About 9.00 arrived at immigration chonchom.

Just for information it is not Chong Chom that is the crossing about 12km further south and it is closed. Surin Imigration is in Kap Choeng. Get well.

When I talked to them May 14 at (267 941 1000)  my check was sent out May 1 and I was told it would take 6 weeks to get to me, I will wait tell about 16 July to call them back IF I have not received it.

There is no date on the envelope, but the check itself is dated May 1st,  so it took about 1 month to get here.

More like 6 weeks.

Already been invented.

Waste not want not. This bovine was divided up amongst the locals.

This part went in the stew pot.

Another scum poll and article.

Although, I just sent two separate address mailings to the US through ThaiPost by courier. Arrived in a few days.

What courier as this link from NotTheNation says NFG only by sea.  

Courier Post service will be available to 107 destinations while Logispost World will be available to 31 destinations. Details are available here.

“One hundred from the United States, 80 from South Korea, and four from Tunisia will arrive at Suvarnabhumi Airport at 10.40pm, 10pm, and 8.55am, respectively,” he said."

NFG for Canada and USA. Only by sea.

Just out. Must read.

Are we going around in circles here because we're talking about different phone numbers? I'm talking about 267-941-1000, the general number for international inquiries, not a special number for stimulus payment questions.

That is the number that forum member andy gave out and it is the number. You can see my response  

That other number was given to me the the first time and I played along.. It turned out to be computerized BS. I called back the second time to  2679411000 and  was able to get my answer. The first time I got through I am under the impression that the lady had not a clue and that is why she put me over to the 1-800 number. The second time the lady took her time with me AND was able to get results. Take your time and do not give up. That lady was able to confirm my name, ssa number, mailing address in Thailand.

This is from my post..

I just talked to the IRS on the number that forum member "andy" gave out. (Thanks again) It did take two calls but I was able to give and get info. The lady I talked to was in Pennsylvania. After she understood where I was and what I wanted she verified over the phone my name, my SS# and my Thai address. I was told that the check was mailed to me at my Thai address May 1. I did fill 2018 but not 2019. As for the the usage of the IRS sit here in Thailand I still say its is NFG and very politely I let her know that and she did confirm that they have problems. I don't look for the check any earlier than the ended of next week. My experience with depositing a US Government check was to Bangkok Bank 2008 and it was instantly accredited to my account. That number again 267-941-1000 Be patient and it does work.

1. You can use it to find out if your payment has been done.

I know that my payment was mailed out May 1st. By contacting the IRS @ 2679411000 and talking with a live voice I was able to get information. The address it is being sent to is identical in every means to info that the IRS and SSA has on me. That same info is NOT accepted by get your payment.. That site may work for some but it does not work for all. If you wont info you need to make a call as imo that site is nfg.????????
