You sound a bit like me, uncomfortable, the house has been sold moving this week and going to a 6 month rent this will allow me to be in control , next step have pensions(3) paid into Uk bank again and suffer the cost of periodic transfers, now only the Ranger to part with and buy a cheapie, and the funny thing these are all the Mrs Almers ideas.

I wouldn't know a TM.30 if it jumped up and bit me in the arse. Never filed one, and to my knowledge my landlady never filed one in the 30 years of renting the house. I went away frequently, and all the hotels I have stayed in accepted my Thai ID's. Only one hotel in Bangkok refused to register me because I didn't have my passport with me. Maybe one day ......................
This goes to prove that immigration is not joined up and we are doing there work for them

I fully understand that when I return to my rented apartment after reentering the country that I need to update my TM.30 at immigration. Done it twice already without a hitch. But I'm still uncertain/unclear about what is required if I travel around only inside Thailand and return home, am I required to also update my TM.30 at immigration? Or is the onus of responsibility on the apartment management where I live? And if they don't do it, will I be the one at fault and subsequently fined.
Im sorry i cant answer you because i am at a loss to get my head around the reason, yes they can ask whatever but there must be a reason why this is now being policed, maybe in a short while we will all ve rounded up and sent packing, no i am not joking

How will this work ? The acting head IO says you must report, but it is known that some offices don't want it as they are already swamped with sheets of A4 piled up in every corner, why are they doing this it will take up time of officers who could be, could be, out catching the monsters on overstay etc, if this and other measures are to make people feel uncomfortable, well done it worked .

There is a lack of knowledge how to drive, how to approach a potential problem, how to prepare due to the thick black cloud overhead etc etc, i was in a car the other evening and the thai male driver drove with his right foot on the gas and the left on the brake, when we needed to slow a bit he pulled up the handbrake and zero awareness of any going on around him, they truly think they are the only ones using the road and have the right of way everywhere, if this man took a western driving test he would not get out of the test centre
just to elaborate the car i was in was an Auto

It is a waste of immigration time and are time. Also stop cheating the tourist and all foreigners in the country.
100% agreed, the baht plays a part but when a hard working Tourist comes here with his reduced spending money and the first thing that happens is he is ripped if by the cabbie that is what he will remember

Why is to fill in a TM 30 form so hard to do?
follow the rules and you have a nice and peace full life.
If you don`t do or If you don`t want to do leave Thailand.
You see the s**t they have in Europe, If Europe had the same rules regarding Immigration than
there was no problem in Europe.
Henricus it is no problem to anybody filling in a TM30, but the issue is having to do it.
Now when i come back home from visiting my daughter in Bangkok ihave within 24 hours to take TM30 to IO which is 130km round trip virtually a day and the cost for oil, i will happily go along with any rules that make sense but to think this is to keep track of the bad guys is delusional

The van drivers here have no care for anyone else, and never consider it could be their relative or friend in the back of the ambulance being treated. Land of Self, not Smiles.
They do consider but not care, i had one today between KK and Udon Thani all over me N/S O/S plenty of lights , now i hear you ask what was i doing to warrant this, following a slow lorry trying to get past a slow lorry etc, if anybody knows this tosser or if you were in said bus fear not i have a 6 minute video and it is being sent to Bangkok not the local TOT

OK so a BMW driver, will get flak just for driving a BMW.
Lets just think for a moment, stopped at toll booth, unknown man in civvies throwing a tantrum at the drivers window ( maybe with a gun), what would most drivers do?
Pedal to the metal, thats what most would do.
Yep i'll go along with that

As so many like to say on this site, it's their country. Let them deal with it all the Thai way.
Agreed but this does nothing to paint a tropical paradise, i never enjoy going to the south ( Issan Boy ) and these scenes confirm to me that when taxi drivers fight for fir a fare, the end is near

You cannot expect the PM of a country to sort taxi drivers at war, but you can expect the local gov big cheese, with all the grief in Pattaya and what appears difficult trading for all to get out there and sort it, everybody relies on each other to make a good strong economy and if what you read is true about Pattaya being quiet this type of social media report is for all to see including families about to pay for there 2 week vacation.
The local officer for whatever reason !!??!! chooses to do nothing, if this goes on he will be out on his ass.
for what its worth,
a friend of my wife, her daughter 26 and 3 years at the same Bar in Pattaya confirms, it is very Quiet,
and finally the report says that both authoried and Unauthorised !!!<deleted>
