But why? How can you constantly " need" stuff? Is it pretty much a habit or hobby just buying stuff? Is buyer's remorse high?
-
How in the world have you bought " hundreds" of items? You must be a professional shopper or a serous addict. Do you just look for stuff constantly?

Is that what you got out of my post? I mean really?? If you have not ever noticed then I will explain something to you. Some people seem to call it Pattaya immigration and a poster mentioned they told him to come back just one day before. Another poster called it Jomtien immigration and said he was told to come only three days before. Now would you like to tell me it's actually spelled " Chomtien " as well?

I think a lot of " basic" info about 30 day extensions is becoming not the norm. You mentioned going a couple weeks before and there have been several reports that you could only go three days before at Jomtien and even a report only one day before at Pattaya. Also you don't even need copies at some locations. I was at Hua Hin immigration on Thursday. You know what they were asking for instead of TM 30's?? They were asking to see your room key!! I even read a report of this on Reddit and thought the person who posted it probably was a trouble maker but then they asked me and others the same thing last Thursday. My room key was in my room with the a/c going and my partner in the room. Many hotels use an almost blank card now without the hotel name even on it for security reasons. I had this post card of the hotel. The person who asked me for a room key ( and NEVER MENTIONED TM 30 ) even though I did, took my post card to another women and she opened it ( it folded open with pics etc) she actually looked it over and " approved" it. Now when I got to be one of the next people to get my 30 day extension ( I just finished my 60 day tourist visa) that same person took my passport , made a copy of picture page, copy of visa stamp page and gave them back to me. I had all these copies in my folder but no one ever asked. I also had a picture which was never asked for. They took a picture of me when I sat down with immigration officer and used that ( completely blurry and elongated ) pic or scan and attached it to my application. Then I went to pay at the other window with the girl who approved my post card and took the copies for me for free and when sitting with her I could hear the immigration officer I just met with telling another couple that they may not want to wait until their last day to extend another 30 days. The couple asked how long before can we come next time. The immigration officer said " 10 days". Very exact answer and NOT two weeks. If a TM 30 copy is the sheet of paper that the hotel gave to me with several current guests names , passport numbers, country and arrival and departure dates on it then I HAD this list in my file. No one asked for it. But if hotels send this list every morning to the immigration office why would I even need it? This hotel as well as many others seem to do it so why show them a copy? Can't they CHECK this? If they can't or don't why do sooo many posts on here say " take a screen shot" of TM 30?? Maybe an actual picture posted would be more helpful to people on this forum. And what exactly would I have done with this screen shot? Show them it on my phone? I just see you write this constantly but I've never seen what a TM 30 looks like that a hotel does. I think it would be helpful. I think you are very helpful and this isn't any critique but my point is that EVERY office has the most insane new requirements and I bet many people who have been to Hua Hin recently have been asked to show their room key!! What else is next lol?? I literally asked the first big boy who came over to me to look at my TM 7 and ask did I have my room key to show. Do you want a copy of TM 30? I said it slowly there was that glass look over his face and I said I have this post card! As mentioned my post card with added pictures was approved. My post card was also copied for free along with the other things I mentioned. Good news was that I got my extension. Got there at 10:15am. Got number 6, they started calling numbers about 10:50am and I was out about 11:15am. Again thanks for your advice on here but it seems even the most basic things we are told to do aren't always necessary and new ridiculous things are asked for. I was very properly dressed too.

Exhibition - "THE TUMULTS OF OUR WORLD" - Bangkok Art and Culture Centre

The BACC is a great place to visit. It's free too. -
If you stay at a hotel the night (s) before going to immigration why would you need a copy of a TM30 when you arrive at immigration. They would already have this information.

Many ways to do what you stated without crappy Farcebooks use. If so many 20 somethings are dumping it I can't see a reason why old guys ever need it.

More than a third of US adults say Biden’s 2020 victory was not legitimate

So what did she have when she happily attended Donald Trumps wedding? You honestly just said pneumonia was a reason she used the term she FOREVER won't get over? The first question is much more interesting. -
I understand a southern accent easy to spot and the two cities that have the strongest accents are locals from Boston and NYC ( I grew up in Connecticut right in the middle) and maybe a very light Midwest accents but most others sound like people on the news and Canadian news and USA news staff sound exactly the same. I'm not including Ebonics in this. Saying a few ehs doesn't really distinguish Canadians sounding different. I mean Canadians traveling abroad CONSTANTLY and unendingly are assumed to be from the USA. Ask any Canadian! When Canadians and folks from the states meet until they ask each other where they are from can't tell either most times. They both use the exact same slang as well. So I disagree. Ask people in Seattle and Vancouver they will say the same. Soo the poster who " knew" the shirtless guy out and about in LOUD PATTAYA could NOT hear any difference he's a liar.

You must not watch a single YouTube vid about how bad Chicago is. The murder rate is out of control and so is crime. There is not an Embassy in LA, Chicago or New York City either. No one needs Fox News to know how horrible Chicago is! Do you EVER hear tons of bad news about a large city like Boston? You have to literally search all over for them. Chicago is done. No one would even go as a tourist anymore. I found the NYC consulate quite easy to get my visit to Thailand during corona. You also have to apply to an exact consulate or DC embassy. You do not get to choose.

I highly doubt it. There was also a non stop Thai air flight from JFK to BKK years ago. They don't make $$ on the seats. They make $$ on what's below the seats in cargo. You can't have the planes that heavy and have them fly 17 hours non stop. No other carriers will do a non stop either to BKK it's not business oriented at all. Just Singapore air does NYC/Newark non stop and they are smart NO ECONOMY seats just premium economy and up. The part about " charted " flights is just stupid. They don't even know this doesn't even exist from USA or Canada.

Phuket simplifies visa extensions with new online system
alex8912 replied to webfact's topic in Phuket News
Thank you. Step 3 makes this process soooo not simple 😂 and I bet part of the " necessary " docs is TM30 which means you would have to be in BKK until you get "approved". -
Phuket simplifies visa extensions with new online system
alex8912 replied to webfact's topic in Phuket News
I wish someone knew if CW can be done on line with NO REQUIREMENT to go there for JUST a 30 day extension of TR. That would also mean you can stay in BKK the night ( s) before and make sure hotel does TM30 for you. That would be great. -
Phuket simplifies visa extensions with new online system
alex8912 replied to webfact's topic in Phuket News
I don't get it. If you are saying you have to go to CW what the heck is the difference.? The point I thought I read about Phuket is that there is no need for a visit for a stupid 30 day extension of TR tourist visa. -
Like your foolish post with nothing to say?

Damn that's a lot of A1 And BBQ sauce you consume. My bottle lasts a couple months in BKK and I usually have to chuck some out.
