Hi everyone!
I must say I get a lot out of this website. Especially the Teaching English forum. However, now I am indeed in a bit of a pickle and am in urgent need of advise.
I know there will be many people who will look hard on me for overstaying for so long, but please just hear me out.
I've spent almost 5 and a half yrs teaching in Bangkok. It has been one of the most positive experiances of my life. Much better than dreary Australia. I have not really worried about getting a proper visa, because from what I've heard there is just too much paperwork and hassle involved. Also, it's too time consuming to to a Visa run. (More time for the bars and bitches)!!! Anyways, I think it's great that Thailand has the "pay 20,000 baht before you leave" policy.
However, unfortunatley due to family reasons I have to go back to Sydney for a week quite soon. The best options I can think of to get me out of this mess is as below:
1. Lose my passport and get a replacement, which would therefore waive the 20,000 hassle.
2. When I go to the airport to leave, I could possibly tell immigration officials that I have been of poor health.
3. Go to the immigration office before I fly out and pay them there.
Is there anything else that anyone thinks could help me? I will only be going back to Australia for a week at most. After this I will be coming straight back to Thailand. I've also heard that if you pay the 20,000 Baht Fee, you can certainly come back into the country again.
I would really appreciate everyone's input.
Thanks.
