That's called social security fund benefit. Thailand doesn't have 'unemployment benefits' as we know in the West. Get your terms right.

 Get your terms right, please. You are so wrong.

not in every country in Europe you get it on the same day

 Okay, in the "old European countries" you usually do get it on the same day. 

        I get a Non-O- Multiple Entry based on marriage on the same day at the Thai Consulate in Stuttgart by only showing my marriage certificate. That wouldn't work that easy at the Thai embassy in Frankfurt. 

   Completely different to a Thai embassy.

you lost 2000 rs. around 1000 bahts.
anyway come to Thailand on a visa waiver and go to lao.
this is what I do because I don't trust the thai embassies in Europe anymore. they all have a high nose attitude.
they ask for this and that and I stress too much at the end.
last time they sent me back my application asking me for employment contract and I have to apply 1 month in advance and then wait 2 weeks to get the visa, if I receive the visa, If... .

yeah sure! if I was working in my home country i would not be able to to go to Thailand for more than 3 or 4 weeks. duh!

just easier to go to lao and get your visa there. in Lao, no if if and if.... u come, u give your passport and next day you pickup your visa.

 

 

  I have no idea what you're talking about. It's so easy to go to a Thai Consulate in a European country and receive a TV on the same day. 

  All visas in India are issued by the Thai embassy in Dehli. Please see:

     http://www.vfs-thailand.co.in/Delhi/tourist.html

      Something that I might never understand is why foreigners in Thailand seem to be the biggest enemies of other foreigners.

These are not the type of people you want to get on the wrong side of. The father works maintaining the water ways in BKK and the son was not long released from jail, you get in their face or make them loose face all my trees and the house will be destroyed, then never be able to visit the place again

 

Already had a issue with them cutting through my land, their excuse they have been there longer than us got a lawyer friend to talk to them and then the father was doing voodoo near the fence line, strange objects and incense. 

 

 Voodoo them in typical Hawaiian style.

Because agents in Penang are well connected to the consulate and if they say they can get a fourth then there is a high chance they can. The stamp is advisory.

 

IMO going to Vientiane increases the chance of being denied a visa because, although they didn't issue the 3 visas or the stamp, they have been known to decline visas with that stamp in the passport. It is unknown how they would react to a stamp issued elsewhere, but I wouldn't take the chance when an option still exists in Penang.

 

I believe that once that stamp is in the passport, issued by any embassy/consulate, it increases the chances of being denied anywhere.

 

 Which does make sense.

Retirement visa/extensions is the easiest, and cheapest, option for an extended stay. Your biggest problem is you have two kids to educate. It's  all about money as "tonray" pointed out. If I had my time again I wouldn't do anything different, cos, altho I made lots of mistakes I had wonderful experiences. Just remember, reading a book on boxing won't teach you how to box.

 

 

 

 But you might already know that "legwork" is a very important part for a boxer. 

In the last 20 days this has happened to me 5 more times!  I caught each one.

           That's reason enough for the Guinness book of World records. Is there something carved into your forehead? It never happened to me in 15 years.

Even though he has brought his education document with him, but I agree that translating and legalizing process is a big hassle.

Thanks a lot for summing up the best choice regarding the embassy. I will have a talk with the new employee whether he prefer going through the process of legalize his education docco or going to Laos..

 

 

When I went to Thailand for the first time and visited the consulate in Stuttgart/Germany, the employees told me to apply for a Non- B when I mentioned that I wanted to stay longer.

      It took 12 minutes and I left the consulate with a one year Non-B visa, without showing any documents.

    The good old times are unfortunately over. 

It would have been very easy to obtain a Non-B visa at a Thai consulate back in his country of origin.

if the customers code still opens the safe, thats proof that the hotel has not overridden and wiped the code. if what the customer is sayin is true then the customer would go to open the safe and his code would no longer work. 

 

 That's a good way to proof how reliable the Aussies' accusation was. OP, make a few days holiday somewhere else, even standing behind the reception is considered work.

I agree that it is difficult to recommend anywhere without having any idea of what the op is in to doing, so here is what I did my first time here.

When I first came to Thailand I stayed on the khao san rd and after a couple of days I decided that I didn't want to go to the same places as a lot of the people there were going to, I simply opened the lonely planet guide and went to whatever page I opened it on, it was Nong Khai.

Back then I couldn't speak any thai so I went to the northern bus terminal and bought a ticket to Udon Thani as I for some reason couldn't get a ticket to Nong Khai, the journey was somewhat evenful as between Khon Khan and Udon we had an accident as the bus was playing chicken with a lorry nobody was hurt but the one side of the front window was smashed when we went of the road. After a short time we continued the journey to Udon then changed to Nong Khai.

I don't know what Nong Khai would be like now as this was before they even started to build the bridge, but I really liked it, I stayed at the Mutmee guesthouse and met a couple kiwi lads that I had met in Bangkok, we had a great time there and I stayed a week as I had met a local girl by then. I ended up taking her with me and we went to Loei and Chaing kaen before going to Chaing Mai, when it was time for me to go back to Bangkok for my flight she went back to Nong Khai .

Back then I really liked the issan and travelled a lot more around the area on my next couple of visits, to me it seemed I was getting a more cultural experience than what I would have got on one of the islands, the local people appeared to be friendlier as there wasn't a lot of tourists and I ended up drinking with local people a lot as they would just invite you into the homes to drink, eat and talk, by my third visit to Thailand I could speak quite a bit of thai and a bit of lao as I had learned a lot more as a lot of people didn't speak much English I was also a lot younger and could pick things up easier then.

These days I still like the issan and was in Ubon in February as the Mrs parents come from this area, but I also like to spend time in Koh Chang and the islands around there, we also found a place in January called Ban Grood in Pratcuap Kiri Khan province which we really liked, we were only going to spend a day or 2 there but ended up there a week and we will definitely go back there as it is our type of place, nice and relaxed with a beautiful beach and an impressive temple on the northern part of the beach.

I tend to stay away from places like Pattaya and Phuket as that is no longer my type of scene, but a lot of people coming to Thailand love these places so I suppose it is horses for courses.

Thailand has a lot to offer depending on what you want to do or see and I have had great times all over, it all comes down to yourself and what you want to do or see.

    Alzheimer's a disease, so no worries, mate. 

we also found a place in January called Ban Grood in Pratcuap Kiri Khan province which we really liked,

               The place is called Ban Krut, and sometimes spelled Bankrud. Prachuap Khiri Khan, yes, more precisely near Bangsaphan Noi. A nice fishermen resort village where you can try to catch some squid with them and bbq them afterwards.

  Even the trains stop at this little place. Really worth to visit. A Buddha on a little mountain and nice beaches. Good seafood and time means nothing.

As I said before go and troll elsewhere as you have nothing to offer this thread.

 

Your poor choice of fish and chip shop in London is your fault too.

 

I bet you had a lovely time whinging your way around the UK.

 

I can only hope it was cold and wet.

Learn to cook Thai food. It's not that hard.

 

The simplest dish to begin with is probably Larb.

 

Mince some chicken or pork.

Cook it in just enough stock or water so it doesn't burn. Take it off the heat.

Mix it with fish sauce, lime juice, chopped shallots and dried red chilis

Add chopped mint, green onions and cilantro.

Garnish with holy basil and eat with rice.

 

 

 

Sorry, but the guy wants to know where a Thai restaurant is and not how to make some nasty rubbish. Not all here eat Larb. 

   I apologize if you're working as a cook helper at a Thai restaurant in London. But not  the London in Canada,

Babies can't be on an overstay.

I am one of them, loud noise makes the constant beep tone even more problematic. When the music is really too loud I need to move away. Happens all the time, as many posters on this topic already replied, not much can be done. Sometimes I ask politely to turn down the volume but without much success...I am not going to plug out amplifiers or loudspeakers for that matter, what a terrible way to represent expats in Thailand! Loud noise is indeed a problem but for me not enough reason to move out.
