No Departure Tax Being Implemented: Revenue Department
Skeptic7 replied to webfact's topic in Thailand News
Was hoping they would go thru with this greedy, money grab madness. ALL for anything and everything this place concocts to shoot itself in the foot. -
Don't we know it❗ Tried logic and reason on those woo-sters for years before finally throwing in the towel. The mystics were the worst by far and that's no small accomplishment. 555 ????

Complete and utter hogwash. You do not know any of this. Prove it's your god. Prove it's any god. You are fooling yourself with BS. You know NOTHING of an afterlife, so much as eternal life. You're lying to yourself and us, pretending your scaredy-cat security blankie is real. Maybe, by the most infinitesimal chance, it is real...but we don't know and you certainly don't either. Chill out, relax, take a deep breath, THINK...and have a drink❗????????????????

DOJ is 'investigating Trump's link with Saudi-backed LIV Golf tour

I could not disagree more. But to each their own. ⛳ -
Mark Twain said it best: “I do not fear death. I had been dead for billions and billions of years before I was born, and had not suffered the slightest inconvenience from it.”

I know the law and what a TM-30 is and what it's needed for. I'm not in any way disputing what the law says, but rather the claim that any cheap guesthouse can and will do a TM30. This is simply not the case...at least not in my limited experience of nearly 30 years here. Many laws and stipulations in Thailand, of which many Thais are unaware or don't care. Even if aware...quite a few are ignored, disregarded, ill-enforced or not at all.

Money in the Bank-A friend has confused me
Skeptic7 replied to geejay's topic in Thai Visas, Residency, and Work Permits
If his bank account was "frozen", it was not due to immigration's funds-in-the-bank policy. The money is yours to do with what you please...however, dropping below during those 5 months (2 months prior and 3 after) will be found out at your next annual extension and possibly/probably not granted the extension. -
Facial recognition required for some online services from Thai banks
Skeptic7 replied to snoop1130's topic in Thailand News
Went into Bangkok Bank near Jomtien Immigration yesterday to do this very thing. The security guy handed me a queue ticket. There were about 15 people before me and the numbers were not advancing. 3 people had enough and departed. I walked outside to the guy and told him I just needed a photo taken. OH go upstairs, he said. Was upstairs and finished in 15 minutes. Needed PP and bank book. Be sure to state your purpose for being there, otherwise will waste your time waiting for number to be called (which was looking like an hour minimum), THEN you will be directed upstairs. Had I not mentioned it, would have been there a totally unnecessary extended period instead of in and out in 20 minutes. -
Online Report . Room number.
Skeptic7 replied to DrJack54's topic in Thai Visas, Residency, and Work Permits
With immigration, nothing surprises...but causing confusion is certainly their forte. Sudden and random changes, differing from province to province and even at the whim of individual officers. Nitpicky shifting of goalposts. Wouldn't surprise me if some do it just for "fun" and/or spite. My 90 day is due 1 June. Annual extension also next month, which is always done with trepidation, regardless how many times previously. Haha
