Dipped below 800k for money in bank method
Back in Jan 24 having got my extension granted in Nov 23, I put down a deposit for a new house and by mistake used the wrong account. Had done it on the app and forgot to select the normal account instead of the immigration account. I landed up dipping into the 800k by 50k! I realised the mistake an hour or so later as I had not had an SMS on the normal account to say there had been a transaction. Promptly transferred the 50k straight over to correct the error. Roll forward to my extension visit this year in Nov at Hua Hin, nothing was mentioned. All okay but the IO had stapled a slip of paper into my passport regarding the ruling for 800k. Made me chuckle! -

Thailand's Marriage Equality Bill to Become Law Next Month
Obviously, it's nice to have relevant links ready. But what if we read books years ago, saw videos from experts, etc. and don't have the quotes or links ready? In our lives we learn a lot, sometimes we revise what we learn and sometimes we verify what we know already. In this case I learns about parents how children learn and grow up over more than 30 years. Should I now try to find somewhere an article about what I know? Obviously, I could search the internet and post a link or two. But let's say I find a 30min video which seems to explain the situation. Should I watch it first to make sure I agree with all of it? And then there is obviously the question how much time I want to spend doing research for a forum like this. It's not that I have to prepare for a court case to win. So, I will continue to write about what I know, and maybe add some links or quotes, but I don't feel compelled to do that all the time. -

Thai mock anger
It took me a while after living in Thailand to notice the way Thai people, especially mothers, use mock anger instead of actually getting angry the way Western people do, and I think it is actually a psychologically very sophisticated way of dealing with emotions and unwanted behaviour. But I am sure some Westerners living in Thailand have not even noticed it. The mother raises her voice in a falsetto and pretends to hit the child, but never does so. Thereafter all that is needed is to raise the voice in that falsetto and the child knows they have overstepped the mark, and to rein in their behaviour. I have tried it on adults here in the West and it works, but only if you make it over-exaggerated and obvious that you are play acting. In fact we do it already, but in quite a different way. Does anyone have thoughts or observations on this phenomenon ? -

Actually he's wrong as usual, and no we are not automatically at fault in an accident, that's just complete nonsense. -
