Thanks. Not washing hands, the food itself and preparation surfaces may also have been a cause. -

Report Norway Halts Income Letters at Thai Embassy; Retirees Affected
It is a felony to lie on a statutory-declaration to an officer at the US Embassy. These were for income, not "in the bank" money. And, yes, they will prosecute - but only if they are provided with evidence the declaration was false. Thai Immigration, apparently, never pursued such cases (assuming they ever found any). They did gin-up a ton of agent-business, though, when they raised the "issue" of the possibility some people "might be" lying on their declarations. It's their primary job to help US Citizens abroad, and to maintain communication with the local govt, on our behalf. This isn't about "some officer" - rather, nationwide policy on retirement-extensions. The "extra documents" requests at some offices are something else, and tend to be things like "landlord docs" and such - not related. I don't have any "foreign investments" which need "intel ops" using embassy-cover to protect them., Overthrowing govts, propping up mass-murdering regimes, etc, doesn't help us "peons" one bit. Our money is chicken-feed compared to what some transnational is paying to "get done" via their agency, using the embassy as cover to operate. But it WOULD easily pay for the needed service, so it isn't "hurting the US taxpayer," or something. Now I have to lock up 800K Baht, losing the ROI on that, thanks to the Embassy not providing an OPTIONAL service, which no one was forced to use. Ah, yes, Now we get to the attitude-issue beneath all this - that my/our Thai wife/s "must have been" a "call girl." -

So pop into the hardware store next to the pharmacy and buy some sandpaper. This isn't rocket science! -

Will Mon. June 2, 2025 be an extra holiday ?
Try going to any bank on Monday 2nd or Tuesday 3rd June and demanding entry. Banks are private companies too. The ATMs should be OK until they are empty.
