sorry maybe this question was request in the past but I can't find any answer.

Q: how long is valid an attestation of your income issued by your embassy to it use to obtain a new retire visa in immigration? I mean how many day I have since date of attestation. Thanks of reply.

The included traffic sign stand in a Soi before enter to the Phetchkasem Road.

Sorry for simple and bad question but I don't find this sign and the "real meaning" by google. Some people mean it mean forbidden to turn right but for this I know the black flash in a round plate with red border.

In the same time I like warn Farangs which come close to any Van-Driver which serve to Bangkok Victory monument. It is know and often seen, those driver seldom respect and traffic law and drive very risky even full of (mostly foreign) passenger.

It happen 3 days, I come our from a soi, no car from right side visible on minimum 300 meters. I had to stop my car in the middle if Phetchakasem because I was cut by an other driver turn right into the soi. May car stand minimum 10 seconds as a Van driver from known companies arrive with overspeed close 80 km/h. The driver dream or use mobeli phone and clatch in to my standing car (see pictures). A police officer maintain I am 100% guitly because I come from a Soi to the Phetchkasem and that I would like turn right ..... (absolut lie). My car is damaged rear side right and the van front side right. I if I would stay more 90° North (right turn) Van shall be damaged at right side, but my car stand near 120° left (left turn). I saw the Van from 200 meter without slow down his speed while my car stand absolutly still !!!

The police want force me to sign the report without give me a copy first to let translate in correct English (the English of tourist police anbd tendency FARANG is always guilty was obvious).

With this I like also warn again all Foreigner which drive any vehicle in Thailand !!! N.B. A serious carshop expect my repair part of 8000 THB and the Van driver claim 60'000 THB ???

P.S. sorry for bad English. If I am in the wrong forum pls move me.

It concern once more the "human right" of free travel. It seem as I read in the WEB of Embassy of the Philippines in Bangkok, that Thailand is disciminated. The Philippines do not let travel out Filipinas even holding a "verified and signed" document as "Affidavit of sponsor" by the Embassy of Philippines in BKK.

I read carefuly this reglementation because last year happen an Immigration officer stop my girl friend to travel to Thailand. Even after I made a "Affidavit of invitation" signed by the Embassy of Philippines in BKK, a new Immigration Officer in Manila asked for a 5000 PHP bribe to let her go. Once loose a flight ticket is enough, only after I declered fly to Manila to accompagnish my girlfriend the Immigration Officer let her go.

In my opinion this is a bad step against Thailand,  towns in Thailand aren't more dangerous then other countries, even I like say eg. in Bangkok a woman can feel her more safen then in Manila or other big towns in the Philippines where the crime permanent increase.

So be careful invite a Filipina as friend or epouse, easy you loose the investment of a flight ticket or even more !!! The Affidavit of Invitation for which you pay 1250 THB is not more of value then a toilet paper !!!

This reglementation have the ONLY effect, it support the corrupt Immigration Officers of the Philippines !!!

Beside the Philippine Authority should take more care of Filipinas which travel to UAE (United Arabic Emirates) and other countries where abuse is frequent and thankful to Thailand which give many Filipinas excellent jobs as teacher etc.
