HI, can’t you spend a few weeks in a hotel ? I can’t imagine choosing a place so fast, especially Bangkok. There is a storage place or two well placed and very cheap if you need. I love the river too, but think of your daily comfort, and your husbands morning nightmare. Also think of not having the sun on your side, very important for me. On the other hand, a pool with sunshine is better as in the shade they can get quite cold which I hate. YOuncould do all this easily if you have time to look around, worth it if you are going to be spending 2/3 years there. Good luck and enjoy.

Our very own soap !

I LIKE it , the food court is great too.

Do check with your airline . I fly emirates and they do check your dates sometimes but not always. 

They can’t even get the CCTV cameras to work let alone a GPS tracking system !

Sorry for not understanding, but why has it shown on the Thai Post website if it hasn’t left GB ? 

Why Hua Hin ? The beach is awful.

I pay 18000 a month plus 2000 electric etc. Then , food for one plus daily expenses 500 a day +. For 2 people more. That’s not including travel, weekends away or expensive restaurants. For two the minimum would be around 45/50 thousand which is about 1400 euros a month at todays rate. For people who rent, cheaper in the south of France, Spain or Portugal for lovely weather and quality living. 

It will rain in the dry season. 

Getting a bit worried about this as I have an allergic eye problem .Ill be going to Jomtien end of November, is it likely to be bad there ?

why is this pollution happening now particularly? Thanks.

They are moving Jakarta. Some authorities are waking up to climate change. Good decision. 

Don’t miss the museum at the hell fire pass, and the video they show. Very moving. I want to go back one day for the annual ceremony.

Easy to see the empty condos, I rent in Jomtien, and my condo was nearly empty by mid January last. Those huge towers on 2nd rd  are empty. A few Russians at Christmas holidays,  that’s all. The cheaper condos have the long stayers.

I think the girl in IO gave me the TM30 by mistake.Apparently, they look the same. 

So , for Jomtien to accept my extension, I still have to  go there on my initial  arrival and fill in this form, and get the slip stapled in pp ? Plus the copy the condo office gives me of her declaration online , passport copies , visa page 1900B etc. 

Thanks for these explications.

Peterw42. Hi, just help me out here. When I went for  an extension on my SETV visa 2 years ago, i was told I needed the “ Receipt of Notification” slip of paper which I duly filled in. I also gave them the photo copy that my condo office had declared me. I was told I needed this IF asking for an extension on my tourist visa or visa exempt. I had this confirmed by the English speaking man that works there ! I have been doing this for 2 years running on my arrival.The form says

Notification formfor house master ,owner or the possessor of the  Residence where Alien has stayed.

The slip of paper they staple in pp says Receipt of Notification.

What form is this if not TM28 ? 

I Don t want to risk being refused an extension. 

JOmtien IO. I rent same condo 3 months every year.

I was told in plain English that if I didn’t have my TM 28  slip in my passport I wouldn’t get an extension on my SETV Visa nor Visa Exempt. Jomtien last March. Has this  changed ?

Hi, i posted Number 94. I asked this question as every time I go to Jomtien for an extension on my tourist Visa ( SETV) I am asked for my TM28 slip of paper ! My condo reports me online, and I go myself personally within the 24 hours of arrival as I know in advance I need  this to get my extension ! So, who is right ? I was told to do this by Jomtien IO . NO TM28 Notification of address , No   extension  on my tourist visa. 

MARKing is one thing, changing the rate from the one in the shop is another. Scam. 

Nobody has asked this question yet. If you are a tourist and ask for a 30 day extension on your visa or your Visa Exempt , do you have to present a TM28 notification of address slip of paper that  they staple into your passport ???

Ive bought a stack of $ in superich and they’ve never markedly the bills. Also, the bit about a different exchange rate is rubbish. Why did you accept ? 

Max, every time I have applied for an extension on my SETV, they have asked for the slip of paper they staple in your passport proving you have done your Notification of address within the 24 hrs .  (My condo office also report my arrival .) They then add the date onto the slip of paper.
