Football and American Football
Saturday went to Police Cup in Sawang Daen Din for another game in the 'Police Cup.' The 4 -2 win insured the next game on Sunday, October 28. This should be close to the Semi Finals.

Saturday สกลนคร Sakon Nakhon
For the past few days I've been watching a lot of television. Recently added ADIPTV to my TV streams listing. Until now I had only known of USTV NOW for US television, which is mostly east coast. The ADIPTV service has some west coast channels, a three hour difference.

Statement pending?
No comment to date from the US Embassy in regards to British Embassy remarks that they will soon also announce the discontinuance of the income letter. At the moment there is no US Ambassador to Thailand
One Thai official appears to have stated that the Thai Bank statement was always an alternative to the Embassy certification. For many years I was required to submit the certification and Thai Bank statements together, never as an alternative. It was only in the last two years that the certification was sufficient without bank statements.
My fifteenth yearly visa extension ends in four months and I hope immigration officials come up with a better solution than to have $25,000 in a Thai bank at least three months before the application. Even though I have more that the required monthly income, if the paperwork gets more obnoxious , I'll travel lightly.

The Great Expat Exodus
Thaiger link
Nothing yet from US embassy, but bets are on that it will happen soon.Personally I'd always considered the letter a bit of a ripoff, when a bank book with a year's worth of deposits should suffice.
The certified letter was a good cover for people who did not have the required money and lied under oath.
Thai immigration will have to come up with alternate procedures to prove income. Many expats, including myself, have the monthly income above the requirement, but are unable or unwilling to deposit yearly amounts into a Thai bank.
From my own experience of transferring yearly amounts, too many people want to borrow, not always return the loan.
