Thailand could extend visa-free entry from 30 to 60 days
alex8912 replied to webfact's topic in Thailand News
You had to show a bank statement don't text false things. The employer info is for METV. A tourist visa app for 60 days MUST provide a recent bank statement with I believe is about $600 USD. I did one a few weeks ago as well. -
You don't really mention WHY you want to stay consecutive ONLY days in Thailand OP?? But if you are aiming at " about 5.5 months " as you stated it's pretty easy to get a 60 day tourist visa in your home country and extend 30 days easily in country. Then take a short holiday anywhere like Saigon KL etc for week or so. Enjoy another place or a new place and return to Thailand visa exempt for 30 days and extend easily 30 more days in country. Then go to your home country. A METV would work as well with just one short trip out. Why keep 800k here in Thailand if you are away 6.5 months?? You also won't have to do the 90 day report here this way.

You seem to not mention that many good posters are gone now. Not just the ones who are offended by "bad behavior of others" Many of them were pushed out by moderators and extreme over posters who seemed to control the whole forum. I can think of one poster still on here who must have made hundreds leave because of his complete nonsense and posting freedoms. Also what you may consider is name calling another poster may not. How can you not understand that? I think you do need to be more aware of language changes over the years. You really are not there yet. You have referred to someone " scoring points " in two posts now. Why do you equate name calling with " scoring points"? You seem to contradict yourself.

What the hell is a dressing gown? I hope it's not something British. -
Honestly maybe the term drama queen does apply to you after that post. You simply can't have a forum LIKE THIS ONE. Not the one you have not mentioned. Without some name calling the entire forum would have closed down!! If you really are offended by the term " drama queen " said at a moment when SEVERAL other actually rude terms could or should have been used then the problems you or others have is quite internal and have to be dealt with perhaps professionally. This is NOT the place for deep serious people at any level. There are certainly forums for that elsewhere. One other thing that I will point out is that people yes actually teenagers to 90 + post on here. Language has changed my friend from generation to generation and for example Americans may say something that they feel is extremely light and funny that an old British guy will take offense to. On the other hand another old British ( dude) will think it's funny because he has been exposed to the term many times already and not be uptight.

Thailand could extend visa-free entry from 30 to 60 days
alex8912 replied to webfact's topic in Thailand News
It's too late. High season is here. A huge percentage of travelers coming especially for 31 days or more already have their tickets and visa already. Or they have chosen to go elsewhere for the winter by now. They don't understand that people plan months ahead to come here. They are complete fools. -

Not being you. -
Well things have changed around here. I was suspended for using the term " drama queen" a few years ago. Guess who were behind that?
-
I agree. It is especially true of habitual posters. I have only blocked one poster in over 12 years but he posts so much that I constantly still see his posts when others quote him. He posts non stop every day so why can't I (we) just never see even the " quoted " posts?

Honestly the " fill in the blank"...phobic posters need to be seriously moderated. Some ( especially one) poster can barely make a comment without spewing something " phobic". Not meant to be an attack on you because I never read a post of yours before but making points with ...phobic are weak and lack any thought or creativity. Nuff said. On a side note very sorry to hear about Ubon Joe's passing ( on this thread) had to be one of the most patient people I've never met. RIP

So who cares what he says. I bet people in your country say worse. Has nothing to do with Istanbul being a great city. -

It's a great place to visit and maybe it's better since 2007 actually. Not bad getting 28 lira to the dollar! But I'm sure Turkish air will have better fares than Thai. Looking forward to my three day stopover on the way to BKK in two weeks. -
There are agents just to do 30 day Tourist visa extensions? For the 1900 fee and 3-400 baht more?

Tourist visa application - London
alex8912 replied to retayl's topic in Thai Visas, Residency, and Work Permits
Someone should make a Facebook page of how absolutely stupid the process is to get a Thai 60 day visa. It's almost comical how any 15 year old could make a better website than these morons have been using since corona. They NEVER make a change so people who want a 60 day visa only can easily apply and how stupid it is that they ask for SEVERAL things that are not needed at all and if you don't upload something you can't move forward and pay. Why in the world do you need to make silly signs that say not needed etc. They seem to not like to loose face so maybe Facebook can out them to their insane stupidity. Yet on the other hand they want tourists desperately. PS I don't have FB. -
Oh jeez. What a nothing burger. This is the big bad tourist op??
-
They have to make a simple 60 day tourist visa actually simple. Not what they have had for awhile now. What ever happened to the 90 day visa exempt scheme that would attract long term Europeans, Americans , Australians etc?? It's too late for that anyways for this high season. They keep acting like a trickle of Chinese mainly on packages will save tourism.

what you do with your house when you are away in thailand?

alex8912 replied to parafareno's topic in General Topics
I turn the heat down to 54F , leave the gas water heater in vacation mode, close and lock all windows and doors. Turn off and unplug all appliances and leave on a few night lights with sensors. My heating bill is about $30-35Usd and electric about $9/month when away. Leave for 5 1/2 months. This is in New England. I don't understand the " mold " part of your post whatsoever. -

That is some very strange home owners insurance policy. I would definitely get a normal one. -
You "Might " have a point?? I mean really why would anyone bother debating you after saying that.

Thai health minister backs cannabis ban, citing surge in teen usage
alex8912 replied to webfact's topic in Thailand News
I mentioned 700-1000 baht per gram. read your own post you said "Thai teens included" they are NOT using prikpot or any dispensary most likely. The same crap Thai weed they smoked 10 years ago they are smoking now and there's no increase. Just HYPE from uneducated politicians! -
Thai health minister backs cannabis ban, citing surge in teen usage
alex8912 replied to webfact's topic in Thailand News
Read your post. You said " Thai teens included". They are not " included" in almost any prikpot sales for reasons you even mentioned. The 150 baht a gram stuff is not good. I have tried as many others. Thai teens could get Thai weed cheap years ago and now. There is not this HUGE FAKE increase anywhere. It's rare to even see a Thai in any dispensary as well. This is like the same hype these soccer moms in Boston's suburbs were spewing about before Massachusetts made recreational weed legal. Now all these rich towns have dispensaries and the towns themselves get all kinds of tax dollars and incentives like expanded school programs, police cars , snow plows , money to help people addicted to opioids etc and they all LOVE it now. I see them shopping at the dispensaries too lol. Most of Thailands politicians want to keep a blind eye out about Yabba/ methamphetamines / E / other opioids that have ruined families and try to target pot only which ruins no families. -

alex8912 replied to webfact's topic in Thailand News
Oh. The Thai teens are all using prikpot and you know this? The 150 baht per gram is good stuff? I've heard quite different. Then they have it delivered to their house? Ok sounds like that happens almost NEVER! These would be the SAME teens who could buy regular Thai weed anytime in their life but now use Prikpot? Hmmm I beg to differ.
