Following up from another reply. I always check my 'junk' mail folder and delete/block recipients. so that doesn't seem to be the answer.

Sorry Swiss 1960. I thank you for your reply but I do not follow/understand what you are saying (I did say I was not technically minded)

I have been using Hotmail as an email address for 20 plus years. Now I have come up with a problem. I can send emails and some recipients will receive them whether on the same email server, then I have others who have received mail from me and replied but i do not receive their mail. Occasionally Someone will get my email and I will get a response. Cannot seem to find an answer on the internet though not the technically gifted so have no idea what to do. Don't want to change my email address as so many people have it and not sure if another email address will give me the same problem. Help appreciated.

There are two police orders that amended the existing police orders.

There is one that was issued in December for the new income option and another one for the 800k baht in the bank option that was issued in January and went into effect on March first.

Download this one for the money in the bank option. Police Order 35/2562 Changing 327/2557 Clause 2.22 

 

Thank you Ubonjoe for a helpful response. Cleared things up quite nicely so can breath easier. A pity that this forum is hijacked with so many just being sarcastic or having a go at each other, that is why I hardly use the forum now.

AGAIN nothing has really changed. Its mostly made up drama over a lot of nothing. Put 800,000 in a Thai bank account and leave it there. End of problems.

Are you sure about this. The new Police Order says nothing about money in the bank as it did before. So as it is not there one would think this way of extending your visa has gone. The new 'rules' of showing monthly income into Thai bank is ridiculous. English banks will not transfer monthly income to your Thai Bank and even if they did would not say if from a pension or say rent from property in the UK. Plus this would be quite costly with bank charges. It is hard enough trying to get any UK letter delivered to your home in Thailand. Letter from my Government pension (Proof of Life) not got delivered so my pension was stopped. The letter and a second one posted took 8 months and 5 months. So no chance of getting letters from my Pension companies and if I did one thinks the immigration personnel could not read them. I am hoping the 800,000B in the bank for 3 months still works, but has anybody done this since the New Year.

I have been using Pulse TV for about a year. Last night around 9pm I went to watch the EPL matches. Had been using the program about 30 minutes before with no problem.

I could get picture but no sound, on checking there was no sound from any TV channel. Removed then re-downloaded app/program. Still the same

Have sent messages to Pulse TV mobile phone but no answer and sent email. No response. Now 18 hours on and still no sound. Sound is ok from You Tube

so I don't think it is my desktop computer.

Anyone else have this problem??

Today reported to Buriram Immigration office and for the first time told that my wife is liable for a fine as I had no TM30. Heard of this TM30 some time ago but now according to the immigration official, security is being stepped up and we all have to be in possession of this form which should be kept in your passport. According to how it was explained to me then the responsibility lays with the owner of the house, condo, hotel etc. So in my case my wife as she is the legal owner of my house. Hotels do it automatically when you arrive if like me you take the once a year trip to Pattaya. However the owner of the address where you live must either report to immigration or your local police station within 24 hours to notify your return. Apparently the 'Fines' can be quite severe. I got away with 300B (but no receipt). I agree with the security issue and it is therefore important to know where aliens live but if nothing is properly explained when new regulations come in or old regulations are enforced then it does tend to make you pissed off. Surely it would not take much to have big signs/notice boards where one can be updated. Not everyone can use a computer. The immigration official who dealt with me says that he and his team have been given the responsibility of making sure the correct procedures are done in the future. He gave me the impression they are going to be very strict in the future.

Note: Buriram immigration will be moving to behind  the I-Mobile stadium within the next couple of months. Could not get a date but if I did it would not  necessarily be right.

Above URL does not work

At lunch today ThaiExpat TV was up and running with a lot of extra channels. This was straight to PC not box.

There was a slight problem with synchronizing of the picture and sound.

However for the last two hours cannot get the program. 

Now as before 'Cannot find server'

My thanks to you Crossy for the link above. tried to search for it in my browser and also inserted above URL in Google and could not find. Thankfully clicked on your link above  and got it.

I too was p*ssed of when ThaiExpat told me I had to change over after first promising that the UKTV player could still be used. Now with your help have got it back. Has many more

channels than before though no sports channels.

The only problem I see is that you can record a program but you cannot watch it back. This was a much superior version than the EXpatTV especially when they removed the timeline at the bottom of the screen.

Pity that I can't play back a recording. But it is free so can't complain.

 

Sorry took a while for my old brain to orientate myself again with the old UKTV-Asia player program which I always thought far superior to ThaiExpat.

Can record and playback as before so while it is free I will continue to use this program. Pity about 365Sport but that's life.

I would guess that there are more catchup channels on IPTV-CLUB than ThaiExpat as there are not many channels to chose from on expat. There are many hundreds channels to chose from on iptvclub, it would be very difficult to have catch-up on them all. I will admit that the catchup on expattv works better as you can fast forward etc. Having said that the guy that runs it has said if there is a program you want on catchup he will add it.

Did you look at the IPTVEmu app to view their service?

With ThaiExpat costing 6000Baht for limited channels, I think 4,100 on IPTVClub for every channel you can possibly think of is very good value for the money.

Hi Vogie, can you record a program to watch later on IPTV-club. to me this is important

Not sure how they could go bust when they had income and  probably little outgoings.Fake news

ThaiExpat is working with the main channels available. Some channels that were available before like BBC2 and E4 are not available.

We've contacted 365 Sport/ Thai Expat TV for comment this morning. We'll keep you updated if/when we hear back from them

How are you able to contact these people when no one else can. They do not answer the phone or reply to emails.

It is a Public Holiday here in Thailand, but surely someone should be keeping an eye on things.

Thai expat TV is now working, but same server problem for 365Sport.

Cannot even open webpage for 365Sport.

Nothing but an automated reply for email sent last evening.

Yesterday afternoon could not load either 365Sport or ThaiExpat. Both had messages to the effect ' could not connect to server'

This morning ThaiExpat is ok, working normally but I notice that BBC2 is no longer available. No previous notification of this. I was downloading/watching a series on that channel.

365Sport still has a problem, more so than yesterday as one cannot even load the 365sport webpage to. Do not have a telephone No for them.

Sent an email late afternoon yesterday and got an automatic acknowledgement but no one has got back to me yet. I know it is a holiday in Thailand but surely someone must be working.

From the replies it does seem to have something to do with what area you are living in and therefore what immigration office you come under.

Those offices who have had a recent change, for one reason or another, are the ones that no longer do the on-line reporting.

Kap Choeng  and the new Buriram office do not service the online reporting.

Not surprisingly the call/help centre is unaware of these problems.

I have seen nothing official about it ending. I doubt very much it will be canceled.

I accept what you say.

I can only go on what I have been told by two 'reliable' sources, who should know what is going on. but when have you known good communication in Thailand.

I hope I am wrong on this.

My next reporting date was the 5th of this month. Went online to apply on the 22nd last month. Swiftly got the 'Pending' reply. But waited and waited trying everyday and could not get it 'Approved'

Phoned 1178 an111 for The Thai Visa helpline, just told me to keep on waiting.

Went to Kap Choeng today (wrongly ) as it happened (see other post re Buriram Expat residents) to renew my yearly extension and my 90 day report.

This is when they told me I go to the wrong place.

Showed them my online application with 'Pending" on it and asked why I could not get it 'approved'

The immigration officer stated that too many problems with web page (we know that) and the decision was made to suspend the service and are now waiting for a new program/web page.

He expected this to take about a year!!

Immediately I rang the hotline and repeated what I had been told they said they have not been informed of this.

When I arrived at the Buriram Immigration office I was told exactly the same thing. Even got my Thai wife to have the conversation in Thai to make sure we understood properly.

So tend to believe what I was told.

Anyone know anything different then reply.

There is no notices to that effect displayed anywhere, in fact Kap Choeng has a big sign on the door still saying how you can do online reporting which is what was given out before.

Once again there seems a lack of communication from head office to both the offices around the country and the call canter..

Not noticed this on Thai Visa but not to say it is not there somewhere.

As from 1st September the immigration Office at Kap Choeng will no longer service those  living in the Province of Buriram.

I found this out to my cost when I went this morning to renew my retirement extension.

So it was off to Buriram and thankfully my wife has some local guy who works for the local government who directed us. Otherwise would never have found it. No signs or markings anywhere.

It was a very large new building which seems to house many government  departments. Again when you get there no signs to say where to go.

From the large car park facing the front of the building, enter up the stairs on the right side of the building. Walk along until you see the lift the lift and go up to 3rd Floor. Go to your right and office is there on the left.

Still no markings/signs but say they have been open over 2 months.

One good point to note and that is the competence and the good way you are spoken to, also very helpful. Never asked for or assumed a tip, though I gave one for the good service.

Lesson learned, check that your local immigration office has not changed or moved could save you 6 hours travelling time.

Burioram Immigration Office Tel. No. is 0044666903.

Once again problems with the web page not opening.

Applied for 90 days extension on the 22nd this month. Due to report on the 5th Dec.

Usually only takes 2/3 working days to get the "approved'.

Up to yesterday morning could open the web page to check and the status was still 'Pending'

Yesterday afternoon web page went down and could not open, the same this morning.

Phoned the call Immigration  call center who were less than helpful.

Again phoned the call center this morning and was given 3 Bangkok telephone numbers but after many attempts no calsl were answered.

Phoned my local office in Kap Choeng and they said 'the online reporting would not be working again until next year, come to office!!!

I am pretty sure the officer I spoke to had no idea what he was talking about.

Cannot find a telephone No. to report the webpage is down or to check the status of my application.

Anyone else having these problems..

The reason you can't do the online is you must be no more than 7 days prior to the reporting date for it to work, I found that out the hard way.

 

Sorry incorrect, see reply to 'mumurray' below. I think the first reply from 'elviajero'  is most likely correct.

Pretty sure that for the online to work it must be done between 15-7 days before the due date.

Yes,  you are correct, well almost. You can do online for the period of 14 days before the given date and not less than 7 days. for reporting

I found this out to my cost last year when I forgot to do and tried 5 days before due date.

Thanks 'elviajero' for the reply.

As I could not renew the extension on line, where I normally have no problem, I guessed this was the reason.

Good to have it confirmed though.
