Please state the law that puts a limit on the number of tourist visas one can get in any period of time, or the law which defines what a tourist is on the basis of time spent in country, or an official posted regulation from any consulate that stipulates such rules. Unless you can provide that, your arguments are VOID and utterly without merit.

I asked my visa representation this and they specifically told me that it must be done by the landlord...can you please refer me to where I can file this myself?

Hopefully someone will be along to

Correct me if I got this wrong

Just write one up yourself and take your rental contract as back up

Its legal doesn't have to be the landlord who in many case's is unreachable when needed

Close bar Early farang no happy
Open bar late farang still no Happy lol

You should read his post carefully. He intends to get an O-A visa in Australia, which means he has the 800k baht, but not in a Thai bank. 

I used to stay at Siam Privi hotel, about 1.5 km from Huai Kwang MRT and there was a decent apartment next door for 4500 per month.  It is Chinese oriented, but not Chinese tourists.. big difference, but out on Rachada, there are tons of Chinese tourists.. www.seaoflovemansion.com will be a good benchmark on what the going rates are.. I know the Sukhumvit denyers will get upset, but Asoke is a ripoff tourist trap, traffic jam. It is a good location for a first timer, but things are way more sensible a few km North. 

There's no actual law against smoking in "your own home". One woman at the Ministry of Health tried to explain it a month ago. It's just about being considerate if you have small kids and maybe old people at home. No one will ever enforce this law. 

I am disappointed to see so many negative, nay, cynical comments about some good the Thai Government is trying to do - save many unnecessary deaths and countless suffering from bronchial problems caused by secondhand smoke spewed out from what I consider as irresponsible smokers, especially as it relates to their own family.
 
If it is scientifically proven to be true that passive smoking is a real threat to innocent people, and you know, then there shouldn't be a need for a law to protect them.
 
It seems to me therefore, that smokers, their advocates and some Members on this Forum, feel the right to think that harming the health of their own family is collateral damage in favour of their unconcerned freedom of choice.
 
I will get some metaphorical flak for this but it is better than secondhand smoke that has two lots of bad in it!

When I moved here I didn't know I was moving into a communist country they'll prosacute you for smoking in your house but only 3 points for drunk driving

Can this be construed as you front gate? This country is getting more and more iron fisted.

How many family and friends would still be alive today worldwide if this law was international? just one death is one to many. Pretty soon smokers will be hiding in bushes or sitting in trees ..luv it ☺

Oz did  the same in a workaround by hiking the price up to 46$$$$$ a pack! same result.

Thailand could care less about the fallout or being PC and that's refreshing

Smokers your time killing innocent people will end soon, get smart and start on patches right now

Whole immigrations is <deleted> up and a giant legal mafia.

 

This happened last Saturday !!!

 

My friend and his wife had a stop over in Bangkok from a flight from Denpasar, Bali to DMK. From BKK to Munich and from Munich to Dusseldorf. My friend's wife is Dutch but she also carries an Indonesian passport. Staying in Bali for 2 months having the fastest flight to Holland due to a family emergency, they booked the only available flight which had a stopover in Bangkok. DMK to BKK.

 

What happened. My friend could easily past immigration, however his wife, just in the line behind him, showed her Dutch passport. The immigration officer could not find an exit stamp in her Dutch passport. She was not allowed into Thailand without an exit stamp in her Dutch passport. Then she showed her Indonesian passport with an exit stamp. That was ok, she only had to pay an fee of 2,000 THB for visa on arrival. My friend paid the 2,000 THB / 60 €. Right after she was arrested for trying to enter Thailand illegally. She had to pay a fine of 300,000 THB / 10,000 € and a 5 year prison. For this and had to go to court on Monday, immigration said. 

 

My wife and me have been waiting to pick them up for over 6 hours. My wife made some phone calls to some people she knows at immigration. Later the fine went down to 40,000 THB and she only got a transfer visa valid for 48 hours after landing.

 

So the next morning on Suvarnabhumi, she was not allowed to leave Thailand and had to pay a fine of 200,000 THB for the previous offence. But in the computer it said, fine 300,000,  only paid 100,000 so they wanted the 200k. So my wife called around again and again. Fine went down to 25,000 THB because my wife knew some people.

Receipt ?

Not possible, receipt office closed !!!

 

The biggest mafia in Thailand is called immigration !!!!

Total BS

Most retirees that come to Thailand are OLD and health insurance if even available at all is very very expensive. So naturally they will move somewhere else like Vietnam for example. Seems so obvious to me.

Because You're less likely to get sick in Vietnam? You didn't put much thought into that post but thanks for Laugh's ☺☺☺

i was back in the uk recently but bm bargains, home bargains underprice all the supermarkets along with lidl and aldi .. in many ways its cheaper than thailand. this illusion of cheap food in thailand is easily unwrapped.

 

lets do the maths 3/4 a plate of 18 baht a kilo cheap white rice and a smidgen of pork 40 baht ..  no wonder its cheap its <deleted> and its the reason thai women are so slim and  sexy .. they can't afford to eat real food. Like us farangs

Where? Hopefully to your home country as the rest of SEA  are s..holes

Just had my first bad experience. A company selling fake non stick pans. 5 minutes on the stove and the spray paint they used melted straight off. Couldn't return it due to a hip injury and Lazada dispute team sided with the seller

Even if Thailand gives visas to Pakistani, Iranian's, Iraq's, Kuwaitis, Nigerians, Somalis. That's not going to attract holiday makers to Thailand since the cost of coming to Thailand has risen over 35%-fact. Even to purchase a new vehicle by foreigners has increased over 26.8% in actual cost! The Thai economy is heading for a 1988 economic crash!

Any facts to back that? And no porn the beer bar girl saying no boom boom  Hab not many customer doesn't count
