People keep posting, Thailand expensive, but I'm not seeing it!
Cheese is dependent on where it comes from, eg Australian Edam is a lot cheaper than Dutch Edam. Most supermarket pre packed is about 1-1.5 baht/gram, about the same as in the UK. -

People keep posting, Thailand expensive, but I'm not seeing it!
I am in Australia and yes most basics are more expensive here - prices have gone up a lot in the last year or two - but many things: wine, beer, chocolate, many nuts, many cereals, are more expensive in Thailand. Those things are a significant part of what I buy so Thailand doesn't come out that far on top. -

5 year multiple entry DTV visa (Destination Thailand) from 2024-xx-xx
@makescents At the London embassy, any document that is not specifically as described is passed to "request for further documents" at the initial stage. I suspect this is done by a lower level MFA employee. After further documents have been submitted, there appears to be some scope for interpretation of the whole applicant's situation. I suspect this is done by a more senior MFA official So, what has happened in your case is absolutely normal. You initially did not provide what was required and a further request for documents was sent back. Many successful applicants have found it a good idea to include a short covering letter with the further documents explaining why they have not provided precisely what is required and why they feel they qualify. -

Do you still read books?
Yes, I did. I would often sit down and think up new ways to organize the books. I had them put in storage like all my belongings before I came to Thailand. I used a thematic system. For instance all the Psychology and Psychoanalysis books together, history together, philosophy, literature, social anthropoogy, music, explorer literature, dictionaries, erotic literature, and so on. Within those categories I would then use a national system, so English history, Spanish history, American history and so on, German philosophy, French philosophy, Indian philosophy, Japanese philosophy etc. Within those sometimes there would be further sub categories, for instance in English literature I would group poetry separately from novels. At one point I got an app that could scan books and thus database them, but it was too much work, I could not keep it up. Too many books. They are still sitting in boxes in a garage in the homeland now. Like you I also would have preferred hardwood cases. But given the number of bookcases I needed and due to the fact I wanted some with doors, in the end I chose the Ikea book cases with doors. They look like wood. I was never that happy with them though, as that Ikea look is too cheap for a proper library. But they did the job and it was a cost decision in the end. From your questions I gather you are a fellow bibliophile? -

Trump deporting migrants to 3rd World countries contrary to Court orders
LOL - OK clarification: Trump Administration by way of Executive Orders. It's why so many Courts are challenging deportations / attempted deportations contrary to the Constitution
