Excuse my late reply but i haven't seen the guy for a couple of days.

He actually went through the airport, paid his 20k fine and returned the same day in thailand on a 30day on arrival stamp.

According to him the whole immigration process to pay the fine took a couple of minutes, no questions asked.

So much for your smart ass comments..

Thanks for your input.

What about paying the overstay fine at the immigration office in chang wattana?

Would that make things easier?

Hi,

my buddy was pretty broke the last couple of month and couldn't afford a visa run.

Now he got like 25,000 baht left and wants to clear up his overstay as soon as possible.

Can he just take one of those visa run buses ( http://www.jackgolf.com/en/visa_run/ ) to the poipet border, pay 20k fine and get a 15 day entry stamp?

Dont fall in love.

Dont marry.

Its starts in the bedroom and ends in the courtroom..

Hi,

Saw it advertised a couple of weeks ago but im not sure if the shop is open or opening soon.

Thanks in advance

Nius is a great place for some wine and jazz...

No problems with the dish in bangkok here. Maybe call them to figure out whats going on..

Where to get them?

Hi,

i got my 8th tonsilitis this year. Never had any problems with my tonsils until the rainy season started. So for now its like every 2-3 weeks and i have to take anti-biotics to get rid of it.

Did anyone got their tonsils removed in bangkok? Whats the procedure like?

Should i just wait until the rainy season is over and hope for the better?

I read a lot of downsides regarding the tonsil removement. Easy to get infects etc..

Hope to get some advice.

Just cleared 5 months overstay.........i did it intentionally and will continue to do as i see fit! it all a load of balls!

Some more details please.

Did you fly out of the country and came back the same day, or did you go the immigration in changwatana and cleared it there?

More info would be useful..

I flew out of sooyouwannaboomboom( im sure thats is the wrong spelling-ooops) airport at 11.30pm last night, so i cleared immigration around 10pm. A female immigration office who showed me to the overstay desk grinned and said "so you like thailand" in a pleasant manner. The officer who then proceeded to fill out the papaer work was nice and polite, i asked him whats the most overstay he has seen today, he replied "5 years" with chuckle. I also asked about if people have been arrested or detained, he said no! I enquired further, and it seems if you cant pay then they sometimes hold you untill you can, but mostly incases where the fine is alot of money 20k plus! I havent returned to bangkok as will be staying in another asian country for a while.

I've got the need to not believe what you are saying directly , perhaps you could show us a picture of your overstay stamp , also of curiosity what the stamp in your passport looks like , and to keep this thread on a more serious note and not only hearsaying .

thank you very much .

I dont think thats a hearsaying - its been a dozen people that cleared up there overstay the last few days and none of them got in trouble.

So anyone heard of any arrests of foreigners that showed up with 20k and a ticket at the airport?

Anyone blacklisted...?

Chulachol in Siam Discovery..

Just a heads up..

My buddy was on 7 month overstay and left to KL yesterday. Paid his 20k baht fine at the airport immigration and 10 mins later he was off to catch his flight.

He returned back to thailand the same evening on a 30day on arrival visa stamp..

So much for jail time..

Hi,

i just read the news and my buddy is on 7 month overstay.

He entered the country from germany on a 30day visa on arrival stamp and is still in the country now.

He plans to leave to Kuala Lumpur within the next few days, pay 20,000 baht at the airport and return back into the kingdom the same day.

The way i understand the new rule is, that you either pay the fne or go to jail, correct?

Can someone englight us here please..

In Soviet Russia, the Massage Lady tips you!

Just kidding.. some thai people told me to tip them decent, or its some lose face kind of thing.

In some upscale places in Ratchada your expected to tip 1,000 where the initial massage price is between 3 and 5,000 baht..

So your not tipping to less in my opinion..

I tend to buy mine designer handbags and its far more stupid then buying gold...but atleast it looks better imho..

Jealous much..?

Haven't heard that one before..

About Thai male attitudes towards prostitution...My random opinion ~ I doubt many young men would go; huge loss of face & it is far easier for them (more so than say their farang equiv) to pick up a girl through normal channels. I imagine the Thai clientele at the brothels would consist of policeman and single men aged over 40 with alcholism issues.

Sounds like the type of guy that drives a bmw, porsche or ferrari to visit one of those upscale joints..

All the the high end MP's, Gentlemen and Member Clubs are full of young (rich) asian men..

Im staying right next to you at the Met and i usually go to Tops on Nang Linchi.. you have a small Villa Market on Silom.. lots of 711 in Soi Suan Pluh.. plenty of choice

From the living room..

TrueVision offers HBO, BBC, ESPN and much more..

Internet.. True or TOT.. 16mbit available depending on your area.

Where can i get Fleischkaese and Broetchen in Bangkok?

Not talking about those tiny pre-packed slices of Fleischkaese.. looking for the real deal.

Thanks in advance..
