British Influencer's Buddha Tattoo Sparks Thai Cultural Debate - video
I love this community, and there are a lot of great people here, but why are some of y’all so angry? Is it old age creeping in? Do you feel the box coming or what? Y’all are talking about her like she’s a damn criminal just for having a Buddha tattoo. Like, WTF is wrong with you? And honestly, she handled it perfectly in her response. Some of you are just so bitter for no reason—always finding something to complain or bitch about. Is this what happens with age? Do we all just get bitter as we get older? I’m 37, and some of y’all are scaring me. Damn, I do not want to end up like that. What a miserable, ugly way to go through life. -

Report - First Retirement Extension - my experience at Changwattana 7 Building B (IMM1)
First of all thanks to @DrJack54 and others for all the very helpful info. Some friends also shared their tips. Here is what I encountered. Pre booked an online mid afternoon appointment. Booked a month in advance as they fill up quickly. I had nested the overeas transfer in my Thai account for 3.5 months by this time and was seen 57 days after my O Visa was given. Followed Jack's advice - arrived just before noon (when they take their break) Did all the photocopying there - 2 of everything - note you need to hunt for photocopying found two places side by side on 'level 1' - Note there is no 'basement' (Imm is on level 2 at far end of the giant complex). Level 1 is mostly banks (no SCB) and fast food joints/cantenes and it's busy as all the Imm staff and other workers are on lunch break - no queue for the copying and it's cheap. When the Imm re-opened after lunch at 1 pm (like Jack said before), I pointed to the actual appointment I had (not just a queue number) and the Officer let me slip in ahead of the crowd with on-the-day-numbers Even though I was mid-afternoon appointment, I arrived early and the kindly IO officer woman went through my docs ahead of time while I waited outside the cubicle. She made me fill out a few extras that I didn't have (it was no problem for her) My Docs (all checked and accepted): TM7 Passport with photocopies of bio page and every page with stamps (I added a blank page after them for good measure) sign all copy pages Bank letter and Bank Statement obtained 2 days previously Thai bank receipt of wire transfer in (e.g. the 800,000 THB transfer from foreign funds) Originating foreign bank wire transfer receipt Goodle map (Sat view) of accommodation Hand drawn map of same TM30 photo of me standing outside my residence with number and condo name displayed Rental agreement (current) Owner's family book pages Owner's ID photocopy Original Passport Original bankbook with all pages copied (1 year) and updated same day at bank (with a photocopy at bank of last page and a stamp) A recent photo of me THB 1,900 I think that's it - took about 20 minutes Re-Entry visa and Certificate of Residence After the above, I also took a queue number for both re-entrey stamp and CoR at same time and lucked out one after the other Re-entry needed a form and a photo (multi 3,800) got it CoR got that too. Need to update using the PP photocopies and that day's Extension stamp copy. Otherwise, you need to wait until your first 90 day report to apply for the CoR - maybe they made an exception for me not sure.. Surprised it has to be mailed to me and is only valid for 30 days. I said it was for driving license I think that's pretty much the (exhausting) day - be ready for all of humanity to be there with you. However, it's quite efficient despite the crowds. R. -

Money transfer for buying condo
Might be best to use a bank transfer and foreign currency – i.e. your home country's currency – and do the exchange in Thailand. If you transfer a larger sum, make sure that you get a reciept from the Bank of Thailand declaration, you so can take the same amout of money out of Thailand, if you sell your condo. Be aware of income tax of foreign transfer, if you stay in Thailand for than 180 days during the calendar year when you do the transfer. You need to be able to prove that the funds is savings from before 2024, to avoid income tax. -

Why so many chinese cars MG cars ? do people only care to buy something cheap, whatever is the quality ?
Sounds like what they were saying about Japanese cars in the seventies. By the time they woke up everyone was driving Toyotas and Hondas. Same is happening now with Chinese cars now. -
