Would these activation keys (bought from the eBay) work if you change computers?

Yes, check the Bluetooth versions on both the speaker and the PC

Not all Thai consulates handle it the same way. Where do plan to apply?

 

Look for the non-immigrant visa category O/A or the Long-Stay visa on the consulate's website.

 

The money can be in any currency in any country.

If you are asking about the Non-Immigrant 'O-A' Visa; It is valid for 1 year from issue and allows multiple entries during that year. Each time you enter the country you are granted permission to stay for 1 year. You need the equivalent of 800K in a bank account, usually in your home country or a Thai bank, OR any income of at least 65K per month, OR a combination of the two. You don't need to be retired, just be over 50.

 

If you are asking about extending your stay after you've entered the country; you need to enter with a Non-Immigrant visa and then apply to extend your stay at a local immigration office. You need at least 800K in a Thai bank, OR a certified (by your embassy) income of 65K pm, OR a combination of the two. You must be over 50. You don't need to show proof that you have retired.

You don't have to put in a Thai bank or show monthly income. The money in a US bank is good enough. I guess even your IRA or 401K will be good enough. There is a youtube video where a person got it showing money in an IRA. Yes, you need to be 50 or more. You get an O-A visa good for one year and if entry timed correctly, you can stay up to two years. 

The 800K Baht does not need to be in a Thai Bank?

During his routine medical check, O'Flannagan  asked the doctor, "Do you think I'll live a long and healthy life?"

"I doubt it", said the doctor, "Mercury is in Uranus right now."

O'Flannagan  said, "I don't go in for any of that astrology crap,you know !."

"Neither do I", replied the doctor, "My thermometer just broke inside your rear orifice."

Yes. Even if your line is disconnected. I was out for over 8 months and when i top up my previous balance was still available plus you can still extend your validity period on dtac online when your session is expired. I think it costs like 6 baht a month. you just need to login and get your subscription to the network available

That's pretty cool

Which capital city is introducing measures to deal with wild peacocks?

I use Dtac, your money stays in your account until the next top up. 

For how long?

For example if you top up 50 BAHT on January 1st, 2018 will it last till January 1st, 2019 if you dont use or top up?

Before changing providers, check their terms & conditions too. This limited time policy on pre-paid accounts are quite common in most countries - the period varies between companies.

I too changed from True to AIS

Why come there at all, in that case? Better be in your own safe country.

Nothing would justify a killing IMHO

Farangs are not immune to outrageous ,idiotic,crimalistic behavior.It just is that in the western, more modern world through a sence of family love and the teachings of right and wrong they lean more to tolerance and understanding then the people of LOS whom have rarely been exposed to these teachings. and yes,we have those kind of people also.

Some people seem to think he should get what he deserves and more, why more ?

 

Surely what he deserves is enough ?

 

It's a good job he had no drugs or he would really be in trouble. 5 to 10 years max.

Just for the simple reason so that he or anyone else would be deterred in doing something like that in the future. Sure, it will be impossible to stop murders 100% - but stringent deterrents would help IMHO. No one has a right to take another's life, whatever the reason, and it cannot be justified in any way.

Just my 2 cents...

I think people will find this unusually high violence for a westerner, so will not attribute to any cultural failings. Perhaps the man has gone native.

Would posters bashing the UN be more happy if it had an army under its direct command, and the authority to use it?

No.

But would be very happy if the UN is unbiased and stop wasting donors funds meant for the poor and do the job they are supposed to do.

I started to watch and then stopped, I can't watch anything on any subject that is so anti-everything apart from what they are preaching - does nobody present balanced objective arguments any longer.

The TVF is really not the place to look for it ( balanced objective arguments)!

An economist went to a lingerie shop to buy a bra for his wife. While he proudly announced to the salesgirl that he is an economist, he also confessed that only thing he knows about bra is 'how to unhook', and he really needed some expert help in making the purchase.

The smart salesgirl asked, "Sir, you want a capitalistic, socialistic or democratic bra?"

Of course, our economist was intrigued and he asked, "What are they?"

Salesgirl : "Sir, capitalistic suppresses the masses, socialistic uplifts the downtrodden and democratic makes mountains out of molehills."...

It must be something very serious. 10 pages X  #146 posts!

 The day this ignorant man eventually run out of luck, he might fly out of a 15 story building or obstruct a piece of lead.

Anyone experienced an in coming call from this number? - +668900687550

This evening, whilst I was shopping I heard my phone ring and saw this number. As I did not recognize the number, I rejected it. But, when checking the phone log, I saw an incoming call with a duration of 4.52 minutes - and the best part was that I was charged for this INCOMING call!

I was not in Thailand at the time.

Any comments?

Thank you.

maybe there is a housing shortage due to the impossibility of planning for an economy that allows hundreds of thousands of immigrants in every year? 

Dunno, that;s probably racist.

Ooooh, dont worry about racism or been considered a racist. It will exist as long as the humans exists. It's just that when Thai's or people of developing countries show this, they are accused of been xenophobic!

After all... we all know who started racism!
