    immigration charging for tm30?

    in Thai Visas, Residency, and Work Permits

    Posted

    I've been in LOS since mid April 2016 staying in a rented apartment, never filed ( or had filed for me) a tm 30.
    After returning from a trip outside Thailand mid December I decided that I should maybe bite the bullet and get the tm30 and receipt stapled in my passport. Got relevant docs together and appeared Pathum Thani immigration 19th Jan expecting a 1600 baht fine.
    Must have caught them on a good day because no fine and no charge either !!

    So, it seems a real hit and miss affair !!

    Let the train take the strain – head South for the trip of a lifetime!

    Last year I went Bangkok to Prachuap Khiri Khan by bus , stayed a couple of days then to Surat Thani by train, 4 days in Koh Samui and then back to BK overnight on the train.
    Okay, the trains weren't great but I was in no rush and enjoyed the " adventure ".
    Would definitely do it again, as said previously, it's relaxing and the scenery is beautiful .

    Looking for a letter opener

    in Chiang Mai

    One could always attach string to them, as it easily locatable in the 7/11, and then hang the red handled scissors around ones neck as one would do with one's spectacles. Care must be taken when wearing both appliances that one does not inadvertently try to open one's letter with one's spectacles, or poke one's eye out with one's scissors.

    If one is inclined to follow roo860's advice then I have the perfect solution !
    One can purchase a red handle scissors safety shield to prevent one poking out ones eyeballs.
    Red handle scissors safety shields can be locatable at 7/11, Watson's and Mini Big C ( or is that Big C Mini? )
    One can then feel free to go about ones business safe in the knowledge that one is fully covered in every eventuality !!

    What movies or TV shows are you watching now?

    I use a site called FMovies and its brilliant. Has every new movie and t.v.series episodes as released every day by all countries. Can't find any site better its totally free, no ads but use an adblocker anyway cause it does get hacked by redirects time to time, cause it's so popular.

    I just checked this out and it does look very good !!

    For example, I could stream or download a new movie ( for example Hacksaw Ridge etc ) without having to sign up or sign in !

    Thanks very much !

    Everyday carry mony

    Thanks all, I was watching a retire in Thailand video and the dnodmads couple were talking about shop keepers refusing to take a 1000,00 note.  So I started  wondering just how much coin and paper you los lifers carry. Thanks much for the replies
     
    1 vote briefs!!!


    Some taxi drivers are insistent that they don't have any change for whatever note !!, and yes shop keepers do turn their noses up at 1000 baht notes.

    I tend to pay with larger notes at 7/11, Big C, Tesco etc just for the change.

    Oh and by the way 7/11 is 7 and Tesco is Lotus !!
    ( it's a Thai thing )

    Seven applicants in police exam cheating scandal have results cancelled

    in Thailand News Headlines

    Posted

    7? out of how many?that cant be the final number surely.

    "National police deputy chief Pol General Dechnarong Suticharnbancha Friday presided over a meeting at the Royal Thai Police headquarters of the team which was set up to probe exam cheating at the Metropolitan Police Bureau (MPB) and the Provincial Police Region 1 and 7.

    The results at the Provincial Police Region 1 and 7 were announced Friday, while the MPB’s results will be out on January 30."

    More to come on Jan 30, my guess would be another random figure to appease the nation.

    And stop calling me Shirley !

    Took my car into Honda for a service and as always took everything out, but the gf forgot to remove the amulets hanging behind the windscreen sun shade ( what are those things called ?), and a couple of days later noticed now only 4 instead of 5.
    What can you do, our word against theirs .

    But stuff like this, petty thieving, certainly p***es you off !! [emoji35][emoji35]
