I'm getting a new passport - what about the visa extension stamp?
There's no need to have your current visa and extension transferred to your new (blue) passport. Just take both passports to immigration when you go for your next extension renewal. I'll be doing the same next year. If you have a 90 day report coming up before then and you do it on-line, use the old passport number. -

UK Divided Voices: UK Abortion Law Faces New Reckoning Amid Rising Activism
No need to apologize Chomps, I wasn't triggered by your hypocrisy. Simply pointing it out. You'd have no issue with a Muslim doing a call to prayer in public. -

Video Police Raid in Saraburi Mistakenly Targets Innocent Board Game Enthusiasts
I understand the laws against gambling. Coming from Australia I have seen only too well the damage poker machines and casinos can do to a family, financially and socially. But for the life of me I can't understand an Act of the Parliament, established in 1935, still prohibiting the owning of more than the prescribed number of playing cards (200 I think?). That said, why would anyone want to own more? I myself have several boardgames such as Monopoly and others that require the use of pretend money. Is this legal? Plus a deck of cards (somewhere. I daren't bring them out of the cupboard). Card games such as UNO, and normal playing cards that can be used for a range of games not requiring money, are all suspected to corrupt the minds of Thai people, yet I can take you to a Cockfighting ring in Chiang Rai, out in the open. I have no interest in such a 'sport', but I do know where it goes on and I'm sure the local cops do. Clearly not an issue for the police. None of my wife's family play board games. They haven't grown up with them, however many of these games enable one to develop strategic thinking, while having engaging interaction and fun with family and friends. I have great memories growing up with these games and the bonding of those taking part. Do we now have to draw the shades to avoid police raids and interrogation? Yet, everybody is sitting around staring at their phones, cut off from each other, selling and/or buy truckloads of lottery tickets. Time for a review and let the police focus on more serious going-ons, rather than stalking the homes of families simply enjoying the company of others. Just my thoughts. -

What things bore and annoy you most?
Australia averages over 4 million cases of food poisoning every year. Last year, that resulted in approximately 48,000 hospitalizations for the severe cases. IMO the Thai methods of cooking finely chopped proteins and vegetables are actually more effective in reducing the risk of food poisoning. -

UK Divided Voices: UK Abortion Law Faces New Reckoning Amid Rising Activism
Nonsense, abortion has not “been legalized up to birth”. On the matter of ‘Abortion being settled law’ I take it that was an attempt at satire.
