All these committees and meetings to work out how to make it appear it’s easier for foreigners to enter or remain without it really being any easier.
Here’s a hint; just make it easier.-

The Royal Thai Police is considering charging Pakpoom with violating the Computer Crimes Act as his intention might be to damage the authority’s image
Reminds me of the cheating husband who's caught by the wife - "But you weren't supposed to be back until tomorrow!"

Absolutely shocking. And to think there are people being arrested and threatened with years in prison for simply asking for a fairer society.

To be fair, when I was younger, me and my mates did some insane s***. Not in shopping malls, but out in the fields or park away from view. I remember we had a competition to see who had the balls to jump from the greatest height. Looking back we could have broken our legs.
As dumb as some of the stuff we did, I wouldn’t change my childhood for the ones most kids have now. No way. The outdoor kid generation from the 80s and 90s was a brilliant experience.

They are being oppressed in China you know.
Yea, they're all bad, right?
They're not so much being oppressed as they're being murdered and having their organs harvested in China. But if you need to dehumanise them, well, whatever helps you sleep at night.

Why bother to drive to Immigration when you can do it comfortably by registered mail?
2 weeks before the due time, photo copy your passport relevant pages, fill the form that you download from the web, add a stamped envelope with you return address on it, and wait. After a week or 10 days, you receive the confirmation of report by mail.
I do it always. Save a lot of fuzz.
Because I always do it online. The earliest you can do it online is 15 days before, and the latest is 7 days before you're due. I did it in-between and it didn't work. It didn't work 'cos I have a new passport.

Ah, the good old days before scammers - when people really would send you cash in parcels. That was a thing, right? That's why people believed they would get free money?
Zero sympathy for anyone who lost money. Your greed got the better of you.

“I play LGBTQI with purple hair and purple pee”, before adding “just kidding”
Is the Thai equivalent of saying how if you 'bleed' something, you epitomize it? You say you pee it?

Im just curious, but why would the Health Minister be asked to chair a committee tasked with deciding about expansion of airports??
Because in Thailand, the higher up you are, the more important-sounding job titles you can claim. You just magically know everything about everything. I recently saw a very high-up dressed as a judge - and he doesn't even have a degree.

If you want people to spend at least 10 million baht (330k US give or take), you're going to want to offer more than 5 measly stinkin' years. Why would you spend that much cash on a place that will more than likely not increase in value or will be very difficult to shift. Then you have the worry of what to do for a visa after 5 years.
Stop with the childish caveats. Make it so people are genuinely rewarded for investing. It's not as if a visa really costs anything. Foreign investors can't exactly get a job driving taxi or working in Seven - nor would they want to. There's no welfare to be claimed. No free medicare, etc.
It reminds me of my brief stint working for a Thai company. When negotiating holiday allowance, they agreed to it reluctantly and then tried to say that I'd have to work certain public holidays if I wanted the few extra amount of personal holidays. I explained how that would be of no benefit to me and their logic made no sense.

90-day reports for Bangkok done at Muang Thong Thani. You can make an appointment. I think it's Counter A, up one floor up. When I went a few weeks ago it was a 90 second task.
Many, many, many people are reporting issues with getting past the first page of the web or mobile app.
No one is certain what the underlying issue(s) may be.
Some report being able to file online with a new passport. I officially transferred stamps to a new passport, still couldn't file online. Left the country and returned (Feb. 2020), still couldn't file online. Filed in person, and the next time I couldn't file online. I was able to file online reports, maybe nine-ish, previously ("old" passport). I'm not comfortable using the old passport hack.
There has been some second-hand unverified acknowledgement from Immigration (on a FB group) that there is some "issue" preventing many people from filing online.
Okay, cheers.
Yea, had to go to Muang Thong. Was fairly painless. The whole process only took about 45 mins. Lady said next time I can do it online. Hopefully so.

Flew to Phuket once and completely forgot my passport. They accepted my UK driver’s license no questions asked.

I can’t seem to do my 90 report online (I guess cos I have a new passport). Does anyone know if it can be done at Changwattana or does it have to be done at the centre in Muang Thong Thani?
Cheers in advance.

No, this was a barefaced lie that was spread around CCP state sponsored media to the German doctor's horror. And now you are perpetuating this lie. Pathetic.

And if someone was to pay for their lottery ticket, or say, pay more than other people, would that increase their chances of winning?

If you think China started their expansionist policies and only engaged in vast and undisputed human rights abuses etc etc ONLY during the past 4 years of Trump then you have not been paying attention or you just want to take another swipe at Trump. China played Obama like a fiddle and most Presidents before him were not interested. But it was during Obamas 8 years that the South China Sea islands were built and became militarized and China started their Loan and construction policies with third world countries. I am not making a political comment. It is just reality. I would say that one thing that Trump did in a positive way was to shine the light of international malfeasance more directly on China. Like him or not (and I don't like him), his China policy was at least an attempt to expose them for what they are. Unfortunately, it appears human rights abuses, economic espionage, corporate blackmail and all of the other wonderful things China engages in does not seem to disturb the rest of the world except Australia.
Hang on a minute. Are you saying it’s possible to not like Trump and Xi?
Remember the good old days when people weren’t so politically tribal and would collectively condemn genocide? Yea, I miss those days, too.

It's really rather simple. Whoever is buying the alcohol has to show ID online and when receiving the drinks. What that person can to do with the alcohol would be no different to what a person instore could do with it after they buy theirs.
You could even have people from the relevant agencies trying to purchase alcohol illegally online. If they succeed, you can hand down big fines and announce it to the public.
I can't see any scenario where it would be easier for an underage drinker to buy it online than it would be to get it from a bricks-and-mortar Seven or Tesco, etc. In fact, I'd say it would be more difficult. Oh, well. Guess they'll just have to go to their local mom & pop shop and say it's for the old fella.

Thais far from over the moon with govt plans to launch its own space program
in Thailand News
Posted · Edited by rkidlad
Yes, sending a rocket to the moon is the single measure of whether a country is developing or not. Who cares about facts like poor education, pollution and rampant corruption. Don't need to know if said country has low industrialization or low human development - just need to know if a country has sent a rocket to the moon or not.
Again, pure face over all else.
Sort out the pollution, for Christ's sake.
