  1. Make them eat Thai food with no rice
  2. Obviously! Agent orange please choke on your fat tongue
  3. I am close to buying an inexpensive used car. I have work permit so allowed to put in my name but 3 hours in immigration and day wait for Certificate of Residence is a hassle and 1900b. alternative is to put in my company. Anyone who has put in company would love to hear pros and cons vs in my name. I will occasionally rent the car out. thx
  4. Great news! Less lazy Thai kids staring at their phones.
  5. Absolute idiotic idea. I drove the route a week ago. Locals firmly against it, signs up everywhere. Unload, load, unload load on to a different ship? Gonna be a long cargo falling off the back of the truck
  6. More newsworthy if you don’t get injured walking on a Thai sidewalk
  7. It’s a biodiverse and gorgeous area. Thinking that parking the largest ships in the world on both sides of of the coast and spending weeks loading and unloading with train transit to save the relatively short journey around Malaysia is just ridiculous. This is a project just to guarantee decades of tea money envelopes and destroy a pristine area. Horrible idea.
  8. A date in Thailand is 2000bt for one hour preferably 30 minutes. Those websites just help you find dates.
  9. Thank Buddha! The year before Covid was horrendous
  10. I have experience with this now 2 years for a multiple entry non b. Firstly, there is no option to apply on the platform for a multiple entry. I was in the city of the consulate so I personally went down and spoke with the visa manager. He told me to apply for any multiple business visa and to upload my documents (work permit, company update etc), pay $200 and he would issue my one year multiple (this consulate has issued me over 10 years of non b visas). I chose a BOI visa, uploaded documents, paid and it worked without a hitch. This year I did the same. First i visited consulate, then I chose BOI, uploaded documents and paid $200. One week before my flight I got a BOI visa. I honestly didn’t think much of it. 4 days before my flight consulate called me saying they gave BOI and if I need non b I need to reapply and repay. I found out I do in fact need Non B for my work permit so the entire process again another $200 and I did get the visa. The e visa process I assume was to make their job easier, in my case I guess it just caused more work (and an extra $200 ) which all could have been remedied if they just added multiple as a choice in the drop down box. If the consulate does not have a history with you, good luck. My guess is it would be difficult. More easy to just say no.
  11. Ok so Russia attacks a sovereign nation and their citizens get free visa extensions? Someone explain this one. Why create a dodge drafting haven if the government is so concerned about protecting the precious Thai’s jobs?
  12. These lists are such BS. Moneytransfer.com? 555 no where in India on the list? Taj Mahal just a tad more crowded
  13. Trumps main success would be through his lies and deception he succeeded in tearing the country mentally in half and created millions of angry trumpers that don’t even consider science or reason. Reaching across the aisle to come to an agreement is over. Don’t forget the yahoos he put in his cabinet that were the antithesis of their powerful positions, for instance pro fossil fuel lawyer Scott Pruitt. Biden is old and doesn’t give the most energizing speeches but he has passed the inflation bill, chips bill to combat China giving the US a softer landing then Europe on the inflation front. Most importantly things are calm, reasonable and fairly normal. The government will probably not get funded end of month and shut down, and from who? The far right trumper Republicans in the house. Chaos is their playbook. No Chance I would even consider giving my vote to a fraudster like Trump and thanks to him, the Republican Party is like a badly damaged ship lost in space.
  14. And Thai doctors keep telling me don’t eat anything with wings if I want to avoid gout attacks. It’s 2023! Come on
  15. 20+ years KP. 3 choices Tong Sala & just outside (best option) Seethanu (if that’s your thing) Chuloklum (nicer beaches up and coming, great restaurants)
  16. Prices have gone a bit crazy there of late. I would check the Facebook groups. Koh phangan house for rent. Might get lucky but have to jump on anything you like
  17. Now we know why there is never any parking at the pier. how did he acquire 23 bikes without a work permit? Pretty difficult to transfer a green book without proper visa or wp.
  18. Raja Ferry’s are a total embarrassment to the tourists who come to visit the islands in the gulf of Thailand. The run down ships spew massive dark black clouds of exhaust extending for hundreds of meters day in and day out. Sitting on my beach house balcony in Koh Phangan I have watched countless sunset spoiling Raja Ferrys. Take some corporate responsibility and drain the tanks on each ship, sink the fleet, create some dive sites and structure for fish and buy some decent ships!
  19. If your wife is the director no issues but if your the director and don’t have a work permit you can not get work permits for your staff (Burmese)
  20. Yes it’s been full for the last 2+ months. The island is on fire at the moment and prices have jumped fast. I have heard multiple stories of people showing to to resorts prepaid from booking.com and being told no room and I know multiple people who have given up looking and moved to Samui. Spend time looking before you come and don’t expect any discounts.
  21. Sounds like a brilliant bit of leverage the cops can use to extort money from Farang that mess up.
