Criminal background checks

My above comment was exaggerated for dramatic effect.

I somehow missed this thread when it was opened, and after reading all of it now I wish I had missed it again.

For those with too much time on their hands:
Will Lao embassy (?) or consulate (?) in Khon Kaen issue a visa for a person who is on overstay in Thailand?
Is there any animal quarantine for taking dogs from Thailand to Lao?

I have lived in KK for going on 10 years. YES - the Laos embassy here issues a visa to their country even if the person is on overstay status. While I never have, and never will, overstay my visa, many others I know have. It is quite common to get a visa at the Laos consulate here (it is a very friendly place actually) and then head off to Laos. So - you are wrong on that account. In addition - many people take their pets across the border. In facts, loads of Australians and Europeans work in Laos. They regularly go back and forth with their family and pets in tow - no quarantine. That is beside the point, however, because I wonder why you care? Why are trying to nit pick at everything that Matt is doing? He has lived here in KK for years. I personally know him, and so do many other people in the community - straight and gay. What is your beef with him? Have you met him? Get a life -

This appears to be unsolicited and unimpeachable evidence that Matt exists, no matter how much his tales beggar belief. Just have to accept the fact that he is on his own, quite idiosyncratic path in life.

I'm sure you are wrong. Smiles continually tells us that Matt makes his posts up and when has Smiles ever been wrong?

Unsolicited and unimpeachable is strong wording, bobsaigon. I have not seen any evidence that matt is who he claims. kkjason did say he met matt but that is the first time I ever read that.
My evidence says otherwise. Probably will never know.

Look - the guy lives - or lived I guess now - right behind the major 9 story temple in town. It is on the town lake where most people go to walk and exercise at night, and have a few drinks. Matt has been living there for years. Many of us have had drinks with him - yes - in person! Admittedly, he is a bit of his own fellow and not my cup of tea, but we all (here in KK) know him. He is a regular poster on our city forum, and many residents have helped him out personally since he lost his vision. What else do you need to know? Again - you all have spent much of your time the past year bashing the guy - perhaps you have nothing better to do? What is your 'evidence' that he does not exist? That sounds like stuff of science fiction since you would have to laser him and eliminate his soul to make that claim. The guy lives and breathes - why can't you all just accept that and move on? I rarely even post when he is involved because it is the stuff of soap operas, yet here you all are now creating 19 pages on this one topic alone. Can you give it a rest already?

What evidence is there that any of us exist?
I'm just a figment of my own imagination and a legend in my own lunchtime!

They don't really care, that should not be their problem really. KK has a consulate, not an embassy. And you would be surprised at how many laissez passez they issue. half of the Lao in Thailand suddenly loose their passports

[scottish-guy]

Hey kkjason don't be so rude - if people here got a life the forum would shut

[scottish-guy]

Well let's just hope their bowels aren't as "loose" as their passports

[justaguy]

Oh he lives near the lake, been there quite a few times. In any case, matt seems to be silent. Now I know Lao mobile internet is not the most reliable and fast on this planet, but his silence makes me a tiny bit worried.
