My previous company has its' Regional HQ in Bangkok for 18 years, with more than 450 employees, about 100 of whom were expats. The unsettled environment, airport closure, Bangkok blockade issues, Coups etc of the Yellow Shirt and Red Shirt days, was the final straw for the Head Office. They moved most of the operation to Singapore, now with 280 in Singapore now and 150 left in Thailand, with only about 15 of the 100 expats left. A lot of the Thai workforce jobs were moved to Singapore and are now filled by Singaporeans.
Political instability and safety concern was 100% responsible for that move.

It is a wild reptile, that bites things for a living, not sure what else the Keeper expected.

My son is here on a 30 day Visa Exemption (UK Passport) and needs to extend (he will later move to an ED, but the paperwork is not ready).
Where can this be done now, only in CW? Or is Imperial World still an option?
Or anywhere else except CW?
Thanks

I also sold mine after I had officially left Thailand, so I had reentered Thailand on a Visa Exemption, for 30 days. I had to make copies of my 30 Exemption and sign them, the new owner then took those the Vehicle Registration office for the transfer. I was not still in the country when he actually changes the registration, I had already departed (and the 30 days had expired). I also gave copies of my last official Visa from when I was living there.

1Well if this infogram is accurate, there are some very restrictive sections.
Either way, to the post I was responding to, there are some very narrow areas and bringing all out at once is not possible.

Why can't they bring them all out at the same time? 2 divers with 1 kid, and a couple meters behind 2 divers with another kid, and a couple meters behind....so they will all be out of there within 30-40 minutes of each other.
The passages are very narrow in some places, here is a clip from the diving team:

My son has a one year ED Visa which expires this week.
He would like to stay in Thailand for a few weeks more.
Can he go to CW and obtain some form of non ED Visa / extension or a Visa Waiver, for 30 days? If so, what Visa would he apply for?
Many thanks

This looks like the classic scam where she will be contacted by a Thai speaking person, claiming to be from Immigration, then asked to pay duty on the package.
If she plays along and get's contacted, she should report the phone number and bank account details of the local caller to the Police.
Doubt she has any real issues as long as she has not shared any bank account details.
Suggest she cease all communication or, as thedemon suggests, she/you could have a little fun playing along for a while.

It's a pity that they do not invest time looking for the high-powered people that are running the Online Gambling. Wonder why that is?

I would like a few small jobs done in my condo, but have no contacts for a general builder.
I would prefer a recommendation from someone who has actually had work done, as I know the market is fraught with potential issues.
If you can recommend a reasonably-priced general builder (some stud-wall, electrical, decorating works), I would be grateful.

How much would they charge for receiving britsh pounds from my normal Uk bank account ?
I also agree that the best way to transfer funds is through Transferwise.
In your case, they will take a local payment of GBP to a UK bank and they will pay THB from a Thai Bank to your Thai bank. You know the transfer rate upfront, no other fees to be added. Faster than usual international transfers too.
I send money every month to Thailand, this saves me a fortune.

Pity you did not put so much effort into looking at the link and the pics there, as you did with your mindless comment.
No shorts at the funeral.

I have used Maybank Kim Eng Trading online for many years, very good site and some good daily newsletters.
Can transfer funds from most major Thai banks, but Paypal not listed.

I had understood, perhaps mistakenly, that is was not a specific unit within a Condo block that is designated a 'Foreign Quota', but that any unit in a block can be Foreign Quota, provided there is no more than 49% at any one moment.

How sad that they even have to do this.
If the Police cannot be bothered to enforce it on the roads, why bother on the 100m of road leading to the DoT?
Helmet laws are a farce in Thailand.
Nothing will change until the Police take this seriously.

PNH Entry Visa (I am on a UK Passport) can vary greatly. I was there two months ago and it was all done in about fifteen minutes, I was there last week and it took a little more than an hour. Down to luck of the timing of arrival versus other flights.

Directly a woman agrees to be alone with a man, that's consent, and that's sensible.
My Thai wife understands that, my 19 year old daughter understands that.
What a mindless thing to say!
Going to a guys room does not, in any circumstances, mean consent! Being alone with a guy is not consent!
You appear to have a very strange and troubled view of the world, according to the bizarre statements you have contributed so far in this.

My son is 17 and he has just passed his bike test in Sukhumvit. He got a two-year validity Licence.
If you are located in Bangkok and need help with paperwork and test etc, these guys helped us and did a good job.

Not sure as to the reasons this made position two in the list, but I spend several days each month, for the past year, in Yangon and I have never experienced any issues in any part of the city.
Great place and in general, great people.

22 hours ago, EricTh said:Thailand should thank the Chinese for shedding its sex capital image which the Americans and Europeans gave them.
The non-Thai areas of Patpong, Nana, Cowboy etc are just the minuscule tip of the sex industry iceberg in Thailand, 90% of which is Thai-only, has been around for hundreds of years and, continues to thrive.
It would be very naive to believe that the Americans and Europeans developed this business here...

Possibly because they have to do a Document check, Visa etc.
ED Extension when starting with a Visa Waiver
in Thai Visas, Residency, and Work Permits
Posted
My Son has just arrived and obtained a 30 Day Visa Waiver, on a UK Passport.
We have documents from School for a one year ED Extension.
I seem to remember from the past, that it is not possible to go from a Visa Waiver straight to an ED, and that something else has to happen first?
What is the best and most easy route, now he is here, to get the ED Extension? If I can, I would like to limit his trips to CW to one, but I seem to remember from the past that he will need to go twice?
