Swiss Expat Sentencing in Phuket Set for September 3rd
I can agree with that, instead of backing down and wanting to be seen as politically correct as they are doing in the UK and allowing illegals to walk all over us. -

50,000 baht request from Thai long time friend.
Not only that but once all this is done and dusted, she is moving far away back to her home town (where the cremation was) . It's a Red Buzzer from me. -

Good to see a Bob Scott byline. A premier albino primate, churning out content about Thailand topics. Bravo -

From Brown’s Town to the White House: Kamala Harris’ Jamaican Roots and Global Impact
Why must people be segregated by race all the time? Indian French, African Germans, Latino Spaniards. We don't read about these. But Black Americans are constantly referred to. -

50,000 baht request from Thai long time friend.
I have lent money to friends in the past and borrowed money from friends also. If you want to be sure that a Thai will pay you back get them to put your name on the back of a Land Title, registered at the land Office. It is known as a Guy Fark. If they don’t pay you are entitled to sell the land without going to court. If you use the weaker Jumnong way you will have to go to court to sell the land. Guy Fark is more secure. -

Swiss Expat Sentencing in Phuket Set for September 3rd
I think it has had way too much publicity to disappear. I think they will make an example of him. Too many high level government ministers got involved. Incidentally, there has been fallout over this, even for me in the sticks. I had my first home visit in 28 years. The Immigration officers were pleasant and polite, but insisted on meeting my neighbours, to ensure I had been a good ' foreigner ' and not disturbed the peace of the village. Fortunately, as I have said previously, we have a compound and the only neighbours are my partner's elder sister on one side and mother on the other. However, this home visit was a direct result of negative press in the news regarding foreigners and a clampdown ordered by the government. Was it over the top, of course it was, but we can't argue. Parting words were, Everything OK, I'll see you in six months, or maybe not!- 2

12 month bank statement
Immigrations latest order 35/2561 dated Jan 2019 regarding financial requirements under section 2.22 - retirement, simply states you must provide financial evidence with regard to funds or income based applications. It doesn't stipulate bankbook/statement. They can request either or both at their discretion. -

When it's actually easier to steal than to be honest, what to do?
I had a recent run in with my father in law. He has a car on permanent loan to me, although he occasionally uses it. A small dog ran out from nearside)) in front of me whilst on the move at about 40 kph ( small country road) . I braked but not too hard as neither my wife in the passenger seat not those in the back were belted up. Even so everyone in the car lurched forward. The little dog hit the front bumper on the offside, yelped, rolled a couple of times and ran off. The damage to the car was a small 4 cm crack in the lower half of the bumper. As it is his car, instead of feigning ignorance as to the cause eg: dunno, may be it happened while parked in Big C car park or something, I thought that out of respect and honesty I should show him the crack and explain how it happened. He went ape <deleted> wailing as if it was the end of the world. He then spent the next hour repeatedly and theatrically opening and closing the bonnet loudly, looking underneath, starting and stopping the engine. Finally he stormed off, not looking at me, confiscating the keys so I could not use the car. Finally he calmed down after 3 days, returning the keys without a word. Honesty is never the best policy with a Thai it seems. -

But, slip-ups run in the family? So far seems to evolve and attack every generation. -
