Pink I.D Card & Yellow Book
Inevitably, the requirement to obtain a Yellow book and ID card will vary across Amphoe offices dependent on how well versed, trained, and competent the staff are. Same Province, but a different Amphoe, a friend was first informed he required an Embassy certified copy of his passport, translated and legalised by the MFA. He travelled to Bangkok to obtain the requested documents. Arriving back at the Amphoe with said documents, he was then informed he also needed an Embassy certified copy of his Birth certificate, translated and legalised by the MFA, so a second trip to Bangkok. An original UK birth certificate does state the parents names, whereas the longer version does, so that is what he used. Arriving back at the Amphoe, they refused the translated and legalised Birth certificate as it stated 'Copy of the Registration', and insisted on the 'original'. That took some explaining, then appearing to accept the explanation, they now noted he wasn't married and insisted he had to be married. He and his long term girlfriend had marriage planned, so just brought the wedding day forward. Marriage certificate now in hand, they returned, where they were further informed he had to own property. Obviously being given the run around, exhausted and frustrated, he sought some help and advice. I took him to the Provincial Amphoe, who issued my YB and ID card within an hour of applying. The senior officer told us the guy at his Amphoe was a ****, but he couldn't overrule him. He suggested two solutions; 1. To make a formal complaint to the ombudsman who had the power to overrule him and instruct him to issue the YB and ID card, but this could take several months. 2. Add him to my YB as if he lived at the same address, then in a month inform the Provincial Amphoe of moving to a new address in a different sub-district (actually where he did live) and they would remove him from my book and issue a form for the local Amphoe to issue him a new YB. Apparently, as he was now already registered on the system, the process is different and the other Amphoe were obliged to just issue a new YB detailing his new address (which was his existing address) We chose option 2, and approx 6 weeks later he returned to his Amphoe with the form issued by the Provincial office, and his local Amphoe immediately issued a new YB at his current address with no questions asked. -

Coming to Thailand
Only 2 groups of people that seem to worry. First group are the people playing the system with excessive border runs and trying to live in country without a proper visa. They don't mind playing the system until they get caught and want to cry foul. Second group are the newbies that read the complaints of the first group on line and then aren't sure about their trip. There's no need to define tourism as it isn't rocket science. The time allowed is clearly stated in the visa you travel on or in the regs for visa exempt entry or visa on arrival. -

Majority of Americans Urge CBS to Release Full Transcript of Harris's Interview
Yes, everyone seems to have forgotten this fact, the dude is incapable of genuinely running the country, but this is being totally swept under the carpet. Blatantly obvious that the msm are just mouth pieces for the Democrats, and now some dems have the cheek to say Trump needs to show his medical records.....while covering for Biden for 3.5 years! the hypocrisy and double standards from them are off the charts. -

Amnesty Debate over Lese Majeste Law Poised to Spark Tensions in Thai Parliament
The transcription below highlights stories from across Thailand and Southeast Asia featured on Good Morning Thailand, hosted by Alex. The coverage ranges from the amnesty debate on the lese majeste law, set to ignite tensions in the Thai Parliament, to Malaysia’s stock market rebounding after years of decline. Amnesty Debate on Lese Majeste Law Set to Ignite Tensions in Thai Parliament The debate over amnesty for those charged under Thailand’s controversial lese majeste law (Section 112) will stir heated discussions in Parliament on Thursday. The committee, led by Chusak Sirinil, presents three options: full amnesty, no amnesty, or conditional amnesty for unintended violations. This first-ever amnesty proposal involving Section 112 has divided political parties, and the decision could have major political and legal ramifications. Thai Singer Tik Shiro Charged with Drunk Driving After Fatal Crash Renowned singer Tik Shiro (Sirisak Nantasane) has been charged with drunk driving following a fatal accident on October 10 that claimed the life of 28-year-old Thianporn "Meji" Siwapornpithak and injured her brother. Although there was no breathalyser test on-site, a hospital test confirmed Tik was over the legal alcohol limit. He now faces charges of reckless driving causing death and driving under the influence, with compensation negotiations underway between both parties. Reckless Driver Cuts Off Ambulance Twice in Dangerous Road Rage Incident A dangerous road rage incident endangered a patient’s life as a reckless driver cut off a private ambulance twice during a journey from Khon Kaen to Chonburi. Dash-cam footage shows the vehicle repeatedly obstructing the ambulance, forcing sudden lane changes. The incident, which occurred on October 15, is under investigation, sparking safety concerns for emergency services. Dutch Tourist Throws Objects at Thai Café Staff Over Change Dispute A 59-year-old Dutch tourist, Max, caused chaos at the Sky Blue café in Udon Thani after throwing objects at staff over a 130-baht change dispute. CCTV footage shows Max attacking employees, resulting in injuries, unaware that his friend had pocketed the change as a prank. The tourist expressed regret, and compensation talks are ongoing with the injured staff members. Pervert Caught on CCTV Stealing Flip-flops in Nonthaburi A disturbing incident in Nonthaburi was caught on CCTV, showing a man named Toon masturbating with stolen flip-flops. The footage, recorded on October 12, revealed Toon’s history of similar offences, including a 2020 arrest and a 2022 raid uncovering over 120 pairs of stolen shoes. Authorities are investigating additional thefts, while residents raise safety concerns. Pattaya Official Seeks Justice After Sea Urination Incident Sawate Permpoon, a Pattaya official, is pursuing legal action after two men tried to assault him for warning them not to urinate in the sea. The altercation occurred on October 13, after tourists reported the offenders. Although a fine was suggested, the men refused, leaving police to determine if further action would be taken. US and Philippine Forces Begin Military Drills Amid Tensions with China The U.S. and Philippine military have kicked off large-scale joint drills known as KAMANDAG from October 15 to 25, involving over 2,000 personnel. Amid rising regional tensions, especially following China’s war games near Taiwan, the exercises focus on amphibious landings, live fire, and humanitarian efforts, with allies from Australia, Britain, Japan, and South Korea also participating. North Korea Destroys Parts of Inter-Korean Links in Show of Defiance In a defiant act, North Korea demolished parts of unused road and rail connections to South Korea on October 17. The move follows accusations that South Korea flew drones over Pyongyang. North Korean leader Kim Jong Un has vowed to cut ties with South Korea and shift focus toward direct dealings with the U.S. as regional tensions escalate. Malaysia’s Stock Market Bounces Back After Years of Decline Malaysia’s stock market is experiencing a resurgence, with its benchmark index rising 17% in the past year. The recovery is fueled by robust economic growth and foreign investments from U.S. tech giants like Nvidia and Microsoft. The country’s political stability and thriving IPO market have further bolstered investor confidence, although experts advise caution due to potential global economic risks. Lee Hsien Yang to Apply for Demolition of Lee Kuan Yew’s Oxley Road Home Lee Hsien Yang, the youngest son of Singapore’s founding father Lee Kuan Yew, has announced plans to demolish his father’s Oxley Road home following the recent death of Lee Wei Ling. Despite the move honouring his father’s wish, Lee’s brother, former Prime Minister Lee Hsien Loong, believes the house should be preserved as a heritage site. The Singapore government is weighing public interest against the late leader’s request. -

Thai Street Vendor Attacked by 20 Youths After Firework Warning
while you may be somewhat correct .... I blame the parents. The lack of proper parents and parenting in Thailand is extremely high in numbers. If kids are bought up correctly, they respect & are disciplined. They know right from wrong .... -
