China Takes Top Spot for Thailand’s Tourist Arrivals
kamma replied to snoop1130's topic in Thailand News
Fun fact: More than 80 percent of the top 40 richest people in Thailand are of pure or partial Chinese ancestry. Of the five billionaires in Thailand in the late-20th century, all of them were of full or at least had partial Han Chinese ancestry. The Chinese have been doing this for generations. And they are smarter at it than Westerners. Where a Western man will marry a Thai woman and then put property etc. into her name...a Chinese will marry a Thai, have a child and then put the property etc. under the child's name! -

Retirement visa VS tourist visa. Advantages?
kamma replied to Hellfire's topic in Thai Visas, Residency, and Work Permits
The Elite Visa is a tourist visa and the Thai government has no problem with you living here on that visa. Been here coming on to 8 years straight and never had any bother with the Elite Visa. -
Online 90-day reports taking longer than usual?
kamma replied to JTXR's topic in Thai Visas, Residency, and Work Permits
For me that's the frustrating thing. There is no consistency. I've been doing online reporting since 2019 and it's always a hit and miss. Currently I'm at the end of my 5 year Elite Membership and was thinking of upgrading to Elite Superior for another 15 years? I know it seems petty but this 90 day reporting requirement, built on this inept system, is what's making me hesitant. 15 more years of dealing with immigration and this nonsense, especially after paying a generous amount of cash? Maybe best to just go home? Kinda missing it too. -

In the same boat. Submitted mine on Feb 6th and still pending (Feb 8th 9:15 PM). My previous submissions all took less than 24 hours?! -
Two Russians Arrested for Begging in Surat Thani
kamma replied to webfact's topic in Southern Thailand News
It's called busking. And is illegal in Thailand without a permit. -
Up north sounds like a good idea. The Russkis love the beaches because they don't really have any in their massive country...except for Crimea, but...that doesn't really belong to them?!

Just an update. My application via the app is still 'pending' but I went ahead and made another application using their website. Applied on June 6th approved June 7th. Thank you for your response ubonjoe. ????

British man hiding in Chonburi over child sexual abuse charges arrested

So it's immigration authorities leading the charge for a criminal offense?! ???? -
Bangkok celebrates first ‘Pride Month’ with newly elected governor
kamma replied to webfact's topic in Bangkok News
But it's not 'inclusive' as it excludes most of the people in the world?! ???? -
I made an online application using the app last week on the 31st of May. Still pending as of today 6th June. I've always found the online process a hit or a miss?!

No I haven't tried to book a slot recently but I do agree that they can become quite full relatively quickly. However, I do order my groceries from Tops and Tescos using Grab and Food Panda. Granted the delivery guy can't bring a ton of stuff on his bike but the delivery is free with Grab so I can make multiple orders.

Are you just trolling? Have you not heard of Grab or Food Panda which allows you to do grocery shopping online, pay by card, and then have your items dropped off at your front door through contact less delivery. In fact you don't even need those apps. Tesco and Tops online allows you pay by card and then request the items be dropped off. You don't have to sign the receipt either you can just acknowledge online that you have received your items. It's quite simple. Either you're just being awkward here or really are a dinosaur that don't know how to use technology?!
