Bangkokhatter

End of last year year i did the renewal and had similar problems. Did the usual application at VFS, provide all documents and walked away with signed tick sheet, expecting a wait of a few weeks. Then i get an email from HMPO saying i did not submit 2 x passport photo's. Explaining to them it would be impossible for me to send in the application at VFS without the photo's was ignored and it took an extra month and more expense to send new ones. It's annoying and no point complaining as both parties would just blame the other for the loss of photo's.

Hope you didn't give him too much, you can't have much left.

Relevance ?

No i live and work on the outskirts of Bangkok for almost as long as you have been here. I don't personally worry about their xenophobia, it doesn't affect me really and i tend to enjoy living here for the most part. That does not however change my view that many Thais are xenephobic, although i do agree it is more present in the tourist areas.

How will identifying nationalities help the situation? For every sad sack British guy making a fool of himself there are probably another ten perfect gentlemen going about their daily business causing no ill will to anyone. The same can be said for any nationality here. Many Thais are generally xenephobic and would not care the actual nationality, to them we are all foreigners. The problem as always is lack of enforcement.

Thanks for your reply. Am still waiting for her to confirm if she has visa exempt or actual visa (she is easily confused 🙂 ) I have told her some boarder crossings may be difficult, generally she should be ok as she is not doing boarder bounces to enable her to return to Thailand, she will be spending time in other countries.

Thank you both for your replies, she plans to travel around the region for about 9 months, mostly doing land border crossings, i have told her to expect some issues at some point during her travels. I must admit i was confused when she told me she had an actual 60 day tourist visa, i thought these were null and void after the visa exempt extension was changed to 60 days.

I have a niece who is currently travelling around the islands down South and needs to extend her 60 day tourist visa in a couple of weeks. Anybody know if it's possible to do this by visiting Langkawi for a couple of days and then returning? Any other suggestions also welcome.

If you paid by credit card or True money, how does the cashier gain from this over charging ?

When was the last time you were actually in Thailand ? Most of your posts regarding Thailand and especially on the subject of their wonderful females are so out of touch. I speak little Thai, short and average looking but have continuously dated (and married) normal Thai ladies for the past 15 years.

He didn't, it's just another made up story to add to your list.

Your problem is nobody takes you seriously. Constantly denying you are a reincarnated Bob, and absolutely nobody on this forum believes you. Of course there is nothing wrong in coming back from the dead, just admit it.
