Bravo Bravo! A pure realise who understand how things really work in the real world of Thailand, especially with big joke I hope his fans wake up and read your remarks! In the end the joke are on them.

looks like the Chinese Triads care for their mistresses?

Not sure about that home outside a Big Apple Store, two private security inside two regular SFPD, outside in uniform police car parked in front too.

Yes this is what I saw but although published by Pattaya City Expat it is an account by one poster writing their experience same as what I did. It can't be confirmed by Immigration officials.

JOMTIEN ONLY! I thought I share my experience! I wasn't able to find a way to make an online appointment for my Retirement Extension so as I noted earlier for personal reason I decided to do what I've done for over 10 years and get there early this time due to the reports of packed crowds daily even earlier that I normally at 7am for the doors to open at 8:30 AM. I arrived on Friday 20th, at 6:03 AM, the parking lot was pitch black, the parking gate was shut but not locked. Regardless I slipped it open a bite and walk in and sat in the dark. After about 20 minutes I had second thoughts didn't want any confrontation or to scare anyone I decided to walked back out and stand at the opening of the gate to be first. A few minutes later another couple came as it got lighter another came that is when I said O.K. walk back in this time top of the ramp to the glass door I was the first. As many know facing the building there is a area to the right for 90 days, further up front to the right is a larger seating area with a monitor in the front. I've not read anything as to the purpose of this area? By 7AM, there were about 15 behind leading down the ramp to the bottom, by 8AM the line had snaked around 4 rows leading out into the Soi, the area mentions near the monitor people were now standing around. Excuse the description nothing personal to their lifestyle but a younger LB kid comes out all hyper setting up the monitor while doing so he is being pester with questions? he gets a bit rude and impatience telling them " take a seat and wait for your Q I'm busy meantime he walks quickly in and out of the building. By now it is around 8:20am crowd growing all of a sudden a girl in the back calls out in a loud speaker " Retirement Visa come here to the tent area " now this is a first for me I've been here since 6AM first in line. Now the LB is handling what looks to be Q numbers to those in the tent area, then he leads them inside which was around 15, I try to gain his attention to ask what is going on he just wave me off telling me to wait. By now I'm thinking <deleted> when I do get let inside what are they going to tell me go back outside? The guy behind me explain that area are for those who came yesterday but didn't get called due to closing time to return back tomorrow to this area and exchange for update numbers? I'm thinking to myself girl calls out " Extensions " how many were those given new Q going to be in front of me doing my yearly extension? Finally, door opens present my papers given number A8002, I walk over to window 8, there is one guy in front of me I assumed he was from the tent area didn't noticed him. Stupid me I should have asked if I did I would know the answer now! By 8:45AM, I was called, the kid recognized me from years pass I give him his due Wai ran through my papers again all in ordered 10 minutes passed paid given a number to pick up Monday 23rd at 2pm. For general, last year NO, but this year I was given a paper with the list of items I would need to return on the stamped date April 19th, verify bank book 800 K balance. I decided today to go at 1pm, like always the doors weren't open yet but the parking lot was packed the tent area packed I walked up to the front waiting to show my pick up passport number. Meantime the LB is running around rudely taking people stuff, the guard in his vest marked volunteer is yelling and telling people to get back and wait. Those trying to open the door from outside got a tongue full. I slowly made my way up to the door waited for it to open and show him my number in I went. There was no one inside but me it seems I walked over to counter 8, it seems everyone was still at lunch then the kid from yesterday saw me and got my passport. I get my TM8 in ordered all filled out with the necessary docks ahead as soon as I got my passport with my extension had it xerox sign attached to my package to the front counter get a number. No way even without the crowds going outside and get in line again. LB, who was running around moments earlier now manning the counter ran through my papers handed me a number 2A027, walked over and sat down near window 2, within a minute my number was called the guy this year new had the face and attitude he hated the job or foreigners. I gave him his due Wai, and handed him my docs he ran through the docs grab my 1000 baht, wrote on my Q slip 40 mins. No where to go and hot outside I took a seat I waited yesterday 2.5 hours what is another 40 minutes after 5 minutes another guy waved at me to come over ask for my Q and handed me my passport told me I was done. What I noticed this year many of the regular assigned officials are gone, the first being the gay guy with the hairpiece at the service counter, the lady and guy who manned the 90 day two windows, at Window two lady is gone replaced with young guy who seem to hate the world. I read a report that the tent area mention earlier where the girl made an announcement is a new procedure where you Q up for your extension like one does for their 90 days you no longer have to wait in line that snakes and wrap around towards the ramp door. Couldn't confirm! The LB just kept saying wait and the girl who made the announcement couldn't understand what she was saying. So if someone actually knows it would be of great help for those hereafter because for whatever reason the huge crowds don't seem to be for Extensions or Re-Entry stamps? Another year! ????

Guess when you are off dirty they not carry a plastic bag. Would have been less work more affective. ????

Store! Customer Service? There is one upstairs Kiosk D-Tac soon to merge with True of Big C extra, Opposite the coffee cafe, across from the Big C, food entrance, across from the Siam Commercial Bank, across from the AIS office, across from True.

For a country this size and population if they had a clue to the outside world which they want to compare themselves based on the NUMBERS they are throwing out basically BRAGGING to how great of a job they are doing should actually be ASHAME of themselves.

I understand your reply. But it also works both ways BKK doesn't follow Jomtien policies and procedures. Which is the reason we are constantly talking about the procedures and policies and responses asking location. There are 72 provinces and how many immigration offices each have their own hair up their butts rules and as noted then every officiers. Thus the confusions with so many things ????

As I noted I got a new passport yesterday I requested a letter with new passport from my branch Shown for the first time. Nothing was asked of me of old nor any question relating to old to verify anything! Just show you how inconsistent procedure are!

This question can't be answered! As you can see from the replies it is as people note " beauty is in the eyes of the beholder " Questions like, where can I find best ST/LT, the youngest girls, girls with dark or white skin, today I got a PM, guy was into big tits wanted to know a specific location where to find them and they got to be real. I suggested Soi 6/1 ????

My experience was at Jomtien. People will do what they do reason I do everything myself so I can continue to learn and be disruptive to others????

Lacking clear info, Based on posting Did he not obtain letter from Embassy to have stamps transfer? Bank passbook isn't tied to the Passport number old or new. I just Thursday took my new passport to my Bangkok branch with my old passbook and ask for a letter. This is a bank not immigration I seriously doubt anyone knows what the stamps even mean. Years ago I was renewing my Thai license 3rd time, I went down immigration and got the residential certificate at the DLT, clerk ask me to run across the road and copy a page with a stamp. I ask her in Thai why and what you need this stamp purpose to confirm what that is immigration job reason of the residential certification. I politely as to speak to so and so, all of a sudden they request was withdrawn.

Smells like Jomtien! I got a new passport end of last year had the stamps all transfer without ever being ask for bank book. Same ten years ago.

Until ten years ago I never had a clue Chinese New Year was so popular here in Thailand. Reason it isn't Thai N. Y. I always left for S. F. a day before it was celebrated quietly compared to here. I think mainly the generations today are not taught culture and tradition is dying. Home walking through Chinatown rarely can you buy a New Year T-Shirt if you do no choice I have family ordering from me to bring them back but you can get 6 Tee for 20 bucks of S. F. I just hope the popularity doesn't end up throwing water like Songkran????

True no one country has seriously even try to hold them accountable I read over 20 trillion they have cost? If the world hasn't learn from this that China has made us powerless economically. We are basically their bitch that includes Thailand near the top. To remain in power their protest and the world joining in to criticize Xi, he gave the world this time what they wished. Run Forest run! He can't be blame this time. ????????

With the situation in China tours coming majority factory workers I see lots of asylum seekers if the get here? ????

Yes that understood civil but was there any criminal charges prior or after to the act. Money was order to be repaid but the act is criminal the question did they just let it go?

Four, let get the owner in a cage with some other pits who don't bite? When they say pay? 500 baht? Shoot them all in the head and let's have a BBQ,

At Chon Buri, Pattaya, it was a few years back I did both as you noted, someone said I needed two residential certificates. I think it must have a photo like Passport someone here told to just make a photo copy I took a step better and paid the 30-40 baht for a color xerox surprising it was better than the original. I submitted it had no problem. I don't remember the list included a physical?

TikTok, isn't that Chinese a spy agency? How he made the money at his age is an non issue. Being rich doesn't mean all broken as in cells are rich too. Looks like what happen to him Thai girl friend is what happens to so many that get here forget how to use their brains. Lots not right although mentioned a fancy showroom sure could fool a person not a sand lot a whole different story! Like motorbike lots of independent dealers buy bikes then sell them for a bit higher charging a higher interest on finance. I'd this whatvitcead even then the warranty as noted is in affect. Where he purchased did they have a service area or told nearest authorize Porsche where warranty would be honored. If used then the mileage or signs of being used. Big red flag is when it broke down who did he call that told him let it cool down. It was picked up and fix then broke down again who or whom shop that did the work. Now the registration book not the year they claims it to be but he like the model and what it offers? Was this car purchased on the grey market cause nice showroom offered to buy it back at 12 million on payday it now is 1.5 minus some crazy 9 million plus tax? My view is I can see why he is connected to TicTok maybe he should hook up with TingTong. On the surface his Thai Lawyer?? Raised flags too? I was told by a big lawyer in Thailand when you got resources like money forget the courts especially if you aren't Thai. Do what I would do in situation like this I took that advice results are much quicker and satisfying LOL Get some Toyota!

Louie Dewey you are always on top happening again you miss the boat again! You OK?

Louie Dewey you are always on top happening again you miss the boat again! You OK?

Based on Thailand governing system segregation like everything in regards to DLT and police will fail. As noted in this story key words " eventually " no way to check by the time they do it is too late. Outside of BKK what are the chances of getting stop and if you do see any manner how they will check. Can't enforce what you don't know. Overall, replace is the only answer but I guess more money in a band-aid approach.

As noted it is happening way before the Chinese came. All this talk about immigration visa money corruption sure the little stuff adds bit it is nothing when a guy at the top say do this for me. When you talk about Grey businesses all those bars and gogos I suspect aren't all in foreign name. Put them all together it doesn't make a dent as to what the triads have been doing if you forget just their little investigation they have reach out to 32 plus provinces. You can dig into the Bang Na area outside Bangkok the growth of all the hotels and Condo developements where all that money was coming from you think Taiwan since there is a huge populations you think they aren't part of the triad link. While Visa and bars bring in millions we are talking trillions the changes in directly with pot, gambling, during covid the invite to people spending 40-50 million investment guess what that was all about. Believe what people want BJ (LOL) is nothing but a PR he had been already officially remove from this case just helping as they say. Even in Thailand it well be thrown out of court majority of seizure are done out of speculation " share holder " once they see those names at the top and who it is link too the door will slowly close like everything. The only reason this is news is because Former Massage King and MP snitch play second fiddle to the Chinese Triads he had to wait for his table at his favorite bar LOL, the question is it too late to turn it around? ????
