5 year multiple entry DTV visa (Destination Thailand) from 2024-xx-xx
You won't get "kicked out" with valid permitted-stay a valid multi-entry visa - but, on your 180-day border-trip, you may need to pay an agent to come back w/o issue. We will not know until next year how that will work - either at the the historically honest (no agent-service needed) entry-points like Nong Khai, or the historically corrupt entry points. The ED visa is generally limited to a year of Thai-language (do some still do 2 years?), or Muay Thai, or Self-Defense (available in Chaing Mai). But, similar agent-business is involved to make the extensions trouble-free - even if you attend classes. Be sure to inquire at the school on how THEY process your 3-mo extensions for you, any added cost for this, and find another school if they don't. -

BBC Accused of Bias in Israel-Hamas Coverage: Over 1,500 Breaches of Guidelines
For most leftists anyone slightly to the right of Stalin is a conservative so thats not really a very useful poll is it. Far more useful is facts such as this one: "According to the data, Israel was mentioned as committing war crimes four times more than Hamas (127 versus 30), 14 times more as committing genocide (283 versus 19) and six times more times as violating international law (167 versus 27)" Or this one: "In practice, the report found, Hamas was described as a "proscribed," "designated" or "recognised" terrorist organization just 409 out of 12,459 times (3.2 percent) over the four-month period." Considering that Hamas is the terrorist group and Isreal is a democracy I would say this unequivocally demonstrates that the BBC is in fact biased towards leftist anti-jew agendas. If you can find an equivalent report where they have shown bias towards right wing agendas (not just an opinion from a Marxist) then please share. -

Can you defend yourself?
Thanks for taking the time to comment respectfully! Certainly one thing you and I come from different backgrounds I spent the majority of my youth behind bars because I felt it better to follow my older brother. Growing up I've felt lots of racism and discrimination as a American born Chinese American but that wasn't any excuse. As a youth I was too dumb full of cum when good people around me said you are smart spend more time on your school work because it was all there but I took the wrong path. Once that happened I became even worse double triple down because as they say a male brain isn't fully developed until you are in your late twenties. I've been growing up to 48 of the 50 States I thought prior to living here it's Thailand they are Asian I know Asians I'm one of them. But like everyone I didn't want trouble everyone has a purpose I guess coming here to look for my brother I guess that was my purpose to also marry a second time although I said after the first never again on top adopted my Thai son who I held in my arms when he was only six month old. My family members who have known me since I was a child many from Hong Kong where my father and older brother made sure I knew would always be there to help if needed when they visit tell me I use to be a pit bull now I'm a damn Chiwawa ( mis-spelled ). Not to extend this boring reply, the things that has happened to me since I came full time the racism, prejudice, even the hate living with Thais and I know when people tell me Pattaya and Bangkok isn't part of Thailand. i know that to be very true since my wife family up north rice land rich has always treated me with respect and kindness. But here in Pattaya, things that has happened to me the first ten years I wouldn't wish on a person I want to kill. As to the incident which has been the biggest one that is embedded into my head. There are many more in the past and many to come in the future as for the future I years ago reinvented myself but there isn't a day I encounter that make my blood boiled. In the beginning I like everyone learn Thai years later i stopped knowing too much was what was inciting those feelings I hear B.S. out of some Thai mouth is like an open invitation to do something, that's on me and my personality. Years ago I made plans with my brother and family I can only try but if a date ever come and I snap this is what they have to do, my family here and my little brother back home who is mentally challenge no one left except me and my brother to look after his care. These two loves is what I attribute to me not snapping yet. My biggest concern is taking verbal bravado into action which I could easily do here in Thailand. Clarification: This date as I noted is embedded into my brain April 18th, my Thai neighbor was a drunk and a deadbeat sadly there are many in my Thai village. My wife being from the farm felt we would be better off not living in a gated community what a big mistake that end up being. This evening while I went to pick up my brother and kids down the road during that time the drunk started to beat up his wife again this time she came running to our house to get protection he ended up abusing my wife my son only 10 tried to him he then got smack around. When I return realized what had happen I and my brother went next door as soon as he saw me two knives in his hand attacked me I was lucky to get minor cuts and able to get them away from him. He wanted to fight so we did it didn't last long although he was 25 years younger he got a pretty good beating. As I was walking away with my brother hearing my son call out come back something told me turn around I did and just remember the guy had this large butcher knife swung it at my head all I remember was getting up bleeding badly my brother told me I bent backwards to avoid the swing which caused me to fall and break my nose and hit my head. Once I realized the blood it set me off I grab a metal pipe raised it over my head and told him in Thai bring it on. In that split second prior to him charging I knew I was going to kill this man by splitting his head over when he charged in a dazed I miss and slam down the pipe on his shoulder dislocated his entire right side of his body he slum down when he did I slam down the pipe on both of his legs i was so jacked with anger I raised the pipe 3rd strike I was going end his life by cracking his skull open. My brother realizing my intention grabbed my arm. From what I was told the cops were called but never showed up, they took him to Banglamung in a pickup truck I went to BPH, where the doctor said another CM, the swing from the butcher knife miss a major view which if cut i would have died bleeding out. My brother thereafter called family in H.K. they in turn called Lawyers in Bangkok my wife and son was sent back to her farm with protection until the matter was settle. I never saw the guy or the wife again although my wife did speak to her. I don't go around bragging as to what has happened to me here I don't use any of my resources to use against any Thai, I deal with it by venting in my own manner you say bravado if that is what it is as long as i don't act on it I've had a successful day. I wake up and go to sleep each night knowing one day at a time. Do I hate Thai people NO, bravado in general no different than many others here, more than anything I hate this government leaders who short change the people to brainwash them to make them followers instead of leaders. My adopted son I've never put a hand on him in my heart tough for Thais to understand I don't need him to be my blood for me to love him. I've done a lot of bad things in my life but I also know I've done a lot of good raising him is one of them putting my life on the line to get him out of a Thai mafia group was one of them. I once said to him from my experience I have something to teach you money can't buy and that is how to be the best person you can be without going through what I've been through. Has it been easy hell no raising a child is one of the hardest thing in life even more so in Thailand, there is no real future for the people they don't complain because they know nothing else to compare so i don't hate them saying that doesn't mean I don't vent! Since that day whenever Songkran came around it was standard we go back to her farm knowing the memories I had that night April 18th, years ago my son and future daughter inlaw brought news to me that she was expecting. The thought in my mind was have a abortion but the call wasn't mines, I just smiled and said congratulation, expected time just happened to be in April, as it got closer my son came to me and said we are going to have a C-section the exact date is going to be April 18th, at 11am that day my son and I look into the glass and there she was smiling at us. That pretty much wipe out the bad memory I had of that day today my granddaughter is 6 years old hopefully I'm around long enough to see many more April 18th. Thank you for your time! -

Do You Believe: Next year, and the next, will be HOTTER than 2024?
The Larsen Ice shelf's most dramatic collapse happened in 2002. The Brunt Ice shelf breakup is happening now. That's in Antarctica. In the Arctic, Greenland has been shedding 270 billion metric tons per year since 2002. These are not predictions, they are fact. https://science.nasa.gov/resource/video-greenland-ice-mass-loss-2002-2023/ -

calling the uk international pension centre.
Hi, Ive seen a lot of posts saying how difficult it can be to get through to the UK call centre. but fortunately that was not the case for me. Calling from Thailand i used True move , put their 006 code in front of the number pressed option 1 to claim, and within 5 seconds i was talking to a very polite bloke. Few security questions, past addresses, employment etc and then on to the claim. 15 mins later all done. Phone call cost 2 quid. Ihad all the forms ready to post so glad i gave the phone a try. Hope its as easy for you when you put in a claim. -

Exactly, like the prediction that we'd be in an ice age by now, as promulgated in the 70s. -

What was your job (profession) when you moved to Thailand
Regretably "no". I left the Met in 1990 to join a Provincial Constabulary, however I may have encountered Mr. Sutton as a junior officer (with respect). Levi Bellfield was apprehended in 2004. Delroy Grant's reign of terror commenced in 1992 until he was found guilty in 2011- 1

What was your job (profession) when you moved to Thailand
The only reason I lasted 13 years at NWA. That and the flight bennies. They didn't really care who worked your shift, as long as there was a body there. So you find a 'trade partner', who bids one shift, and you bid a different shift. So you work 2 of his, the same day you work to of yours. Two 16 hour days. I use to just give my single shift day away most of the time, unless it was a holiday at 2.5X the rate.- 1
