Yes, that's what I make it. 

Thanks a lot.

Hi there,

Could somebody with knowledge of these things please advise?

I entered Thailand on Nov 24 2019 with Non-Imm B from Laos - valid for 3 months until Feb 23 2020. My company processed work permit and then I left Thailand and re-entered on Jan 4 with re-entry permit to keep visa valid.  On 17 February my visa was extended for the first time ( an extra 9 months until Dec 2020), so am I correct in thinking that my 90 day reporting count starts on Feb 17 ( as this was my FIRST visa extension), not Jan 4 when I last returned to the country?

Thanks in advance.

I travel in and out of Riyadh 3/4 times a year and have never had flash drive/hard drive checked. I've not heard of any colleagues  that have either. My advice is don't worry, in fact it seems that King Khalid Airport is going through a bit of a facelift and the immigration personal are a lot friendlier and more efficient (in terms of speed).

thanks for quick reply

Just need some advice

I am currently working in the Middle East and travel back to Thailand 3 times a year (married with Thai wife). Using visa exemption hasn't been a problem before, but with the current crackdown on illegal workers i'm concerned it might become one. I am eligible for Non-Imm O, but obviously this incurs a cost (as well as paperwork) whereas exempts are free.

I've worked in Thailand before (7 years) with work permit without any issues. Will it be necessary to upgrade to a NonI-imm O just for 3 visits of between 2-4 weeks a year?

Cheers in advance for any advice.

Finally - note that CTH will not bring you Champions League matches (True Visions Gold or Platinum package), nor FA Cup or League Cup (some coverage on Thai public broadcasting).

I'm a West Ham fan, so Champions League not so important. And given our recent performances in cup competitions...

Cheers - all good stuff.

Thanks for the replies so far. I've found Richard Barrow's blog very useful in finding out about the options. I'm sure it's been posted before, but I'll include the links that i found useful. Maybe someone else will, too.

It looks like i'll probably go down the CTH route, with a grammy box for the World Cup. I'll inverst in an Android stick and test the IPTV options before committing to that one I think.

Cheers.

Thanks for your info.

Like you, I download a lot of torrents for movies, British Tv etc... Can you watch English Premier League on Sophon?

EDIT after doing a search I see Sophon is a cable company in Pattaya. I don't live there, so not an option for me. Do you watch English Premier League on IPTV and is the coverage any good?

Hi all

Moving to new house in a couple of months and thinking about my TV setup.

My main priorities are Premier League football and Thai TV for wifey, History channel and Nat Geo would be nice, although not essential.

I am thinking about CTH satellite or some kind of IPTV setup. I have looked at the Thai IPTV website and it seems to cater for what I want, but how is the reliability?

We'll probably have about 10mb Internet, but HD quality for the football is very important for me, so I'm probably leaning towards satellite. But I would like to hear from anyone with some firsthand experience.

Thanks in advance.

Went to immigration yesterday - all sorted no problems at all.

Thanks for your advice

Thanks

I hope somenone can give me some advice. I arrived on a 30 day stamp at the airport (British), which expires on July 4th. I'm not flying out until 17th August which means I need a 14 day extension. I'm planning to do an overland run to the border, but was wondering if there are any options? Is it possible to gain an extnsion at the immigration office(I am married to a Thai)? A trip there is a lot easier than the border.

Thanks in advance

Where did you guys get your respective machines? Looking for a good price here in Thai

bought mine in star computer centre rayong. paid about 15000 which included the keyboard/battery. the battery life on mine is absolutely fantastic. 7-8 hours for the tab and an extra 7-8 with the keyboard/battery. as said above the usb connection is very handy too.

I've had the Transformer 101 since 2011. Very happy with it - I use it for a lot reading and all my Internet surfing at work. It can be slow when multi-tasking but for watching movies, Kindle, surfing, I would recommend. I find myself using it as a netbook at work and a tablet at home.

It is showing its age a bit now, but I have no need to upgrade yet, and when I do I will certainly consider the newer models.

Hope this helps

Thanks for that.

What would be the best option(s) in terms of security for a non-Thai husband married to Thai wife when owning land/property? The plan is the land/house will be in the wife's name, but what are the best options for me: usufruct or is there some other procedure?

I'm thinking mainly of protecting myself if something happened to the wife, but all eventualities being covered would be preferable. Any advice from experienced individuals would be most appreciated.

'Our dentition evolved for processing starches, fruits, and vegetables, not tearing and masticating flesh. Our oft-cited "canine" teeth are not at all comparable to the sharp teeth of true carnivores.  I lecture to over 10,000 dentists, dental hygienists, and oral specialists every year, and I always ask them to show me the “canine” teeth in a person’s mouth – those that resemble a cat’s or dog’s teeth – I am still waiting to be shown the first example of a sharply pointed canine tooth.If you have any doubt of the truth of this observation then go look in the mirror right now – you may have learned to call your 4 corner front teeth, “canine teeth” – but in no way do they resemble the sharp, jagged, blades of a true carnivore – your corner teeth are short, blunted, and flat on top (or slightly rounded at most).  Nor do they ever function in the manner of true canine teeth.  Have you ever observed someone purposely favoring these teeth while tearing off a piece of steak or chewing it?  Nor have I.  The lower jaw of a meat-eating animal has very little side-to-side motion – it is fixed to open and close, which adds strength and stability to its powerful bite.  Like other plant-eating animals our jaw can move forwards and backwards, and side-to-side, as well as open and close, for biting off pieces of plant matter, and then grinding them into smaller pieces with our flat molars'

Sorry for the long post, but it certainly is not indisputable. We are natural plant eaters. To say otherwise is to ignore the best evidence there is: - our bodies.

I am shocked when people who consume meat (flesh of dead animals which is subjected to putrefying bacteria as soon as the organism dies besides being an inhuman practice) talk about body odour of many Indians who consume a diet free of flesh.

You are so uninformed, I find it funny. Eating meat is inhuman? Don't think so. The evidence is sitting there in your mouth. It's called teeth.

We have canine teeth which only carnivores have. For the record, we are omnivores and our teeth prove it.

Our teeth are nothing like teeth of carnivores. They are'canine' in name only. In fact most of the evidence we have is that our teeth are more like herbivores than anything else. Take a look at a chimpanzee's teeth. They are 95% herbivore. Carnivore's jaws have little to no lateral movement, compare that to ours.
