cubism001 replied to cubism001's topic in Thai Visas, Residency, and Work Permits
Sorry; that bus trip to Mesai was real exhausting. I entered Thailand by air from abroad as a visa exampt then (as i said) got that extended at Immigration. the stamp expires Dec. 4. I think I'l fly to Udon thani, get a stamp & back to Ch Mai. I have a deadline to meet as well. I'll go in a day or 2. -
Where should I go now to get a stamp? I'm getting a yearly retirement visa but need a stamp first (my extension stamp ends Dec. 4.) I have the original entry stamp by plane and one extension from Immigration. Thanks.

Converting a visa on arrival
cubism001 replied to Kilick's topic in Thai Visas, Residency, and Work Permits
I had to get a new visa - cross a border - then things were fine. (it's been a few months). -
Hi, Can you help me with 2 things: is there a Chiang Mai forum now? & in Ch Mai, can I find a fresh vegetable market outdoors, where vegetables aren't in packs? Thanks

I remembered why I'd lived in Nepal for so many years & decided to return for a visit. Has anybody been there lately? Thanks

I thought this was somewhere that people speak openly. FYI, homeless encampments are loud & dirty, & I've lived here for years. This isn't a heartless reaction & not an uncommon one (do you get around in other countries/read?) I've had it with you closed-minded folks. Enjoy the party. "You need.." is a complete non sequitur. Not worth reading what you try to say. But I"m curious: does belonging to a free group grant you a Ph.D? Or clairvoyance so you can be rude?

Back to the topic. I asked if anybody had seen lean-tos like I'd described. Somehow that became an attack against daring to say 'homeless'. BTW, who are people, you think, who don't look like they ever bathe or change clothes and sleep in vacant store fronts. Maybe they're casually waiting for customers?

The one in the park is built of plastic sheets but also has a microwave & tables & now is used as a party shack w occasional sleepers. The other one might be somebody owns it. House is entirely plastic & garbage & a guy definitely lives there. as for the CMU area behind the zoo etc. I used to go by there & it's out of the way for many. Why does that make me unobservant? & somebody just went by there (pls read the posts)

I lived in a different country for 10 yrs before a coup then takeover & the results were bad for locals & disastrous for the expat community. For me as an expat, life in Thailand is ok at its present level. Do you think this will change a lot? (guns, rolls of barbed wire, more expat arrests)

The Lazada one: could you get replacement filters? Thank you

How much does the Power Buy one cost? (I have bronchitis, so this might be impt.) Re moving to KL etc: world travel is off for awhile. I'd enjoy KL, but finances. will not allow this. I'm lucky to know about TH! Thanks!

Hard to believe...But then again, last time I saw Denver the population seemed to all be homeless. Is any part of CM free of encampments? (Sorry to sound calloused/heartless.) They really are loud. I get up at 5 am to write then publish...and they're screaming & throwing things at 2:30. My nice, cheap place looks straight into theirs.

One is in a park; it's quite a tourist attraction. The squatters keep adding on to it. Now there's a microwave, table & chairs. They throw drunken parties until 2-3 am. A local hotel owns the property. The other is on the main road. The house is entirely of plastic & old signs (like in the US). Leanto is surrounded by a motorcycle, bicycle, piles of clothes & 1/8 acre of weeds. Old buckets, you name it. But maybe CM's become Westernized that way... Is your part of town different? Thanks.

How much do they cost and where do I get one? Thanks.

Can I still get a visa stamp in Vientiane?
cubism001 replied to cubism001's topic in Thai Visas, Residency, and Work Permits
'Many' & other generalities doesn't = I've asked & people ignore that. Stop criticizing. It's boring -

People seem to keep those names to themselves, though. -

cubism001 replied to cubism001's topic in Thai Visas, Residency, and Work Permits
There were many things that the agent left for me to do, they wanted 22 days left on my entry stamp & like Mike said, I ran out of time so need to do a border bounce. Hope that makes sense, though pls note that some other folks read what I'd posted & they gave me great advice. Thanks! -
Hello, getting my yearly retirement visa was more complicated than the time I'd appropriated to that task, so I might not be able to get it. That's why I'm asking about crossings and stamps! I understand that I'm restricted to 2 border crossings, each giving 45 days, and each with a 30 day renewal. If I fly, would the number of border crossings be counted in the same way? It used to be unlimited. Thank you.
