Maybe he could have spent that minute contacting the Minister to find out whether it was real or fake ?

I'm sure he would have if it were that simple. I doubt he has the bloke on speed dial.

If anyone else with a twitter account wants him to be forced to verify the account with a photo ID here's how:

Instead of posting that on twitter, wouldnt it be better if he spent his time finding out whether the post was genuine and then posting about whether it was real or fake ?

I don't see any issue spending a minute of time telling people to chill until it's confirmed.

Good advice.

The building opposite my own has fibre, but mine doesn't because the building owner "doesn't want it" despite the fact the ISPs told me they'd install it for free. ????

I haven't seen the link for the original tweet so here it is

The account is brand new and unverified so.. could be a troll.

Edit: Seems like the tweet was just removed

Here is one of them being caught red handed.

 I want to get the old  version back  

It's generally not advisable to use an outdated browser for security reasons.

However, you could try using a restore point to return your computer back to a previous state.

Again, Hold the windows key + R

In the box type: rstrui.exe

Carefully read the window that opens to understand the process of a system restore.

Hopefully you will have restore points from previous dates, so for instance you could go back a week or a few days.

Hold the Windows button + R and type a web address in the run dialog, which browser navigates you to the website?

Maybe try downloading the installer from the microsoft website: https://www.microsoft.com/en-us/edge

You do not send your passport when doing 90 day reports by mail. You only need copies of the photo page and etc.

Oh right, also good to know. Although getting the online report done in a timely manner still seems more convenient, providing that it works given the aforementioned 12ish days.  I'm sure there's an FAQ for these things somewhere that I need to find.

My wife does mine by mail never had a problem.

I'm not trusting the Thai post with my passport.

Online reporting needs to be done about 12 days before your due date. Off to Chaengwattana you go.

I love how there's always so many rules like this that are never explained until you hear it through the grapevine.

Don't want to derail but I didn't think my question warranted a new thread. Has anyone else had issues with reporting online recently? My due date is tomorrow and I'm just getting the "For further information regarding The 90-day Notification Report Service, please contact the Immigration Branch Office in your residence area." It's my second report since extension and I'd really prefer not have to go all the way to Chaengwattana.

I was thinking while watching the news unfold, "they're hyping this far too much". For every million young lads watching I wouldn't be surprised if at least one found the whole thing exciting. Hopefully the media portrayal won't lead to more radical actions.

I paid around 7 quid (276 THB) to go 2 stations on the London tube last time I was there. I'm not complaining about the prices here.

It usually works for me but I've been trying for the last 3 days and it just tells me

I assume this is because this is my first report since I extended my visa. It was due yesterday but I'll go in next week as I understand there's at least a 1 week grace period.

Am I right in thinking that even though I have a work permit I can't help my girlfriend sweep up in her shop since I'm employed by a different company?

Sorry to jump in here, my wife has been entering my stays online successfully and I'm due to renewal my marriage extension next week. Since we do this online I'm not sure what I need to do regarding paper to submit with my visa renewal. Can someone give me some guidance as I don't want to run into a problem when i visit Changwattana.

Mine was done online too, we printed a screenshot but in the end they didn't even care to see it. Also Chaengwattana but was a non-B visa. Just print what you can, better to have it and not need it..

I did my Non-B extension yesterday at Chaengwattana. No mention of the TM30 at all.

You’re not legally allowed to work freelance for overseas companies?

From my understanding, you're not technically allowed to do any kind of work whatsoever on a tourist visa. Plenty of people do it and it's not an issue unless they broadcast it at the wrong time and place. 'He's on holiday visiting you as you're working here and he's currently unemployed' is all they need to know if asked.

working online(not for any Thai company so not illegal)

Probably worth pointing out that you shouldn't mention this to immigration officials as you're mistaken on this.

You can work anywhere in Thailand if your present employer asks you to and then registers you working there on your WP ....You can't just leave BKK with your WP

My understanding was that I could work anywhere in the country as long as it's another branch of the same company. As the new work permits don't state the name of that company. If for example I was working at another company and immigration happen to pop by to say 'hello', do you think there's any chance that flashing a generic work permit that doesn't state where I should be working be enough to satisfy their suspicions?
