Very old tradition in Thailand...

Very popular with Phuket's Taxi drivers planking all day, they just doing it wrong: they use a hamooc

Should do a crackdown on plankers next

He has been "suicided" by "drowning" who was in turn helped by "coincidence"....

We have to close the case...

Fat paycheck and whisky time now, "finish wolk" (quote Exbleg)

Sad indeed..

Biggest Time Share company has a booth inside the Airport at the International arrival Terminal, claiming they are Ministry of Tourism and collect travelers names and hotels so they can phone them in their hotel afterward....

This is a perfectly legal practice I presume...

Or do they pay too much to even be investigated?

People with visible religious tattoos who engaged in "bad behavior" such as "sitting drinking alcohol and arguing" would damage the faiths through association, Mr Niphit said.

Next week he will ban alcohol in Phuket.

In 2 weeks time, ban chairs as well so no-one can be seen drinking or sitting.... So they can save the faith (or the face)...

With all that happen daily in Phuket, it is nice to see those guys got their priorities straight...

Ok, Thanks, It's clear.

Could use the 30 days and overstay trick if needed but to make it fully legal, I have to get baby a yearly Visa like mine...

Exactly what I thought until immigration office told me NO......

Guess it is back to Immi Office trying to explain again nicely that YES

Another half day of work going to waste but we will get there eventually hehe.

Thanks again for the clarifications.

Sorry, re-read few times previous posts but sounds like technical language

Fully understand that birth exempt the baby for a stamp upon exiting the country.

Understand for overstay if the baby never goes out...

What is still a little bit a grey area for me is the re-entry point.

the Child will need a visa or enter as visa exempt on return.

Local Immigration office sent my staff back stating the child doesn't need Visa, that is where I am confused: "Out of Thailand: passport + birth certificate, back in = passport + birth certificate"

I am not familiar with the notion of Visa Exempt on return: could you explain a little pls? Is that something I have to ask local immigration office?

So birth certificate kind of replace Visa and Multiple re-entry stamp?

Might try to make a visa at a later date as you specified, but when Immigration Captain of my local office says no, it is usually better not to pursue matters further...

Just want to make sure 100% beforehand: it is not because Captain says no, that it is 100% correct either.

Don't want to be stuck at immigration on my return by an zealous officer stating: no Visa, baby stays outside...

Baby born in Mars this year, 2 months old.

French Passport, wife is not Thai.

I am myself on Work Visa Non-B Extension and want to be prepared as I might go on Vacation outside Thailand soon.

Was told that the Baby does not need any Visa (even with French Passport) and can enter into Thailand at any time just by presenting passport and Birth Certificate (born in Thailand but from foreigner parents so can not get Thai nationality).

Seems strange that a foreigner passport (even a baby) can enter in Thailand without any Visa...

Is that forever due to the fact of been born in Thailand or is it just applicable for babies?
