  1. I was issued a Non O visa in 2011 and converted to a retirement extension in 2012. I was at our local immigration office

    this morning and asked about converting from retirement  to marriage when my next extension was due. I was told that I would have

    to depart Thailand and obtained a new Non O visa. I queried this and he got his supervisor who also told me that this was now the case. 

    Has anyone heard of this? 

     

  2. I have been informed from a very knowledgeable person (my wife) that the 1st of December lottery draw will be occurring in Phayao.

    It will happen at the Amphur near the Phayao hospital. The tickets being sold even have a photo of the lake of Phayao. 

    Good for tourism

    Good idea except that would not be a normal check-in procedure.  Are you saying I should request it prior to departure?  At the airport, or before?  It sounds like a major hassle to be honest.  Have you ever heard of someone actually doing that?

     

    I know about "carnets" but I don't think you can get one for a "consumer" type item; they're mainly for professional or commercial people like for professional photographers, motion picture producers or businessmen with expensive samples, etc.

     

    After considering my options, I'm thinking of getting an insurance policy on the bike from a Thai-based insurance agent.  I think that might be the easiest solution, perhaps.  Serial # would be on the document, and date of policy would prove I had it before exiting the Kingdom for my trip.  Besides, I probably should insure it anyway, even though it's never out of my sight when I'm using it.

     

    It would be done before check in. You would go to their office at the Airport and have the bike verified before you check it in. 

    I have not heard of it in Thailand but it happens  in Australia.   https://www.abf.gov.au/form-listing/forms/b263.pdf
