To be honest 3BB has been <deleted> for the last few months. They have even been disconnecting my line with the message "go to your nearest 3BB shop to pay your outstanding bill". I could understand this if I was behind with my bills but I am one month paid up ahead. Plus they have cut me off upto 4 days before the actual bill is due.

To be honest I think it is VERY VERY rare if you will not ever meet or hear about any Thai person who gets into a place of power to not abuse it for financial gain! I have lived here for over 10 years and I know that the director of a school I used to work at and his accounts/finance officer, were screwing the out of stupid amounts of money. Massage chairs, computers, flat screen TV's, new cars, all the money from the MOE or from parents tuition fees. I hated the fat, sweaty bastard!!

I remember years ago my father, myself and my brother having to deal with my mother going through the change. It was like walking on egg-shells around the house, we had to be on our best behaviour all the time or she would flip. One day I caught her just crying like hell for no reason, so we talked. In the end she went to see her doctor who put her in contact with a specialist for the menopause. She was given hormonal medicine to counter the effects and it worked. A few years later she did not need to use them anymore and she pretty much returned to normal. I would suggest the same thing. Suggest she see's a doctor, it will put you both back on the right path.

It's not just TOT. I am on 3BB, 10 Mb line and it is lagging. Not only lagging but also for the last year they have cut me off 2-4 days before the bill is due to be payed. I could understand if the name was in a non-Thai persons name but it's not. My wife always always went the day was owed and payed at the shop. Now the bastards just sever your connection and when you have to go and pay, before the due date they leave you hanging for ages. Complete arse-wipe monkeys!!!!

I have a non-o re-entry visa from Savanakhet based on marriage so I get 90 days per crossing. This is now my second time to this crossing and the first time that I heard that they only accept Thai baht. For me it was no problem and luckily the same for the guy before me. At first he offered a $10 dollar note but was denied, so his wife found the Thai funds to pay. It is a reasonable quiet crossing point for foreigners that can check-in/out of Myanmar but best to have a heads up. NO MORE $$$$

Please give us some more info about NGO group. Without more info a lot of people are going to be skeptical about helping.

The staff are pretty good there, the office is a little bit too small. So if it is a busy day it can be rammed, nothing like at Chiang Mai office. It's almost next door to the Makro supermarket, so good if you want to kill 2 birds with one stone.

Not sure if this has been covered already but I thought I would just write this to let people know from my experience today. I went to Mae sot to cross over into Myawaddy. Again I had no problems but the guy before would have had problems as he was going to pay with American dollars. The immigration officer told him that they now ONLY accept baht. He had the money in baht to pay so not a big problem. I am guessing this is coming into force at all Myanmar borders, so make sure you are carrying baht to pay for the visa otherwise it could be a problem.

I hope this info helps.

Cheers!!

Another conundrum? Either he did die of natural causes or it was something he ingested. Either way RIP!

assistant might work, as this puts the applicant in a lower graded job in the eyes of the labour office. It would most likely not be accepted by the Thai Immigration though. Immigration would be the problem if you are applying for a Non-B extension, based on the documents from the school/labour office. I must admit, I am surprised when I know of people knocked back applying for a Non-B even though they have the right documents from the school and the local education office. The TCT (Krusapa) are the biggest bunch of idiotic, useless branch of the Thai bureaucracy I have come across..................

Why are these refuges even entitled to monetary benefits, no one asked them to come to a country??? They are given shelter and food, until they are processed and accepted or not. They get a job and work like everyone else to support themselves. Natives of countries accepting these refuges are being treated worse than the refuges. Governments are raising taxes and cutting native peoples benefits to try and counter these cluster F&$K. Give it a year and there will be major problems with more rapes, killings and terrorist activities within Europe. I feel sorry for my family back home.

Years ago before getting married I would sometimes drop into one of these places. I have never had a problem but then again I make sure I give no reason for there to be a problem.

I am living just in the north and all it did today was rain. Our rainy season is not over yet but the temp today was great, with the rain it really dropped. I even had the shivers riding home this evening on the scooter and wished I had but on a sweater.

Perhaps you should read the thread. As the OP has a valid visa till April 2016 (after changing it 2 times) there is no need for an extension. Neither will he in any case get one doing a border run to Cambodia as mentioned. So I assume he meant the 90 days re-entry.

Anyway, you will figure it out, if he does not change the input data again . What still puzzles me is how he could get a work permit till September, when his visa is only valid till April

The work permit is linked to his contact with the school, not the visa. So if his contact states starts Oct 2015 - Sep 2016 that is what will be stated in his WP. Obviously his entry visa will have expired by then so he will need to get a new one out of country as he does not meet the requirements in-country. If you are on a Non-B visa with a WP then that is a different story, they are linked. He is on a Non-O so a different kettle of fish.

Why change your multi entry visa? Just keep doing the 90 day runs until you need to apply for a new multi entry visa out of country? I am doing the same and have a work permit, I also made sure that the school knew before hand that I would need to take off days to cross a border and they agreed to hire me. It's not that big a deal as long as both parties are honest.

What a joke! Ok, they are famous but they are taking pictures of themselves and some pictures include a drinks name. Are they actually putting a msg on saying drink Chang/leo/singha? Talk about trying to control everyone's lives. They are also wearing brand name clothes, is that a crime also?

I would love to be there to see it first hand if it ever came here to Thailand. The video would make a killing on youtube. But the sad truth is, like many other op's have pointed out they will soon just ignore it. If they installed a camera as well to take the license plate and a fine was enforced for using a disabled spot, maybe just maybe it would work.

I wonder if these will soon begin to affect people like myself getting a Non O multi entry visa without showing funds?? Will this be the next thing to change, I hope not.

Bitch please!! You are no better than Indonesia!

Grow some lemon grass in pots and place them around your place. Mozzies can't stand the stuff. It's more natural and your wife can use it as well for cooking. I must be a mozzy as I can not stand the taste of lemon grass. Good luck and keep away from the chemicals as much as you can.

I bloody hope so, otherwise I will not be staying here. I applied last April and it was all good, hopefully no one F*%ks it up as this is the only way to get a Non-O without the money in the bank.

I had the same thing happen to me at Nan immigration. I was making my first Non-O marriage application. When we were about all wrapped up the IO informed my wife that I should have 3,000 baht ready in an envelope for when the IO's did the house check. I did as asked but I was way from happy about doing it. Plus the fact I had to go all the way back to their office 30 days later to get the stamp, so more money and time just spent just to get the stamp these visiting IO's should be able to do when they are happy that everything is good. This is Thailand's goose that lays the golden egg, they don't won't us here but know that without us they will be bankrupt. The problem is some of the IO's just get greedy and want more, now look at what happened at the Cambodian border and what some ones greed has caused.

Interesting. I thought for a moment it was going to be Jon Stewart and the daily show.

1,000 baht per croc??? Bugger that low pay for crocodile hunting. I would expect a minimum 50,000 baht per croc.

We all wanted less homework when we were at school. What happened?? We did the bloody homework because that's what your supposed to do. I must admit my mum had to sometimes use parental control to make sure I did it, but it was done. To be honest primary school kids should not have mobile phones, if they do, the home room teacher should collect them and if there is a call from a parent take appropriate action regarding the call. At high school/ university the students should be able to keep their phones but if they are being misused during class they receive minus points that go towards there end of year scores. I know, I am living a dream and it will never happen but that's my stand point on this.
