation at Consular Department of the MFA....while these MFA officers have copies of all the signatures submitted by the  Consular Officer(s) of the Embassies. 

After my income increased to more than 800.000 Baht/year I could switch to extension of Non Imm O based on marriage to retirement : in fact it was the officer in the Immigration Office who told me I could do so if the money was in the bank on time. I did not need to return to my home country.

OP seems to indicate that blood pressure (BP) as well as pulse rate (PR) went down : my experience is that BP and  PR are unrelated...I can influence my BP with exercice and following diet but I cannot get my PR constantly higher than 60 (yes I have brachycardia)
