thanks its not the annual cost that hurts him its the big cost to get back to a retirement visa

his visa exempt stamp ran out on the 14th. so on overstay any recommendations for a visa agent that might be cheaper? hes living in Isaan, but used an agent in Pattaya for many years does 27,000 baht sound about right to get this retirement visa back, or could it be done cheaper , because living on the old uk pension means money is tight for him Thanks

i have to agree with you, i think he has at least half the money, but he hates paying for anything and keeps going on about how he only paid 10.000 before hes even talking about not paying and living on overstay, saying what can they do to an old man

seems he wasnt too bothered and wants around 27,000 baht before he will help, plus overstay fee

Hi there hoping someone can help an old friend of mine with some advice friend is 77 yeas old, been on retirement visa for many years, using agent he went to the uk for holiday, but didn't get a re entry permit before leaving , so when he arrived back, he was given a 30 day tourist visa he didn't look to check any stamp till a friend saw his passport. It seems his visa ran out on the 14th September , which puts hi on maximum overstay, at 20,000 baht ? he now has to pay the fine , maybe get another 30 days visa and then apply for another retirement visa? he was going to go to the ;local immigration offices and see what they say, but not sure if they will just let him pay and extend visa, or if they will lock him up he has very little money available , living on his state uk pension, the oid lower rate any advice would be welcome , for the easiest and cheapest way to remain here his other option is to do border runs, but at his age its not easy, and hes starting to lose some of his marbles too thanks

2.000 baht ? you get discount for being Hansum man ? 3.000 seems to be the rate around here , so m told

i have both UK and thai licences, I often used to offer my UK licence when pulled at road stops, not once was it refused most dont even know what an ID or UK licence looks like, cant read it, so just say ok and let you through Even when i first came with ID licence, mist had no idea what it was

koh Phangan ? 8 to 10,000 gets your a small house for the month never more than a dew minutes from a beach can party somewhere almost every night if wanted, but mostly bars are fairly quiet and relaxed

Gf has put post on FB showing these men you want me to post on here ? is it safe to do so ? i videoed it all, but didn't put that on FB in case it caused trouble for me being a falang not rural area, the main town on the island not sure what it is, pawn or gold, just going by what she called a gold shop. I have never been there so no idea saw a photo on guys phone showing GF on camera outside shop, so not sure if that's how they found her , she was wearing the shirt with our bar logo on it . But she sold this almost a month ago, seems the only find it fake when they melt it down As far as i know this was the 2nd time using this shop, once to buy, once to sell the same item we both kept telling him we had the receipt with the gold weight and item on it showing the sale, which to me meant anything after that is their fault , not ours. They check and weigh before buying i assume ?

It in Thon Sala, Koh Phangan, near food market but seems to be sorted now, the wife has just rung up and apologized makes me even more certain they sold my GF fake gold

Thanks seems a big shop but like you say, who knows but seems odd they suddenly backed down when we mentioned bringing the police to the shop

Hi there not sure if its in the right place but please move if not When selling gold to a gold shop, they weigh the gold, inspect it, and then issue a ticket receipt showing the weight of the gold I'm guessing hey also check the quality of this gold too ? Just had a mob of guys turn up at our house about 7 of them, one of whom is the gold shop owner They kept trying to hide from me videoing them for some reason they now claim the gold my GF sold is fake its the same ring that she bought from the same shop they wouldn't call the police when we asked them to, and after a lot of arguing they finally took her phone number and left PS just got a call from shop wife saying its now real gold !! Wonder if this is because they suddenly realised they sold her a fake gold ring before ? Strange !!

have a few roads like this on Koh Phangan hit a rock going up one just as steep, fell off the bike and slid a fair way took 4 helpers to lift the bike and get it up the hill never again !

Ha d to drop off a letter at the post office on Friday, nipped down on the bike Walked in with my helmet on, got a nasty look and told to take my helmet off Ok, no worries, took off my helmet, then told to put a mask on so i must show my face by not wearing aa helmet, open vizor, but must put a mask on that covers most of my face crazy places

Maybe I’m missing something, but having been in Thailand for 7 years now, with a NOn o retirement visa every year, with 90 day reports , with re entry permits, how can they not have records of me being here ? and surely it makes no difference if it’s done online as against in person, it’s still recorded somewhere

Sorry, I thought that I had, when I stated I that I called to do my 1st report in person but is it correct that I should return to the immigration office that issued my annual visa ? Thanks

Thanks but isn’t the first one to be done in person, then the others online ? have done online before, but it never allows me to use online until after the first one is reported in person

Hi there, just a couple of questions about change of address and 90 day report in person called to do the first 90 report in person as required guy that issues tickets, looked at my passport and told me I cannot do my 90 day there, I must drive back to Pattaya to do it, as that is where I got my retirement visa from is this correct ? I’ve done my 90 days in a different province before while travelling TM30, change of address I then asked if I could do a Tm 30 change of address from Pattaya to Koh Phangan tried to show him copies of the landlords house book, I d card and rental agreement he refused to look at them and just said NO when I asked why he started tapping at a paper I have never seen before after refusing to tell me what or why, I got told by French man that I must put an app on my phone, find this paper, print it off and then come back with it when I then asked immigration if that is every thinking , he said no, I need landlord i told him he cannot travel, and that I have the relevant paperwork, ut when I offered it to him he frufused to look , threw them back at me and told me to leave my question is what is this paper that they want, which I have never seen or needed in any other offices ? and why would I need to have the landlord there when I have the correct papers .? thanks for any help PS. I gave up , caught the boat back after a wasted day and decided to post to an agent instead

Hi thereI’m needing some furniture for house I’m renting and also a bar is there anywhere on Koh Phangan that sell these sort of things, tables, chairs, stools, etc, desk, office chair, and assorted other things if not there, is there somewhere on Koh Samui ? i know I can buy new, but prefer to save money, Any help would be much appreciated

Covid cases ?? any facts on how many deaths from this Omicron virus, or are they all counted as the same virus now, just like flu ? any more Facts" on what ages, healths of these people who died ?

so just your opinion then, no facts to back up ? If its happening, please show all us ignorant and illiterate people , so we can see for ourselves, how many are dying from this Omicron virus if the government stopped putting healthy people in the hospitals and let them isolate at home, there would be no problem for people to access medical care My lady is isolating at hospital, perfectly healthy, but has been tested positive, but not allowed to come home and isolate with me . so who is causing this so called problem ?

5 million have died fromOmicron ?? or 5 million have died WITH covid ? how many have died in Thailand from Omicron ?? Nobody has died so far in Nakhon Phanom from Omicron, but they keep shoving them into hospital rooms instead of letting them self isolate My lady is moving from the hospital to home, joining me in isolation, because they say they have need for more rooms, which they are now putting extra patients in what was a single room

any numbers and details of who is actually dying from this variant ?

so far so good, feel perfectly fine now, as i said, if nobody had told me, i would have assumed it was just a cold or mild flu and carried on with my life which is exactly what my two sons appear to have done

not now, but had a bit of a cough and sore throat for the first few day, plus a runny nose forst thing in the morning no problem with breathing or oxygen now, im feeling perfectly fine, but they insist i have to stay till the 12th my missus is in hospital with it too, she only had one vaccination, so shes got it a bit worse than me, but still not bad, just more of a cough thats lasting longer she chose to isolate in hospital, but the check up and service cannot be faulted from the staff,
