  1. Why these places don't make customers take off their masks (and hats at times) while entering a store for a second while their cameras get a shot of them, still amazes me! 

     

    We do it at immigration and no big deal.

     

    "Hi. welcome to my shop, that's a beautiful mask you have......now let me show you my gold and diamonds worth millions"

  3. Not a fan of them myself but a friend asked me if anyone knew of any companies that build/sell/deliver Teak Knock-Downs?  He is just east of Korat near Ban Hua Tam Nob, Nong Bunnak, and found 3 companies, in Kalasin, Roi Et, and Ang Thong, but all require a 4:00-4:30 hour drive and wondering if anyone knew any companies closer to him / the Korat area?  Told him Google was his friend but he only found these 3 locations.  Any help would be appreciated.

    You got lucky because if you get denied entry for any reason then the airline foots the bill on your return. You may find this method not working in the future as having prefilled paperwork is no guarantee it will be accepted nor do airlines know the regs on extensions, but do know what happens if denied.  

    Thanks and yes, done this my last 2 times here. I actually thought it was odd too doing it this way but they actually told me to do this from the Thai office in Ottawa so did as they suggested.  

  5. Came in on a 60-day E-Visa last year and 90 day ticket.  I didn't even wait for them to ask me in Canada or at the Immigration counter in Bangkok and with my ticket, presented the extension paperwork I would take to Pattaya / Jomtien Immigration before the 60-day ran out.   I had printed off the on-line form with all my information filled out to show them I knew the process and was even told in Canada, with a smile, that this wasn't my first time doing this......and they were correct!

  6. Went last year for a 30 day extension, showed up on time and showed the guy at the door the appointment and let me right in to the area and was only about 15 mins in and out.  Mind you the day before I was there for quite a while (2-3 hrs) and I had some paperwork my landlord had forgotten to give me the day before and so I had already started the process but the online appointment worked fine for me.   

  7. Went here a year ago November for a 4 piece bridge and over 2 months and more than 1/2 the cost it would have been in Canada (we are getting free dental eventually slowly easing law in with age/phases but not free for me yet). 

    Professional place and my dentist was western educated. 

    Will go back next week for one of my bi-annual cleanings.
