Terrible advice

The visa is valid for entry for 30 days, should be 3 months, so the text is wrong. On entry he will be given a stamp of 90 days in Thailand.

I can't work out why anyone needs a desktop nowadays unless for work. I have a laptop and a good phone. I can do most things including this forum on my phone. I hardly use my laptop at all nowadays, just my phone.

I don't care if it sounds racist to you. It is just plain nonsense. I don't care if its a Thai or anyone else doing this it's idiotic.

I completely agree. The Lotus's at the top of the Threpasit Road are always restocking the beer and alcohol mid morning. Now that the area is so small you can just about move around it when there is no restocking going on. As there are no alcohol sales between 2 and 5pm, why on earth do they not do it then. But there again that would be too easy.

Lazada accepts foreign bank credit cards I use my UK Mastercard all the time.

Well he won't get it delivered by girls in bikinis. All the beach people will give you a menu and take your order. A guy on a motorbike will then get your order from a local restaurant that they deal with. He will bring it back and they will serve to you. Nothing is cooked on the beach itself. I recommend Jomtien or even better Koh Larn in the week.

If you say so.

Have you never heard of a Turkey Crown?

Waste of money. We bought one 2 years ago and have used it on only a few occasions. They simply do not cool the room, fan is just as good.

Yes typo error missed out the word visa. The article implies he is visting the UK at short notice. Agree on the second part about he possibly could already have a long term visa. I agree a UK visa not that hard to get as my wife has had 3 x 1 year, a 5 year and now a 10 year visa. Many people would disagree however.

Well it's 13 years so far and going strong

Option on the app to change it to any method you wish.

No way he could get a UK in this short timescale. If he really is going to the UK it must have been planned weeks ago.

Exactly I have been doing this for years. Same with the water and 3BB Internet.

But it's a not an issue question isn't it? And no I do not know the answer. You sometimes give some good advice albeit with a questionable bedside manner. I don't know why you don't wish to do as I suggested, it's simple and certainly not worth a thread on here.

I am surprised that someone like you are confused. Travel with both passports and they will then stamp you in according to your extension date in the new passport. I am assuming that you have a single re entry, therefore in this case it will be marked used. You then visit where you did your extension at your leisure to change stamp to new passport. If its a multi re entry just travel with 2 passports until your extension is due. Sounds like a non issue to me.

That's why I married a girl 36 years younger than me.

May I suggest the problem is you and your wife and the method you are using to book a hotel. Plenty of reputable easy to navigate sites like Agoda. Book now and pay later option, free cancellation etc. Why on earth your wife paid in advance and a deposit for a key is beyond me.

Neither its the responsibility of the Highway police.

There has to be a better way. For example on exit from the UK no one passes through an immigration desk. Whilst I have always wondered how overstayed are checked, it must satisfy the requirements of the UK immigration.

Have a look at your expiry dates of passport and extension. It may work out that you can work around them. You can renew your extension 30 - 45 days early at most offices. It may work out for you to renew your passport early by post and then renew your extension after you get the new passport. All you then need is a re entry permit to protect your extension date. Surely this will be a better way to proceed rather than losing your extension and starting again.

Try lighting a match, if you blow up you will know that your suspicions are correct and we will be well rid of you.

Because as the other poster said its a Buddhist country. Living here I would not have a clue when Easter is.

Excellent thank you
