Pattaya Immigration Experience - 13 May 2024 - For Annual Extension
A 12-month statement has to be ordered from their HQ in advance, takes 5-7 days. Branches can only print statements up to 6 months. Almost all branches can order the statement, produce statements, and issue the letters. -

Photo radar?
Yeah, in this respect it's the same as in Europe, you receive a pic of you driving, with a description of the location and speed. -

Photo radar?
It was always my understanding (and confirmed by several Thais) that these radars are often either fake or not working. I know I sped past them on numerous occasions and never received any fines, however my brother-in-law once received one for 500 baht (Bangkok area). -

News Forum - Thailand’s transgender rights echoed by Pheu Thai Party
Again with the same sex unions. This idea used to be a joke in the West, until later than year 2000. This sort of thing is very culture bound, and globalizing it ignores that Thai people have their own attitudes towards homosexuality. For a bit of context, although Buddhism is not uncritical of homosexuality, this criticism always comes in a broader context of anti-lust. And the societies of Southeast Asia, never were as hostile to homosexual acts, as were Europeans. So it takes the piss, when someone says, that indigenous Thai ideas and values on the subject must be replaced by Western ones. People might not think of this as racism and ethno-masochism, but it is. -
