The Only Rule in Thailand Is: Sod Everyone Else Innit
Depends where. In many areas of Bangkok there's an option: - Walk up numerous steep stairs then down the other side. Quite some task for older folks. - Use a zebra crossing - but with some danger. But it depends on other factors. This in Ram Rod, near the hotel I use when lecturing in Bkk there's a zebra crossing and there's many footpath food vendors who are pleasant but don't upset them They seem to take turns when they see older folks want to cross but no vehicles will stop. One, sometimes two food vendors step out onto the crossing seriously flagging cars to stop, then they walk across holding the hand of the elderly person. If a car doesn't attempt to stop one food vendor kicks the car as it passes. What's also taken foot is the food vendors on the other side of RAM road are doing the same thing. Plus the wife of an employee of a major retailer nearby has set up a distribution point for free walking frames. And the wealthy owner of my hotel helps by giving one food vendor some cash to pay the very close by motor cycle boys to take the older folks home for free after shopping. There a manned police box right at the zebra crossing, the cops on duty totally ignore the whole scenario, never offer any help to stop vehicles at the zebra crossing. -

Link for online appointment booking for Hua Hin immigration.
Personally, I have put 1 million baht (200k as an emergency fund) in a fixed account and haven't touched it for 3 years since I started using retirement extension. The only transactions there is the yearly interest and taxes on it. Never had any complaints from the IO, but I understand that not everybody is able to do that. To the IO, I submit only standard account statement from the bank, and copy of the bankbook. Didn't know that the bankbook copy was valid for 2 days. Thought they wanted it done the same day as extension application. Will definitely try it next time. -

Mark Carney Rebukes UK Over Trump Invite, Reasserts Canadian Sovereignty
You may be right. There was a lot of anti-Conservative strategic voting that went on. You can tell by the raw popular vote numbers. The leftist NDP voters deserted their party to vote for Carney purely to block the Conservatives from winning. It doesn't bode well for the future. I am still waiting to see which version of Carney actually governs the country. FIngers crossed....
