What on earth is TM30 ?!
lordblackader replied to AndrewMciver's topic in Thai Visas, Residency, and Work Permits
Depending on the Immigration office, you can't do anything without one on file. It has been law since 1979 and enforced since about 2016 at some offices - Chiang Mai in particular. -
A legitimate ED visa requires in-class teaching - minimum of eight hours a week. Any school offering online learning is breaking the law. Sign up to school in CM and turn up to classes if you don't want to put yourself at risk of getting into trouble. And Immigration has been strict on EDs recently due to the Chinese gangs using them.

How do you only have a regular power bill of 60 baht month? Does she have a fridge maybe and nothing else? -

Changmai Immigration
lordblackader replied to stix40's topic in Thai Visas, Residency, and Work Permits
You're yet to say what it is you are applying for. Extension based on marriage or retirement? some other sort of visa?? This isn't rocket science - all you have to do is explain your situation - I have X visa and I'm trying to get Y done at Z office. -
When did CM change? I've got the same TM30 in the back of my passport I filed in 2019 and have the left the country multiple times (let alone domestic travel) and have confirmed with them - in person, that I don't need to file a new one. Of note, that's with re-entry permits on two year extensions of stays - if you change visa status, that's different.

Domestic Flights on Overstay
lordblackader replied to hsoa's topic in Thai Visas, Residency, and Work Permits
This. It's not unheard of for Immigration and police to come onto a bus and check passports. -
Had the better half apply for one last year at the convention center. Took about an hour and the passport surprisingly turned up three days later via registered mail.

Water Pressure , what's it like in your area ?
lordblackader replied to worgeordie's topic in Chiang Mai
PWA supply in San Sai - we've also got a pump and water tank, the supply magically goes off 2-3 times a month and other times it's weak. The pump helps with the water pressure as we can tap into the tank + the tank when it just stops for no reason. It has gotten significantly worse this year. -
meals-on-wheels or go-shopping-for-you-services for housebound
lordblackader replied to orang37's topic in Chiang Mai
Meals-on-wheels is overly expensive for delivery if you don't live in the city. Grab is your best bet Reliable and affordable delivery service. -
Re-entry permit at CNX (trip report)
lordblackader replied to TheAppletons's topic in Thai Visas, Residency, and Work Permits
Immigration at Central Festival - 10 minutes and no one is turned away. -
If it was only seeds, why were Mae Jo Uni giving away plants when it first came in? It's not only seeds, you can buy grown plants at Kamthieng.
-
Kamthieng Flower Market - everything from seedlings through to nearly fully grown plants. They will be Thai Stick/native strains though. If you want a clone or something more exotic, Lanna Botanical - I think you can order directly but they also do market stalls around the place - top owner who knows his stuff and is happy to discuss growing with you.

The basics are still the same but the biggest changes have been new shops and restaurants. COVID gutted the touristy parts (Nimman/Old City/Chang Klan) with many places closing down but now new shops/restaurants/bars etc opening all the time. A good many new shops are marijuana dispensaries as well, so that's definitely new from 2016 ????

As soon as they work out some way to turn the building into a hotel. It has to be on borrowed time + it sits on some of CM's most expensive real estate.
