Confuscious

Like another poster said, humans are becoming more tech-savy and more technology advanced but are more dumber on survival skills and communication skills. In some way, humans are becoming robots.

Confirms that the English Embassy does care about his citizens contrary to some posts ...

Not at all Just looks strange that you never hear of it.

Was his "Thai Denmark Milk" account SPONSORED by FaceS..t?

Looks like yourr BULLS..T is confirmed by many MODERATORS according to this post I assume that Mr. BIGSTAR is the one who jumps into these threads and attack other posters without funded reason?

As @ubonjoe has stated different offices different needs. Phitsanulok was fine with the computer copy but my nearest office is Phetchabun and immediately said no must be hand written, also they will not accept the downloaded forms as they have preprinted their own forms which have all the various coloured stamps included, that is from my direct experience, others have not had the same "guidance" from them like the "must use blue ink". Posted October 4, 2018 All Government,official forms are required to be filled in with blue pen. regards wogeodie https://talk.thethaiger.com/topic/17653-stm2-acknowledgement-of-conditions-for-permitted-continuation-of-stay/#google_vignette Posted September 16, 2022 On a slightly related note: I was at immigration recently, applying for an O visa , and met with the usual excessive paperwork, 2 copies of everything including the docs in the above post. I fell foul of the “ blue v black pen “ syndrome, which I had previously thought was a myth, and suffered the icy stare of the IO for this , honestly anyone would have thought I had snook into her house and pissed in her fridge by the look of disgust I got for this misdemeanour !! Apparently , the blue ink helps them distinguish the original documents from the photocopies !! I nearly suggested they stopped photocopying every fu%#ing document but stopped myself just in time . Crossy Global Moderator Posted October 4, 2018 Quite believable I'm afraid. I had some photocopies rejected by SCB because I'd signed them in black, "looks too much like a photocopy, please use blue pen". Blue pens are readily availalble even in the US. Korat Kiwi Advanced Member Posted February 15 I did an extension in Korat today. While I was filling out the many forms TM7 included, I noticed several people were also filling out forms as the ones that they had filled out online weren't acceptable. It appears everything has to be done on one's own handwriting. I find this a bit backwards in some ways as my handwriting is very close to chicken scrawl. It has been a while since I last applied for an extension. I'd forgotten how many different forms you need. Official immigration website just mentions TM7 and providing a photo. No mention of certificate of residence, copy of house book, copy of missus ID card, notification of residence, Form acknowledging penalties for overstay. And a few others I can't remember. No longer a simple process but I did manage to get it all done on second visit. Only took an hour on the second visit. Not really looking forward to applying for retirement visa... Might take the easy option via an agent.

Are you serious????????????????

Wars have always existed. The lack of information such as internet was not existing and we were not so informed as now, but there have been worldwide wars in the past. And the problem of the homeless people is not new or reduced to only america. Homeless people problem exists also in Europe. Although, having homeless people and homeless war veterans while offering 5 star hotel rooms to illegal immigrants is a sign of the times we are living in. Would this have been possible 60 years ago? I don't think so...

The Police is charging the "rain" for the "mishap", not the pickup driver. The pickup driver is innocent, but the "SUDDEN RAIN" will face justice. TIT

The "girl" was too busy with playing on the phone and fixed to the screen. She didn't even turn her head each time the spoon was brought to her mouth.

The English Embassy, if the have any decency, should take note of this and bring this to the INTERNATIONAL NEWS. The English Embassy should escalate this case of malfaicance of the police to the (international) courts. The English Embassy/Expat community should organize a visit to the Police and the Mair of Phuket and publish this case on al Social Media Channels. Making this case known public all over the world would make the Police and governor being shamed. I see here an opportunity for ASEANNOW to organize this march.

So, THE BRITISH WOMAN was driving the van???????????????????? Is that the level of reporting of Thaiger??????????????

But you are making unfounded accusations. Strange that the mod's allow this.

Anotai, described as of unsound mind but able to communicate coherently, lives in the area with her brother, who was absent at the time of the assault. The hospital later disclosed that she is HIV positive. STUPID COMMENT FROM SOMEONE WHO CAN NOT READ

In a way, pity that the rape did not succeed and he would have catched HIV too.

My more than 2 decades in Thailand: 1. A few years ago, it started to rain heavy and water levels on my street started to rise. As I had already witnessed a few floodings in my street, I drove my car to the main street (higher grounds) and took a motorbike taxi home. The next day, my street was flooded (about 40cm) and I waited for the water to receede to get my car back. At the evening, the water in the street was at a normal level and I went for my car. I was sure that I parked my car at a 7/11 shop, but it was not there anymore. Went the street up-and-down 500 meters, but not a sign of my car. Went to the police station nearby and told them my story. The policeman in charge took a policecar and we went the street up-and-down again. Found my car, located about 1km at the next 7/11 2. On a Saturday, 1st day of Songkhran, I went with my daughter to the horse riding school. It was located on an isolated place, far away from the local traffic. In the evening, as I was driving home, a cooling pipe burst and the cooling water drained out. In the middle of nowhere, on a holiday weekend and it was starting to be dark. A pick-up, full of people in the back celebrating the water splashing, passed me and saw that I was in trouble with my car. The driver stopped and came to look if he could offer some help. After explaining to him what happened, he called a tow vehicle and waited with us. The tow vehicle arrived about 10 minutes later and the driver of the pickup gave instructions to tow my car to the dealer. I paid the tow vehicle and the pickup driver invited me and my daughter to celebrate Songkhran with his family. We had the best Songkhran ever and sleeped at his house that night (on my daughters demand). The driver of the pickup was a high police officer. 3. Long ago, I was already divorced and had the custody of my daughter, a new law was out which implied that children should have an ID-Card at the age of 9 years. We went to the local City Hall for an ID-Card, but it was denied as the clerk insisted that the mother was needed to file for an ID-Card. I presented the divorce documents where I had the FULL parenthood, but for her the presence of the mother was needed. We went to the main City Hall for an ID-Card, but it was denied for the same reason. The clerk showed me a civil law book that stated that until the age of 16 years the mother had to be present for all oficial documents. After a few weeks, trying every possible step, we went to the Immigration Police and asked for their advice. The Immigration Police officer went with us and 2 other Immigration Policeman to the main City Hall, had a word in private with the clerk and returend a few minutes later. The clerk wrote a few papers, took pictures of my daughter and 15 minutes later we left the City Hall WITK an ID-Card for my daughter. To keep it short, my encounters with the police have been very pleasant compared to the Police in my country.

The little girl knew exactly on which "buttons" on the screen to click -> problem solving, ingenuity, The little girl was glued to the cell phone screen -> attention span, Maybe not the kind of skills which were needed to actually be compared to a mature person, but certainly more advanced at her age as I was when I was 4 years old. Agreed, I had other skills, more social oriented as this little girl. I remember my own daughter, when she was 8 years old, she asked me to download a program on her computer to do her "Speedpaint". The program (Japanese) was very similair to Adobe Photoshop, but more oriented to "Speedpaint". I downloaded it from a Torrent site, checked it for viruses, and installed it on her computer. Later that day, when she started her computer, she started to make a "Speedpaint" movie without reading a single manual. Longest Speedpaint evar.mp4

Print the documents in fax format (TIFF) and send them with your phone to a fax number. No problem.

I go every day eat lunch and enjoy a cup of coffee at some mall. Today, while eating lunch at Central Plaza's food park, a woman and her daughter came to sit at the table next to me. We greeted each other and had a little chat. The daughter was 4 years old. While spoon feeding the daughter, the child was playing on a cell phone. Her little hands holding the phone while her little tumbs were pushing the screen at random places with precision. I tried to imagine when I was 4 years old and somebody would give me a cell phone if I would know what I had to do with it. No manual. No instructions. No buttons or switches. Are children in this century more advanced as the children from 60 years ago? Without doubt more tech savy.

Fully understandable. If she had also plastic bag over her head, it would be an obvious suicide case. But no plastic bag over her head sound suspicious. Thai police = walking amoebe
