I think Joe Biden has done a lot for the the average American. In fact, he introduced legislation that all the MAGA nutbag representatives voted against, but when it passed they bragged about it to their constituents and took credit for it. Kind of hypocrite and despicable, don’t you think? But also kind of an underhanded compliment to Biden’s administration, come to think of it. When you talk about feeding from the public trough, those are the representatives that really fit that bill. They do absolutely nothing for their constituents, actually vote against legislation that would benefit them, and then when it passes they have the gall to take credit for it. And for that they rake in $174,000 dollars a year. Plus a whole range of benefits.

So who would you vote for to take Trinks place ( if there was one !) on the new ASEAN Now ??? Candidates for the post ?

When I see obese guys on the chopper, I often wonder how they obtained their BOSIET. Now their medicals will be affected.

There is a reason why legitimate pharmaceutical products come with a product monograph that provide clear instructions on how to use the product. People who do not follow the instructions are usually the ones who have adverse reactions and who sometimes die.

I've completed my OGUK several at BNH Sathorn. At the time I was working for Transocean, it was the Transocean doctor that signed off. I'm not sure if anyone, I get my OGUK done in Pattaya now.

I'm guessing his principle is that he has no idea if he broke the law, as the incident is a few months ago, perhaps he even doesn't think he did and there is no proof.... When being told to pay a speeding fine there is usually a ticket - with this there is nothing which seems very strange. The only think I can think of is that a ticket was sent but was somehow lost (or sent to a wrong address) and the 'digital' system at the DLT only highlights that a fine is outstanding with no further information. Surely there is a way that the DLT can bring up the information?... i.e. at least tell him... time, date, location, speed (and limit)....

You can have less than 6 months validity left on your passport, but your extension (a permit, not a visa) will only be granted up to the expiry date of the passport. After obtaining a new passport, have the stamps transferred, then apply for a further 1 year extension before your last extension expiry date.

Question for the Embassy Team: Does the UK embassy in Thailand ever render assistance to foreign nationals? In countries without UK representation, UK nationals are instructed to present to the nearest Commonwealth representative office for assistance. So I would expect some Commonwealth countries would have similar. For example, Canadian passport says that if a Canadian office isn't present, to contact the nearest Australian or British office. Obviously not needed for Thailand since both countries have consular services available. Just curious if anyone from a Commonwealth country ever needed assistance in Thailand. I would expect that this would be a rarity. Thanks in advance.

Most Likely LOL.

On my part, I make myself a pot of tea, lean back, and enjoy the show.

Correct, He also wanted to pick and choose the events and charities he was involved in or required to be in. He laid out his proposals, leaving him with all the glitz, glamour and titles, but struck out anything he didn't want to do. HM Queen Elizabeth was the one who rejected his proposals outright and told him he could not represent the Royal family on a pick-and-choose or part-time basis.

These properties were not designed for AC to be installed. You are chasing your tail. It will be expensive to redesign the roof to insulate. It will be expensive to run an AC unit without adequate insulation. Buy an extra fan. You will be throwing good money after bad.

100% agree. Truly disgusting SOB. Now he can get a free accommodation(at the expense of Thai police) and (hopefully) free return flight. Looks like more than he initially expected.

Quita a few people showed sympathy to the foreigner in this article. But the beg packer for drug is getting a cold shoulder LOL.

My impression is that Thaiger, and by extension AseanNow, do not syndicate other English-language news publications in Thailand. Very rarely, I see a link to an article in The Nation on AseanNow.

All recently changed. The multi entry Non Imm O visa from Savannahket now requires 400K THB in a Thai bank account for 2 months for the application. The single entry Non Imm O is still available without any proof of finances. You can only apply for a 60-day extension in Country to visit Thai spouse - no financials. The wife must attend with you.

As I cannot read Thai, thanks to AseanNow's Thailand News section I get to read a lot of news about Thailand which otherwise I would not see. Yes, it is mostly AI-generated adaptations from Thai language sources and and other English language publications may have most of it too, but here I have it all in one place without having to load other news websites. No complaints from me.

That is not the principal reason. The media environment has changed. Chat rooms and webforums were very popular back in the 1990's and even into the early 2000's they hung on, and then chatrooms died. Many years ago there was Bangkok Chat. It was spun off from ThaiVisa. Then along came apps like Tinder, Plenty of Fish, Rome, Cupid, Match, Badoo Zoosk and many others. And then Line and WhatsApp appeared. These all put the pressure and eventually killed online chatrooms. And now even these websites are facing competitive pressures as newer more targeted websites like Only Fans have started up. Web forums outside of specialty areas are a dying activity.

30 000 innocent civilians were not killed though . Hamas who released the figures doesnt differentiate between civilians and terrorists . So, 30 000 terrorists and civilians have died , rather than 30000 innocent civilians

Your fortunate then. Many Airbnb owners live overseas and have a caretaker.

You won't lose anything. Immigration will correct the stamp, it happens all the time. Just get that TM30 sorted out before you visit the Immigration office. Even those of us that reside here permanently have to file a TM30. Immigration track the residences of all foreigners.

Paper documents can be infused with drugs , not many people would be willing to take them

No, not me. I'm a syringe in the veins guy. 😎 I've heard it all now, snorting Viagra. 😂
