Wow, my 90-day was approved in only one day! Yay! This out of the country thing seems like just plain watery poop. @Jingthing I know you read that post differently than I did, but I just can't imagine them going back to not approving after having approved it online once. We shall see when the time comes. Fingers crossed. Leaving the country just for this would have been a real waste of time and money.

Google says no. You win the internet, congrats. :)

My passport number had changed.

Interesting indeed. What a shock they are not consistent! Another strange thing was when I picked up my passport, they required me (and another guy picking up his passport) to go in front of the building and take a photo flanked by two immigration guys. In many years of doing this, I've never had that before.

As @Jingthing said, as part of the procedure to move my visa and extension from the old passport to the new passport, I was told quite clearly and explicitly that I needed to get a new TM30 so I did that the same day. My 90 day was almost due, so then I got that done the same day as well. That was almost 90 days ago, hence my online application last night. Given the holiday situation I'm expecting it to take a while to get approved or rejected, so we'll see. Edit: It's possible the reason I was given the instruction to do my TM30 was that I knew my 90 day was up soon and told them I wanted to do it the same day. I can't really remember. I DO remember being told very specifically by the copy guy that I needed a new TM30.

I forgot to mention I'm also working from Jomtien. I read the post you mentioned differently. I didn't see it as they made the first report at the office as we did, then they made their first online renewal (second renewal after the passport), then were declined for the second online (third altogether) report. I just read it as they did the first 90 after new passport at the office then were declined online for the second report (first online). It's not important--we shall see when we get there. I hope my experience mirrors yours of being approved online for the first online attempt.

I guess I'm in almost exactly the same situation as @Jingthing, got my new passport about 3 months ago, changed stamps, did my new TM30 as they required (and made clear that I had to do it), then did my 90 day report and was told I couldn't do it online until I left the coutnry. The 90 day report is due in just over a week and I just submitted an online attempt. I will report back (unless I forget). Fingers crossed.

You can vape at much lower temperatures--all the good stuff (sorry for the heavy scientific terminology) is vaporized at 160 or so (can't remember the exact numbers). Sure you get less smoke, but the smoke is not the point, is it? It's the effect.

I'll be looking forward to your attempt to do it online when the time comes. Fingers crossed.

I had read your post so I was extra careful to ask and can confirm they are telling people they must exit and re-enter to use the online system.

In the Pattaya forum @Jingthing reported that after getting a new passport he was told he could no longer do online reporting until he left the country and came back. After that it was time for me to do the same, so I made sure when I did the 90-day report with my new passport that I asked whether I needed to leave the country and come back to be able to report online, and two different immigration officers were adamant that I would indeed need to leave the country. I'm not happy about this.

Pretty good at this place, but a bit more expensive. I think chicken kao soi is 95 baht. https://maps.app.goo.gl/KB5tQr96Vc2i36sd8

Yes, but the sellers are on the Line app. They have websites every so often, but they pull them down when crackdowns happen (that's my guess at least). About the portable induction machine--yeah, I was thinking of doing it for fun if there was an easy tutorial. The only one's I've found are for the US. I'm too lazy to figure out how to get the same stuff over here, but it seems to be available on Lazada/Shopee. I just don't know if it's the exact right stuff.

Any chance of a tutorial on how to make this? You did it in Thailand?

One thing that hasn't been mentioned is my favorite. Nano-THC edibles. I use a syrup from Devour (the brand, search google for 'devour nano-thc syrup' to see). It comes on in 15 minutes, is strong by 30, and full blown by 45 minutes. It's much easier to dose too--couch lock is 1 teaspoon, less for a less intense experience of course. It's nice not stressing your lungs.
