    I tried one of those things and personally I don't like it.

    I understand when people ride them who don't know, and don't want to learn, how to use a clutch and gears.

    "Personally don't like it."  🥱

    I understand when people ride them who don't want to be bothered with a clutch and gears.

    Treatment not cured and YES I MENTIONED EPILEPSY..but generally it's all fake news. The greatest natural drug is heroin and other opiates which big pharma and the church and the left hate.

    Are you stoned now?  How did you manage to get "the left" linked in with big pharma and the church. 
    Are you high on MAGA?

    Since 3 Months I have this Xiaomi Air Purifier. Very effectiv....no more hacking, coughing and sneezing! Before I had a No Name Product for 500 Baht, was not working, be careful, there are many of this kind in the Market: Air Pollution= Air Purifier big Business= Many Sharks!

    Xiaomi Air Purifier 4 Compact

    https://www.lazada.co.th/products/i4906036289-s20676995954.html?urlFlag=true&mp=1&tradePath=omItm&tradeOrderId=811692144385564&tradeOrderLineId=811692144485564&spm=spm%3Da2o42.order_details.item_title.1

    I have the same model for my bedroom. It always shows green unless I spray some aerosol near to test it. 
    Hmm.. I put it outside on the balcony to test - AQI 160 or more - still reads green. Maybe 160 is perfectly acceptable by Chinese standard?
    The xiaomi  4 Lite in the living room works as expected.

      1.  It's co-located next to the outbound immigration lines on the right.  So, you obtain it prior to going through outbound immigration.

     

      2.  TM8, copy of passport pages (front page with bio info, latest entry stamp, latest permission to stay), copy of latest 90 day report, copy of TM30, passport photo (4x6 cm).

     

      3.  I paid the fee for obtaining a multiple re-entry permit, which is 3800 thb.  There was no "additional" charge, if that's what you're asking.

    2.  Passport and 1200 baht. They will do the rest.

    Exactly, many people just do not realise the banks, and Governments want us to stop using cash. Then they will have one more step to complete control.

    Two things to remember:

    - Government is totally incompetent and can't do anything right.

    - Government is going to control your every move by brilliant, devious, plans.

    Chiang Mai Immigration Q & A - Info and reports. (2020)

    in Chiang Mai

    Posted

    Here's one for fun.
    I presented the one year statement from Bangkok bank. It showed 12 transactions marked
    "foreign T/T".  I had to go back and get at letter from Bangkok bank stating that the 

    items marked foreign transfer were, uh, foreign transfers. 

    Years ago the bank official added a handwritten note stating the FTT items in my book were foreign transfers.
    He said "immigration knows this but they will pretend they don't".

    What F"""ing business is it of yours why people use a legitimate agent?

    You do not know the logistics involved in people's individual cases, like how far from the office, which office whether it is agent or lawyer, whether they pick you up etc etc!

    Keep your nose out of my and other's business!

    Maybe yellowtail thinks this is a public forum where people can exchange ideas and opinions.

    Re-entry permit in Chiang Mai

    Good grief!  Of course one has the right to  fly without a reentry permit and give up the visa but some would choose not to if they couldn't get the permit, i.e. miss the flight. 

     

    It's your responsibility to get the RE.  Wow, really?  Can be obtained at immigration office? No shi1t?  Tell us more.

    Its not secret,  anyone can turn up at Grand Lodge in London and take a tour.

    Its only that there are parts of Masonry that are confidential and for members only just like any other organization.

    Such as what other organizations?  Boy Scouts?  Lions Club? PTA?  AA?

    You can't just take a sample in Bangkok and extrapolate that to the whole country.  Too many KFC's and McDonalds in BKK.

    Conventional wisdom, I guess. Take a ride out in the country hours from KFC or McD which they couldn't afford anyway. You'll find plenty of obese people. They still have coke, fanta, and all their homemade sugar drinks and fried snacks.  Lots of sugar in Thai foods, too.
