Forced to book a hotel on the spot
josephbloggs replied to Saigon's topic in Thai Visas, Residency, and Work Permits
This whole female vs male IO thing is nonsense in my opinion. Been living here for 30 years, never noticed any difference - they are just doing their jobs. Had non B extensions based on employment for 29 years, quit my job last year and am now on non-O extension based on marriage. Came in yesterday after a trip to the UK. Male IO, spoke very good English. - (Noticing my passport is full of various Thai stamps, re-entry permits etc) "You have a visa?" - Yes. (He flicks through and finds it) - "Ah, you have a Thai wife". - Yes. - "What do you do here?" - Nothing, I just stay with my wife and kids, relaxing. - "Are you working?" - No. - "Do you speak Thai?" - (In Thai), yes, I can, I have been living here a long time. - "Where is your wife?" - She's not with me, she's at home. - "Ah, ok." - "Where do you live?" - (Gave my address in Thai) - "Ok, thank you, don't forget your visa expires July 21st". Stamp. All of the above was done with no hostility, with a smile, and took maybe 30-45 seconds. These guys are just doing their jobs and some basic questions are to be expected, they happen in every country. I do get tired of these whiny threads about IO people just doing their jobs. -
Credit to Donald Trump, LGBT’ is over. Someone Tell the BBC
josephbloggs replied to Social Media's topic in World News
And you slander people on this forum and accuse them of wanting girls to be compelled to shower with men? You should be reported and removed for such comments - it is beyond ridiculous. If you can't discuss politics without accusing people of being paedophiles then you should not be allowed to engage in discourse of any sort. Did Chomper say he thinks girls should be compelled to shower with men? Can you link to the post please? If you can't then you should apologise as it is a horrendous thing to accuse someone of. -

You want to slander every left leaning person like that and be taken seriously?? -
It was an non urgent situation so burning fuel is preferable. If an airplane needs to get on the ground quickly they will dump fuel.

Trump Revives Plan to Build $100 Million White House Ballroom
josephbloggs replied to Social Media's topic in World News
Ehh? You replied to a post that said that nothing that Trump does is a "good thing". You replied saying ending the war in Ukraine must therefore be a bad thing implying Trump has stopped the war there. Has he stopped it? What are his plans for Ukraine exactly? -

josephbloggs replied to dinsdale's topic in Political Soapbox
We see it on this forum - the cult can not see, they really believe in their leader; no matter how ridiculous his claims are they will swallow and believe. Amen. -

Interesting. I also work in that industry and spent many many years in that area but left maybe eight years ago to set up a new company which I built on Sukhumvit. I was so happy to leave that area as - like you say - there's no public transport and the traffic on the only road in and out from Sukhumvit (Ekkamai-Ramintra) is horrendous at rush hours. I worked around there from 1998 to 2017. I was back there for a meeting a few months ago and found it quite run down in T-i-T itself. Still some decent bars and restaurants around the area though but I wouldn't ever consider living there. Personal opinion only.

Elon Musk Nominated for Nobel Peace Prize by European Politician
josephbloggs replied to Social Media's topic in World News
Hilarious that you can accuse someone making a wild claim when you just made the wildest and most ridiculous of all wild claims: " Musk literally spent billions to change Twitter from a left-wing propaganda hell-hole into a platform for freedom and openness. He didn't have to do that and it's had an unmeasurably positive impact on the world." -

You are a funny man, well done. -
Pupen in Jomtien is very good. Not posh, just regular, but nice spot and the seafood is fantastic. Was there a few weeks ago on a Saturday and there was an electronic queueing system in place as it does get very busy. Not sure if they take advance bookings but maybe call them. But it's not fine dining - it is regular Thai style. https://www.tourismthailand.org/Restaurant/pupen-seafood-pattaya

You can buy them in any expressway office. They are usually located just near the booths at the side of the road. I think you need ID and your car registration book and you will get given a RFID card that sits on your windscreen. Topping up can be done through your bank app if you have a local bank account. Did you mean M-Flow? M-Flow is currently only on route 9 and is a different thing to Easy Pass. You can use Easy Pass on route 9 though. But if want to also get M-Flow you register for it online - there is no physical card. https://mflowthai.com/mflow I have both Easy Pass and M-Flow but to honest M-Flow is so limited at the moment there's probably no point (only four toll points on route 9 have it I believe).
