buy new and get a good deal, is the best way

they charge a lot here for second hand because they can.

The English disease. Many of the union leaders left the UK after the Thatcher era to continue their disruptive practices in Australia.

73 posts before the uk gets trashed, that must be a record.

Qantas have always been too expensive for my travel plans to thailand from the uk, let virgin take over the route.

Wow two streets in the whole of Bangkok, what a joke, yes lets all run.........

Where are you??

maybe she has had a new passport issued since the incident and the old one cancelled by cutting the corner, the dates stamped into her passport look like the beginning of october

This is not a commercial proposition. I just thought that since I had 6 cabins, someone, in need, might be able to use them for temporary housing. I'm sure with all the flooding and moving many might be at a finacial crisis point also and need a place to hang their hats. Families are welcome.

Its just me and my Thai wife on 6 rai with 6 cabins and building the office restaurant is in process. So we are not open for buisness. I hope this makes it clear to all what my intentions are. Rick

what a nice generous offer

with friends like these you don't need enemies

maybe his friends in the pictures could form a splinter group....

Yes, always a good time, if it turns out Bangkok is under water plenty of places which won't be, only kidding

The day of arrival is counted as day one, so you should be stamped in until the 24th December, a 30 day extension should take you until the 23rd January,but not sure is the extension will start on the 24th or the 25th, so departing on the 24th could give you a one day overstay,but could be 2 days, having read threads on here a one day overstay is not charged for, but an overstay stamp will be given. a 2 day overstay will cost 1000baht.

Do you arrive on the 26th for sure as most flights from Europe arrive next day,just a simple observation.

the 25th Feb - 25th April is 60 days

duhh! honestly saying i have read the all replies in this topic, so i have came up with the decision of getting a multiple TR here in my country before i go back to thai....i was thinking of coming first on VOA then after that leaving the country to get TR in one of the land neighboored cities. but according to the informations here,, this seems to be not a good idea anymore...i been reading all over the internet about visa runs, this trips are meant to be a real hassle. as i planing to stay not more than 6 months. good deal if i get double TR here!...

so my opinions are about news docs which must be shown, a real pain in the tummy,, not good for thus who keeps doing the visa runs to stay more in a long term within the country. good luck for everyone!... keep safe

why would you think about entering Thailand on a VOA instead of getting the correct visa in your home country, a double or three entry visa, I think that most of the problems caused, are by people not getting the correct visa prior to leaving their home country, or failing to plan ahead for the trip.

non imm o' multi entry are still being issued in the uk, for persons married to thai nationals, and for over 50's with enough income proof.£900, OR proof of receiving pension.

why should thailand issue, multiple tourist visa's, a tourist is a tourist. stay in thailand for 3 to 6 months, which is easy, and then stay somewhere else for 3 to 6 months, thats a tourist. Try staying in the uk on repeat tourist visa's,

Thanks for the heads up phil

Hi Phil

i have subscribed and set up altbinz, i have connected ssl trying both ports as shown on the e-mail, unable to connect, are you connected using ssl?

now connected usinp port 119, none ssl

The yearly non imm o multi entry can be obtained yearly, they will cancel the old one if it is still valid, and then issue a fresh one. this would entail three border runs each 11 month visit.

the costs are - 5000baht for visa from home country vs 1900baht,extension at immigration, + 2300baht income letter, +3900baht multi re-entry permit.

the other thing is if you do regular border runs using your re-enty permit, the 90day reporting clock would be reset each re-entry.

but as lopburi3 posted the easy way while it fits in with your plans, is to obtain a non imm o multi entry visa. thats the way i would go, but we all have different thoughts.

65,000baht per month or 800,000baht in Thai bank account or a combination of the two will get you a one year extension of stay based on retirement, obtain a non imm o visa in your home country and then extend in Thailand

As already posted by mario2008 to sum up - your options are to re-enter thailand before the 20th October, using your visa and get a one year permission to stay stamp, or to re-enter after the 20th october, having obtained a re-entry permit either single for 1000baht or a multi for 3900baht, you would then get a permission to stay stamp until 20th july, it would all depend on your plans for next year.

On what date did you enter to get this stamp " admitted untill 18 March 2012".?? as in your original post you said you been out of the country recently

Just a side but the British transport police look after people traveling on the rail network ie trains, they do not deal with road traffic accidents, unless they occur on a rail line.

my thoughts are with the injured.

you can apply in bangkok and they will return takes 5 days , my wife did it recently, just remember to keep old one with the FLR.

your best bet would be to apply for a double entry tourist at the beginning of November, you will be covered for both trips and the 90 expiry should not be a problem, the cost involved is small.

its form tm30 here -tm30.doc

Would it not be easier to convert your 30 day stamp to a non 'o' locally see here -

and then apply using the normal method for a 1 year extension of stay based on your income if, it is 35,000 baht per month,

and then obtain a multi entry re-enty permit

the uk government also send out letters, to confirm you are still alive for state pension, Certificate of existence

did you have a reentry permit??

British: fierce, fearless, fighters. The reason? British food - the lads have no will to live.

Yes, nice one.

However, you do acknowledge we are fierce, fearless fighters........too bad your lot don't eat our food.

some people fingers type before the brain is engaged, R.I.P .no one should die like that.
