An idiot, he broke down when it was found. In the loo of the plane doing a last line before landing. Did not pick the right place to stash it on exiting the bathroom and got done. No, was that was slipped in by an immigration officer. Think about it- seriously.

Very good for Thailand exporters!

 

Not good for Thailand importers 🙂

thailand is primarily export which includes tourism

he made 2 mistakes 

1. Going to phuket

2. not agreeing the fare before his journey and being a knob

but I won't miss it as a government pension wouldn't even cover my monthly booze bill.

I have been living here 24 years on a pension, not old enough yet for a state pension in the UK, I pay tax on my income, it does cover my booze bill lol, horses for courses

The Bank of Thailand has not yet intervened with measures to strengthen the baht

oh like increasing interest rates lol

said it many times, this is good for exports and tourism - not sure I see many downsides unless of course you are a local wanting to invest outside Thailand

Of course, but it's not quite the tragedy it first appears when reading about it.

 

the tragedy is driving while under the influence, the fact nobody died doesn't make it ok

at the office is a nightmare, no longer a simple "present passport" 10mins and your done

photo copies - form filling - waiting around for over an hour, 12 month extension is almost easier, what are they trying to achieve - going backwards

THANKS. I'm  in a bit of bother here, as Ive scrolled though my saved emails and cannot find any from IO which provides the log on. fortunately, I do have my password. i'll get off my ass and locate where to log in to. again, appreciate the advice, it seems so logical - must have missed doing that, due to living here too long 🙂

should i worry? 90 day is due May 4. neither wife nor I have received our email notifications. (I just turned off my vpn, which is on, 24/7). the travel issue: same problem for us, its a 250 km round trip and if I have to attend personally, my wife is disabled and unable to attend. I imagine if I have her passport and form signed, that will be accepted. tia for any updates on the system.

do it now, you don't need the email, just log in and submit your details

do you know who I am

I give a little praise to the police involved

General Surachate Hakparn, popularly known as 'Big Joke', made his return to the Royal Thai Police headquarters this Thursday.

 

The former top police officer pledged to take legal actions against what he strongly believes is an internal conspiracy aimed at thwarting his chances of becoming Commissioner.

they really don't like him

if he becomes the next police chief - he could really ## them up, he gets my vote

Signs of excessive tourism in Pattaya include heavy traffic

555

so what is the message here - they want to reduce the number of tourists

I think they are reading a few stupid headlines recently from spain etc 

meanwhile visa free travel is being offered to more and more countries  because ?
