I have done it a few times in the last 2 years. First time I had a 60day visa, with a return ticket in the third month. Extension made 14 days before visa expired, no questions about return ticket. A few months later flew in on Visa Exemption, obtained extension problem free. The Airlines can see you have a return ticket when you check in, and are aware of the immigration rules. I flew from Perth-Singapore-BKK and return each time with Singapore Airlines.

Thai Beach Vendors using their slingshots on the poor Monkeys!
Brock replied to bob smith's topic in ASEAN NOW Community Pub
The sligshots dont have very strong rubber, so when fired they will just sting. You could replace the rubber with truck inner tube strips and use ball bearings, that would definitely slow down th\e little buggers. They are dangerous, can be infected with rabies and do serious damage to property. -
There is no requirement or expectation of a tip in Thailand, though the tip is appreciated by your server. You have to remember, that giving a tip is not a universal practice.. In Australia, servers are paid a decent wage, so arent hassling for a tip. If you wish to tip fine, but dont look down on those that dont as cheap charlies, as its may not be their custom to tip..

I have been paying my local barber 200baht for haircut and beard cut trim for over 20 years. It seams to fit the list of charges that are posted on the wall. No body in the village charges me extra for being a Falung..

Scottish woman’s cliff plunge in Thailand sparks insurance debacle
Brock replied to webfact's topic in Thailand News
Terribly written/translated story. How did she fall to her death/non death off a cliff. How was the motorbike involved.. If she used the bike, to get to a scenic view, where she walked to close to the edge, the bike was non contributory so should not be a factor in the claim. If she rode the bike off the cliff, then ok.. -
Thai Airways flight diverted to Sydney, captain clarifies decision
Brock replied to snoop1130's topic in Thailand News
Actually, its a good decision. Melbourne is several hundred Ks south of Sydney , so were going past it on the way. Canberra Airport is in a hole in the mountains, and if weather is marginal wouldnt be a good choice. Also the airport may not be suitable or the aircraft.. -
The Orange light was a service reminder light, and just needed to be reset. You should have taken the bike to the original workshop for them to reset.

My Legal Wife Has A Thai ID problem.
Brock replied to NONG CHOK's topic in Visas and migration to other countries
My Wifes sister didnt know her birthday, she was born on the side of a rice paddy field, and her birth recorded quite some time later. Her ID had no date of birth as it was unknown. This was from a time when the birth was recorded on a house register, no Tabien Bahn then. It didnt help that the sister isnt able to read or write due to no schooling. It was a few years ago that I found a copy of the household registration with the documents needed to get my wife to Australia. On that document was a barely legible DOB for the Sister, so we took a copy of that with us on the next trip. That was taken to the local Ampur, where he ID was updated. She was very happy, as for the first time in 50ish years she was able to have a birthday party.. -
Ratchaburi Immigration is pretty casual, I dont need to resubmit a TM30 when returning from Oz or anywhere else. If I need an extension, I just need to show the TM30 receipt (or attach a copy with the paperwork.. New TM30 with a new passport I suppose, I will find out next year.

Format of documents when apply for an E-visa
Brock replied to Sjoerd's topic in Thai Visas, Residency, and Work Permits
I just did one, all paper work was in PDF.. The system wont accept formats it doesnt like. PDF is better in that it can include several pages. -
How is it that the music has been downloaded to your phone, but you need to be connected to the internet to use it. Its either on your phone, or its not..??

smart watch to monitor constantly blood pressure and pulse rate
Brock replied to fvw53's topic in General Topics
Most smart watches will monitor heart rate, but None will measure pressure. Certainly not a watch. BP is measured using an inflatable cuff around your arm, even that wont measure it constantly. Get a BP machine if you mast, and measure several times during the day. Results can be entered into your phone health app. -
It seems that when the funds are allocated for new road construction, there is no budget set aside for maintenace. That is a different money bucket that is always empty

I am diabetic, have been for about 20 years. The goal my Doc set was to be below 7.0, so 6.9 is OK.. Watch your diet, and do what exercises you can. You may not be able to walk far but you should be able to use a rowing machine, or even a skiing machine while seated. They will help improve cardio health.. If your sugar levels were up around 10 all the time then you could be in trouble.

What do I need on arrival at Suv?
Brock replied to cubism001's topic in Thai Visas, Residency, and Work Permits
My last 2 trips (Nov 22 & Apr23) All I has to show was the passport and boarding card. The boarding pass is entered into the computer by the IO.. They may ask where you are staying, in my case it was our house. This also was entered into the computer. That was it. In 40 or so years, I have never been asked to show funds for the stay. If you turn up dressed reasonably, and not like a penniless hippie its unlikely you will be asked. -

A document at Immigration only in Thai language
Brock replied to Opossum's topic in Thai Visas, Residency, and Work Permits
Its probably a document that states that you are aware of the repercussions for overstaying your extension/visa.. That way to tourist cant say "Oh I didnt know about that""
