  1. Maybe better to put the AI into the head of brain-dead idiots that currently kill each other on the roads.
  2. Can I suggest at blowing 20,000 Baht per experience plus the JB; get out and travel around. 20,000 Baht per episode will take you along way, both within and outside of Thailand. Experience different places and different cultures, you never know who you might meet that could positively change your life forever. As they say, "If you never go, you will never know" Good luck
  3. Moved from Bangkok to Hua Hin in Oct 2022, my Visa was issues in April 2022 in Bangkok CW, expired in April 2023 while in Hua Hin, now renewed in Hua Hin Completed TM30 on arrival in Hua Hin. Have done two 90 day online reports in Hua Hin since I arrived in Hua Hin, before my visa expired in April 2023. I use the magnifying glass to autopopulate the TM47, as expected even with my TM 30 a month old now in Hua Hin my first TM47 submission was rejected. Submitted it again 2 days later, rejected again, submitted it again 2 days later, rejected again, submitted again 2 days later.........wham'o approved. Finally, someone in Immigration looked at my TM47 submission after being rejected 3 times, and referenced the TM47 information against the IM database and said to themselves, <deleted> me "the Farang is correct". Found two things while living here for the past 6 years in Thailand, never ask any IM officer about IM IT system problems, response "software no good" and if you believe your TM47 information is current and correct, keep submitting it online as often as you can, it ALWAYS eventually gets someone attention to look it and in my case got 100% approvals, eventually! From my limited understanding of how the TM47 online reporting system and IM database, work together real time, "THEY DON'T". They seem to have no API (Application Programming Interface) or ESB (Enterprise Service Bus) between the IM legacy system and the TM47 enterprise system. What it means for us,.....often pain and frustration.
  4. He was aided by Pattaya Police after he was allegedly attacked by 2-3 guards of an unidentified go-go bar on Pattaya Walking Street at 3:30 AM today. Sure, pull this one, it squeaks. The only reason it's unidentified is
  5. Um, doubt you change decades of ingrain backroom promotion deals! 'Everything that ever has been always will be, and everything that ever will be always has been.'
  6. I reported the same issue to NAB over 10 days ago, just absolutely hopeless bunch of morons at the CS help desk. I can receive 2FA codes from Microsoft, Google, Wise Australia, OFX Australia, I even changed my 2FA Thailand number from True too my DTAC phone still fails. I have used my Windows PC for the last 5 years successfully to use NAB internet banking in Thailand, receiving these 2FA codes on my phone. Same iPhone for the 2FA SMS codes for 5 years. I went through all the same BS as other OP about cookies etc. but you can't define stupidity. I have been receiving these 2FA codes from NAB for over 5 years, here. Even had 3 friends in different states of AUS to SMS me successfully. NAB wanted me to chase down TRUE, I told them I don't think so as it happens on DTAC mobile service as well. It could be an underlying issue on the international gateway provider in Thailand, I told them go have your tech people chase down CAT Telecom who own the base internet infrastructure. Maybe with all the scam SMS going on, they have blocked these numbers from AUS. I spent hours over 4 service calls to these morons in AUS CS help desk going over the same explanation and security checks, costing me no doubt quite a few Baht on my mobile. BTW, on the fourth service NAB call, they indicated another customer in BKK reported the same NAB problem. To circumvent as temporary solution, I had to change my 2FA number to my son in Australia, so I could move funds internationally into Thailand. I have worked in IT for 40 years with allied and competitive vendors in cross-platform infrastructure troubleshooting problems. These hopeless IT people responsible for identifying and resolving this SMS problem should all be sacked, an absolute useless bunch of pretenders that have no sense of urgency or how to troubleshoot this problem. I wanted to send them this Wikipedia article https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/SMS Short Message/Messaging Service, as they seem to lack any understanding of SMS gateway providers. But now NAB as cut off the ability to send emails in your account, you have to communicate with that useless Chat BOT. To date, no updated information from NAB on the problem. You have to wonder the level of the incompetence of the tech people in their networks' division.
  7. Ok, enough of this screwing around with the Phuket Mafia and corrupt Phuket government officials. Time to bring in the Big Gun (Joe) in to clean the rotten place up. You want Phuket to have the tourist family friendly image that the TAT tries to continually promote. Well, the only way is to out all these criminals from Phuket! And yes, monitor all their replacements carefully and regularly.
  8. Absolutely right, sync up Soi 55 and Soi 61 Petchkasem road traffic lights and the flow would be so much better, currently the biggest traffic jam in Hua Hin.
  9. PLEASE NOTE: All the relevant documents must be certified in blue ink by the relevant party. The Thais just love blue ink, I often wonder what's the significance of it. My only guess is blue ink defines an original not a copy, but these days with high resolution photocopy machines hard to tell the difference between the original and the copy.
  10. Where's the big PowerPoint presentation with all the smiling BIB's in front of it? I miss the days of charts and the flow of how they caught the lawbreakers.
  11. Hua Hin, the "Royal Coast" God's country!
  12. Get the ‘White accommodation scheme for foreigners’ mob from Phuket to come up to Bangkok and kick the ass of these rogue overcharging taxi driver thieves. Put them to better use chasing Thai Bangkok taxi drivers breaking the law, then wasting time in Phuket chasing white folks. Op's sorry, they are too busy with the taxi mafia in Phuket, NOT!

  14. C'mon man! So you're all saying GOP is wasting money and time on a non-event of strong financial evidence that Joe is the Mr big 10% leader of the Biden family Pay4Play money laundering scheme. You know the thing! 10 Million dollars P4P 20 shell companies 7 Biden family members recipients What short memories you all have, The nearly two-year special counsel investigation of Donald Trump and the fake Russian election interference led by Robert Mueller cost taxpayers nearly $32 million in total............and the outcome a big fat nothing. Get a grip on reality, guys.
  15. I recall the article was about crime, not specifically violent crime. Do you consider the downgrading of criminal violations in Democratic run cities and cashless bail and non-prosecutions of criminal offenses impacts real crime statistics. Do you consider all those illegals crossing the southern border are committing crimes, So if you're presenting crime statistic graphs, how about researching all crime and plotting that to give a true picture of the rise in crime in the USA, especially in 2022 and 2023.
  16. Good reading and a great laugh, never going to happen in Thailand. 5E's of Thai drivers Egocentric Exasperating Enraged Erratic Entitlement
  17. Gone, but not forgotten! The human encyclopedia of Thai Immigration's maze of regulations and laws. RIP, condolences to all his family members.
  18. Yes, I often wonder where all this useless Thai required paper work goes to die a slow death. I went to Immigration to acquire a residency certificate recently with all the correct paperwork (for opening a dam Thai bank account with almost all the same paperwork again, plus some) The IM outside scrutinizer checked all my paper work and said 5 to 10 days if I go upstairs to the main IM office or if you duck around to the back of the building you can get it done now for 500 Baht, I thought sounds good to me. Got it all done 15 mins, then I realized this was not IM, but an agent working for IM. I thought OMG another bunch of my personal information spread all over Thailand and I have no idea where it goes to after this agent packs it up..
