If you are renting your accommodation, apologize to your landlord and say you'll have to move because of Immigration's requirements. This might make him change his mind. If he still won't help you and you can't talk to his wife (women are more sensible than men in financial matters generally), you will have to decide: shall I move accommodation or leave the country? The answer is obvious.

Thank you for this. I didn't think it would be so cheap.

This is my opinion of travel insurance companies. The part of their policies to worry about are the bits written in infinitesimally small print or in invisible ink. When you make a claim, they'll say: "Didn't you use an iron to read the invisible clauses that state that all claims are invalid? ... That's your fault!"

There might have been a legitimate reason for submitting the homework late, eg. family problems. Punish the teacher by deducting salary and by charging the hospital bills to him, if he can't be fired.

"The world is in travail, and its agitation waxeth day by day. Its face is turned towards waywardness and unbelief. Such shall be its plight, that to disclose it now would not be meet and seemly. Its perversity will long continue. And when the appointed hour is come, there shall suddenly appear that which shall cause the limbs of mankind to quake. Then, and only then, will the Divine Standard be unfurled, and the Nightingale of Paradise warble its melody." (Baha'u'llah, Gleanings from the Writings of Baha'u'llah, p. 118) Something terrible is coming down the pipeline. I think we'll see what it is before 2030.

Which country will be building the railway system? ... China, no doubt. The home of "Tofu Dreg" construction. Which country's engineers built the building in Bangkok that collapsed? ... China. Good luck, travellers!

I have seen on the Thai News over the years I've been here how cheap it is to do that. Hitmen caught say they did it for as little as 5,000 Baht, though 10,000 to 20,000 Baht is more common.

I can understand why hungry people steal. I can understand why drug addicts steal. But I can't understand why wealthy people (who run criminal gangs) steal. To amass more money than they could spend in their lifetime, more cars, more houses, more jewellry, more gold, etc.? When they die and have their Life Review, they will see everything they did, and hear the thoughts and feel the feelings of sorrow, pain, anger, etc. of their victims. People who have a Near-Death Experience talk about the awful regret and sadness they feel when they have a Life Review, and this makes them change their behaviour when they return to their body.

Don't give up. You'll get a new passport in the end. Just keep trying. Eventually, you'll find someone in the HMPO who says: "We are being so stupid! Just give him a new passport!" If I was in your situation, I'd tell them how the UK was different during WW2 and I'd even say to the JobsWorth officials that I had tried seances with the midwife and your adopted parents, but they said that they are unable to give a written statement any longer. (I can't stand brainless civil servants. They might have an Oxford degree, but they lost their common sense years ago.)

To be quite honest, change your bank to Kasikorn or SCB before you leave. Those are modern banks. Krungthai and Krungsri are old-style banks. They probably even use manual typewriters still. I've used SCB for many years. Their online app is very good.

My wife and I have talked about the case. If I found it, I'd tell the Police for sure or else I might be accused of theft ... BUT I don't trust the Police. In this case, the Police are clearly, in my opinion, doing their best to prove that the money isn't the lawyer's. According to the Law, after one year, without any claim filed, the law allow you to claim it as your own provided you've fully complied with the initial procedures. (ChatGPT explains the law involved.)

I feel your frustration. If the above suggestions fail, then try a national newspaper. If that fails, sit outside the UK Parliament and tell the media about what your complaint is about.

If they want to fight they should go to the Meatgrinder in Ukraine. I see that Putin will need more soldiers to invade his new target, Moldova, which will start WW3.

Here is an example of someone so stupid that hopefully he does not spread his DNA to anyone else. He deserves to be jailed and then blacklisted. In my 41 years here, I have never experienced corruption in the Immigration Department. Even if it exists, I wouldn't go on social media and make the kind of statement that this idiot has done.

It looks like he's suffering from malnutrition.

I just want to comment on the sentence: "There are growing concerns about the man's mental health, as noted by locals witnessing unusual behaviour such as him pouring water over himself." I must be off my rocker then. Because of the heat, when I'm outside in the garden, I often pour water over myself to cool down. How am I going to tell my 26 cats that a madman is looking after them? ... Oh no! I feel another urge coming on to pour water over myself .....

The Dems will probably start to burn down police stations again to get him released.

Bear in mind that the Democrat-Marxists go Judge-shopping to find a district court judge who will block the deportations. That's the problem. The US justice system is controlled too much by the Far Left Marxists and Communists.

This isn't the right Forum to say this because I doubt that people here believe what divinely revealed religions say. But here is one of the many descriptions from Baha'u'llah in the 19th century. It's less detailed: "The world is in travail, and its agitation waxeth day by day. Its face is turned towards waywardness and unbelief. Such shall be its plight, that to disclose it now would not be meet and seemly. Its perversity will long continue. And when the appointed hour is come, there shall suddenly appear that which shall cause the limbs of mankind to quake. Then, and only then, will the Divine Standard be unfurled, and the Nightingale of Paradise warble its melody." The Lesser Peace will come about, as a result, and the Greater Peace in future centuries. In short, a global calamity is coming as foretold in many sources. City life will be difficult then.

She would still have been caught in Manchester because that airport uses drug-sniffing dogs. I've watched a video about the airport.

I feel sorry for the woman for 2 reasons. 1) She is so ignorant about the use of drug-sniffing dogs on the conveyor belts where luggage arrives. 2) She is so ignorant about the harm that all those chemicals in her hair and on her face do to her health. Ignorance is not bliss. If she goes to jail, prison food will enable her body to flush out most chemicals over time.

Thai governments have weird ideas at times. Keep things simple, and people will come to Thailand to retire. Creating financial obstacles will soon be a Lose-Lose. The current retirement visa rules are fine. I wouldn't keep 800,000 Baht in a low-interest bank account for 12 months a year, though. Some posters here believe that many retirees using the current rules are riff-raff and undesirables. Try looking at them as human beings, like you, who are simply trying to enjoy their final years in this world as best they can. Rich retirees are not better human beings because they have a lot of money.

Putin wants Ukraine. Full stop. He won't stop the war.

Don't worry Democrat-Marxists. There are plenty of "Ma bwain herts wen I fink!" supporters for 2026 and 2028. Fetterman should leave the party.

There are so many stupid people around nowadays. They seem to be multiplying.
