OP Call the number and do it now
Samaritans English Help Line (Bangkok)
02-713-6791
www.samaritansthailand.blogspot.com
Note: This is a free, crisis intervention hotline service. They use a call back model. The client calls, leaves a number and a trained, hotline volunteer (either a native English speaker or someone fluent in English) will call them back within a short time.- 2

Your g/f must persuade the Entry Clearance Officer that she has good reason to return to Thailand. The ECO's are aware of the arrangements that are often made for children to negate having to return. As this is her first application I would suggest she plans a short visit and sticks rigidly to what she tells the ECO in her application. All Visitor visas are issued with a 6-month validity but are often refused if the ECO is not satisfied there is a good reason to return. If your g./f stays in the UK for a longer period than indicated in her application she will jeopardise any future application.

Are you missing something? Give me a cell in a Lab and I will guarantee it can be killed - no need for any fanciful claims about herbs etc --- I await the results from clinical trials of these three potions.

Another beer short of a six-pack reply. The point here is corruption. And the "draconian" penalties. A useful reply would have been to address those.
Not at all -- Alleged "corruption" and draconian consequence can both be avoided by not messing with drugs in SEA -- Easy ...........

Those running Windows 10 - Home Edition do not have this option

Yet again you are continuing to misunderstand that type of people that Immigration are giving problems to and/or denying
1You claimed "Others have been advised (here) to bring anything they could use - proof of work, income, etc. Offshore oil workers (a literal gold-mine of foreign-sourced income) have tried to show pay-stubs, etc." I provided an example which challenges what you say -- and you then say I 'misunderstand' I would suggest if there is any 'misunderstanding' it is not mine.
There is little point in this conversation continuing - I disagree with your opinion -- OK ?

Not really surprising. The Thais have for some time now been gradually tightening requirements for the issue of TVs in the region to discourage people who use back to back TVs as a means of living in Thailand.

Many, when questioned at immigration, offered to show bank-balances via logging into their bank on their phone. Others have been advised (here) to bring anything they could use - proof of work, income, etc. Offshore oil workers (a literal gold-mine of foreign-sourced income) have tried to show pay-stubs, etc.
Immigration cannot simultaneously say, "We just decided, without any evidence, that you don't have enough money." Then, when shown evidence proving their wild-guess was bs, say, "AH-HA - you have proof of adequate-money, so you must be an Imposter." I am imagining an even a more ridiculous character than Inspector Clouseau saying this.
Note that many consulates require bank-statements to apply for a Tourist Visa. It's a different process, but for the same purpose.
Mmm..... A friend of mine is married to a Thai lady and works overseas- He is never able to spend more than 28 days in Thailand so makes use of VE entries -- He was once challenged by an IO -- He explained his situation and has never been challenged again - he continues to use VE entries.

Some have reported IOs refusing to even look at bank-statements, etc.
The normal holidaymaker does not usually travel with bank statements - those that do are likely not what they claim to be - fit a profile - and are rightly refused entry.

I had this update on my main PC today, no problems at all!
Then you must have initiated it .......... but from where? -- Microsoft has not yet released the update
-
People would be well advised to delay installing the latest(next) update which has been reported to have been bedeviled with bugs which prevented its earlier release. Better wait than have a computer bricked

If you want to keep your extension of stay alive a re-entry permit is required. The permit can be obtained from the immigration office that issued your extension or from either of the Bangkok airports at the time of departure.

It depends on what you want -- If you obtain a new sim card in the UK you will not be able to use the same number as you now have -- on the other hand, a roaming facility is likely to prove expensive

Anyone who messes with drugs, anywhere in SE Asia must be a slate short of a roof. Penalties can be draconian and the person cited by the OP was very lucky.

Jolly easy for reference, a lawyers dream. Are we still bound by law to practice the longbow?
A longbow is preferable to a war weapon as favored by at least one country with a written constitution.

Just another expensive quack product aimed at those who are naive. You are correct in your evaluation!

So basically you don't have a constitution in black and white to refer to.
The British constitution primarily draws from four sources: statute law (laws passed by the legislature), common law (laws established through court judgments), parliamentary conventions, and works of authority.[ Very different from an old written document which legalises the possession of single shot.muzzle loaded guns which is now interpreted as meaning every man and his dog is entitled to own modern-day war weapons.

Cannabis shows promise as a cure for cancer.
There are over 200 distinctly different forms of "cancer" The evidence for cannabis being a "cure" for all of these diseases is very weak and based largely on anecdotal reports from potheads.

A multiple entry non-O only allows for 90 day permission of stay per entry, no need to make 90 day report as you're not stay over 90 days.
There is the O-A visa which allows a one-year permission to stay which would require 90-day reporting if remaining in the country for more than 90 days.

I think you will discover that you will have to make your own arrangments - AFAIK there are no 'visa run' companies who go to Savannakhet
