Sorry don't buy that. The original post was written in English on her Facebook page !! Why would that be , a Thai writing in English and on her Facebook page then asking people to tell the police if you see him ? Sounds suspicious to me . Guess most of her Facebook friends must be English speaking then not Thai ? So if this guy pictured is innocent, there is now the potential for him to be hounded and possibly violently attacked because of this dubious allegation.
Of course if this guy really is a turd than how would the sister know he has taken her to Rayong ? He would hardly have told the victim prior to an abduction, if it really is an abduction, that I have going to my evil way with you in Rayong but please don't tell anyone first !!!
It wasn't her FB page, it was a FB group page for foreigners seeking teaching jobs in Thailand. And the poster recruited the guy for a teaching job in Rayong. Her sister was to drive him down there. It's all in the story or in the graphics.

Odd that a search of the originally quoted Cullman Times for 'Jackson Hall' comes up with nothing. Name doesn't pop up on the FBI site either.
Is the 1st thing I get when Googling "Jackson Hall Cullman Times"

Hello - I am also applying soon for the initial spousal designation of an existent multiple entry O-visa. We have the financials and other documents listed at Thai Immigration FAQ but they don't mention any applicable form and I don't see that specifically mentioned here, either. Is there a form or is it just a matter of bringing the appropriate evidence in? Thank you for any help. - Frawley
Unless you are applying at Bangkok immigration you will need 2 completed TM7 forms with supporting documents attached to each one.
Download and print two sided. http://www.immigration.go.th/nov2004/download/pdf/tm7.pdf
Document format you can fill out: http://www.immigration.go.th/nov2004/download/tm7.doc
I suspect the list you found is not complete and/or outdated.
Does it include an updated Kor Ror 2 marriage registry.
Map to house from nearest main road or street.
Photos of you and the wife in and around the house. One must show you both with house number show in the photo.
Application *will* be at Bangkok/Chaeng Wattana. Pleasse advise how that may change your response. All evidence noted is on my list except it just said "marriage license". Our marriage license is from the U.S. but we did also register here at the amphur, so thank you for noting we'll need the Kor Mor 2. All very helpful and appreciated.

Haha sorry stevenl thank you and thank you all. Wise advice . . .
Just got my 2yr temp a few days ago in BKK (Branch 3, Sukhumvit, near Bangjak BTS). I did get a notarized certificate of residency from the U.S. Embassy but could have gotten such a certificate, with several more weeks and far less money invested, from Thai Immigration instead. U.S. Embassy won't certify a U.S. DL because they are State Dept. & will only notarize/certify their own documents. I tried. Wouldn't do it. So it's absolutely untrue, unless there are different rules for different nationalities, that they require anything from an embassy certifying any document unless you elect to go the embassy Residency Certificate route.
Now I did read where I'd need to have so-called certified copies of my passport/visa/stamp/departure card along with a certified copy of my U.S. DL (and the originals to show). Turns out you can do the certification yourself...sort of like taking an oath on paper, I suppose. You draw two parallel lines through the photo/heart of the document and then enter wording to the effect "certified copy of original document", print your name, note the date and sign your name. That's it. My wife is Thai and was familiar with this self-certification process. She wrote the "official certified copy" language in Thai for me. English would be fine, too. My bank had me do this on a copy of something or other. If the DL & passport docs are in English, you shouldn't need translated copies. But, of course, as has been pointed out, rules can be quite different from bureaucratic branch to bureaucratic branch.
One nice surprise at Branch 3 in BKK is that the new application form just requires you to fill in your printed name as it appears on your passport. Guy at the reception/triage desk handed it to me and sent me to the appropriate window/line. They took the application and my materials and filled it all in on their computer. I suppose it's easier for them to fill your form out for you than to correct the one you'd attempt on your own. Does mean you have to check over their work, however, before heading off for the eye/reaction testing. Better to get it corrected then than trying later in the process.
Chok Dee!

It's a dowery paid to the family of the woman you intend to marry. The final sum is based on whatever they can squeeze out of you. In my opinion 'pay nothing'. It's an outdated practice that is kept alive by people living in the past. In my opinion.What is the sin-sod??I'm married. A Sin Sot was expected. I didn't pay. I still get on fine with the wife's family. All's normal.
I'm married 7+yrs now and didn't pay sinsod, either. In my situation, however, none was sought to begin with. My paw-in-law's attitude was that his daughter was not for sale. I was welcomed to join the family, though. I'm sure my own paw-in-law isn't the only Thai father who finds the practice outdated and offensive.

Whenever I'm touring the countryside with my Thai family, they treat parking the vehicle as if it were a quality-time family activity, each of them standing at some station about the vehicle, all offering help and advice to the driver. Because of all of the sometimes conflicting advice, I've watched this process run upward of 2 or 3 minutes before everyone is satisfied. Is this a Thai thing or is my family just sort of odd? And is it common for all Thai to step out of the vehicle and stand alongside while the petrol pumper checks the tire pressure? Am I wrong to be entertained?

Thaivisa exclusive: Missing Thai girl is “protecting US teacher rapist”

If you check the passport with the old neighbor's name, the picture is of the perpetrator (or he and the neighbor are dead ringers for one another). If the neighbor never had a passport, as wouldn't be too surprising for someone from rural Alabama, all Hall would need is the birth certificate and a forged photo ID to get the passport. I can see this guy pulling that off. Of course, his neighbor helping him out makes some sense, too, if the neighbor is a bit naive...or was paid off.
