  1. The ashes do not look like drugs, they are opaque ie. they could be used to mask another object. Remove the ashes from your carry on, advise the loader what they are. They may pass a metal detector over container (if not metal). This was method of operation in Aust. No documentation was required but could help to support claim if required.
  2. Go to Branch Coffee Shop No1.. on beach road Jomtien, great coffee I drink espresso and they give me small jug of water to adjust to taste. Sit in open courtyard with a lovely sea breeze and look out over the ocean. Good menu, lovely decorated juices, drinks etc Is well down beach road where they launch boats etc so always some activity boats or people to liven the experience.
  3. It was reported on AN some time ago police had raided an accountants / solicitors office in Patong (cannot remember which) investigating similar and is within time frame of date on documents produced in this instance. By coincidence on thurs. afternoon my partner was sitting in Jomtien Hospital waiting on test results. In waiting room was falang and thai partner, in walked police (DSI) approached falang with documents in hand and asked if he was ....... They all left together.
  4. It is my belief that Thai Immigration do not enforce incoming traveller to have six months remaining on there pp. Could anyone endorse this fact for me. I recently received my new Non O renewal that coincided with the expiry date of my pp and I was aware of this fact and it was only a difference of ten days so did not concern me. It is my intention to renew this pp in the near future but would be more convenient to do this at a later date because of current overseas travel plans. I am aware of issues with airline check-in staff overseas.
  5. I am not american and do not vote in their elections but I am appalled that this man can be eligible to be elected to the POTUS. I do not think I have ever seen or heard of such a despicable character to be considered eligible for such a position. To me the barometer for Trump in his term as POTUS was the people he employed to support his term in office but to be then discarded in the most offensive terms. But you then read the comment of very senior people that were part of his inner circle and very seasoned diplomats and of two I recollect describe him as totally unworthy and incapable of being an effective POTUS. I cannot believe that many in the GOP could in any way support this criminal so feel the world will not be destined to suffer another term of this criminal buffoon.
  6. I have not read all the comments on this thread. Am not a user but had no issue with those that do apart from the inconsiderate people who did smoke in public venues which has always been illegal. BUT the person responsible for this total fiasco is Anutin who made cannabis legal but never put the necessary legislation in place for the use of. This is no real surprise highlighted by his incompetence as Health Minister and again in his present ministerial position.
  7. Being the holder of a passport from two different countries and having used both to enter Thailand due to being in either country at different times and wanting to apply for a visa to enter Thailand. I have been asked if I am a passport holder of the other country. So they of this once they enter your name into the database. As I think Dr Jack advised , no need to worry.
  8. I will definitely endorse the financial penalty as stated by Spidermike. Happened to two close contacts over three year period including the phone number of girlfriend who was with one at the time and he phoned number given to ensure it was correct.
  9. Concerning the payment of B2,000 to gran. On the assumption that gran had more than one child and your partner is not the only grandchild but she (you both) is giving B2,000 then gran must be living a very good life assuming there are other daughters, sons, grandchildren who have left school if all contributing a minimum of B2,000. The vicious aunt, daughter or inlaw? What is her contribution to her mother or mil.
  10. I had a joiner do built-in wardrobe cabinets on patio and he came recommended to me, his phone number is 0819836321. I was very pleased with his work. Sorry do not have name.
  11. It is my experience having worked in airline security that you are not prevented from taking ashes onto an airplane however you should remove the vessel holding these ashes from your carry on luggage and declare to the officer what the vessel contains. The reason for this is the ashes are opaque and they may swab the vessel containing the ashes for explosive residue. Please note this was the practice in Australia approx. 5 years ago.
  12. The real concern is that you will have an idiot falang willing to be the actor in the "drunken falang mockery" for some bizarre reason of feeling important or whatever.
  13. If placed in this situation and I wish to oblige I always say .... all care no responsibility
  14. In those pacific islands there are many indians who have been there a very long time. Especially Fiji.
  15. fdimike... name other countries where the opposition can oppose and vote down the choice of a PM candidate when various parties combine to form a ruling coalition.
  16. In the case of Biden, I think a lot of the issue was vote anyone else but Trump. The people may not have got the ideal POTUS but at least they got rid of the worst. For that most of the world were eternally grateful.
  17. If in fact the cop owned the vehicle in his own name only, maybe not a crime. I am obviously not commenting on the matter of assault etc.
  18. Is this not the case where Dupre entered Thailand with another Canadian and conducted a professional hit on this Indian - Canadian criminal. Both handguns used in the murder and discarded after the shooting belonged, one to a retired policeman and the other to a retired army officer. As per usual we have never heard anything further in relation to the handguns. It is intriguing how two hitmen from overseas and arrive in Thailand to conduct this murder are able to source weapons from such ex high ranking officers.
  19. One of lifes good guys, you gave so much to so many. You can rest now.
  20. Good luck SAFETY FIRST but I will be more surprised if you beat her time. In that garb is a very creditable time for an amateur.
  21. As has been stated it is the length of time Songkran is celebrated in Pattaya / Jomtien, some nine days. You fearless warriors who relish throwing water over those who obviously do not want take part in your childish fun but you consider it so much fun to douse people in water usually against those moving on bikes or cannot identify you brave souls hiding in a group. Your actions go far beyond the traditions of songkran and it seems you only want to partake in the traditions of Thailand when it suits your puerile behaviour . I may want to throw a bucket of water over you next week and it will be so much fun, you ok with that. I did travel elsewhere for four days to avoid the jerks who in my years have always found to be falang. To those who suggest we should love being doused even when we do not attend those areas where it is inevitable is baffling to me. I have crossed roads to avoid falang idiots for them only to cross and attempt to soak you however when you then pursue and confront them they then become the wimps they are.
  22. I am not American but also not any fan of Trump. One only has to listen to people such as Bolton who served Trump to get an insight to his ability to be a POA. This pending court case is only the first of many possible charges that Trump may face prior to the next elections and given the slow pace at which justice moves these all could be interpreted as interference in his election bid. From my limited knowledge these could include a possible rape charge and I am certain that I have read the company behind the machine that was used to count votes in only one state at the last presidential elections has legal action pending.. They have already begun action against Fox. To those that slander Biden and question his ability one should then ask why he was able to legitimately beat Trump. I say legitimately as there has never been any successful legal action to show otherwise that I am aware of. It is my thought that it was vote for anyone else other than Trump. As a non american but member of this universe I have never witnessed such a destructive character on the international front. As I have little knowledge of internal american internal matters and policies other than the blatant mistruths and his atrocious vitriol that was certainly not becoming of any person holding that office
  23. As per usual with Thailand, I think the issues lies with lack of information. I regularly fly between pacific countries and on entry to those countries you are asked to sign a declaration in regard to specific items and as stated by others is a legal document. I have flown into Thailand on many occasions but have never been provided with any written information or documentation advising on what I can or cannot bring into the country and advising for example volume of alcohol permitted or regulations pertaining to number of cigarettes (I do not smoke). Maybe this would also be an oppurtunity to advise travellers re vaping regulations.
  24. Can somebody please verify this......article states.....re insurance of current exemption if you hold work permit, which we know is correct BUT then says It is stipulated also covers foreigners returning with a re entry permit authorised before they left Thailand......can anybody please verify is this fact or fiction
  25. Safety First....you may have grown up in same city but with "g`day mate" on site you must have changed country of domicile also
