I have many pleasant memories of Jomtien Beach. This is a crying shame. It's what happens when you let peasant type tourists invade your country. 

Hmmmm... Those "peasants" are probably Thai! 

Plenty of Thai beg.. Especially in Bkk. What law is the farang breaking? 

Only barking dogs annoy me. And the occasional rice rocket that produces a noise for what seems like 5 minutes! 555

Mushrooms are about to become legal in Thailand. Right? Why the fuss

@1happykamper Sorry for late reply, I just saw your post.

 

Could you please post here or PM me a screenshot of an example of "old news" and I will investigate it. Are you talking about forum email notification emails or the daily newsletter?

 

Cheers

It's all sorted now thanks. I had subscribed to the daily newsletter by mistake... I switched to the new news 555.

Thanks

I'm kind of obsessed with documenting this.

So here is everything you have to do, if you're married to a Thai national and want to extend your stay for another year.

 

Documents needed for one year extension of marriage visa – sorted in official Chaeng Watthana order (as far as I observed)

• Completed TM 7 form with one passport sized photo glued to the form on page 2: https://bangkok.immigration.go.th/wp-content/uploads/2021/06/14คำขออนุญาตเพื่ออยู่ในราชอาณาจักรเป็นการชั่วคราวต่อไป-ตม.7.pdf

• Completed STM2 form: https://bangkok.immigration.go.th/wp-content/uploads/Form-STM2.pdf

• Statement form handed over by immigration, that your wife will have to fill out. - Can't find a download link for this one.

• Acknowledgement form for overstay penalties: https://bangkok.immigration.go.th/wp-content/uploads/Form-Acknowledgement-of-Overstay-Penalties.pdf

• Copy of your latest TM30 receipt / Copy signed by you

• Passport: Original (of course)

• Copy of passport personal page / Copy signed by you

• Copies of all passport pages with Thai stamps on it / All copies signed by you

• Bank letter for 400 kTHB – Example for Bangkok bank: https://aseannow.com/topic/1044527-sample-bank-letter-for-retirement-visa/#comment-13108657 – Chaeng Watthana wants it on the same day than the application day, but accepts one day before as well. Best do it in Bangkok bank branch in Chaeng Watthana and pay 100 THB into the account beforehand, update the bank book and make copies of it.

• Bank book: Original

• Copies of updated bank book after bank visit on application day / All copies signed by you

• Marriage certificate – Original

• Marriage certificate copy / Copy signed by your wife and you

• Updated Kor Ror 2 (Your wife needs to do get one 1 or 2 days before the appointment)

• Copy of ID card of your wife / Copy signed by your wife

• Copy of tabien baan (blue book) of your wife / Copy signed by your wife

• Colour photo of your wife and you inside the living room glued to an A4 paper sheet signed by your wife and you

• Colour photo of your wife and you at unit door entrance with room number visible glued to an A4 paper sheet signed by your wife and you

• Colour photo of your wife and you at condo entrance with house logo and/or street number visible glued to an A4 paper sheet signed by your wife and you

• Drawn map to your condo or house from the main street signed by your wife and you

• Copy of the rental agreement / All copies signed by your wife and you

• Copy of ID card of your condo owner / Copy signed/certified with condo owner signature

• Extension fee of 1 900 THB

 

Recommended reserve documents just in case – only hand over when asked

• A signed copy of the condo/house owners' tabien baan (blue book) for the rental property

• Colour photo of your wife and you in front of the kitchen glued to an A4 paper sheet signed by your wife and you

• Colour photo of your wife and you inside the bedroom glued to an A4 paper sheet signed by your wife and you

 

Further advice

• Bring your own blue pen, glue stick and scissors just in case you need to correct something

• Useful: Download page for all immigration documents: https://bangkok.immigration.go.th/en/downloads_en/

• The under consideration period is now just three weeks for the 2nd time. So I will be able to pick up the final year stamp on 31.01.2024.

 

Pink line to Immigration and back

We used the pink line. So upon arrival, there is taxis waiting below the station. We picked one and turned left into the 2nd road, that goes all the way to the immigration entrance. The first road is Chaeng Watthana Soi 7 and the station is about in the middle of those two access roads.

On the way back my wife asked and the shuttle departs from the middle entrance and exit, gate 1. Since the building is called B, it is the gate B1. From there the free shuttle took us to the beginning of Chaeng Watthana Soi 7 in about 5 minutes. Then it's just a 2 minute walk to the Pink Line station.

 

Personal comments

My wife always has to go and make copies of about half the documents after they have been stamped by immigration. I presume it is the same for everyone under the marriage visa.

and how many hours did all that prep work and immigration visits and travel take you? 

Hence why I use an agent... But the "in and out in 40 minutes" crowd would laugh at me. Yeh right 555 555

It is illegal if the withdrawals are made from the account after his death by a 3rd party without the bank being informed, which is what he was referring to.

Well this is good to know... This was my plan. Oops

Followed by a knock on the door by the police!

I don't see why... If I give a friend my atm card... To get cash.. That's not illegal. 

20 trips to an ATM will suffice 

I subscribed to the daily updates... Which consist of many old topics but with recent comments. Zero value to me. 

Where do I sign up to get new news and topics only? Thanks 

Such hypocrisy! 

Im hoping to get more of a handle of my electrical problem before PEA arrives.. Today? 55. Fingers crossed. 

My issue started one week ago.. Lights began flickering and aircon compressor noise changed pitch and struggled. Then the flickering went to full on and off mode. I turned the main circuit breaker switch to OFF 

Next morning... Breakers back on... No issues. Non of my neighbors had issues... So it appeared it was just my problem. 

Last night... again.. Night time... The issue returned. Exact same events. I worked up early.. 5 am... Turned the breaker to ON... and went outside to check out the pole with my meter and 3 more.. 

Yikes.... My meter... Was zapping a lot... Which coincided with the flashing light show inside my home. 

I called PEA. They will be here within 34 hours 5555 555....

However... All is normal again now... Aircon is on as an experiment and zero issues. I have a UPS that supplies power to some electronics... and the UPS is happy 

My question...why would the shorting sound at the meter and flickering only occur at night.. Sure.. Higher humidity... But it's not that much a difference.. The temperature.. In the sun... is very different. Some lose connection would do this? A lizard fried there would have been done with a week ago... 

Any additional thoughts? Cheers 

.. and 5 people here think this is funny? You must be one of the s*ck f*KS too. 

Find this guy... Punish him  

America has a a huge problem.. Yeh no sht Sherlock... If Trump wins... Yikes.. The end of democracy there? If he loses.. Again... The beginning of civil war?

Far to many stories in the news regarding teachers.. Male and female that are bullies. Totally unacceptable... a smack with a bamboo stick on my Bum when I was 23 years old taught me to never forget how to spell "vacuum" 

 

.. Punching with fists... an immature lunatic 

Oops. Typo 555 555.. That should be 13 years old!

Rebranded the way you days to a catchier name won't help. Blocking off many U-turns over the holidays only caused more delays. 

Fundamentally many Thai can not drive. They have zero clue about mass x acceleration. They find out when they kill someone. 

Police are nearly useless. They rarely punish the guilty. Everyone smiles and waves. It's pathetic 

No where in Thailand is "as close to California as possible" 🤣🤣🤣. 

I read your post 3x...and I'm still not sure of your question.

Your post reels of "elitism" 

A hospital cleaner shouldn't be posting?

Should we all have a pompous attitude like yours?

"Oh he's only a hospital cleaner😲 ! 

I'm "miffed " at you bring "miffed" on what classes of people should be allowed to post here ?

Honestly did you really think the posters on here are all ROAD SCHOLARS ????😲

Maybe.. Like me... He was simply curious what this has to do with Thailand exactly...
