  10. My oath was similarly low key. I was asked to turn up in a suit, with a candle, a lotus flower and incense sticks - of the kind people use when they pray at the temple. The shrine where I took my oath was in a small room in Special Branch. I knelt before it, clutching my candle, lotus flower and incense in a wai, while reciting each line of the oath as it was read out by the officer. No grand ceremony, but I'll never forget it.
  11. That figures. My application was approved by Kongsak Wanthana (the IM during Thaksin 1). Then, following royal assent, it was enacted into law by Aree Wongsareeya (Prayuth's first IM, if I remember correctly, but after the coup). When you say that "the jungle grew over the trail again", do you mean that the dreaded indefinite limbo has returned? A poster here was worried that he's waited a year, which doesn't seem long, even when the system was working at its best. Are there people who have applied in recent years who haven't heard anything after prolonged periods of time?
