  1. Every time I hear that the government is gonna develop an APP for anything, I get this icy sensation along my spine.....
  2. Please tell me Bob. Why did you merry if you wanted to <deleted> around. Wouldn't it be much easier and less complex being single?
  3. Shorts, T-shirt and flip-flops are only for the beach. And even then, I wouldn't be caught dead in that attire after dark. There are loose cotton trousers available, and that's what I wear outside the house, short socks and trainers. Loose t-shirt or cotton shirt. Never owned sandals and never will. There are even jeans ( like Mc brand or Levi's) that are loose fitting and cool in this climate. However, Gen Z think that jeans have to be this stretchy stuff that clings to your legs. Thais don't pay attention to their footgear, thinking that feet are the lowest part of the body (literally), so yes, I have seen men in business attire with lime Crocks
  4. So you must be Burmese, right? Or you just bait posting from somewhere else.... Where do you get this stuff from (I did white <deleted>, but they censored it, this forum is rated PG9)? Perhaps you should stop smoking what you smoke.... not good to you.
  5. Very comprehensive, and very accurate. I admit that I did compress and simplify the historical events somewhat, just for brevity.
  6. I think you should revisit your history. Israel did not exist before 1948. Biblical and archeological evidence indicate that the Jews conquered and began to settle the land of Canaan (as this area was known then) during the thirteenth century BCE. It took them several decades to establish some degree of dominance over what they then called Eretz Yisrael. The land that was promised to them by their God, they claim. In fact the roots to the current conflict started as recent as the time of WW1. Before then, Arabs and Jews were living together in a relatively peaceful coexistence for several hundreds of years. At the beginning of the WW1 there was even talks between Arabs and Jews to establish a coalition to protect the country (known as Palestine by that time) from the impact of the coming war. And then, after the end of WW2, it was the geopolitical greed of the colonial powers to meddle and create the mess we are in now. It was the Allied powers that just couldn't keep their sticky fingers from telling everyone how the Middle East should be divided to suit their political interests. If someone invades your house, tells you that you can live in the garage and <deleted> in a bucket, you'll eventually get fed up and rise... And here we are...
  7. They made their choice. There are many more safe places. If you chose a well known troubled spot, don't come back and cry to mamma. Expat low educated labor is cheap and expendable. Learned that in Saudi Arabia.
  8. You're underestimating the GenX. They grew up glued to their telephone touch screen. And they will decide what the consumers want now. I suggest you stick to no electronics ICE. Nissan Bluebird from 1970's would fit you nicely.
  9. What I'm trying to convey here, is that some posters call all Palestinians terrorists, but will justify all terrorist actions by IDF.
  10. Didn't know international law allowed killing of children. Like these incidents: https://www.nbcnews.com/news/world/israeli-army-kills-teen-girl-west-bank-raid-palestinians-say-rcna61299 And here: https://www.france24.com/en/middle-east/20230303-israeli-forces-kill-teenager-in-west-bank-says-palestinian-ministry There are many, many more. There is even video of a teenage girl being taken to school by her father, targeted and killed by Israeli checkpoint soldiers.... But some will say they only defend themselves. From 14 year old girls.... huh!
  11. What does that make Israelis then? They have been targeting civilians, including children and news reporters for years.
  12. Stated clearly in my post. Prachuap Khiri Khan, Dan Singkhon office. Apart from the passport, no additional paperwork needed.
  13. So you say that you have to fill in that TM47 form. It takes 2 minutes from the time I walk in. There are only 2 IO in that particular office sometimes only one. We chat for 10-20 seconds too. And sometimes they have a stack of 30 Myanmar passports to process. They just slot me in. It takes 1 minute to print out, sign, and staple. CM huh? Wasn't that the place you had to que up at 3am just to get the appointment number? It might happen again... Never been, never seen, and don't care much about anything north. To cold and to far from the beach for my taste.
  14. For the past 8 years, I have just submitted my passport, told the IO "90 day" and walked away 2 minutes later with the new stamp. This is in PKK Dan Singkhon. They never needed a form. They do know how to use the computer.
  15. Is WU the same as WD? In this case I can say that I junked all my WD drives, both NAS and PC, years ago. Same goes for Hitachi, used to be excellent HDD until WD bought up the company. Seagate are the only drives I use now.
  16. What is an MBP? Never heard it....
  17. There are plenty. Just look here: https://www.invadeit.co.th/category/enclosure-box/2-5-enclosure/
  18. I would be very suspicious of a 2TB SSD drive for 600 baht. Such items are just not possible. Probably just a quarter capacity Chinese scam drive with tweaked firmware.
  19. How do the Tax Resident rules work? If I, say after 170 days in Thailand leave abroad and come back a month later, am I no longer tax resident?
  20. For backups, I too prefer HDD's. Like this one. https://www.invadeit.co.th/product/portable-hard-drives/seagate/2tb-backup-plus-ultra-touch-portable-drive-black-sthh2000400-p059049/
  21. The latest and greatest from Samsung. Other capacities and colors also available. https://www.invadeit.co.th/product/portable-hard-drives/samsung/portable-ssd-t7-usb-3-2-1tb-titan-gray-mu-pc1t0t-ww-p052249/
  22. This is coming in more and more countries. The next step will be cashless economy, and then everybody, but mostly expats will be royally F.C.U.K ed.
  23. I am using Hua Hin Immigration office.
  24. You do no argue with the Immigration Police.... Can be detrimental to your health, or future extensions. It was the same last time I renewed my passport and had to transfer visas. 500 baht, no receipt.
