Why this troll thread has the right to be running and alive while the funniest answer have been deleted? ???? I'm disappointed...

I took a look at the meter today and 8 kwh (units) of usage in a single day, down from the 13 or so daily average of last month but still higher than the 4-5 it should normally be at.

 

Also we can see the meter is spinning way faster than the meters of the adjacent two units. A walk around confirmed almost nothing was on in my apartment at the time it was spinning so fast.

 

My landlord called for an electrician to come tomorrow to inspect the source of the problem.

Did you check the water heater? If it's on max heat it will never turn off automatically and skyrocket your bill, it happened to me when I rented a villa. I'm speaking about traditional water heaters, if you live in condo it's less likely that you have one but who knows..

Sounds like your 'lawyer' is just acting as an agent.    You can renew any visa you like for 30,000 bt via an agent!!

Total bs. Retirement visa are not "any visa". Do you have experience or you just speak by hearsay? 

So why don't we all renew visa for 30k/year ahah tell this to those who spend 100k/year for the elite? I guess they're idiots since as you say any visa can be renewed for 30k?

I want to stay for some more months in Bangkok, but I don't know how can I do.

 

The overstay option is very risky.

 

An Student Visa, I would be willing to study the thai language for some months, but if I understood correctly I would need to go outside Thailand, so how can someone get an Student Visa if the borders are close?

 

I need an student visa inside Thailand, and I would go to the classes.

 

What kind of agents are those you are talking about? They don't seem very reliable haha

 

Someone told me that you can buy an student visa in Pattaya, are you talking about the same?

 

I have a lot of doubts, I don't see any extension coming, <deleted>!

Some "schools" (read: agents) can issue the ed visa without going out of Thailand (for double the fee, of course). Just go into language schools in your area and ask..

Ps: you need to be on visa exempt or tourist

So this is really an agent bribing an IO correct? Are people on visa exempt and amnesty eligible for this?

It depends what visa type you had before amnesty. If on visa exempt it is possible

Fortune teller accountant????

Ahahaha it's so funny!!! 

So funny that she gave me a price quotation and when I asked her an information she called an IO at immigration right in front of me.

She was lying right?

so a backdoor route to a non B, not offical

Basically yes, a big under the table ripoff well organised between connected people/agents and IOs. I saw that coming. 

I have an update. Basically they charge a fee (30000) just to change from tourist to non b in country. Not possible to change from ed to non b. This could be just an agreement with Phuket immigration though...

Imho they wanted so bad travel bubbles (especially with China) but they have been rejected. 

Makes sense to extend everyone 30 days and give option to get a non b in the country. So everybody who wants to stay just pay an agent and get a non b. Those who are not willing to pay will have to leave. 

I bought an infinite list of items from Lazada, no problems. When you buy expensive stuff there are official stores (Apple official seller, Samsung official seller and so on and product are guaranteed as bought in store...). It's up to you to be smart enough and do proper research. A mini washing machine what is one of those plastic washing machines that cost 1500 baht? Come on..

There ya go. 699 unlimited data full speed (usually 130mbps). Of course depends on your coverage. Finn Mobile uses DTAC network. Order sim online. Cancel anytime. 

The limit is 2 runs from land border per year.

I think most of those still here can afford to stay, and are here because they want to be. However, based on previous experience, I bet there are quite a few people here who have not left because they cannot raise the airfare, and are barely surviving.

The airfare to let's say Europe is 20000 baht. Living in Thailand in a cheap apartment and eating rice will cost you probably 20000/month. So I don't understand how people without money would be on visa amnesty for that reason.

The 31st of July deadline was to give people more flexibility to leave.

Still here tho. For free.

Cancel and book another place.

Should be plenty available.

It depends on the cancellation policy of the owner. If it's strict, you are not going to get full refund. 

If you like the property, stick with it. Tell the owner that yes you have the health certificate and if he wants to see it just provide something you made on Word with some generic hospital certification your name and passport number. 

First of all, if he is speaking about co-owners committee he should not be entitled to rent short term the apartment as he would need a hotel license. Short term rentals are illegal in condominiums. Ask him if he's going to comply with the tm-30 regulation then?

Second, just print a document in word saying that you are healthy ???? 

It was common in the 60-70's for middle class men to go regularly to the barber and have their beard shaved with a razor.

Yeah, it's 2020 so come to your own conclusions now, I said enough...
