I don't think being able to hold his drink is the problem. He needs medical treatment urgently as it sounds like he is very much the alcoholic,

Last year I applied to extend my Married to Thai one year visa with the appropriate mountain of paperwork and "she who must be obeyed" with me. at Samui Immigration. Everything was fine until the Officer in the right hand Office said, "you havn't deposited any money in your Bank today!" I had already deposited the mandatory 40,000 baht for that month, which was recorded both in my Bank Book and the Bank Letter, but she said that was not good enough. I was about to blow a fuse, but my lovely calm Thai Wife said, "go have a coffee and I will be back in 15 minutes". Which she was and the application was accepted by the Officer behind the desk. My view is this was an attempt for us to pay extra for the Visa, which I refuse to do. I think next time I will refer the case to Bangkok Immigration for advice?

It is both a lack of education and idleness of the parents who feel it is okay to send their children on errands on motorbikes.

I agree with you whole heartedly. There seems to be an element of people on this forum who I would describe as "well balanced".. They have a chip on both shoulders! Issue of a Visa is a privilege, not an entitlement. If you are unhappy about the County's Laws, I would suggest that you don't come here - simple!

Due to smoking cannabis my Grandson developed bi-polar mental illness, which if he does not take his prescribed medication regularly, comes back to haunt him and he gets sectioned in a hospital. There are different strengths of cannabis and sadly few people are aware of this and that contrary to what this person has written, it can have a detrimental effect on some people, which can be very long lasting. Further research needs to be done on this drug before Governments give it the blessing for consumption by everyone.

There is a District in NE India already called Nagaland and officially so. How wonderful to have so many (un)educated people!
