    Did you calculate the very high cost to rent the frequencies from the government ?

    Sorry, I do include the government as a silent partner. Same argument for the government alone. Where does all the money go?

    Frequency lease, labour Income and VAT collected by the government.

    A freaking huge number.

    Try doing 3 or 4 turn a rounds back to back to eg Vietnam.

    Yes that would be risky.

    I have always felt that doing the border runs metv) with the minivan speedsters reduces risk of problems too.

    When that blows up in my face I'm outta here.

    I've always despised the BR. Sitting on a bus risking life for what? So I get a pretty stamp like a well behaved kindy student. Life is real odd sometimes.

    Sorry that won't work. Back to back METV,s are also having problems with Thai imm. The METV was never designed for what you suggest.

    Well, I got a border run next week, so we'll see. Things just recently seem to becoming tighter.

     

    My home embassy replied no such restrictions when I quizzed them on my multiple visas and long stays in Thailand. It is up to IO though. That along with not hearing of any issues from people who get their visa from home country. I will surely post when I'm being denied or hassled over my home purchased metv.

    AIS have always had that. Keep up. ????

    Are you sure? I did spend some time not long ago with AIS staff at Big C Extra and was told no speed increase options once on a plan, but I'm not a regular AIS user and I guess it was a case of hacker staff.

    Have you used the boost option?

    Dtac goes from 1mbps to around 10mbps when testing with fast.com. even though they quote a fantasy speed of 100.

  5. Tigers first up v Blues as usual this next Thursday.

    New rules, new line ups.

    I thought blues may be on the rise up last year. Can't stay down forever.

    But for any improvement by blues I can't help but have a comforting feeling the Tigers will have improved further unless the coach tries some new zen crap.

    Tigers by 36.

    I'm looking forward to seeing cats and swans games to.

    Enjoy ladies!

    Why doesn't someone send a text message to BJ in Thai about getting all offices on the same page regarding this ? As much as he is hardline to foreigners, he is also hardline to the slobs in Imm. offices.

    I'm not a retiree, just an observation that there appears to be a line open to him and from what I read that particular office is a pure headache on the make.

    I think a good way would be to have imm offices post a sign saying as a foreigner, if you feel the rules have not been followed or are not being treated fairly then post all details to a certain address of BJ office.

    But I haven't seen a sign, so you know...

    I agree completely.  I get a Social Security pension from the US together with a pension from a completely different country where I also worked. There's no way any one embassy could possibly verify my income (even if they wanted to)

    Wherever there is a will there is a way. Wherever there is laziness or lack of incentive ....

    Another example of this situation is faked Degrees for work permits. Of course they could be authenticated. But the authorities don't bother. Can anyone suggest a line of income that could not be authenticated?

    After Life with Gervais is excellent. Dark as hell, but hilarious!

     

    Available on Netflix

    Yeah . Just got through it all without killing myself (laughing).

    Pity that it's not of a style that could include more seasons. 

    What will Gayvais's next project be I wonder?
