  1. It's the area on the other side of the road that includes the owner's house, the car park, food court, New Wave and the shopping arcade that's being sold for redevelopment. The shops are only being given 6 months renewal.

    The old brasses in the Biergarten won't have to retire just yet.

    I doubt that the brasses will be selling there wears off at reduced prices :-(

  2. I see people are still bashing True as they close the door on them. Yes - you can certainly criticise their service response time and I understand some people had trouble getting their magazine. However I shall not be celebrating their departure - I thought 1600 baht for the Gold package and every EPL game available plus Champions League and UEL was exceptional value just for that cover alone and I doubt we will see such comprehensive cover of the English (and Welsh) quality teams on a single provider in Thailand in a good number of years.

    As a reminder to some who accuse it of being a rip-off, I've said it before on here but its worth repeating that Sky in the UK costs 50 quid a month and has significantly less comprehensive cover of the big teams (top 20 - yes even West Ham is a 'big team' in my book!) than True did. Of course you can fill in if you are present in the UK by actually going to the games at a cost of 25 to 120 quid a pop :-)

    Agree but take away the Football then ask youself is it worth 30 odd quid?

  3. Dropped down from Gold package to the 499 package I wanted to drop to the 299 package but was told that this is not possible.The lady in the shop in Buriram said that many farang have done this.

  4. REAL TAXIS! in Khon Kaen whatever next? Maybe a scam or two....me thinks,glad to hear it biggrin.gif just hope the thais will use them instead of drinking and driving!! which seems so ingrained into there way of life.

    I have a dream.

    Had metered taxis in Buriram for about 6 months but the problem is the drivers do not want to turn the meter on when a farang hires them.Hope it is not the same in Khon Kaen.

  6. whistling.gif Why are you leaving Thailand...is it for good or do you intend to return,,,and especially to you intend to return on your curent (entension of) visa.

    In other words,,if you are on some kind of extension of your current visa...either for retirement, marriage to a Thai. an EDucation visa, a Non B with a Work Permit...these are all things that require you to do 90 day reporting.

    When you leave Thailand, and are stamped out of Thailand at immigration, your exiensions of visa are canceled...and your current extension is voided.

    The way you avoid this is to purchase an exit-rentry visa at your local immigration before you leave,

    If you don't do this, when you exit your visa extension is cancelled at that time.

    Then. when you do return...without a visa (you're current extended visa having been cancelled by your exit from Thailand)...if you qualify you'll only get a 30 day entry stamp (if by air) or a 15 day entry stamp (if by land border).

    I'm assuming here that the actual VISA...the one you originally entered Thailand on and that you recieved at a Thai consulate outside of Tailand, is now expired....and that's what you got the extension for.

    In my particular case my original visa expired on 15 October 2011...but I recieved an extension of that based on retirement until 15 October 2012.

    So now, if I want to leave Thailand for a few days, I must purchase an exit-rentry visa to keep my extension valid.

    IF that, or something similar, is also your case...you need to also get an exit-reentry visa also.

    If that is the case, then before you leave you should:

    1. Do your next scheduled 90 day reporting and

    2. At the same time get and exit-rentry visa...to keep your extension alive which will "reset" your 90 day reporting clock to day one when you re-enter Thailand.

    Now, for all practical purposes, if you're not planning to re-enter Thailand....90 day reporting is practically meaningless.

    But if you are intending to return....you need to go to your local immigration...and do those two things.

    Otherwise you may be in for a very unpleasent surprise when you get only 30 days on your return...and then find your visa extension was cancelled by your leaving Thailand without an exit-reentry visa.

    Yes I have already got my re-entry permit 1000 baht for a single or 3900 for multi re-entry

    So i guess i will have to make a trip to Kap Choeng,for my 90 day report.sad.png

  7. If you are leaving Thailand never to return then I would not bother, but if you return and have to do a further 90 day report in the future then the fact that you failed to report, after staying more than 90 days, previously could be picked up and a 2000 baht fine levied.

    Not much of an inconvenience to report by mail and everything is covered.

    Kap Choeng does not accept 90 day reports by mail

  8. As there's a 7 day grace period after the 90 days, wouldn't it be safe to go to the UK after 93 days without the 90 day report? His next 90 days will be 90 days after he returns to Thailand?

    Edward,I was thinking the same as you but I am confused.

    I phoned up the Immigration at Kap Choeng and they told me that I need not do the 90 day as I was leaving.
