I'm just wondering if this is the norm for other areas. Went to the Chumphon IO office last week to renew my marriage extension. I have been married for many years and have lived in the same house for 12 years . They are now saying . New rule we come visit you every year now. I have family arriving in Samui next week and have booked a hotel for a few weeks. But now they say I have to wait for visit. Is this just the **** here or does this go on in other provinces?. I thought they wanted more expats. Or do they want more expats just to pee off
