Laughing at everyone talking about what’s unethical in Thailand. Everything here is unethical. The Thais know this and play the game accordingly. Thai society is built on corruption and connections. Period.
Why swim upstream in a society built on not getting in the water to begin with?
on point . if you removed all corruption over night the economy would collapse.

very interesting that this topic comes up now , iv just got my third extension on retirement two days ago .
done by my lawyer in CM.
the price went up from 23000thb last year to 35000thb this time , but , i didnt need to even have a bank account this time , just passport and extra photos.
i was abit surprised myself , but my lawyer told me no problem , its all good , we use our bank account for letter to immigration ,and thats what the extra charge is for . totally worth it .
so , go figure that one .

The exchange rate is set by Mastercard / Visa
My experience withdrawing cash over the counter:
wrong . the exchange rate is set by the bank that issued you the card .
they are not all the same .

That is where much of the confusions exists and this is site is ThaiVisa and is mostly about Thailand and the Australian Aged Pension (AAP). Portability for the DSP has not been available anywhere since 1/01/2013. Older long term recipients may succeed in appealing this rule but very few succeed. If their only long time carer lives in Thailand well that might work.
absolute bullsh.t.
i applied last october for the DSP ,got it no worries.
then in feb i applied for portability, six weeks later got it without any problem.
the oz government now pays me full pension to live anywhere in the world ,for as long as i like .

your audiologist would have set them to your specific settings according to your hearing test , when you first had them fitted.
to have them reset in NZ you will need to find a place that deals in the same brand ,and will need to sit another hearing test so they know were to set it to.
alot depends also on how old they are .

A tiny minority of areas in Thailand may work like that, as they are considered 'special', so the police can do what they want, but I am not sure if the area the OP lives is part of those areas.
Usually what happens is people do not follow the step by step process (many Thais don't even know what options are available to them). The biggest example of that is they complain to the police, rather than the Tessaban who deal with public health law (ie noise complaints).
Most areas of the country (with the current political climate) are controlled by the army. As a previous poster wrote with his restaurant about noise complaints, his experience was able to pay police off, but not the army.
If the OP issue is purely noise complaints, then the army tribunal will contact the Tessaban. The Tessaban must act as the army have told them to. The Tessaban will tell the police to fine the bar. If the police refuse to administer the fine the Tessaban has told them to do (as they are on the take), then the Tessaban will contact the Governor. Under public health law, the Governor is allowed to administer the fine the police should have to the bar.
Even if the Governor is also on the take so does not fine the bar, they will at least take care of the noise. As if he doesn't, and the party has gone through the proper means of doing things (army tribunal has found the place to be a violation), then the Governor will be found not to be sufficient at their job and end up in a real court (so they will at least stop the noise out of fear of losing their job).uummmm, that was my post about my restaurant, and is not a minority area. loi kroh rd to be precise.
one would be pretty nieve to think im the only one in the city to do this, i know a lot of bar owners that do the same .
as for the rest of your post ,yes , they are the correct chanels to go thru , but , corruption here runs very deep , as you know .

Been told hands off by police according to the OP? That is completely different from army, as previous poster have pointed out. They were able to pay off police, not army.
thats not quite how it works. ill tell you what happens from first hand experiance , if you PM me ,ill even tell you the names of the cops.
a monthly payment of 30 000thb to these 2 cops, will buy you immunity from prossecution.
that means you wont be charged for any violations.
heres how it works.
the army acts on any complaints recived and will raid the premises,and if violations found, will arrest the owner/manager.
they then hand you over to the cops for prossesing and they make out a report giving you the all clear.
small fine to cover the costs, 2000thb,and your free to go .
that happend twice in 6 months to me .

I asked the Mrs and this is probably a more logical way to deal with it, the way Thai people would if they understood the systems:
"Tell the people go to the provincial army courtIn Thai, called "Soon Dham Rong Tham"
Then the army can help with that case
If army do not do anything then tell them to send a letter to the governor and the governor will then manage it
If all fails get the media involved (just go to their Facebook pages), the official way of doing things suddenly starts working. This is because they have projects like 'Channel 7 helping people', they enjoy doing stories on things police/army fail to manage"
From my experience with the local army tribunals they will put restrictions/times on when the place can be open and when it has to be closed by.agreed. going to the cops is a waste of time .
report it to the army , they will respond.
i know this to be fact because of twice being raided for noise complaints at my restaurnt in loi kroh rd.
the army carnt be bourght off with brown envelopes.

Perhaps the theory that children create language is "utter tosh," but if so, that tosh is endorsed by scientists like Robert Sapolsky at Stanford and Stephen Pinker at Harvard whose book, "The Language Instinct," cites how children will spontaneously develop a grammar-consistent creole when growing up in a mixed culture. Here's a link to a lecture from Sapolsky's Stanford course on human behavioral biology. Perhaps your listening skills are a bit better than your reading ability.
pity it dosnt have sub-titles.
