The immigration offices don't like to talk to each other. Samut Prakan had a fit when my work place reported me living in Bangkok once and I tried reporting in SP. Tried taking my passport.

How long have you lived here Armstrong?

How long have you lived here Armstrong?

Competing Thai mafia rarely do.

:whoosh:

[armstrong]

Must be one of those US of A jokes.

[cyrille]

^^Don't see how that's a 'whoosh'.

Different ios in different provinces have their ways, and are generally disinterested in the ways of another province.

Or maybe you know better.

[DrWilly]

Of course you don’t see. But that’s ok, I’ve come to expect your general lack of understanding about life.

Was my point to Armstrong. If you have lived here for any reasonable length of time one would know this. Immigration offices are totally disconnected from one another hence why some go through hell at some IOs and others breeze in and out without an issue.

Carry on......

You made a total arse of yourself, in the midst of an exchange between two adults.

[DrWilly]

Oh Jesus, you wanna dig deeper?

jppr’s already explained it above.

I did know it. That's why I said it.

[Salsa dancer]

Fuck off, Witless Willy.

So both of you missed armstrong's point, then.

You dense twat.

Perhaps you could explain how this post...

Is substantially different from...

Immigration offices are totally disconnected from each other.

Thicko.

[DrWilly]

Fuck off, Witless Willy.

Are you just going to stalk me around the board dropping these witty one liners all day?

A nice bowl of porridge would probably cheer him up.

Knowing his luck he’d have no salt and it would be served cold.

I bought a new weather station for the house. Good for inside and outside temperature and humidity, but no pressure reading. Anyway, today it is 27.5C 94% humidity and it is predicting snow!

[Simon43]

planefinder.net sent me a replacement GPS patch antenna for their aircraft data unit that I host for them at my location - the old antenna stopped working.

Anyway, unfortunately they wrote the word 'antenna' on the description of goods. This is like a red rag to a bull as far as Thai customs are concerned and they seized the package and told me that I needed an import permit to import this $10 GPS antenna. I sent them a copy of my ham radio licence, but they (correctly) said that this was a 'usage' licence, not an import licence.

I've had this bollox before from Thai customs over antennas. Over the past 15 years they have seized various bits of wire and aluminium tubing that companies sent to me. So I knew exactly what their reply to me would be when I told them that since they wouldn't allow me to import the GPS antenna, then they should return it to the sender.

"Sorry, you need an export licence to send it back to the sender" !!!! Even though it was still in the Thai customs bond warehouse, they demand an export licence and will destroy the item (that means they take it home to use....)

Note that this is not about paying some import/customs tax - the customs department simply will not allow any item to enter the country if it is described as an antenna UNLESS it comes from our friends in China (eg via lazada, aliexpress etc).

Ho hum, my sympathy to planefinder.net for trying. I will order a GPS antenna from China.....

[cyrille]

That's definitely where I'd be getting my antennae from.

Getting sneaky surveillance shit from somewhere other than China seems perverse.

It may well be something those younger BiB have never previously witnessed.
