    Are you sure that is the case for second and subsequent Covid extensions? Almost everywhere else, the Covid extension starts on the application date for the first Covid extension, but at the end of the current permission to stay date for subsequent Covid extensions.

    Unfortunately yes ???? was rather surprised to be honest.  Of course the immigration officer said it's the decision of the local chief. 

  2. Hi all,
    In a purely hypothetical situation...

    If I have to visit CNX immigration on the 14th of June to receive the approval for the remaining 6 weeks of Covid visa (Originally applied on the 1st of June and received initial approval of visa for 2 weeks)

     

    and 

     

    If I am unable to visit CNX immigration on the 14th of June (because I am in Samui), will that be considered an overstay? and fined?

     

    If so is there a workaround for this? I Can courier the PP to TGF who can visit CNX immigration on my behalf

     

     

    Apologies if this has been answered before. Searched but didn't find the answer. 
    Thanks in advance ????

    Is the OP appreciated for coaching anyway- do they say thank you, wai? If not, why bother?

     

    It's been a hard lesson for me to learn in life, but sometimes people just don't want some well intentioned person trying to help. I've always been keen to pass on the lessons I've learned, but I finally realised that sometimes it's a mistake to do so.

    Thank you very for the reply :),
    do they say thank you, wai? of course not ???? I assumed it was a Thai thing not to be grateful for anything. I wish they wouldn't keep calling me "The Farang" 

     

    I am not going to bother with improving the skill of these people anymore.

    Classic. Used to play 2 on 2, rec style for exercise. We would play against Thai teams, whoever is around. Had more than a few Thai teams, who could not, would not, accept a happy medium for rules. They would hack the excrement out of you, travel, etc, when you would point it out, they would get in an argument about it. And you know Thais in a heated argument. Yeesh.  We were doing it for fun and exercise, they were doing it for a different reason.  

    In your case, Thais never enjoy having their "faults" pointed out even coaching B Ball.  Good luck with that. You might be lucky too, didn't a Thai footie player just elbow smash a guy in the face, fracturing his cheekbone?! Uh huh. My favorite was the two badminton players who got in a fight, throwing chairs. punches, chasing each other around the court, heh.

     

     

    This it truly so insightful ???? Thanks! 

    Happens all the time. 2 on 2, 3 on 3. 

    They always cheat, and if they get caught it's always your fault and you are the cheat!

     

    They make a fun sport highly unenjoyable with their ill mannered grumpy/moody ways.

    A 14 year old, 120 kg half man playing basket ball? I would like to see that. Is the weight because he is 2,14 m long?

    However, A teen with a bad attitude is not uncommon. His mother would know better, though.

    I think you will find it better to just leave the people that clearly deserve each other alone and get along with your life.

    about 5ft, 150cm. Built like a MT fighter, but all fat not much muscle. Doesn't run ????

     

    His father does, but probably terrified to do anything about it.

    I would stop coaching him and never have anything to do with him again.

     

    If his friends (if he has any) all start causing trouble then I'd just walk away and never do any of these ungreatful morons any kind of service ever again.

     

    Don't go out of your way to help those who clearly hate you, ever.

    Thank you so much for the advice ???? 

    Yup truly ungrateful, unfriendly, disrespectful, stupid and lazy. Characteristics for a great future ????

    I understand that you dislike the present government, but your hatred for them is not born out in the reality of life such as I experienced when living in LOS. Certainly not as bad as when Thaksin was in charge. That really was a low point for LOS IMO.

     

    If expats want to leave that is up to them, but IMO they won't find it any better when they get back to where they belong. Doesn't matter how bad it gets in LOS, it can't be worse than where I am now, and at least it's hot there.

    Why and how was it bad when Thaksin was in charge?

    Some of my Japanese friends are still benefitting from the 1M THB Elite Visa Taksin created, with free unlimited massages at luxury spas etc

    The gf may be 100% right "culturally" that it was your fault for the outburst, not the cheating depending on HOW you called him on it.

     

    What to do about it - it's too late to "mend fences" if they haven't been already so just "pretend" the whole process never existed. There was never any coaching, never any outburst, never even met the kid and move along with your life.

    Treat him like a snake encountered in the forest. "My Way, Your Way" is how the wife explained it to me. Means simply don't mess with things that might bite you. 

    Thanks for a well balanced and a well thought out response ????

    This is a good general structure for me to apply for many other uncomfortable situations in life.

    BTW is the wife Thai? Didn't even know Thais had  "My Way, Your Way" thing.

    Thanks again! owe you lots of beers ????

    Wife is nicest, kindest person I ever met, she's from the farming hills in Nan. Her father from the same area basically threatened to beat me up in our only ever meeting (apparently he's calmed down now after the disgrace of daughter marrying farang), but he was a right a hole.

    Lucky for you to marry into such a high so family!

    Exactly what the vast majority of the Chinese tourists did, when they were #1 in volume. Everyone I spoke to in the industry said they did not spend much money. Only the fruit shake vendors, the buffets, 7/11, Lotus, and duty free seemed to make any money from them. And they want them back?

    of course they want those "rich" Chinese back!

    how well do you know the kid? you coach him in basketball, does he always talk like this? 

    Hmm, good questions ???? ,

    how well do you know the kid?

    I don't know him all that well. Only for about 2 months. 

     

    Does he always talk like this? 

    no he is aloof, I try to to very friendly with everyone. He does shot at the other like that at times.
