God bless the USA....The greatest country in the World!

39% are aged 36-60 and 21% 25-35 years old. What about the other 40%?

????????????????????

Same with all public services in the UK. Staff numbers cut back to the bone by 12 years+ of Conservative party austerity. They have destroyed the UK! Yet the UK turkeys continue to vote for Christmas!

Yes, Look where our Western scientific education has led us in this ****ed up World, and where our so-called 'progress' is taking us; like lemmings off a cliff towards annihilation! Maybe rational and intelligent thought is not the way. Maybe the Thais have got it right. but there's no need for the ladies to shout about it...555.

....I think you mean borrowed not lent.

Take note all car thieves out there! Or corrupt cops! You know whose cars to steal/search...555.

Good luck to all the other bungee jumpers in the Kingdom. Going to need it.

Saw a documentary on the rice stubble burning problem in India. Some conscientious and more wealthy farmers were buying mini ride-on tractors which plowed the stubble into the earth thereby enriching it much more than burning. These machines which are too expensive for most farmers but could/should be bought by the Thai (and Indian) government and supplied to every village/district for collective use. The existing village health staff and volunteers who did so well fighting Covid could be employed to organise and oversee this with police back-up to enforce it.

Full of non-Thai working girls?

There will soon be girls offering soapy massages in it...555

Cos they all want to visit their daughters.

All sunset and later views ruined by light pollution!

Not much room left in the container......????.

Im not so sure that they are really feeling much deep down inside.. I think that emotions, like rational thought have evolved less and differently in Thailand than in the West. Culturally and religiously they have no concept of Christian/universal love; only instinctive family love and Buddhist compassion which I would argue is different. In fact Buddhist non-attachment/Detachment exemplified by the Buddha himself abandoning his wife, child and family to seek his own salvation, is quite the opposite of love. More importantly Thais have not (yet) been bombarded by slushy romantic music, movies, stories, and advertising as we have been since the day we were born in the West. Who is to say what is right or preferable.

With all this talk of Immigration offices, does anyone know if there is any Thai dept. or phone number that you can report any corruption or misapplication of the rules. I just left my IO who are insisting that 800k must be in the bank 3 months before Non O Retirement renewal not 2. This despite my showing them the rules and link printed out in Thai and English from the Thai Government website clearly stating that it is 2 months. The supervisor said that this only applies to the 1st year. I said that it does not say this anywhere on the website. She then came back with a sheet of the rules which apply to the initial application for a Non- O visa for retirement repeating that it is only the 1st year. She then walked away and disappeared before I could point this out!

.......k i n g farang tourists...555. What time did u arrive?

Good to hear that u can get the bank stuff done the day before going to immigration. I was under the impression that it had to be the same day. How about about a bank book withdrawal or deposit to show the application day balance is over 800k thb?

....But not game over for comb over...555.

The photo shows Departures not Arrivals.

OMG!

Not to mention the lousy air quality in much of Thailand at the moment.

As a (relevant) aside, how far in advance can a Retirement Extension be applied for please?

If leaving Thailand after 90 days, on a 1 year non imm. mult. entry O visa, including spending time in Vientiane, and re-entering, is this 'Thailand Pass' and insurance required? If so, What is and how is the Thailand pass obtained please?

Right....GF's son just left Amazon (Coffee shops) after 1st month's salary. They wanted him to work 9 hrs not 8 so when he originally queried it they said he would get 1 hr overtime. But no overtime was paid so he left. Anyone know if there is a Govt. number to call to report such exploitation?
