Bye to TM6

I am surprised there is only one warehouse!

I wonder why it is that Thailand has some sort of perverted fascination with forms. Visiting Immigration at Chaengwattana I am always staggered at the piles and piles of forms stacked on the floor by each officer's desk. How many warehouses do these require for storage, I wonder? At the bank, for many transactions I have had to get my passport photocopied and signed many dozens of times! Having opened the account more than 10 years ago, why is my bankbook not sufficient? They have all my passport details on the computer. Why not the photo page of the passport as well?

Maybe because Asia has so many fiddles, bribes or downright stealing they have had to invent “safeguarding” systems.
