Mae Sai is closed.  Chiang Saen and Chiang Khong require 1-2 night stay.  Most Malaysian borders require overnight stay.

Try Kanchanaburi, they take you into Myanmar in a van, you sit in the van a man takes all the passports to the immigration tin shed then they drive you back passport stamped, you have to hand passport over on the Thai side pay a fee get into the van and your back within a hour with extension, that was my experience a few years ago anyone know if it is still the same?.

600$ ???

Almost 20000 Baht.

Five customers per month? Lazy bugger.

What the heck are her special artistic features?

Can't be true!

She was caught with marked bills, did police send someone in to do the job, if so that's a set up and would not be legal in most countries

Now wait for them to do the exact same thing to get Yingluck back into Thailand.  Money is power.  Power puts you above the law. With money you can paid others to take the fall.

She will probably be suffering from PTSD, or Rice Syndrome

police doctors... what could possibly go wrong

It seems that the two doctors got different results in their diagnosis, so they should have called for a second opinion, slap slap on the wrist

Wise is normally pretty instantaneous but recently I seem to get unnecessary delays. Yesterday  I sent £59 from the UK but today it still says "sending". I sent £12 just a few minutes ago and the recipient got it almost instantaneously. I have sent them a message to ask why. It just seems these days delays are getting more frequent. Fortunately this was small amount of money but I am concerned about what happens if this a large amount of cash? Anybody else experiencing this?

Not with wise but with other company had to provide legal proof of where the money come from, twice I was asked and provided letters from lawyers and bank, after that OK 

What annoys me is that they allready had the same info

Vasillios...ridgey didge fair dinkum Ozzie name that is.

Could possibly be Italian? 

Highly unlikely. I used to attend the local Thai temple in NZ on a regular basis, and help the Monks with maintenance , I learnt there was a lot of jealousy and even affairs going on which amazed me at the time, but these things seemed to disappear or the Monk changed temples.

Two Viets and a Chinese. Bet the stuff  was destined for Cambodia or Vietnam

What is happening in Thailand now has happened in NZ for a few years now, the Chinese were invited to come to NZ.

The British Hong Kong police said the mafia would not come to NZ.

Well what a load of krup that was, the Mafia moved in big time and are responsible for infiltrating big bike gangs and selling Meth, the number one problem in NZ.

And now the Thai news reports nearly everyday of chinese assaults on people and drug busts are becoming a daily event, never saw this amount of crime in Thailand from Chinese tourists who were virtually on guided tours a few years ago, may Buddha help Thailand

This has been going on for years Russians even had private disco rooms in some Hotels for their own use they hired whole floors of small Hotels, I used to stay in one years ago and were told by the desk not to go to that floor, I had a peek one afternoon no one was around and they had a nice band room set up, this was about 20 years ago. 

Walk around Nana and see the African girls in bright colours standing along the street, the BMWS can't detect them

"In a shocking revelation, the Medical Council of Thailand declared that Thaksin Shinawatra, the de facto Pheu Thai leader, is not suffering from the critically ill conditions previously reported."

 

 

Shoking revelation? Not on the AseanNow forum.  One of the few articles where noone is doubting his fake illness. Just another day in Thailand.

He's not suffering now because they cured him, it was the neck brace that fixed him

You are talking specific problem areas, you certainly are not takjing NZ as a whole

Correct NZ is not safe as it was, murder is every day and gangs peddling Chinese meth everywhere 

Nobody mentions that most meth comes in from China and is distributed through gangs, that's how it works in NZ bike gangs teem with the Chinese mafia and disribute meth, Russian's and police and freelance at work in Thailand but the source is China, never going to stop this, they can't control it in NZ

Might? I'd bet my left nut "will" will be the case. No mights about it. The "fake illness" was all part of the deal and the deal makers (the military, elite, establishment) own the courts.

Never going to happen, the poor man had to suffer the heat from wearing a neck brace and he stood upwell to his special medical treatments from the best doctors, good on him.

I wonder what they fight about , girls, drugs or just plain drunken idiots wanting to fight I prefer the latter.

And the poster is right, never used to see this, many forms of drugs around now , meth , cocaine and the illustrious dope shops selling unchecked medical weed, that god knows the THC content off.

Maybe they could isolate a designated area for these animals , call it Dope street and have boxing rings instead of pole dancers.

Plenty drugs to be had all over tourist areas in Thailand. It’s not a new thing, since all the cannabis shops opened its got worse every year. And it’s not only cannabis.

Swallowing drugs to smuggle them in has been around for many years

Changing Immigration Rules like other people changing their Underpants and keeping the Thai Baht artificially strong is taking their toll.

Not to mention grab  meals overtaking restaurants, dope shops everywhere and exploding boats and buses

I was married for three years while on a B-Visa and working.  Changing over was a piece of cake other than the female IO was just a hostile charmer.  If she was your g/f for that long, you had all the chances in the world to marry - and yet you didn't.  I think immigration looks at that and thinks the same thing as the three week marriage comes off as a possible scam. "Live together for 15 years" but don't marry???  Then suddenly marry and apply for an extension based on marriage three weeks later???  🤔

 

That's just poor planning.  Why did you wait 15 years to get married.  Is your marriage "real" or did you marry her just to obtain a visa.  I'd even ask that question. Personally I don't understand long-term relationships with no marriage - it shows a lack of commitment.  Ah? So I can see the IO's point.  Even in my book, if you stay together for 15 years but decide to get married and then immediately apply for a marriage extension - well - it looks fishy OP.  I even think it looks fishy.  My guess is you're rightfully going to be under a microscope for awhile. 

My guess is you're going to be border hopping for awhile to come back and "visit" your wife until Immigration are convicted that you actually are committed to the marriage.

If you could show them proof of staying together photos references from friends and get a few more extensions then reapply maybe be OK
