We just took some friends to Trang immigration to extend their tourist visas, something that has never been an issue in the past. They are refusing them until they get written conformation from the resort they are staying at. Their holiday has just been ruined by a miserable woman that just wants to create problems. I have NEVER heard such BS in the 20 years I have lived here.
Is this the way it is now? Tourists wanting extensions have to provide written paperwork from the resort they are staying at? Way to go immigration!
Now they have to leave. Those 2 weeks extra would see money back into the Thai economy and all they do is make it difficult.
Anyone else know about this?
update. They told them the resort has to apply for them online. No words on this one. They want people back and they do stupid S""t like this. Luckily we know the resort owners and are now trying to work out how to do this online. What a joke. get the press involved and make them look like the idiots they are!
