Hi All, Going to do the extension of my Non-O multiple entry visa based on marriage at CM immigration. 400k+ of money seasoned as of today. Does anyone have a list of all that is needed for CM immigration for this extension? I went to the immigration office by the airport and was handed forms but there was no list of supporting docs or pictures or etc... like there used to be. Then went to the CM immigration website but I know the list of docs and info is incomplete for this type of extension. Also, can this extension be done online? I saw that some extensions can be done but they want you to set up an account first to see which. Lastly, I would imagine once the application has been submitted, I would not have to cross a border at the end of my 90 days on the multiple entry visa, but I think I would have to do a 90 day reporting, correct? All help greatly appreciated! Thanks in advance.

Trillions,

Sorry, Thailand has an abundance of food, it why China wants it!

Each life is different, we spent only such a short life on this level of existence who is to say as their life is/was/will be what is right. Some of us that partake in alcohol, it is a different experience than others. What would be a relaxation or mild inhibition to you would actually be a euphoric experience to someone else. We are all built a bit different which is why, anything disease-wise, those that have a certain difference would inherit the earth. The genetic difference/and its expression and our understanding and appreciation for it is our future. My grandparents died in their late 80's and were rampant daily beer drinkers and smokers. Probably had to be less stressed with life and just enjoying it while we can. Maybe the village drunk had it right all the time ????

Ya, I can possibly see it. 3 people, non-stop flight from Chiang Mai to Samui with cheapest near beach accommodations we could find, 2.5 weeks, low season (there now) nearly $2,000 USD just for those two parts of the trip! Weather is pretty kickass though. 82F at 3pm, short late afternoon thunderstorms keeps the mossy's/temp down. Far cry from 95F plus humidity taking it to 109F in CM!

Hear you on the same eateries. Been here 7 years now and we have settled into routine of about 10 restaurants. Problem is we really like what they have. Some places it is for a single dish they make. However, every time we think of going somewhere new we are like, why should we spend on a chance when we know we will be happy if go to one of our normal haunts.

While the gettn's good....

Careful with MSI machines. A slew of models were equipped with overly tight screen hinges leading to breaking the screen bezel hinge attachment that warranty won't cover. There is an effort in the US for a class action lawsuit over it. The machines themselves are actually pretty good for power for the buck.

Shhhhh, best way to ruin something is to advertise it ???? Seriously, spent a good amount of time looking for a strategic location and this is it for us. NIS school 4min from house on top of the aforementioned.

Yes, still required but a slimmed down requirement. After a border bounce, I will go in again with passport and rental agreement (no copies) only.

As well as everything else once the high speed train gets in and China siphons off most of Thailand's agriculture. It runs right through Thailand's Bread Basket.

Hi all, returned 3 weeks ago from the US entering Thailand in Chiang Mai under a new Non-O multiple entry based on wife. Returned to our house in CM we have rented for the last 8 years. Went to immigration the next day armed with rental agreement, signed copies of owners ID cards, TM-30 form, passport etc... to immigration next to the airport. Was a number of people ahead of us but went quick. Imm. Lady basically ignored all the docs, looked at my previous TM30 slip in my passport, asked if I am still at the same address which I replied yes. She then stamped the TM30 slip and said, in the future, only need to bring the slip and my passport as long as I am living in the same place. Each office have their particular procedures. Best to call once you re-enter the country to see what the flavor of the day is. Would have saved me a chunk of time and effort. Hope all well with everyone.

I can not count the number of times his advice has helped myself and others with his clarity on Thai law and other matters. He will be greatly missed. Best wishes to his family here and abroad.

Ya, what part of this bill protects me from them aka Valentines in Chiang Mai!

When the exchange rate was darn near 38 to 1 USD, would have to talk to the wife about the final number but was a bit over $800 USD.

Ram Hospital, about $800 USD for endoscopy, colonoscopy, ultrasound of abdomen, chest x-ray, and blood work, very reasonable compared to the states. There were a few blood work items that were not included but Bria lab in CM has a very full menu of diagnostic tests that are much cheaper than the hospital. Good if you know what your looking at for the reported results. For blood clots, depends where in the body you have concern. There are blood tests to rule out certain clots, some parts of the body can use ultrasound, some parts require CT scan with contrasting dye.

Thus was Harum, one of the Suzy Wong group.

Yup, almost happened to a buddy of mine and I about 6 weeks ago, skedaddled out of that place once we saw what was going on there. The Suzy Wong group of places were not much better with huge bar fines (3k+) and ridiculous take home price requests from the ladies. Everyone trying to make up for COVID losses I guess.

What about tourists already in the country? Have friends that showed up 8 days ago planning to stay for 90 days. Do they now need to run out and get Covid health insurance?

God at least they were not stuck on the plane for several hrs with this total ear worm playing (4.5 millions view BTW)!

The plain and simple fact is Thailand is running out of available energy producing resources and is haivng to rely on pricey imports. Natural gas is big in Thailand for electricity production but the production of available reserves is lagging badly. Here is a good reason for part of it. https://www.energyvoice.com/oilandgas/asia/423027/thailand-needs-shale-gas-moment-as-energy-crisis-deepens-on-ptteps-watch/

Losing value? Thai baht is about 1.5 baht stronger that it was 2 weeks ago.

Just received notice from the School that Immigration has called off the reporting. Thanks for input everyone. Moderator can close thread please.

My child goes to a higher end International School here in CM and we just received notice a couple of days ago that there is now a requirement to report if you are going to leave Chiang Mai Province at least 3 days before you go and to report where you are going. Anyone else seen this? Thanks in advance.
