You do not say where you are doing but immigration, even in Bangkok, is basically still a hard copy haven - last week they had to get last years hard copy file to prove what method I had used for retirement extension of stay (money in bank or income).   Some offices may not require you fill out if have history with them but basically you are submitting a new TM47 for each report.

Thanks.

I'm reporting to Jomtien, so I'll plan for the worst scenario.

You always fill out a new TM47 (online you just paste previous information using mag glass icon to fill out form) - the print out from immigration is a receipt for the previous report - not a report itself.  Be sure to keep a copy to make sure future reports are exactly the same (assuming no change in address and not already in computer).

Thanks for the info.  I'm aware the print-out is a receipt for the previous report.  My address has not changed.  Why query is if I can use the last print-out.  If immigration only need to type in my passport number to their system, and can see my re-entry stamp in the passport, do I need to fill-in a TM47?

After returning to Thailand with a re-entry permit, my first 90 day report is due in a couple of weeks.

Question:

Can I use the last immigration print-out, which has obviously expired, or must I fill-in a new TM47?

Thanks in advance for any information.

This case is 10 years old.  Why does it take so long for an investigation into malfeasance to be conducted.

........ because envelopes are ordered by the thousand, and must be used-up.

Assuming you've stopped breathing and your heart's stopped, everything after that's irrelevant.

When did the rules change so that it is OK for monks to drive vehicles?

Probably the same time that they bought their top of the range iPhones and laptops, and spend afternoons visiting local ice-cream establishments.

This aims to generate extra revenue for the government and prevent Thai people from spending excessively overseas, according to the poll. 

Who Else!

I've read some rubbish, but this takes the biscuit!

And the foreign tourists being milked for their last pocket change!

I think the next time I visit my home country, it'll be with a one-way ticket.

I've used Lazada for years.  I tried Shopee for a couple of items, but they don't have tracking and took about 1 week to deliver.  With Lazada, quite often I get next day delivery, can track when delivery is planned and always get a phone call to check I am at home.

10 arrest warrants? how many times you need to arrest someone? it should say ane arrest warrant and 10 charges are brought/laid against the woman.

Yes, but they get to use more paper!  

A global travel distribution company has announced the return of Chinese tourists during the May Day holidays. 

Thanks for the warning.

When I was serving in The RAF, living in married quarters, I witnessed a guy beating the s**t out of his wife at the bottom of the stairs.  The front door was open, so having seen it, I couldn't ignore it.  I went in and pulled him off, throwing him out the door.  He couldn't say much as I out-ranked him, but his wife was quite annoyed that I had intervened, and told me to F*** Off and mind my own business. 

So, would I intervene again!   If it was on private property, not a chance!  If it was in public, maybe, although not really recommended in Thailand. 

The reason to celebrate Songkran by showing respect to your elders went out the window a long time ago.  Now, it's just another cash-cow.

Rawai – A wallet has been returned to a tourist after children in Rawai found and handed the wallet to a law enforcement officer.

What's a "Law Enforcement Officer"?  That's new to me; perhaps I've been here too long.

Read the attached.

So you are saying someone stole his wallet while he was riding his motorcycle, before the accident? Grow up.

 

 

This is the problem with this forum, uneducated comments from members. 

 

Keep your nose out of business you know nothing about, being too lazy to read the article then making antagonizing comments is childish and I'm fed up with your type, leave me alone. 

All of you antagonizers, leave me alone, I don't make offensive, stupid comments to your weird, fairy-tale comments or mythical investigation thoughts, I have a laugh and move on. 

 

It's not worth replying to that.  

Chill out and keep taking the tablets.  Have a nice day.

I'd been riding big bikes since I was old enough to get on one.  But here in Thailand, I have a 125cc.  

Pattaya isn't the best place to get back in the saddle.  No doubt you've seen the way they ride. My advise is to get a basic 125cc and get used to it before joining the daily free-for-all.

I'm sure brake checking doesn't happen in Thailand.

 

Allegedly, They don't work most of the time.

As far as phone scams are concerned, I don't answer the phone to anybody not in my contact list.  Emails the same - If it's in the spam box, I delete it without opening it.  I've even had spam emails with the names of family members in the address.  Text messages the same; I get them every day, but delete the obvious scam texts.

I always adhere to the above rules, and I've had no problems at all.

Ah before Rong Poh market..... Sukhumvit not a Rd to  cross on foot and certainly faster traffic there. 

Yes, and 114kmh is probably normal; I travel along that stretch quite often.

I tried to find soi 12 on Google Maps but could not....is it around Sawang Fah? Sukhumvit is lit but not very well, I think they are the old yellow type not giving out much light. There are also traffic lights around that area.....114 kph would seem a bit fast for that built up area. He admitted the road was very dark but felt 114 kph was suitable. 

The GPS N13.010465 E100.930822 is on Sukhumvit north-bound, about 800mtrs past Route 36, between Soi 14 and Soi 12, although Soi 12 is about 500mtrs further-on; obviously the reporter's eyesight is about as good as the reporting. 

If that's the picture the Thai local took, somebody needs to tell him that the dark skinned woman is nothing but a shadow.  I hope he was breathalysed when he handed-in the photo.
