Those are 2 items I bring back along with Crest toothpaste. Bunch of acne medicines for daughter. Endless list.

I just ran the gauntlet SFO to BKK, bought an extra suitcase just for food, junk food and trinkets. I had 3 check in suitcases total for 2 people. I mixed it up between the suitcases so one suitcase didn't have too much. No problem. Been doing this for a number of years but story of xray at BKK keeps me on my toes.

The extension I got using an agent is as legit as the guy who painstakingly collected all paperwork themselves. I do my own now but renew my extensions as early as possible so if there's a glitch I still have time for an agent to get the job done for me.

Oh please, they'll plead whatever for shortest jail term. Even though they're guilty of nothing more than doing their job.

No, simply trying to spend the least time locked up.

I'm an American, I wasn't born there. But, I'm an American.....same same.

The 90 day Non O requires 800K in the Thai bank, then the extension you can go the 12 month of 65+K/mo route. I did the same recently.

Buy some of the less expensive pot. Take a hit or 2 and wait. You'll fine the right number of hits to take.

hu·mor [ˈ(h)yo͞omər] NOUN the quality of being amusing or comic, especially as expressed in literature or speech:

For me I started depositing 65K+/mo into Thai bank during my OA extension, then I left Thailand for 2 mos, came back visa exempt, 30 day extension, covid extension and then started on the Non O plus extension when I had 12 months deposits. Immigration never said anything about my status during the deposits.

I recommend a joint, few ice cold beers and a nice semi deserted beach. That puts everything into perspective.

I just got back from Ca and San Diego as well, I use premium and $6.60 was an average. You're right, makes no sense.

I had the monthly requirement when I applied for first extension. Or else the way you wrote needing to show 12 months.

Guess my 12 months worth only made sense to me. You're right and 800K in the bank to start.

For 90 day Non O you need 800K in the bank to start. After that you can use the 65K/mo, 12 months worth.

I paid 600thb like 5 yrs ago. There's a difference in the sturdiness, as difference in price. I used it to pain the house. Never again, now when I need ladders I buy the best, most expensive one I can find. Plus the bamboo ones don't stand the test of time.

I got an OA in 2019 when I started staying long term in Thailand. Too much hassle now and I switched over to Non O. If Covid hadn't happened I'd probably still be on the OA + extensions.

Is their really any up side with the OA instead of entering visa exempt and going for the O visa here in Thailand? I know not what you asked, but still a legitimate question.

Umbrella lady and as stated above guy with flip flops provides a clear understanding of priorities.

I worked at a glass plant, all the workers wore protective vests to cover arms, chest and legs, special gloves.

Freaking out is an exaggeration on your part. It's more bewilderment. At the school which relaxed the covid rules to include wearing masks outside. Yet when I picked up the kid from school, all kids wearing masks because no one wants to stand out. She wore her mask because the other kids did and they wear because all the adults working at the school wear masks. I must admit it was a bit odd not wearing a mask in the US, even in the most liberal city around SF, eating at Pier 39, no masks.

You first, and you know don't forget the mask.

You make a good point, maybe perhaps wear a helmet when I go for a walk, because well that would be even better. A bonus.

Yet the kids are all masked up checking in. I see a slow change among some locals here and go into local store with no mask and the checker had no mask, slow changes.
