Thanks for the info - good to know that the under consideration stamp doesn't invalidate any previously granted permission to stay.

So if I apply on the 20th May with an under consideration period until 20th June and I return back on 4th June using my existing extension/re-entry permit, it is likely they will stamp me in for just a few days until the 8th June (expiration of my initial extension) and then I will remain in Thailand 'under consideration' until the 20th?

Just re-reading some of the suggestions properly. So it looks as though my initial plan will be ok to go out and back into Thailand using my existing re-entry permit during the under consideration period for my new extension. This would be my preference as it means I am not leaving it until the last minute to apply for the new extension and also means I can use the multiple re-entry permit one last time before my existing extension expires.

Thanks for the suggestions everyone. Applying for the extension when I get back was something I had considered - I just don't like usually leaving it until the very end of the existing extension in case there is something I forget to include when submitting and then need to go back the next day. But I should be able to get it all in order so this would probably be the best approach.

Yes - maybe it would be better to get a new re-entry permit to be on the safe side

Thanks for the info. I wasn't sure if I would just need to get another re-entry permit that aligns with the under consideration stamp even though I already have one for my current stay and will be travelling out and back in within that original extension time frame. As for when the under consideration period is stamped from, I looked at my stamp from last time and it was 30 days from the day that I applied - but it must vary depending on the office.

My current extension based on marriage is good until 8th June 2024. I already have a multiple re-entry permit which allows me to come in and out of Thailand until this extension expires. I have plans to go away for a long weekend outside of Thailand at the very end of May, arriving back around 4th of June. My plan is to apply for my new extension based on marriage around 20th May as I understand it can be done up to a month in advance of the current extension expiring. From past experience this will mean I get an 'under consideration stamp' requesting me to return to immigration on 20th June. The reason for applying around 20th May is that I guess that the house visit will subsequently be planned to take place once I am back from my trip. Will it be ok for me to go out and back into Thailand during this under consideration period? The dates of travel as mentioned above fall within my current extension and I have a re-entry permit already. And I will of course tell immigration of my plans when submitting my new extension application, so that any house visit by the officers doesn't coincide with when I am away. Just wondering if this plan sounds ok or if somehow the application of my new extension will alter my existing re-entry permit and/or expiry date of my current extension of stay? It's for Chonburi immigration (if that makes any difference) Thanks in advance

Pupen is very popular for seafood. The Kebabist is a good quite new Indian place in Jomtien. Indian By Nature also great. Masala Twist decent too.

When I saw the title I thought you would be looking for an American handyman. Was expecting comments about work permits not being given to foreigners for such occupations.

Thanks Steve - I will take a look

Ok thanks for the info and the rough price range - definitely would be wanting to avoid any cowboys as have heard horror stories. Do you know what the typical construction time is for something like this? It will be in the Pattaya area but for later on in the year - just wanted to do a bit of research now to see what to expect and then go and get some quotes etc in a couple of months from now

Could anyone tell me approximately what it would cost to get the following pool built? And also the estimated actual construction time? 8x4m overflow salt water pool I appreciate that price and build time could vary depending on many things - but just looking for some ballpark estimates based on anyone with recent experience of current costs etc.
