Norwegian man arrested on Samui Island for 15 days of overstay
Peabody replied to webfact's topic in Koh Samui News
Saw them try to get a guy for 10 days overstay last week. Turned out to be a mistake in their computer records, but they were gonna get him! -

You're absolutely joking, right? -
Chinese man arrested in Rayong for 401 days of overstay
Peabody replied to webfact's topic in Eastern Thailand
I was at immigration last week, seated next to an IO. He had a sheaf of maybe 30-40 A4-size computer printouts, each with a name, photo, picture of passport, TM30 copy, mobile#, email, blah, blah, blah, and, at the top right corner, the number of days overstay. The numbers ranged from just TEN DAYS to almost 400 days. The 400 days, not so surprising, but they were ready to take a guy down for a mere TEN DAYS! -
For retired expats What do you do for excitement
Peabody replied to kingstonkid's topic in ASEAN NOW Community Pub
Same. I sit on my balcony and watch the goings on at Pattaya Beach, go out for groceries, Benjamit Coffee (!!), massage, pay bills, watch Netflix (on the balcony at night is best), make bread and ice cream and cheesecakes, video chat with friends and relatives around the world (somebody will always be up, 24/7), eat various meals out several times/week, deal with the ornery- immigration, DLT, banks (OMFG...BANKS!!), walk along the beach, and growing a few vegetables. -

May or may not be courteous, but in your case, it would certainly be appropriate. -

I had a little extra room in an outdoor grow tent, so I will started a Bruce Banner Auto from seed. I've done nothing but a bit of LST and MINOR defoliating. She throws off some weird leaves occasionally. Here she is at exactly 50 days since seed popped. ???? Seedlings are 6-day old Cookies Gelato from Royal Queen Seeds. Photos.

Eratosthenes? Who mathematically calculated the circumference of the Earth? Like 2000+ years ago. -

Perhaps topology? Something like, "In topology, there is no difference between the shape of the Earth and the shape of a plate." -

Extension of the 45 days on arrival?
Peabody replied to coralia's topic in Thai Visas, Residency, and Work Permits
I have a 1-year lease on a condo in PTY. When I applied for my O visa at Jomtien in August I needed a copy of the owner's house book AND the owner's work permit! -

1st time extension of non-O requirements
Peabody replied to Peabody's topic in Thai Visas, Residency, and Work Permits
My friend called the immi hotline to ask if a 15 day wait period was now mandatory for extending an O visa based on retirement. "Which office?", they asked. "Jomtien". 2 minutes on hold, then person returned and said, "Jomtien is free to make their own rules.", so that was that. -
1st time extension of non-O requirements
Peabody replied to Peabody's topic in Thai Visas, Residency, and Work Permits
Note: he already has his non-O. He is applying for his first extension. Thought that was receive day you apply, up to end of O visa. Retirement basis -
I always thought that if you have a non-immi-O visa, you could walk in and receive your first 1 year extension on the spot , even up to the expiry date of the non-O. A friend recently told me that you need at least 15 days remaining on the non-O to apply for your first extension. Anybody else experience this?

Wouldn't be possible without the help and encouragement of several other forum members. You know who you are. Thanks.

Convert O-A to O at Jomtien. MAJOR GLITCH
Peabody replied to Lichiyado's topic in Thai Visas, Residency, and Work Permits
I tried to ask for clarification of one of the items that was on a list she shoved at me. She hissed "Can you read English?" <deleted> -
I am currently doing an indoor grow of Wild Thai, the landrace strain from Ko Chang. 5 different phenotypes. Grown from clones made from mom plants originally from seeds from Serious Seeds. Will knock it back to one pheno after analysing yield, high, flavor, smell, etc.

Chopped a sickly looking Gorilla Bomb today. Shaking the dirt off its roots and found this disgusting thing. Worst thing was, I thought it was an old Jiffy Pot or something and picked it up to look. Almost threw up. Anybody know what it is? Indoor grow. I hate grubs 20221105_155503.mp4 20221105_162007.mp4
