Negita43 replied to george's topic in Forum Support Desk
Let's hope it is an upgrade and without consequences for Thursday - Good Luck -
Those were the days!! I passed my test in a ford consul - 3 gear column change and in order to pass you had to go round sharp corners in 1st which had no synchromesh (double declutch) - those were the days THEN now give me an auto anyday - but it is true years ago you were taught roadcraft - not how to pass a theory test.

British Airways reignites Bangkok and Kuala Lumpur routes
Negita43 replied to webfact's topic in Thailand News
Gatwick sucks for me too (I live in Scotland) but maybe Kuala Lumpur and a connection? For the last few years I have been using Manchester BUT I still have those pesky BA vouchers (from Covid cancellations) to use!!!! -
In my bedroom I have a Mitsibushi Mr Slim recommended by an industrial aircon engineer, bought 6 years ago I set it at 26C it has a quiet fan setting and I cannot hear it in the night. Other rooms where noise is not so important have other brands Haier, Samsung the latter being the noisiest.

Retirement Visa Extension
Negita43 replied to Negita43's topic in Thai Visas, Residency, and Work Permits
Did the renewal today all forms pre-filled and pre-signed - got to the bank at 8:30 first in queue - got to Immigration 9:30 second in the queue. BUT what you can't plan for - their internet down! (Korat) eventually got out about 11:30 otherwise smooth and painless. -
Which would you prefer when you spend your money - a scowl, a look of disdain, a blank face or a smile? You always seem to be complaining Bob. Find the good things in your life an you'll be a lot happier and feel less put upon by the world

Is this the place to have a decent debate? Im lost,
Negita43 replied to ChipButty's topic in ASEAN NOW Community Pub
Unfortunately there has been (as far as I know) no research correlating IQ with ethics, morals or even common sense. The human form is a complex beast and using one test to eliminate a certain section of a population can't be called genocide but seems to be pretty close. -

Why people insult others so easily and so often?
Negita43 replied to ravip's topic in ASEAN NOW Community Pub
Since I was quoted in the initial post I feel I have to put my pennyworth in: 1. Over the years "self" has become more important than "other". 2. This has led (especially westerners) to people becoming more "thin skinned" - anything that threatens their "self image" or "values" and hence their self esteem has to be forcefully rebuffed and given the anonymity of the internet, insults and threats are an easy solution for these insecure people. Be secure in your own values and don't feel threatened if others don't share them - as the Roman Writer Terence said - Quot homines tot sententiae: suus cuique mos. So many men, so many opinions: to each his own way. Polarisation of our society will lead us nowhere except conflict. Whatever happened to debate? -

Confused And Trans Why need a vet? -
And that improves the cooking of a dough - each to their own

Personally I am not so sure about that - How much longer will 800K Baht be enough? Different Immigration Offices have different document requirements for Visa extensions. The activation of an existing tax rule occured in September 2023 and as far as I can understand applies to that year. But as I said in the original posting clarity, certainty and long termity are not, as far as I can see, part of the culture so it is just that - a (forlorn) wish and I live with it - the alternative is cold, expensive and partnerless

I do - my partner doesn't - after all she is is a traditional Thai country lady and I respect that..

Most places to live have some negatives but I have to say over the last 15 or so years the UK has developed a lot more negatives than Thailand. I only wish that Thailand would develop some clarity, certainty and long termity (yes I know it's not a word - but you know what I mean) towards the ex pat community.

Because you're not there? Reminds me of an old Oxford University Graduate Exam question which was: Is this a question? Answer given by examinee. Yes if this is an answer. Apparently got him or her a double first! So well done Lee65 you're up there with the best!!!!
