I'm not arguing against Know Your Customer. I'm arguing against it not mattering if they know us or not. We're all treated like criminals whether they know our transaction history or not.Fri, 05 Jun 2026 02:37:28 +0000He was desperate!Fri, 05 Jun 2026 02:36:18 +0000Xy, it is not your obligation that this guy survives there. I realize you are a good soul but over the next coffee you discuss, income sir to be able to stay here (?), alternatives, embassy will fly you back to Germany... 2012 or so one of our good friends, German, gets liver disease has to go to gov hospital Hat Yai. We all put up 5-10,000thb to help out. 10 of us I think, on terms he'll pay us all back. Gets good, cured. Later, I tell him no good, 5,000thb bro, you're my friend I'm good there. But then tells everyone else I've forgiven the debt, and I'm catching hell from the guys that put in 10,000 !!!! Borrower no lender be, glad my long term friend lived.Fri, 05 Jun 2026 02:35:58 +0000Enjoy while ye may. And, please do not spend all your QUESTION-MARKS in one place, or in one go. As for me, I intend to collect mine. As to why I marked your comment UNCLEAR, in words, I will explain the grammar to you, in due course. Meanwhile, I am very sure others here will be able to do so, if they think to do so, before I get back to you.Fri, 05 Jun 2026 02:35:42 +0000Is it ever acceptable to give money to a romantic partner, given the extreme income balance over here? I have helped out with some medical stuff that she has long put off. I have tossed some cash on top of her temple donations. I don’t want to pay her bills, but this just seems reasonable. Thoughts?Fri, 05 Jun 2026 02:35:27 +0000He needs a talent agent the moment he regains consciousness. Strike while the iron is hot. He could reinvent himself into some kind of a guru or Rasputin type character. Get him on every news and religious channel out there. Maybe there's an Israeli running a PR company: they and their Hollywood brethren are the best on the planet.Fri, 05 Jun 2026 02:34:59 +0000You are asking for info of intrusive operations, are they really necessary?! I have lived with BPH for a number of years and use medication which works for me. It may not work for you, but have you seen a urologist? I get the impression from the info you have given, much of your knowledge has been gained from reading about the subject? Front Row has offered plain and useful info. Well worth taking notice of.Fri, 05 Jun 2026 02:33:54 +0000You must watch CNN and MSDNC (or is it MSNOW, they even had to change the name to get past the stink)Fri, 05 Jun 2026 02:33:47 +0000When I say take your time I’m presuming that you haven’t been diagnosed with prostate cancer.Fri, 05 Jun 2026 02:33:26 +0000How would this be even possible if such "someone" can neither read nor write in English?Fri, 05 Jun 2026 02:32:53 +0000A few years ago, but when I re-entered Thailand (Bangkok) from the U.K. with my new (and old U.K. passport) , 6 months remaining on my retirement extension and a re-entry permit the Immigration officer called over a senior immigration officer and I was stamped in for 7 days. I showed them my permission to stay was valid for 6 months and my re-entry permit but they said 7 days and to go to my local immigration office to sort it out. Think I was just unlucky but by giving me only 7 days it forced me to get the stamps transferred to my new passport quickly.Fri, 05 Jun 2026 02:32:53 +0000Here we go !!! MAGA losing out come the cheating accusations is this the new standard in America elections, looking forward to the midterms see what you yanks come up with next !!Fri, 05 Jun 2026 02:32:31 +0000Even using an agent it's difficult to open a Bank Account without having your Non-IMM O already so I would recommend... 1. Get the Non-IMM O in the UK before you arrive (I believe you need to show the past 3 months bank statements). 2. Once you get to Thailand immediately open a Bank Account (you still might need to use an Agent to help with this as a lot of Bank's want to see a 12 month lease nowadays) - If you plan on living in Hua Hin then it will be easier for you going forward to open a Bank Account there as somethings can only be done in the Branch where you opened your account. 3. Once the Bank accounts are opened, seed the 800K or use the Income Method or go down the "Agent Assisted Finance" route depending on your preference (I maintain the 800K but still use an Agent for convenience - Up to me). If you do decide to use an Agent to do everything for you then you'll have more options in the Pattaya area than Hua Hin or use somebody like TVC who may be able to assist you remotely, as I said my recommendation would be to at least do the Non-IMM O yourself before getting here.Fri, 05 Jun 2026 02:32:23 +0000Apply for a one-year, multiple-entry retirement visa at the Thai embassy in the UK. This will give you ample time in Thailand to handle everything yourself, stress-free. All problems related to money, time, stress, etc., will be resolved for the next year. But you have todo the 90-days report in Thailand.Fri, 05 Jun 2026 02:31:54 +0000The only documented case of that was in nc where a Republican was prefilling vote forms gor seniors.

The Border Consortium (TBC), which has assisted camps for more than three decades, says refugee‑led committees are now covering essential services once funded by donors. With international support slashed since 2025, fewer than 16 per cent of the 107,000 refugees across nine camps still receive direct aid. Committees such as the Karen Refugee Committee and Karenni Refugee Committee have stepped in, employing more than 1,600 refugees to keep water pumps running, collect waste and cover hospital bills. But leaders admit they cannot sustain these costs indefinitely. Beyond basic services, committees are also navigating Thailand’s new refugee work permit scheme, coordinating with authorities and employers to help residents secure lawful jobs. Yet despite decades of managing camp affairs, they remain sidelined by international agencies, often excluded from key decisions and learning of funding cuts through the media. TBC’s report highlights this exclusion as a major flaw, accusing global organisations of tokenism and calling for refugee committees to be recognised as frontline decision‑makers. With Myanmar’s conflict showing no sign of easing, the consortium warns that direct financial support to these self‑governing bodies is the only way to prevent a collapse of camp infrastructure. As TBC’s Maximillian Mørch put it: “It is a real testament to how communities have organised themselves. The worry is what comes next.” -2026-06-05Fri, 05 Jun 2026 02:30:49 +0000Why the hell don`t folk give an answer to his initial query instead of banging on about DIY as the OP has clearly stated he does not want to do.
