Switching from marriage visa to visa exempt t
Yes - two reported here recently. One was refused and returned from a Bangkok airport to where he started. He then flew to CM and got in OK (no "agent entry" program there to incentivize denied-entries): Another was almost refused, but managed to get his GF to talk to the IO, who then grudgingly let him in. If she hadn't been available to talk right then, he would have been gone: if you use known safe entry points - no problem. Otherwise, be sure to pay whatever agent-service the entry point is using. One here for Bangkok airports: ... so just add that figure to your budget, if you need to fly in to Bangkok. May be easier to just deal with annual extensions. -

Restore lost Yellow Book
Did they make you go to Tourist Police and put your fingerprints on a record? Or they just scammed me?) No I wasn't put last because of nationality, just because I didn't understand the system. And btw 3 more thais were in line after me. 1st time I've had to wait after fingerprints maybe 1-2 months. But at Amphoe everything was rather fast. -

The debate thread.
I believe the debates are only held through news organizations, so that's a no. -

US House Foreign Affairs Committee Report on the Afghanistan Withdrawal
The House Republicans have their unfailingly partisan political opinion for what transpired. The U.S. government's Special Inspector General for Afghan Reconstruction had a different opinion: Inspector General Blames Trump’s Taliban Deal for Afghan Collapse Although the report criticized the Trump administration’s deal with the Taliban, it also highlighted severe structural deficiencies in the Afghan security forces. May 19, 2022 "The Special Inspector General for Afghan Reconstruction (SIGAR), the task force assigned to review U.S. spending in Afghanistan, said in its quarterly report that it believes the abrupt collapse of the U.S.-backed Afghan government was in large part due to the deal the Trump administration made with the Taliban in February 2020. [emphasis added] The report, which was released on Wednesday, argued that the deal had been the “single most important near-term factor” explaining the Afghan security forces’ disintegration during the Taliban’s offensive in the summer of 2021. It described the impending departure of U.S. forces as a “catalyst” that intensified Afghan forces’ existing problems, including persistent low morale and a perception that the government’s defeat was inevitable. Gen. Sami Sadat, a former Afghan National Army (ANA) general interviewed by SIGAR investigators, claimed that the signing of the deal—in which American negotiators promised that U.S. troops would withdraw from the country by May 2021—had an outsized “psychological impact” on “the average Afghan soldier,” motivating them to enter “survival mode and bec[ome] susceptible to accepting other officers and deals.” (more) https://nationalinterest.org/blog/buzz/inspector-general-blames-trump’s-taliban-deal-afghan-collapse-202534 -

Best bank account for 800k which can be accessed even from Overseas
Will extension count? I can extend DTV and it will give me 11.5 months. Will it fool them?) Hmm nobody asked me for pink ID, it is mentioned in the YB so why not? They did ask for the DL. Well if it won't work then I'll go to another branch with pink ID too. -

Restore lost Yellow Book
Glad it worked out, eventually. And, yes, that special queuing was the case at my original "first time for yellow book" Amphoe (rural) also. I was only seen after every Thai was served - even though was with my Thai wife, Poo Yai Baan, and 2 witnesses who had to wait all that time to sign-off on me. It took literally all day - open to close (I was seen last) - then had to wait ~6 months before they let me have the yellow-book - "waiting for signature of big guy." No agent-service was available there, alas - would have likely been less expensive than what I paid to waste 3 Thai's day. -

Revisiting History: The Unlikely Campaign to Vilify Winston Churchill
I doubt that whoever wrote this blurb actually watched the entire episode in question - or this is a willful distortion of what Cooper actually tried to convey. In the end, the subtle message that is pushed here is that any discussion about history is worse than blasphemy, and has to be shouted down to make sure we commoners all understand history as written by the victor is the truth, the whole truth and nothing but the truth....... a totally laughable argument. The reader - or listener - should be wary when a subject is beyond debate, any 'fact' that must not be debated or revisited (revised?) is most likely false or fake. In my defense - or offense to some - I have watched the entire 2:19 minutes. There is nothing in there to be scared of, and while this is the first time I heard of Cooper and listen to him, I found his strength is in his ability be open to what scares most less read people. I do understand why Carlson will never have a big following on here - he had the audacity to say out loud what we all know....... English food sucks! -

So that explains this You need a 1 year visa to get an account these days, and they may have assumed that because you had a yellow book, you had a 1 year visa as well. All banks I have opened accounts in the past 6 months required, passport with1 year visa/extension - yellow book - pink card - and driver license -
