"Bangkok taxi driveR" ripping off farangs -- as in only ONE.  ????????????????????

Oh gee, color me surprised.
First male farang EVER to be swindled by an Asian woman, eh?

What Thai chicks have you been looking at?  I've seen PLENTY whose wide asses would rival any Western female's.  Give me a break.  

Oooh, a jealous and/or pissed-off Thai wife?  Oh, gee imagine that.  Now THOSE are rare.  **bigasseyeroll**

So, any immigration office will do, then?  I don't have to go through the process at the I.O. in the province where I live?  Thanks.

Hi. Sorry for hijacking this thread, but I didn't want to create a separate thread as I have some of the same questions that Jaffacake has.

I'm going to Savannakhet next week to get my Non-Immigrant B.  I'm a teacher here and I would like to return home to the United States in October during the term break.

So, I will need to purchase a re-entry permit, correct?  Do you know if I can do that in Savannakhet as I'm getting my Non-B?  I don't really want to get a multi-entry Non-B because it would cost, I believe, 5,000 baht whereas a Non-B plus a re-entry permit would be only 3,000 baht total.  (Correct me on the math if I'm wrong.)

I really do not want to try to get a re-entry permit at the airport.  It's pretty much a crap-shoot, especially if your flight is super-late at night or in the wee hours of the morning.

Any info you can give me would be much appreciated.

Thanks so much for your quick responses!!! It's much appreciated!!!

I am confused as all get-out. I have been up and down this forum looking for a straight answer but I'm seeing different answers everywhere.

My 90-day reporting is due October 24th. I am flying out of the country for good on October 29th. Do I still have to do 90-day reporting even though my leaving date is within the 7-day grace period?

One thread said a straight-up "YES". Another thread said "NO", that Departure Immigration at the airport won't care. I don't understand why the answer would be "YES". Seems pretty stupid to waste time doing a report if I'm leaving during the grace period and not planning on returning.

I'm also wondering because I've stayed at 2 hotels here in the past 2 weeks. Both checked my passport and the 90-day report slip inside and took note. I'm due to check into a hotel on October 26th. If that hotel sees that my 90-day report was due on the 24th, I wonder if they'll refuse to let me stay (even if they know about the 7-day grace period). But if I have a copy of my flight itinerary with me and tell them that I'm leaving, will that make my case for me?

Thanks!
