ok, thanks- this seems like the most seamless way and i appreciate your reply.

hi guys, sorry if this is redundant as i couldn't find the specific answer i was looking for.

i am going to be coming to bkk around mid june.

I was wanting to stay approximately 60 days.

I was wondering the easiest/best way to go about this.

I thought, i heard nowadays that it was easy to just fly in and get the 30 day stay for free, and then extend it while still in the ctry for 30 more days?

is this correct? or should i just go ahead and get a 60 day tourist visa?

Also, if the first is correct. How do I explain my exit ticket, 60 days out, if I haven't done the extension yet. Because I assume u always need to show your exit strategy.

Hope this makes sense.

Thanks in advance for any info/insight

looking for any insight on a serviced apt for a couple of months that is fairly priced with a western bed, and maybe some sliding doors for the bedroom to be quieter.. can anyone give me some insight on this.. most of the places i usually stay in bangkok have the firm beds and walls are paper thin.. maybe this is the norm but just looking for any help.

thanks in advance

I always thought this would happen in bkk. some areas like bang kapi/happyland have some of the biggest rats because every night they just throw a half torn garbage bag full of food out on the sidewalk.. the huge rats come out and forage on this like its a meal.. If you walk down the sidewalk at night, its like dodging small cars. The restaurants in that area, have rats all in them.. Hope this makes them start to think about the sanitation in these areas. love bkk but this has been coming for awhile..

They will end up going with China because it's cheaper, but they should instead be partnering with Japan and attempting to set up a low cost production base for Japanese companies as they have with automobiles. China will want everything built in China and will only sell it to Thailand.

That's because the Chinese, as usual, are very greedy people. Big on receiving, but small on giving. When will OZ, NZ, CND and the US wake-up?

china is taking over saipan's economy right now/

Don't rush this. You need to check with the local Work office, they may accept your application and once approved give you a letter of approval. With that you go to a consulate to get non-imm B visa. Then with that the work office would give you the actual work permit.

thks so much for the advice man, yea, im not rushing but my job surely is at my expense. when u say "local work office" are u saying a different sub type immigration work office in bkk or my job that i am going to be working with.

Thanks

ok, so im pretty sure i need to go to immigration and cancel ed visa,

Just wanted to get some opinions/insghts on making sure I am doing the right thing here. I have been told I need to cancel my education visa by the school. Then get out of the ctry by that cancelled date. ( sept. 10 ) Then I am going to laos to get a 60 day toursist visa, come back to bkk, and then apply for work permit. Does this sound correct to anyone? Or

Do i need to cancel the ed visa at immigration in bkk? or is just getting the stamp out of the ctry alright?

Everything just changes and I dont want to be left in Laos.

Thanks

What PC bologna. Tigers and dolphins are not what's important in life at all, but everyone is saying they should be...really...like any of us has ever eaten a dolphin or fried tiger gonads. Sure, let's all do what we're told and nod our heads at the appropriate moments.....like that makes life better for us or the animals concerned. What drivel and utter crap. No. I refuse to be a robot for BS arguments. All the PETA idiots can now go back to patting each other on the back and being successful at trying to censor all debate under the cloying blanket of false altruism. Congratulations -- you stifled free expression better than Stalin ever did -- and for all the right reasons too. I protest. I disagree, and I I hate anyone who mouths such platitudes. The quotes are from people who make their living from being spokespersons for correctness, and they, themselves contribute nothing -- a last cull of such conservation nuts found that not a single one had ever made a cash donation to the causes they rant about...I guess the logic is "I get paid to do this, why should I contribute? I'm your hero -- you pay me."

Yeah, right. It is all minimalist BS aimed to make people feel like they are doing something. Raising awareness does not tie a baby's shoes.

I don't eat sentient animals, including dolphins and whales and primates. But roast some mutton, beef or chicken and I am there with no guilt. I am not accepting guilt for being an omnivore. No way, no how, and piss off with the pseudo-religious arguments.

I like being human, with all of it's contradictions and difficulties...but push comes to shove, if the choice is my little girl or the one-eyed barfing beetle...the beetle has to go. Get over it -- thaat's never going to change. Ever. And not for any of the hypocrits bleating to save all cute animals either.

Animal rights actrvists never care about human beings, that's too complicated, so they latch onto the easiest and most socially lazy approach altogether and embrace the new pastoral conceit,

Blah! We should all puke...and then eat some more beef (maybe vomitoriums are needed now more than ever

narcissism at its best

now i need to know if the #'s need to be in the same order. I got all the #'s for the fourth prize but they are not in the specific order

can farang win the lottery? or do you have to be native thai?

I see the logic on wanting to stop overstayers.  Although, I think if you look at the statistics, I could be wrong, but I think a lot of the overstayers are from neighboring countries.   I highly doubt these people are going to be stopped for their passports.  I would perceive that it would probably be a fair skinned chap.  Also, the other farangs involved are the teachers.  Most of the teachers I have talked to, work with govt schools illegally.  Why is it that a govt school would hire someone illegally.   In saying, if they are asking for this type of regulation, lets hope its enforced/fair in all areas.  Although, Im not holding my breathe.  By the way, I always carry my passport with me anyways.  It doesnt bother me.  Although, If it was stolen or lost.  It would be a serious problem and lets hope theres some leniency on certain situations. 

great post,,
