    I've a friend coming on a METV, back in the day i used to do same day border runs to the Aranyaprathet/Poipet border every two months, is this still viable/possible from Bangkok? Thanks for any info.

    Cambodia crossings, pong nam ron or ban laem would be a better choice

    Maybe someone on here could explain to me my question because it has baffled me for years.

    Ever since living in Thailand I have done my extension of stay the "legitimate" way, over the years even though my paperwork as always been correct  I, and several of my friends have had no end of hassle, applying for our extension of stay. Why do people who go through the "non legitimate" never have any hassle?

    because they are giving a bribe

    Why are you using an agent? 

    because he is either lazy, or too important to go to immigration or has no 800,000thb

    See the pic showing how I'm leveling the ground. I'm sure the "pros" will have a lot to say about my "method" but here I am, I'm not a pro. As the surface is quite large, I built a series a ridges to the desired level and then filled in between. Where deep enough, I used blocks, red bricks and gross gravel to fill in as much space as possible before pouring in the mortar made from cement + sand + finer gravel.

     

    I know one could set up wooden planks by the sides to the desired level, but the ground was already hard cement so I could not do that.

     

    I've checked the link to the "Crocodile" brand, very useful, thanks!

    if that's the finished floor ready for tiles, you are not going to get a good finish with thin bed adhesive,

    well arent you a joy to be around

    sometimes <deleted> happens, circumstances change

    dont be such a nasty git

    he may be nasty, but he is correct the OP took out a 1 year contract and i would assume he received a discount in the monthly rent as opposed to the rent on signing a shorter contract, put yourself in the owners shoe, since renting out to the person that wants to cancel , he may have missed out on a better renter, deposits are to cover damage and the last electric bills etc, not 'oh a changed my mind'

    mate, the maoists are already exempt from the plan.....and a plan only it is too. I agree to the bloke above: very few tourists need 90 days and those who do will get a visa at the embassy. I was talking however about those of us who are here long term but still have to report on bail every 90 days and cannot drive to neighbouring provinces overnight for a round of golf without reporting back to wherever we came from (TM30). Otherwise 800 Baht for AWAL. Pure anachronism but.....jurassic park.

    which office make you do a fresh tm30 after one night in another province
