  1. Actually makes sense, if you separates tourists and other arrivals. In the beginning I was very sceptical about a tourist entry fee, but I've changing my view due to the general Worldwide problem with over-tourism. It seems like the right track to focus more on tourists that can and will pay, rather than massive budget tourism.
  2. To my knowledge, you accountant is correct; mine says the same, and it also makes good common sense that business is separated from private...
  3. To my knowledge: You have to be registered as resident in a House Book, but don't need to stay in Thailand.
  4. Thumbs up πŸ‘ for the amazing health-treatment Thaksin received during his imprisonment, it seems to work extremely well...
  5. Adjustments in minimum salary to keep up with inflation, and a tiny extra level to improve lifestyle, might be more important than the "digital wallet"...
  6. That's why is so difficult for non native English speakers to catch up with a proper either-or English...
  7. Seems like "against cannabis use" then will be the favourite...
  8. Apart from above helpful link; the required documents might vary depending on where you live, some immigration offices are more strict than others.
  9. Choose bars with aircon, and your problem is solved...
  10. It's a simple and cheap process to get a .org-domain instead of .or.th.
  11. As long as they behave nice – and that goes for all nationalities – I don't mind which country the originates from...
  12. Just get a new clean passport and make BOI happy; your single entry non-O visa was "cancelled" at the moment it was used for entry.
  13. Over-tourism is a surging problem many places. Selling – the PM states that he is a seller – before the product is available is a critical issue; for tourism it's especially a question of infrastructure. And of course, the Songkran water wars should have lasted the promised 21 days... Some will not like this comment, but former PM Prayut Chan-o-cha was in a way on the right track with "quality tourism" – i.e. better off guests that can afford to spend some money instead of low budget mass tourism – however, how ro deal with it is difficult; entrance fee like in Venice or allowed number og visitors for various areas.
  14. This is correct. It's however depending on the local immigration office. For example Surat Thani, Koh Samui, resets the 90-days report upon approving extension of stay, as address is reported when applying for extension of stay.
  15. Biggest dream right now is winning the 100 million Euro in the EuroJackpot...
  16. Makes really good sense to help the "around 15 million financially vulnerable individuals, instead of the planned 50 million in its proposal"... In reality, if given to 50 million people, it's not a "gift" from the government, it's a loan that the population will need to pay back plus some level of interest...
  17. My immigration office – i.e., the one I use – Surat Thani Province, Koh Samui, requires GPS coordinates and Google satellite map (item #7 in the menu card)...
  18. It's online now; so, they don't send you a tax return form by mail anymore. If you cannot find out to it online, you would normally be able to get help at the local tax revenue office; they might register you, give you a password and do it online for first time. You can download a tax return form in English and prefill, so it's easy for the tax revenue officer. The online tax return is available in English; however, some scroll down options are only shown in Thai language. Last date for tax return was 31st March.
  19. Sin sot and party costs usually reflects the status of the families – including the number of invited guest – so, you wife shall have good knowledge about it. Average costs really depends on status; so, average cost in which level. A poor couple's wedding might be a very modest reception, where the money guests bring pays for it all and more (I've experienced that). Higher social level weddings might be with a guest list for hundreds – or even a thousand or more (I've also experienced that) – guests; so, we talk about several millions of baht. In that view, 500,000 baht is not out of range. Dowry is a question of negotiation. Also, if part of the sin sot – or all of it – shall stay with the new married couple. I'm not sure if "Thailand is cheap", especially not when it's higher social level weddings. I've been invited guest at four weddings in those levels, and they didn't appear cheap at all.
  20. So, how can it then be a kind of surprise, worthy a news story...
  21. A common problem that sometimes arise. Could be lots of things underway to Europe or US; higher than usual traffic, router down, or broken connection somewhere, so remaining open gates are overloaded. ASEAN NOW seems to have its server in Singapore.
  22. I'm replying OP on OP's OP; I do't need to read all comments to do that, which is why I quote the opening post, so it's clear what I'm commenting. And you are very welcome not to read my comments, which will save you for of spending time complaining about my posts. And it would be more expensive to fly up to BKK to get entry stamp corrected – money seemed to be a important for OP...πŸ˜‰
  23. I gave OP two options: 1) if she can get her entry stamp corrected; and 2) an extension, if she cannot get her entry stamp corrected. Not that difficult to understand...
