Just a very quick question.  Currently here on a SETV, I have 29 days left on it before I must leave. I wish to change my return flight date (uk) and extend my visa for another 30 days . In what order do I do this ?  Change ticket first then extend visa or change the visa first then change my travel date?  and when is the best time to go to immigration,  i.e.  Now or in a couple of weeks time?

yet another coward "fleeing the scene"

There seems to be so many people on this site who openly condone the use of drugs and drug dealing, in my opinion, you are as bad as this piece of drug dealing vermin that this post is about. Lets see how liberal your attitude is when one of your kids is taking drugs.

You shouldn't be on overstay. It's pretty simple. Why foreigners always think they can overstay, not have their visa in order etc... Let your Thai girlfriend try that in Europe and she will be banned right away for a while... up to 10 years.

not in the uk, your gf would be very lucky to get into the uk in the first place, our government prefers spongers from eastern Europe and terrorist muslims

What the hell is it with Thai drivers "fleeing the scene" of accidents, we read this so often, I can only think, was he drunk, was he under the influence of drugs? whatever the reason, it happens so many times.

how could he live with the smell that must have been in the house

has anyone here ever been greeted by a smiling immigration officer on arrival or departure?? I think if you get a surly stare you are lucky

There is certainly a lot more to this story. 1,He refused to pay his bill 2, He threw the first punch. I think he was very lucky only to receive a lump of wood on his head. The Thai bloke must have been in a good mood, or didn't have a knife on him and no mates nearby. But why is the bar owner looking after the English bloke? Definitely only half a story here,

changing the subject, I want to start of some subjects of my own on here,, I don't have any problem replying to posts but for the life of me I cant work out how to start a post. can someone please help?

did you receive it by post, or did you actually have to go to the passport office?

I don't think you are being unreasonable, they take without asking and the thing the really really pees me off is that they do not take care of anything

So he owns a restaurant, big deal, This doesn't excuse him for being a dangerous nutcase. What a "quality" piece of scum

Drinking with Thais and expecting them to pay???? Oh how naive, obviously his first time in Thailand

Great Britain is finished as a nation, run for years by a succession of spineless governments, who have allowed any piece of scum from any s*** hole on the planet to enter. Now this is the inevitable, predictable result. A once great nation overrun by these extreme murdering vermin

I'm so happy he was caught but I would be a lot happier if the packages had burst inside his guts, the filthy drug dealing vermin

It would be interesting to hear her side of this story

Complete and utter lies, they are so frightened of losing the tourists they have stitched these men up for sure, the police here have absolutely no respect for the victims and their families, DISGUSTING

It amazes me that the corrupt incompetent clowns ruled out the usual "suicide " verdict

So you're basing your future on the basis that your future wife's family were too shy to go into a noisy bar, no doubt full of Farangs and prostitutes , to drink with you? Have you never noticed that THAI people doin t tend to drink in Farang bars. You Said you wanted them to see your "culture ". Well I'm sure they were highly impressed

Yet again, all they care about is their precious tourist industry and their image to the outside world. Are the police really so stupid that they don't realise how they come across in interviews or do they just not care?? It just shows how little they really do think of us and the contempt they have for us. THEY HATE US, THEY LOVE OUR MONEY, it's that simple

What an absolute farce, I know if I were on koh Tao now I would get out of there very quickly indeed because some poor innocent sod is going to be framed for this very soon. More likely to be a foreigner too because remember, "a Thai national wouldn't commit such a crime "

SHES DONE WITH DATING ????????????? Hahahaha a. More like no one will date HER , what a minger

Hmmmmmm. A RUSSIAN card skimming piece of scum arrested!!! And Thailand want allow these people to virtually live full time here. What a twisted country this is

Well said. I feel exactly the same

What an absolute farce.

I took the advice of so many TV posters saying to stop moaning and 'get the right Visa'. So I tried.

Flew back to the UK to visit the Thai embassy and explain my situation, and ask for a 1 year multiple entry visa based on having family and finances in Thailand;

I'm under 50 but have a Thai partner, own a house together, have a baby towgether but not married yet. Work outside of Thailand and have enough money in a Thai bank account to survive for a few years.

This is what they told me. "You need Tourist Visa". "But I work outside Thailand and leave and enter every 45 days or so, I need a Visa that allows me to do so."

I was told I have no more rights to live in Thailand than a backbacker has, even though I have invested and I spend all of my money there. Apparently I have no legal rights over my child also if I am not married.

Obviously I can apply for the Elite card, but to now I feel like I am being shafted out of 10 grand because I have the wrong passport.

All you posters who have the correct Visa that suits your own needs then well done I am so happy for you. But don't be so frigging patronizing to people who don't have the correct Visa through no fault of their own, but due to the shambolic system that just makes up and changes the rules whenever it suits their own agendas. These decisions are causing families to suffer, tourism numbers to drop and of course giving the impression of an unorganized and very unfair system.

Thanks so much for reeling us in and then booting us out. Mission accomplished I guess.
