Phuket residents to rally against interior permanent secretary
ThailandRyan replied to snoop1130's topic in Phuket News
Guy seems to be a self centered SOB who believes he is the almighty decision maker. Wonder if it was because he did not receive any brown envelopes.... -

Long-Term Visa Options
ThailandRyan replied to mrmagyar's topic in Thai Visas, Residency, and Work Permits
Have you looked at the new LTR 10 year Visas. Of course you need to be over 50 to qualify for the LTR-WP, but if under 50 and you have the dosh then the LTR-GWC would work. The main site seems to be down right now but here is an article with the info and a link to try later. https://www.huahintoday.com/thailand-news/thailands-new-10-year-long-term-resident-visa-ltr-visa-is-now-available/ -
GF bought house we live in /tm30
ThailandRyan replied to kingstonkid's topic in Thai Visas, Residency, and Work Permits
TM 28 was stopped from being used a few years back. Just a TM 30 is needed showing your new address. Just went though this in HH/PKK https://www.google.com/url?sa=t&source=web&rct=j&url=https://thethaiger.com/hot-news/expats/thai-immigration-scraps-tm28-reporting-requirements&ved=2ahUKEwjngYyu_6z8AhVwATQIHcRFA3oQFnoECA0QAQ&usg=AOvVaw0y-s3YjgAwGfzOeefCzGA2 -

ThailandRyan replied to snoop1130's topic in Thailand News
Article i read today and on the business news today was that China will start paying people to move out of the overcrowded cities. One wonders if the will be resettled in the Gost towns built years ago. Economy will need to be restructured for jobs etc... -
Property sector hopes for a turnaround in 2023
ThailandRyan replied to snoop1130's topic in Thailand News
Having bought a house down here in PKK not that long ago I am still following the listings. What I am seeing is that prices for houses similar to ours and with a good location have risen in price (as far as the listings go). The developers must be hopeful that they can sell in the upcoming market and current high season. However, with that said, I have also noticed that the lower end houses, and smaller condos have had prices dropped (New builds). One wonders if that is because they will be just shells and the interior buildups will be included for a non shown price. I do know that the folks who just finished a new build near us (4/3 with pool on 1/2 Rai) spent over 3 million Thb on the kitchen build, the 3 bathrooms, and the living room built ins as well as the walk in closets. One wonders what the cost for all of the furniture will be, but as he said he bought the land and built the house (215 sqm) for just under 4 MThb and that included all of the outside cement, tile and 14m x 8m pool. Great location near the beach and south of HH in Pranburi. -
I know that I am posting in an OP that was last added to by @Sheryl in 2019, but Sheryl had given me some advice in a few PM's based upon her experiences, and it worked out pretty good for us as I needed to work on getting a hired Myanmar worker a new WP and then an extension of stay. With all of that said, we are in the process of changing our Myanmar housekeepers WP from Bangkok to PKK (as we have moved her to the house here) as well as having her new extension of stay completed, current extension of stay ends on February 13th, 2023. The other issue we had, and fixed, was that the Housekeepers passport (which is a PJ type) from Myanmar expired last November 15th. Knowing it was expiring and knowing it would affect her employment, I used an agent back in August to start the process of getting a new PP, while she was still working for us in our Condo in BKK to help in getting the new PP. At the time, last year, the Myanmar embassy in Bangkok would not issue a new PP as they were waiting until the start of the New Year, and had already issued que's which were out up to 2 months. The Agent we used was able to get an appointment in Chiang Mai at the Myanmar Consulate in October, and took a van full of people up to obtain new PP's. The Chiang Mai Consulate was at that time only doing 200 appointments per day and it took 2 weeks for the new PP and the old one to return to the Agent. Once the new PP returned the PP was taken to immigration and all of the old stamps were transferred to the new passport ( I mean all the prior 5 years Non-L-A extension stamps). Her current extension also had been stamped in the old PP to indicate it ended on November 15th when the PP expired, but had a red stamp below it stating her extension was valid until February 13, 2023. When the new PP arrived the agent took the new PP to Immigration and they also changed that extension to coincide with the date stamped on her old PP. The WP book is another issue which we are in the process of changing as well, due to her moving provinces with us. This will be done in concert with the new extension of stay application, of which as a housekeeper she was only getting 1 year each time and not 2 years like reading some of the posts above (Yes I know times have changed, and her first extension issued in 2018 was good for 2 years, but then starting in 2020 they were for 1 year at a time.) Her current WP, listing me as the employer also is expiring on the same day as her extension of stay. I am using an agent down here in PKK, actually an accountant who does this for others, and the charge for everything will be 15k Thb. The agent had never seen a Non-L-A before, which I thought was strange as there are many Myanmar workers here in PKK. She was also concerned since my Non Imm O-A visa for retirement had been changed to the new LTR-P Visa and was good for 10 years, with a 5 year first period. The agent took the paperwork with her for my housekeeper, as well as copies of my PP, the current work permit, copies of my Blue book for the residence and the Tabien registration with her and visited Immigration in HH yesterday to verify all was possible. She called back later yesterday and has the information needed and seemed happy as she had learned some new things which will help her in the future. Never hurts to be open minded, as so many Agents we had tried to use starting back in 2020 stated that a foreigner, unless on a WP themself, could not hire anyone except a Thai. Persistance paid off and the Agent I found in Nonthaburi at the time also learned a few new things as well and was happy to assist, they just could not help us now as we had changed provinces. I will report back with and update as things progress. Sorry for the ramblings, still drinking my first cup of coffee this morning... ????

Glad he's the one who decides on regulations, but he is not the one who decides. He just makes it known what his position is and the Cabinet decides on new measures, and if changes are made they are posted in the Gazzette not on Anutins Twitter feed.. Link and stats please to verify your post.......

Is it time for you to face reality and LEAVE ?

I buy it in the 36 roll pack, great for teepeeing the neighbors -
Your starting to limbo now. Your a smart man, you understand what was written and how it pertains to your hero leading the insurrection by being a snake oil con man and getting all to do his dirty work as he egged them on. Sort of like how you like to bait others into trying to make your point for you....
