I  have contributed a couple of times already......SO I WILL SAY IT ONE MORE TIME.....I went and signed in for 90 days......on the 11th June.....was there for 3 minutes.....all done and dusted.....now have to sign in again before 8th September....

This was at Immigration..soi 5 JOMIEN......end of story and I will NOT post anymore on this subject. I will say, finally, that one can go sign in anytime before 31 July.....UNDERSTAND ????

Yup

but can also wait till July 31 st as well, without going to the office 

Anyone know the difference between the word "Slave" and the word "Indentured Servant"?

Just been told off on another site,  for using the word Slave, in relation to the Irish people being captured and shipped overseas. But in the books and Folklore they use the word Slaves when talking about the Irish and the Vikings,, But it seems the words "Indentured Servants" should be used for these folk. Is this a word we should now use for all these black "Slaves "  
Got to admit, it makes it sound so much better

no mention of race so I guess all Thai.  

I was never one to enjoy a party past 2 am and that messed up my next day.  thai clubs to loud for me and smoking allowed.   20 years behind common sense.   maybe the drug use was discrete?  since a low % purple.  I don't suggest anyone travel to Thailand anymore but  when I did advise people I told them make sure you don't smoke marijuana before you go to Thailand in case you have to pee on a strip.  

What happens if you can't pee. ?

So you give the IO the YouTube link and say this is the law?

 Nope, just printed of the paperwork from the official immigration site, in English, and in Thai, both of which she denied where correct, and proceeded to fine me, but only after stating "she no understand" 

Maybe i would be better printing off the youtube  link, she might accept that one , lol

So yes, will try and stick with online reporting , at least i can shout at the computer when it wont work properly

Yep, get information on whether you can stay in Thaialnd from You Tube.

Yup, nearly as good as getting information from my local Immigration office. The ones who refuse to accept, or believe the official paperwork supplied by immigration. The ones who make up their own definition of what the rules say, and quiet happily fine you if you don't accept their version

I keep reading these bad experiences on TV forum ....

 

*BUT* on 15th (Monday) I went online for very first time, filled out the form and submitted it.  Later around 3pm, on very SAME DAY, I got an email stating that I was approved.  I went back to immigration website, entered in my info to retrieve my approval and then printed them out.  It was fairly straight-forward process.

I tried to go online many times, her indoors tried it too, but could not get past the first page, and downloading the Apps didn't help either 

Will try maybe next month. Want to avoid the office if possible, get different requests, depending on which lady is see, And when they tell me " I no understand too" then i know I'm in trouble .

fyi, there is a "window" of 15 days to do online reporting. if you missed it, then you have to do it in person.

is this 15 day" window" , After the 31st of July ? when the amnesty ends ?

Fair enough. 

 

That you don't need to do the current report is definite. 100 percent. 

 

The specifics about the next report have not been announced yet. 

 

There will be news about that near the end of the amnesty period. 

 

You will be able to find that news either here or other places. 

 

I suggest subscribing to the Integrity Legal youtube channel. He has already mentioned this issue in videos and he will definitely post when the policy is official. 

 

 

Thanks again Jingthing

Will look for the channel channel on You Tube  

Edit

Found and subscribed !

I did mine online 4 weeks ago. IT solved the confusion issue.  You don't have to do it, but Immigration seem quite relaxed if you want to, at least in Pattaya that is.  

Been trying to do it online for the last few days. Would be very happy if I could even get into the system to let me do it

The is no doubt that 90 day reports are not required now. It clearly stated in a ministerial notice approved by cabinet that states they are not required.

immigration will announce when they are due when it is decided the amnesty will not be extended again.

Thanks for that quick and sound reply

Will wait till they announce different now and relax

Thanks again to all,

You do not need to do this report. 

 

The consensus theory is that the next report will be due 90 days after the current report done or not done. 

 

However that is only a theory because it's assumed that immigration won't want their offices packed the day after the reporting amnesty ends. 

 

 

Thanks for the quick reply,

but still a little confused, (which is normal i suppose, when anything concern Thai immigration)

So (in theory) i miss this 90 day report, and then reapply when my next 90 day is due >

what happens if we are wrong ? Would it be just a fine, or something worse ?

thanks again

It’s not that difficult to order battery from lazada and change it yourself,,,or many of the small phone shops can change it.

Thanks taninthai, 

was going to try that first before ordering new Pad,

Would rather let someone more skilled than me change it

Seems a shame to scrap what is still a very good machine, just for a battery

Car is in repair at the moment so a real pain trying to get to town, will wait till car is ready

Thanks again 

Hi there, not sure if i am just being very thick, but am struggling to know if, and how to do my 90 day report 

Its due tomorrow, 19th June, so do I, or do I not, need to report, until after the 31st ?

Have tried doing the online way, which i managed no bother last time, but now cannot even get into the pages. Have tried on iPad,( wont bring up access to pages, times out) Android phone (app wont let me register ) and on my PC, which again, will not let me get much further, when i click on "I agree" then next page, i get the boxes asking for mobile, or not mobile, neither of which works I am using Google Chrome to access these sites, so not sure what i'm doing wrong

Any advice would be much appreciated, Going to the office in person would be a real pain, car is in for repair, so hard to travel the long distance  there and back

Yes, in my case the insurance company raised the premium from 14.000 to 17.000 THB, though I expected a no-claims bonus. T.I.T.

In my case, went down from 10,300 to 7,900 THB after small accident

May I sumarize : 800k Two Months before!  NOT less than 800k for 3 months and NEVER less than 400k SIMPLE!!!

that depends on your office and the idiots working there. I had a copy, in Thai, and in English, showing this 2 months before, but was told NO, 3 months and refused to look at the paper, saying they did not understand it. Then they proceeded to fine me for being 1 day late in depositing the 800,000 due to being one day late according to their thinking 

So no, not simples !!

So they still have checkpoints ?

Surely all the locals know of them and just use side roads to avoid ?

It is all i ever did when out on my bike, lots of ways to go round them, saves the pointless, photo, licence, passport, and questions check, and of course, the standard payments for anything they can come up with.

I was finding that excessive external heat was causing battery rundown, and started placing it on cooler surfaces or used the stand-up case to let heat dissipate.

Thanks, i often use the case , but have had it shut down before when it overheats, usual when i'm outside in the sun, so avoid that now

Think i will go for a new IPad air, Just take a couple of weeks for delivery, then its trying to find a decent case for it, cos the new Pads are slightly bigger than mine, which is a pain, cos i bought a really nice leather case while in the UK

Apple batteries have a tendency to fail quite suddenly. For a replacement, I recommend Dr. Smartphone in BKK (Asoke)

(18/8 Fico Building, 5th floor, Unit 504 21 ถนนสุขุมวิท Sukhumvit 21 (Asoke) Rd, Khlong Toei Nuea, Watthana, Bangkok 10110)

Professional, fast no-nonsense service while you wait.

Thanks Logic. Any idea what sort of price for replacement ?

Suddenly !! It went from being long life to less than 1 hour, . Didn't know this could happens. Always thought the battery would fade more slowly over time

Did you try to reset it? I once had a problem after an IOS update and my iphone didn't charge anymore. After I reset it the problem was gone. It hasn't be the battery. Try to reset it first. 

 

1. Press and hold the top button and either volume button on your iPad.
2. Continue holding them as the screen turns off.
3. Continue holding them until you see the Apple logo.
4. Release the buttons.

 

 

Yup, hard reset, didn't work , but thanks anyway

I don't disagree...  But when the lights and siren are blaring away, it's an emergency vehicle.  Stand your ground at your own legal peril.

 

why would they need to be so close to the car ?

It looked like the other lane was empty, so why not use that lane. 

An ambulance or fire engine, yes, move out of the way, police and other idiots can make their own way through

Next time in the UK, let your Thai friend go and deal with the Transport office in Thai and see how far she gets. You don't seem to understand that even between you and your Thai friend who speaks English, there is a sh#tload of meaning lost in translation. Try learning Thai and you will see what I mean. Loosen up, you'll live longer. ???? 

yup, in the uk, would get proper service, which would include paperwork translated into whichever language was required, unlike in Thailand

Lost in translation, Ahhh, so the paperwork we were handed and  told to fill in, the copies of Thai ID cards, House book etc, that were demanded were only a figment of imagination, and lost in translation ?

Care to explain how, the extra paperwork, became a sh##tload of meaning lost. I think they made it very clear, and much to the annoyance of the Thai speaker,  no paperwork as requested, no tax. 

Why would speaking Thai, as the conversation was, make any difference to the outcome ? As already stated, if you read it properly, extra paperwork was requested, without which no tax would be forthcoming . What would you recommend a Thai speaker say to the person behind the counter, "get stuffed" ? F##k off? or just accept, right or wrongly, that that is what is needed, 

Loosen up ? Sometimes i do ,that depends on the customer service provided to me.
