Every time a Thai is arrested someone will give the exact same comment.  How about something new and poetic.  BTW, there are nearly 400,000 Thais in prison right now who obviously didn't get away with a five hundred baht fine.

Yeah...400.000 Thais in jail for drug use....

Well some good news,once in a wile.

Well done...

1000's of ppls get killed on the road every two weeks and not a car was taken..but few fish and mashrooms and all your belongins gooone.

Keep going like this Thailand

Already left!

At list for a while,waiting for a change.

To many drugs and orgy my dear Silvio,you will not reach 130

Wedding dresses, pics,cards,around 20000 bath,for food depends, you should contact a catering service,1500 for a table of 8.

Dj not sure,but a stage with singers and dancers around 20000.

Congratulation!

I was there last Sunday,same 30 days exemption,the officer was very friendly,we chat a little,been asked many questions,about wife( I don't have one)all whent smoothly.

Previously one bar owner in Surin,told me they did stop give visa on arrival,so I whent two days before checking in both immigration in Kapchong and border in Chongchom,they told me there wasn't any problem.

Sorry for the farang got stuck there,very uncomfortable situation.

I suppose I am one of those brainless idiots but I have no plans to change. No doubt the insurance companies would have appreciated receiving money from me over the last 40 years or so but I wouldnt have gotten anything out of the bargain. I am in my 60s now and the only insurance I have ever had was for driving but there again I have made no claims.

For some life is a dangerous and unhealthy proposition, only compounded by living in Thailand. I probably spend more time worrying about quality of life and living too long. I personally have no desire to spend time in hospitals or undergo major surgeries. When my time comes, I know I have made the most of the time I have had, and there will be no regrets. I think people should be allowed to make their own decisions, and yes, even their own mistakes.

I just did it,you need to contact a lawyer,cost me 20000 bath,have a pre interview at the court,mother of the child needed,also the grandparents,been talk with each one,that the only time the family been needed if they willing

On the day of the court case,your daughter need to be present.

The judge will decide if you can have the the rights or not to change the divorce documents.

Than if the verdict is positive,must wait one month for the court paper,than go to the amphoer and change the divorce documents.

Good luck!

I have been there too,not a gun but a big macete,luckly i manage to take it off her hands and not use it on her.

Three years later the mom <deleted> off,now i spend the best of my time with my daughter.

So sorry for the man and boy,not a feeling for the mother,and the boyfriend.

...the part they don't read is 'loan;... father-in-law got a 'loan'.. family had to pay it back.. where are poor farmers going to get the money to pay back?????

1999 at 28 sick of Dutch wether,holiday,fall in love.

Now have a daughter 11,still in love,but a different girl.

Hi.My name is Leo i'm from Italy but i live in Surin most of the year.

Thanks to everybody!

Hi ubonjoe

follow your post from ever

you seem a competent and nice guy,never been ask for tabian baan from my child,only looked the divorce papers.My point for posting was to advert the many guys in overstay,be carefull,better you go fix it to your nearest immigration office,if you try go pay the fine to the border they may catch you on the way there.

And second,but not last,the mith of you can stay in thailand indefinietly

on turist visa,even Savannahket,that looks one of the easy consulates start give you turist visa only one time(so said the desk officer).

For me is not a massive problem because i go work once at year,and i 'll apply for METV next time,but for the many under age of 50 and not merried could be a problem.

I could affort a elite visa,but i not see the point to give that ammount of money to a governement that make our life so hard for stay here just for the sake to take care our childrens becouse their mother's not give a f..k.

Hallo everybody!

I'm a new member but following the site many years.

I'm living in thailand 17 years,going back working in Italy 3 month and spend the rest of the year in LOS.

I'm in Sawannahket now,just want to tell you the latest news about.

I did cross the border yesterday (sunday)at 7.00 am,there was police just before the border looking for farang on overstay,i can speak thai so i could chat with them a little,seem they start to enforce the new rules right now.

Today went to the consulate and try for a non'O'becouse i have a daughter in thailand,i did have all the documents needed:birth certificate(where i'm the legal father)a letter from my child asking for me to take care her becouse the mom she's working in chonburi,proof of money in the bank 400000 bath.

The application is been refused!

Give me only turist single,and i did ask how many times i could get it,the answer was only this time.

In the divorce documents my ex wife she's the one take care the child,i pay for the school.Last year the immigration in kapchong did give to me a extention of the'O'visa for child support('O'visa issued in savannahket)this year been refused.

They did come around my home and veryfied was a genuin child support,asking for petrol money.

I did ask how could i do?the answer from the desk officer,or you seaw your ex wife and get full custody of the chil, or you can forget she'ting look'.

This post is not a complain for the 'new'immigration laws just update for the less lucky one.

I would apply for a retirement visa but i'm only 44.

Good luck to everybody in mine position!

ps sorry for my english
