"2CB," is very similar to MDMA.....It's not very dangerous at all....

If they want it illigal ok fair enough...

But don't make up nonsense it going to kill you stories...When it's completely untrue.

I read an Thai article last week after a peptide bust about how dangerous and stupid is to use them.

Three days later, USA re-legalizes them all 😂 .

The media is no longer the news.

It’s simply one facet of brainwashing and grooming.

He is seen in the photo carrying a knife.

I admit being wrong then

I get the feeling the knife was an added part to the story after the deed to help what they did seem more necessary.

Carrying openly a Knife doesn’t make logical sense in any way nor truthful.

But do believe he was probably harassing the woman

Seeking multiple opinions:

You really cannot just go from an agent one year to income method for the next renewal?

You have to keep 800k in thai bank for a year plus do income method that year to transition?

I asked them  that question when they gave me 3 days to leave the country, 2 hours later i walked out of there  with a 12 month retirement  extension.

How much was the side clause cost that they found? 😂 

@DrJack54 and others…

what is possibility of providing my docs to agent and having him get it passed thru with my docs?

im only thinking this way bc seems a more long term followed the rules strategy than traditional agent use?

My question was based on the belief that the OP was talking about his overseas bank account being frozen and him unable to transfer from that.

 

 

That is Correct.

Another tactic if/when they catch you out that you missed a month and doubled up the following month (meaning you failed to meet the posted requirements) is to look at them and say "is there ANY way we can make it work?"

They might be able to charge you a "fine" (which BTW you will get no receipt for) and approve the extension. 

I would imagine IF there is way to do it with a "fine" it'd probably be close to 10K 😮 I have seen that happen in person before..

I mean if they catch it, you're out nothing by asking, worst they can say is "cannot" 😛

I Wa thinking something similar.

but cost of agent is 12 k sooo sounds much easier just pay and wait.

idk. Still mulling it

You are far from the first person who ran themselves off the proverbial rails by missing a monthly deposit when trying to meet proof of funds.. 😕

Believe me immigrations WILL catch it when you go for your next extension, of that there is no doubt.. 

The rules are simple: if you come from a country whose embassy here no longer issues the affidavit of income from abroad notary letter and you want to use monthly income for proof of funds you transfer in a minimum of 65k baht per month, each month, every month, for the previous 12 months before you apply for your extension. 

There is no, "I missed a month so doubled up the deposits the next month" excuse allowed. 

I'd go plenty early to apply for the extension on your own and if it won't fly (which I am 99.999% sure it won't) then you have time to use an agent. 

Don't be so hard on yourself, plenty of people have done it, good news is, you only do it once 😉 then you catch on.. live and learn

Honestly… this has slid to back of problems because I’m actually still dealing with the identity theft and correcting bureaus and banks.

100 plus hours on phones and uncaring reps.

what started it?

some hacker applied for a checking account at my bank with my details it different address and contact details.

bank declined it, BUT….

they changed my  mailing address in. Their system.

then reported it to all the bureaus that I changed it.

opening more theft opp for thief at the bureaus.

worsen it the address is tied to a bankruptcy.

bureaus not allow me dispute it bc bank keeps reporting it.

bank reps truly sympathize and try and help but they cannot find way to reverse it.

30 th rep tried something and it has promise.

but of course they won’t report it except the once a month they auto do it.  So now I’m waiting to see if it reports or not.

then I still need to argue and dispute 9 credit bureaus. (It’s way more out there than the big 3 anymore)

it’s a nightmare I hope is soon rectified

What is wrong with these whining people nowadays?

 

They won't let mw in because I cannot produce 20,00 thb or its equivalent.

 

So what was she going to live on for her holiday?

 

Beg for money and food on the street and sleep on the beach or in a park?

 

Grow up, read the rules, and if you don't have the money to live on, don't go on holiday.

 

If you have the money for a mobile phone, and money for the air ticket, but you can't produce 20,000 baht, then you can't afford a holiday.

 

Stop crying and bleating about it because nobody cares about you.

She came to sell not buy 😂 

also vajayjay always gets paid for by others when out and about

Immigration are very fussy on one thing : financial compliance. 

Only thing you can to is do double transfer as you mentioned and beg they let it slide. 

Any evidence from bank re frozen account would help (maybe) 

 

If rejected you would exit Thailand and start over OR switch to agent. 

Which immigration office? 

Jomtien.

Yeah. I have  an agent on hand already. 

But was diligent on this all year so such a shame to have to throw away 15,000 baht when I was right at the finish line.

Why don’t they focus on people that DONT have visas first.

honestly who cares if someone is here long time on tourist visa vs retirement need as long as they are documented and following reporting procedures.

having had to do the runs in my past they are a form of hellish torture all on their own that no one likes and that was because they had no decent visa at that time for long term stay.

at least (for now) they’ve added dtv which should work for most

I am mystified by all the comments saying how stupid he is to get a face tattoo.

 

he didn’t 

 

Henna is widely used as a temporary drawing on skin that wears off after a few days. That’s wildly different from choosing to have a face tattoo.

 

I have never heard of black henna rather than just “henna” - so yes, it’s clearly a dangerous substance that the vendor should not be painting directly on someone’s skin.

 

i feel for the guy. 

I agree with you.

its basically an adult sticker tattoo you did as a kid.

a couple day piece of fun.

not a lifetime commitment. Not an actual tattoo.

all these comments show the lack of both IQ and emotional maturity  of posters for a kid that got a temporary body painting but didn’t know the vendor used a poisonous paint.

In reality everything has changed in the past 20 years, and all the appeal, most all the funk, all the charm, and all the beauty seems to have gone away from those 3 spots. 

 

I lived on Samui for a decade and left 10 years ago, and all the mom and pop places had disappeared, and were substituted by higher priced operations that had very little charm and personality. Bland, vanilla, and pretending to be classy. Yikes. 

 

Meanwhile the island remained utterly filthy, the beaches congested with debris and litter, and the useless local government refused to spend even tiny amounts of money on cleanup efforts, even though they were collecting billions upon billions. 

I havent' been here that long.  Only since just before covid.

What I like(d) about here was the mom and pop places.  The regular people restaurants, street vendors. etc.

Everytime I see something torn down and put up a soulless "modern" box cage (with as you said normally includes crazy jacked up prices for now a bland experience) It's losing it's appeal. 

It's getting a "suburbanite" feel.
Not a feel like older cities that have charm and history.
But boring old box store suburbs.
 

Marketing tip to get crowds and customers:

advertise BEFORE the event!
