Talking of baht.... It took a spike up and then back down again in the last couple of days.The US$ rate went down to 29.7, then this morning it has bounced back to 30.14. That is quite substantial. What kicked that off? Later Edit: https://www.nationthailand.com/news/30380025

Is this where you are describing? https://goo.gl/maps/EsGA43dJVjKi4CiH9

I don't know. My personal feelings are that if you forge documents, you open yourself up to be caught doing it, and likely that will affect all Thailand Visa applications. The days of assuming you can live in Thailand while pretending to be a tourist are no more. It might help if you can trim the length of time you stay in Thailand to just below 6 months in a year. Do you have any other circumstances that could assist in Visa application, for example a wife in Thailand? The easiest might be, if you need the 6 month to be continuous, enter with a single Tourist Visa, do a single extension, then travel to a nearby country for another TV. Re-enter over land (exclude Poipet). Visit the Thai Visa forum as suggested to determine which place will issue you another TV, some will only issue one, but I am unsure whether it is one from that Embassy, or only one allowed that year from wherever. If you have no attachments to Thailand, consider some time in perhaps Vietnam. https://forum.thaivisa.com/

Busy NYD morning for ya!

Alright, a classifier.... of the people who could be bothered and were eligible to vote, the majority voted for Brexit You are trying to create a false impression based on people who did not vote. Trying to include those who are ineligible and couldn't be bothered? What you posted sounds to me like an opposition to the true process of democracy... What on earth does a 'majority was gained mean? Anything like a 'majority was won'.....? Reality Please...and as Boris (the PM) said this morning.... “a fantastic year and a remarkable decade for our United Kingdom” Unlike you he does not see the British people as sheep!

Upgrade was a temporary holding area for newer members and if I remember rightly one was automatically moved into it awaiting promotion from Admin. That is why I suspected it may have a few lesser privileges. I hope @frostfire will have an opportunity to take a look.

I was hoping Admin would be able to help... I suspected it was something to do with the group you are in, which currently shows up as 'Upgrade' . Nothing I can do I am afraid. Are you perhaps running an Adblocker?

You a referring to the majority of the British people as sheep. You are stating that a peoples who want independence from being controlled remotely from Brussels as sheep? I don't even understand the OP....the baht is quite strong rather than low. Sterling has improved against the USD since the general election. The baht is also strengthening against the USD. Below 30 this morning. Happy New Year.

I watched Match of the Day and I saw 2 maybe 3 goals denied for offside, using VAR. Well the decision seemed dubious to me. Often it seemed the problem was a player had a finger or a big nose just ahead and that isn't the spirit of offside, the more goals the better in my mind. I like it if it reduces shirt pulling and tactical fouls the ref misses, and my personal hate, diving... but VAR isn't having the impact I had hoped.

That doesn't seem to have affected them.

I suspect when one decides to move the engines on an air-frame that was designed to have them fitted elsewhere the considerations are far reaching. I am not sure it is only about moving the centre of gravity, but where the thrust is based and where it can produce nose lifting forces. That was foreseen, how it was corrected for, was where it failed. This is a thread for the A380, there is already another one for the 737 Max where this is discussed.

Oh great, ones for consideration! Sylhet, Bangladesh and Dhaka, Bangladesh on Biman! Sadly lacking on long haul there, Jet 2 are certainly rolling them out.

I don't think conserving water comes naturally to Thai people. My Mrs uses it like there is an infinite supply. I remember when we first moved in together and she was on the crapper, I would hear it flush 3 times. Why on earth would she do that? I actually reduced that, but telling her made no difference to her automatic actions. I put a small valve on the line so it takes longer to refill.... and hence you cannot do flushes in quick succession. Even when she does washing up or stuff like that, she lets taps run, if I am anywhere near the water pump I can hear how she uses water as it is kicking in and out for long spells. House cleaning day she uses more than Sabai Land and Sabai Dee put together... if I went by the lake that day surely I could see the level going down. Pattaya City Hall fails again in my eyes if the place is subjected to cuts, some small businesses will be effected, all the MPs.... imagine even a restaurant if you can't flush it down, quite unpleasant. I bet big plastic buckets are being filled a plenty. My neighbours have automatic sprinklers, pools that have reserve tanks that top-up automatically with a ball cock... services that back wash so water is thrown away. I have collected rain water off the roofs but can only hold maybe 4m3. Gets used for some plants, but that will be gone soon, never mind, the Mrs will get the hose pipe out.

United lost it, as did Spurs....looking forward to Mourinho's comments on that.

.... if the Bangkok figures are taken from TAT numbers, well I can only say they have been cynically regarded of late. But there are some very apparent correct determinations.

This was taken Sunday around midday and is from the new TT Exchange located in Big-CX. I suspect it will seriously impact the two bank based exchanges on either side of the main entrance.

Die Another Day.

I don't wish to contest these numbers, but boy, you could get some contradiction from many. But all they see is less. Less westerners... the numbers all seem to be about more Chinese. What is the source of all this data? Surely not simply Mastercard use? Not good for the environmentalists.
