Is this requirement only for new applications and or extensions or does it apply immediately for residing and entering oa visa holders?

I never leave home without credit card insurance, which probably won't be accepted,  will have to start back on tourist visas as they are exempt from everything. 

Thanks Joe, I thought as much but was hoping for a loophole.

Leaving Bkk to go back to AU, before doing so need to visit an adjacent country then return to bkk to take my flight back to AU, when leaving Suvarnahumi will obtain a re entry permit as i am on OA, however on returning to bkk from the said adjacent country I need to collect my bags and check in again, really don't want to use the re Entry permit for basically a transit, is there a way i can keep my re Entry until my return from AU?., hope I have explained the situation clearly enough.

Would you deny her a bed in your cell? 

After messing with Chrome for an hour I read from members here not to use Chrome, So tried Edge, piece of cake, just filled in what was listed in red, saved a pdf copy, all good.

I believe this to be very bad news indeed, they will make it more stringent than it already is, they are planning evil ways to exact revenge on those who complained about the system, many here are jumping up and down with joy only to be driven down with a sudden blunt blow.

Will check out the immigration q at suvarnahumi tomorrow and report back to see if there is any evidence of this influx of foreigners.

More like being in Baltimore Los Angeles or St Louis or Wichita or San Antonio take your pick....

Or Broadmeadows Melbourne 

Uk that is an incredibly high intake going by the weak pound,  I have to say though over the past year I have been to Vietnam, Cambodia,  Bali, and still my fav is Thailand, The people are what makes it great, next I will try India as the au is still reasonable over there,  but only to Goa. 

National security is not compromised by tourists?,,, how so?,  they are free to roam wherever they please,  what about tourist backpackers/campers  who will report them?. 

Do you also have to submit a tm28, as you are in fact changing your address if only temporarily?

Aud over the past month has actually gone up over the inr, might be time to go to goa. 

How about driving past Pattaya into Cambodia or Vietnam?, or from where you are into Malaysia, and forget bkk.

Now now boys settle down and think on the bright side,  it went down down down and the flames got higher lol! 

Even the Aud is sailing past the GBp,  might be a good time to visit London. 

They are getting serious about getting rid of expats????

Simply put ,,app does not work!, who writes these broken apps?, obviously not usa, must be china?, all their apps are filled with spyware, which is too busy spying on you to work effectively.

Yes the Baht is too strong, yes there are some ripoffs around, but :

 

Deluxe 1 bedroom condo on the sea in jomtien / pratamnak 20/30k per month

Eat at the foodcourt in Terminal 21 : 35/40 baht

Buy a jeans 2 t-shirts and some shoes at the market : 1000 baht

Get a girl at home for sex if you would like : 1000 baht

Yamaha Nmax, even with the high baht two-thirds of the price in Germany

Power, water and gasoline much much less expensive than in Europe

 

So yes please the baht back to 38 for the euro, but with 34.5 it's not as if everything suddenly is 10x as much

What draws anyone to a particular country for a holiday is Value for money,  Clean beaches, ease of obtaining a visa, however Thailand offers the following, long q's when you arrive, ripped off by taxi on way to your hotel, hotel in turn rips you off with the mini bar scam, and this is only day one, so your hot and go out for a beer...more expensive than your own country and tastes downright awful, forget the beer, you go to a restaurant and buy lunch, sure it's cheap and there is an amount that a pecker bird would get his fill on, fed up you cancel your hotel booking and receive no refund, get ripped off with taxi to airport, pay an outrageous price to bring your flight forward, and swear never to return, only to once again the following year fly in to keep tats statistics reasonable ????

I don't think it is as bad as they are making out, a quick search for hotels in Pattaya I can no decline in prices, if anything they have gone up, last year i got the march hotel for 28 a night, now it is hovering around 55, most others are in an upward trend, so it's not as desperate as some make out.

Overall if the baht was not so strong then numbers would increase dramatically, it's all about the $.

Ping Pong parden the Pun might be in trouble ????

Your all wrong, the guy was asked by the owner to take the boat to phi phi to undergo repairs to the engine and hull, then he got a better idea and reported it stolen!????

300% is criminal
