Well done for being the 27th person in this thread to make a similar Toblerone "joke".

Thank you, I will check on this. And yes, it's not a visa, it's an extension of stay, my fingers just automatically type "visa" and my brain sometimes forgets to override them.

Ths is great information, thank you. So I can leave, get a 90 day non O with no proof of funds, re-enter, and when my money is seasoned for two months I can apply for the one year extension of stay at CW. This sounds ideal. Is Savannahket the only option for this or is it the same at any consulate/embassy? It would be preferable to go somewhere easier to get to that I can fly directly, but if it is only Savannahket then so be it. Thanks again.

Yes thanks, that's all in hand. I will go with my emplyer to cancel visa and work permit (it's a digital WP so nothing to hand back) on 9th April then I will get a 21 day extension to leave the country.

Thanks. If I leave on 30th April, come back with 30 days, then get a 30 day extension, I should be able to apply when I have 15 days left on my extension as my money will have just about have been seasoned for the necessary time by then.......but it will be close.

Thank you. I will read through that thread and yes, UbonJoe is sorely missed - a truly wonderful, knowledgable and helpful man. RIP.

Whislt you come across as a bit pompous / officious for posting something like that it's actually true. And the Swiss guy has shown he is not afraid to abuse the defamation law and computer crimes act as he pressed charges on the ambulance drive under both of them after he posted the video of him.

What a coincidence! I just came back from Villa where I bought stuff to cook for dinner. At one point an old lady was browsing cereal and had left her trolley in the aisle. I immediately clenched my fists and was about to pummel the Hell out of her and smash her stupid face in to the floor, but weirdly - I don't know what came over me - but I smiled and said "excuse me", and she immediately apologised, smiled, and moved her trolley. She doesn't know how close she came to a violent end, lucky lady.

So they should all have their own bikes and drive them to Phuket when they want to go on holiday?

Oh, that's not good.

In all seriousness the boat looks great, and sailing from Bangkok will be a winner. I recently drove from Bangkok to Samui and it was eight hours there, nine hours back, plus 90 minutes for the ferry and a bit of waiting around time. 23 hours is a long time, but I know it is a long way, so it is what it is. Personally I feel it's just too expensive. I can drive there for about 2,000 baht in petrol plus 550 for the ferry. And I can take four adults in comfort. 2,500 baht for a car, plus 3,500 for the most basic seat is 6,000 minimum one way for one person and you have nowhere to sleep. I know it's an "experience" and it looks great but for me it's not worth it at that price, I would just drive. I wish them luck as they have had a huge run of misfortune over the last couple of years, it looks very professional and well designed and the route makes sense, but for me they've priced themselves too high. I hope I am proved wrong.

What happened in the hot and spicy yummy food eating challenge episode 329?

Sorry if this affects the chip on your shoulder, but "alien" isn't a uniquely Thai term, it is standard. The UK has an "Aliens Act" about immigration, and most countries refer to non nationals as "aliens".

Yes, I agree. They will want to get justice for her after she had her face smashed in the floor, her nose broken, and sufferent many other injuries after being brutally attacked by a maniac.

She threw it after she'd been pummeled once. Did you actually read the article?

Ah, here he comes riding in on his white horse - the great defender of all farangs! Surprised it took you eight pages to get here, did Dobbin have a problem?

Even if she had pushed in, is that a green light for him to beat the <deleted> out of her, break her nose, and smash her face in to the floor? He is scum and so is anyone who tries to defend his attack on an old woman.

In this case please explain how he isn't. He attacked her (dozens of witnesses). She is old, she has a broken nose and facial injuries, there are pictures of her with severe injuries and blood everywhere. He doesn't have a scratch on him. So please tell me why we shouldn't think he is guilty. I am truly almost done with this forum. So many disgusting, Thai hating, misogynistic losers, and they are allowed to post freely.

Wow, Ross Johnson, you've just hit new low for AN (which takes some doing). There are photos of her with a broken nose, blood everywhere, facial injuries. There are witnesses, lots of them. And there is a photo of him, sat in the police station, not a scratch on him. So tell us, how you YOU think it went down? I honestly can't believe there are people who hate Thais and/or women so much that they can say something like you just did. Sick sick sick. By the way, I'll take you up on your offer - how much are you willing to bet? Put your money where your disgusting misogynistic or racist mouth is. Why automatically side with him otherwise?

You haven't seen the pictures then.

Pathetic, absolutely pathetic. There were dozens of witnesses. Have you seen the pictures? He clearly beat her up quite badly. What's your take on it then? She randomly attacked the innocent farang then maybe fell and broke her nose and cut her face up?

You'll notice from my posts that I think he is odious scum and deserves what's coming to him, but to be fair it seems the elephants are well cared for (maybe that's why he married one?). Look at TripAdvisor and Google reviews and they are unanimously positive and comment on how well cared for, healthy and happy the animals are.

So people are not allowed to go out alone? It doesn't say if she was going home or going out - could have been coming home from work, could have been going out to work, you don't know, I don't know. She could have been coming home from a party, is that not allowed? 20 year old girls can't go out with friends? Yeah, she faked it, asked the motorbike driver to get drunk and expose himself. You are a sad, grumpy old man and I detect more than a hint of misogyny.

Old news from less than 24 hours ago?? Let me guess, another AN poster who doesn't read anything but has to post based on headlines....got to get your count up at all costs!!

Wow, what is wrong with people??
