Well, that is impressive, I/we can ONLY hope your experience is the new standard of this immigration.....NOT likely, rather akin to a rare UFO citing.  However, I am glad your experience was so wonderful.

So ridiculous.....unbelievable....

What about the mandatory 90 day reporting and 800/400K for the visa money laundering BS...hows that working out?????

Coconut oil helps.  If ongoing consider a HET treatment.  Very effective, but not offered in thailand.

So Expats are getting the shaft and still under suspicion of possibly being an "international terrorist" as previously stated concerning alien visitors? Well what a steaming load...

YEP!!  you are DAMM right we do.  We are considered fugitives upon arrival.  Welcome to LOS and dont forget you TM30 reporting gentlemen...

No surprise again...this is constant here....

Be careful while near any roads if that matters to you...good luck.

Yep! shut it all down...

If the TM30 could be amended/deleted/improved, immigration was consistently transparent and fair, and cancel the mandatory health insurance, plus the 800/400K for the visa.... this place would be comparable to heaven.

Tea money????

no surprise here, many expats are leaving, tired of the immigration circus...

Thailand will be fine....I'd be more worried about expats leaving for other reasons:  TM 30 BS, mandatory health insurance, CM smog, high road fatality, etc...4am closing doesn't matter, there are bigger issues.

good luck!!!  Look what happened to the TM30 thread - did that make changes nope!

What a surprise - Not?

They must have heard about TM 30

YEA, and the mandatory health insurance, constant shakedowns, tea money, CM' lovey 5 months of smog, lady boy beat downs/robberies, safest roads in the world, etc, etc...imagine that....

This has now become a general paranoia!
TM 30 is a form to be filled out by hotels / resorts or private individuals hosting farangs!
Make an end to this really boring discussion that has led to nothing and will lead to nothing!

AH OK!  Thank you for educating all of us on TVF, there is "nothing" to worry about.  Good to know we can all just relax now.  I'll make sure to send any concerns others may have your way since I am too uneducated to put their concerns to rest. 

You ALL made the BEST choice....Philippines and Vietnam are amazing options to Thailand.  Enjoy! 

TM30 is never going to change, it's a money machine and a power play.

Bumrungrad hospital is amazing.  try their as well.  good luck.

It's simply NEVER going to improve....

Future is bleak at best....many of my good friends have given up and moved to other countries, NO longer interested in playing the immigrations games and hoop jumping circus.  They chose a path of least resistance.

While this is a great contribution to the discussion, the OP is clearly attempting to explain the issue and whether or not it is related to usage, which speaks to your "don't use electricity" advice. I would be curious to know what rights or options Thai people have that Farangs do not when it comes to electricity bills.

My point was, Farangs have NO rights here.  It is futile to dispute/argue/or challenge (god forbid that) in Thailand.  I realize the OP situation but my intention is to convey the hopeless circumstances/rights we are subjected to and by.  So much are the extremes that there is very little or nothing one can do, only accept or leave.  Look at it this way, what do you suggest as a solution?  Seek legal counsel, ask for a review of the Statement, etc??  Sure one can do all that and more, but the outcome I doubt, based on experience and TVF submissions will resolve the issue, the result is a hopeless/futile outcome. 

From speaking to many Thai girls, the census is NO, they don't like it's looks or feel.  I tried and they all said get that porcupine OFF your face if you want a Thai woman to stay.  Result;  I shaved it off and remained that way.  Now, big difference in girl action.  Before it was avoidance, now...Me love you long time!!!!!
