Crime Ex-Air Hostess Claims £1.5M Drug Stitch-Up in Sri Lanka
edwardflory replied to snoop1130's topic in Thailand News
The bags weighed almost as much as she (100+pounds -US weight ) weighs. No way a person could NOT feel the weight difference even with a wheeled suitcase. Several bags on a short trip, yeah right!!! Too many things do not add up especially the stated reason of only a "short trip" -
Early 90 Day Report
edwardflory replied to lykes2fly's topic in Thai Visas, Residency, and Work Permits
DEPENDING on ""LOCAL"" OFFICE POLICY, you might have to also file a NEW TM-30 since you left the country. My "LOCAL" office requires - 1st hand knowledge as my TM-47 was refused until I filed a new TM-30 after my trip outside Thailand. Check with your LOCAL IO for THEIR policy -
How to tell if you're dealing with a MAGA folk?
edwardflory replied to StandardIssue's topic in Political Soapbox
Although IN THEORY, not a Democrat, but traveling the country with AOC, saying how bad the MAGA / REPUBLICANS are, and how they benefit ONLY the """rich"' a sample of his lifestyle is presented: https://share.newsbreak.com/d2mmg9ag -
You can also use a 2 SIM TABLET, but I use via WiFi. I get same price as using mobile. Its a lot easier to read a tablet. Buy a tablet, LAZADA under 1,500bt, and it is also a backup if your mobile gets broken.

"""So if you were not over 60 or disabled your S**T out of luck as far as your 10,000 goes...Which by the way means most of the Thai population...""" This says it all. Younger folks have the advantage of YOUTH and more employment opportunity. OLDER folks mostly live on a FIXED INCOME and, in my opinion, would be better served with the 'digital wallet" .... that could equal 2 months of food ( a major expense )

When is my 90 day report due?
edwardflory replied to pub2022's topic in Thai Visas, Residency, and Work Permits
""they are implemented as two different data processing systems that are not interconnected and do not talk to each other."" It ALL depends on the LOCAL OFFICE POLICIES. At MY office, your TM-47 must match your TM-30. Also, if returning from OUT of country, you must file a NEW TM-30 even returning to same address. 1st hand knowledge. 90 day report a IMMIGRATION WEBSITE The way I read it, the offcer was wrong what was told you. https://uttaradit.immigration.go.th/en/notification-of-staying-in-the-kingdom-for-more-than-90-days/ -
When is my 90 day report due?
edwardflory replied to pub2022's topic in Thai Visas, Residency, and Work Permits
90-day report (TM47) is due when one PHYSICALLY STAYS in Thailand for 90 consecutive days Day 1 is WHEN you pass immigration. Most offices will allow you to do a TM-47 up to 5 days early. ALL paperwork depends on LOCAL IO policy, ASK your LOCAL IO what their policy is, be safe. -

"""Yes a holiday resort area catering to tourists should obviously be speaking English""" Why not CHINESE, Japanese, Spanish, German or another language. Why just English? .... The 2 most spoken languages in the world, and much business is conducted mostly in ENGLISH and CHINESE .... My landlord does NOT speak English ( landlord of 3 years and village headman ) hello GOOGLE TRANSLATE. Works for both of us.

My niece ( via marriage ) and her boyfriend had a fabulous idea to take over a restaurant for 100,000bt. ( I am the only farang in family of 6 siblings ) I ask the niece: How much rent, How much utilities, How old is equipment, what inventory is included ....she couldn't answer.... Ok, so I decided to go to the restaurant and count customers. Located on a major soi, NO parking, Walked passed ...5... other restaurants to get to shop. From 11:30 to 13:30 ... 6 LUNCH TIME customers ( 2 were wife and me ) Our cost for our meal 120bt including 2 water bottles. Need I say more? I saw no future.

"""Except if the visitor is a non Thai the landlord is responsible for lodging the TM 30 is he not?""" In this case the person renting or in POSSESSION of the condo is 1) House Master, 2) Possessor, 3) Tenant IS responsible for the TM-30 The landlord is NOT responsible for the tenants visitors TM-30
-
The person in physical control of the place ( the condo ) where the foreigner stays IS responsible for a TM-30 within 24 hours. Read the Immigration Act Sections 4 & 38 Let's look at my LOCAL IO POLICY: So I leave the country next month on holiday, I return and file the new """ELECTRONIC TM-6""" ( address where I will stay ) 3 days before entry, I return to my SAME ADDRESS of 4+ years - LOCAL POLICY says within 24 hours I have to file a new TM-30. === So we are talking 5 minutes out of my super busy retirement life === As I said many times, it ALL depends on LOCAL POLICY and LOCAL ENFORCEMENT

Not Approved Because I'm Not High So
edwardflory replied to norsurin's topic in ASEAN NOW Community Pub
""".....out and about in the wrong places or your....""" Well, the last place was at the Korat Immigration Office with a BRIT / THAI couple, before that at"The Mall" with a YANK / THAI couple at DIY. Yep, in all the wrong places You sure as hell do not know much about Thai women talking to each other, even if just meeting - they almost always compair their lifestyles when they have a farang as a partner. -

edwardflory replied to norsurin's topic in ASEAN NOW Community Pub
Occasionally WE get a request for money from family members. The usual request is 1000bt, sometimes paid back, sometimes not. Her family are farmers, and usually, after a small harvest, is when we get a request. ( About 10 times in 12 years ) I don't have a problem with 1000bt even for several months in a row. -
Tattooed Tourist Assaulted in Songkran Soaking Incident
edwardflory replied to snoop1130's topic in Pattaya News
"""Riding a scooter in Soi 6....in the middle of Songkran...and expecting not to be soaked?.....""" Must be: 1) new to Pattaya ( doubtful, driving a motor bike ) OR most likely 2) slightly insane UNLESS staying on the soi - if then, he should have known what would happen. 🤔 -
There is a beach you can access from Buddha Hill. Mostly used by locals and long term folks. You will walk down many steps to get to the beach.
