Ratchaburi New Immigration Office. Visited just recently for my yearly ext. In the front door , counter with Yellow shirted ladies , told me to go through the next set of doors and up to the second floor ( lift available if required ) Gave my paper work to the officer standing behind the glass " Non O Retirement ". My mistake obviously , sent me to the lady in a yellow shirt behind the glass that was for re entry permits. She checked all my paper work and give it all back to me with another Two forms to fill in , "Acknowledgement of terms and conditions for permit of temporary stay in the kingdom of Thailand..(STM.2)" and the " Acknowledgement of penalties for a Visa overstay ". Filled them in and returned all documents again. TM 30 not required unless you leave the country and return , but a copy of the receipt is required for the time we submitted our TM 30 a few years back. ( even though the original was in the passport. All completed , everything gets passed on to an IO who goes through it thoroughly. Wants to know the wife's phone number , even though it is on the receIpt for the TM 30. Where we live , how to get there etc. He eventually located the house on Google Earth street view , then logged the co-ordinates in to the computer. Better than trying to draw a map...... In and out 30 mins.

Probably alcohol or phone , has to be one of the Two , or maybe both . Two on the bike. R.I.P.

Like it or lump it , if you are late for reporting they will fine you. What can you do about it ? The online system is to make things easier , if it doesn't work we have to revert back to the old way. The Immi is not bothered about reasons for you being late . I have been into an office , shown the print out for my online application and their acceptance of it and asked why there had been no response from them. Shrug of the shoulders , shouted somebody to come and look at it and he gave me a 90 day form to fill in in the office. No apologies/excuses cos' we don't really matter to them.

So , police doing their job is making the news now ....🫠

First Line :- Good news at CW

Colour blindness test in book , replaced last time by traffic light colours . Brake reaction test , Depth perception , peripheral vision check , then the 1 hour video , no questions on the video.

What ever it was , it wasn't anything to do with her riding her scooter safely..

So the guy who used the government vehicle for his trips to the golf course will be released from his max. 50 years in prison and fined 5,000-10,000 baht ?

Paid mine today , the lowest of the Two figures. Discount about 240+ baht.

One of those modified pick ups , wheels and tyres wider than the vehicle and whatever they do to the exhaust system that makes them loud and spew black smoke.

I think his lawyer will be jumping in on this...Confidential records , invasion of privacy . court order etc.

But it stops repeat offending....😆

or found and re sold ?

Download TM 30 I fill everything in for my wife and she signs it. That is it as far as I am aware. Never had to confirm it . Plus what Sheryl posted.

Who can say for definite . My wife owns our house and I filled a TM 30 in every year since 2016 , presented it to our immi. officers (Not Pattaya) and every year it was returned " if you still live in the same house , no need " Then a new regime stepped in and a couple of years ago they tried to fine me for not doing an up to date one . I argued my case about filing every year and the forms returned to me every year. They said I must fill a TM 30 in every year from now on....No fine. I returned the following year with a new TM 30 and was told I din't need a new one unless I have left the country...... Okay.....whatever.

Pedanticism.

Ditto (minus Isaan ) Never had a problem getting C.O.D. money back on faulty or wrong goods when using Lazada.

If you do own a gun legally in Thailand , are you supposed to use it for home protection , or are you allowed to carry a gun?

Still have to wait on piped water at times.

Were there not 3 awards given out to police for their bravery over this ?

I don't know if it makes any difference , but are you using a VPN when viewing the football ?

So what have they pixelated on the rear of the bike ?

Watching the Palace game emphasised to me just how slow we really are. Pellistri and Højlund were making some great runs but we are not delivering. We always want that extra touch or two or we haven't got the skill or confidence to find the runners. I remember Ferguson telling Scholes , Rooney , Carrick etc. "if they can't find Van Persie when he is making his runs , he will find somebody who can ". Rashford once again is to predictable .
