  1. Expect longer processing times on entry/exit to/from Thailand with possible questioning leading to ever longer queues. Expect long processing times for extensions of stay - especially Non-O. They will be looking through every line on bank statements multiple times and will thumb back and forth through passport at least 6 times going forward. Just looking for something. Any slightest discrepancy will be questioned and likley rejected. In related news. Jomtien immigration finally broke a record for queues. Now you can sit on the beach while waiting your turn for interrogation! Of course, using an agent for fee will not change, and will expediate your application as always ๐Ÿ™‚
  2. Milking her assets and talents for all their worth. No doubt there's a long line of Somchais (and likely a few farangs now) hoping for more than mango sticky rice. Could even say they might like to boom boom Boom Bin.
  3. Aussie and Kiwis not being able to apply for visas to Thailand... best news so far today ๐Ÿ™‚ Clearly, the Thai MoFA has a tech issue so hopefully they will get it back online soon. Likely after enough phone calls to the Thai embassies in OZ & NZ.
  4. Good question. I was wondering same. From the picture it looks like the train track (the wide strip) will have to be elevated over the top of the "culvert". See no mention of trains passing through the "culvert". It say's vehicle pass though the culvert so the trains must go up and over.
  5. I don't know the answer to your question. I would simply find another dealer that can supply the latest model.
  6. The fees could be something to with bringing it back in to Thailand. As OP say's, it's not coming back to Thailand, so no issue.
  7. Something may have been lost in translation. Expect the article meant "pub/bar/venue serving alcohol" rather than "liquor store". Either way, not nice to see someone injured. Could have been worse. But surely the police will also be investigating why it was still open at 04:30am. Or do they have a "special" licence?
  8. Some people never learn. Good luck to the OP. No upside in marriage for men.
  9. I travel to/from Thailand a lot so last time I was here for 90 days was during Covid. I was here for 13 months and that was the only times I filed the TM47 (90 day report). Assume TM47 is not required unless in country for 90 days or longer.
  10. How about "some of the above". I selected digital nomad as I run my overseas business from Thailand. I'm not retired but work only 7 months per year. I'm not looking for a wife but have a lovely long term partner here. I'm not a businessman in Thailand but do have business elsewhere I'm an entrepreneur but have not yet found anything compelling for me to set-up in Thailand I'm not a sexpat, but have been known to enjoy the company of other ladies (less nowadays).
  11. I really feel sorry for the poor saps who have to deal with Jomtien (be that tourist or Non-O long stay). I'll be doing my annual extension at CW Bangkok, this Thursday. 44 days before extension expiry. Never a problem. I will be in Pattaya on 11th April, could be quite entertaining to see the frustration and frayed tempers at Soi 5, Jomtien.
  12. I thought same. After reading, I could see no definition of what constitutes a classic car. Over 40 years old would be fair IMO. Or a kit car (not mass produced/marketed model) too.
  13. When I bought Gold last year in Chinatown, I wanted 99.99%. After trying many shops, I found only one small boutique that sold it. Their buy/sell spread was ridiculous like 500 Baht IIRC. All the other shops selling 99.99 pure only had 1 kilo bars (not the quantity I wanted ๐Ÿ™‚). In the end I queued up far an hour at one of the Hua Seng Heng stores watching huge amounts of mostly gold jewelry being bought and sold. I bought smaller minted bars at 96.5% pure. The buy/sell spread is only 50 Baht. It has turned out to be a satisfying purchase. Hopefully, if the OP @Keeps buys Gold for his GF, he can say same. Consider it a gift (along with other advice he might get on this thread).
