Happens more often than you might think....you obviously haven't been to immigration detention recently have you?

@Chatla *******

Ban is mandatory if you're caught by police on overstay

Pink ID card means that you won't need a certificate of residence

@Terry *******

It's true that not all LPG systems are the same quality, and it's also true that not all are properly (i.e. professionally) installed and/or maintained. I went for the best quality brand, had it installed by a specialised garage, and have had it regularly serviced. The point was about people making generalised comments rubbishing LPG as if it was universally problematic, or dangerous. Every taxi in BKK now has or seems to have LPG and how often do you read about them blowing up? It's also worth noting that the government now require an annual inspection, which is a change from the previous system which required only 5 yearly inspections.

@John ******

7 years now with LPG conversion from Energy Reform, regularly serviced, and no problems. Some people just spout garbage without having a clue about the facts

I don't understand your point. You clearly don't know about international conventions on marriages. If a marriage is accepted by convention, the country is irrelevant. You're confusing different issues. I'm not saying what is lawful or accepted within Thailand necessarily. I'm making a point about different forms of marriage being accepted generally

@Benjamin *****

Doesn't necessarily need to be an Islamic country. Just needs to be accepted as a valid form of marriage

Generally, though, it's not accepted as a matter of course, for obvious reasons
