I"m surprised they did not out the bar. Guessing envelope kept that big fact from going public by owner?

It's great that they saved these kids. That should be the focus. However, you are right, that is how political leaders do damage control thru media manipulation for sure: create or focus on another situation that pulls the spotlight away from what they don't want dwelled on. Although I don't know how much better this looks for the city.

who cares? or are you buying meth lab materials? But putting your cards into your Thai bank app and Apple wallet are also great back ups and time savers. Apple wallet has been a godsend since my banks cannot seem to be able to ship cards out this way. Do I use my home country cards much here? No. But I do like to have access to them. Now, am I with the governments who are trying to eliminate cash? HE LL NO. That's the end of freedom in my book. But having both options is great. ...or in this case, 4 options: cash, card, app, and card inphone/app

Ok. AFter 40 days I finally have my passport and visa back in my hands. However, She did not attach the 90 day report form. How can I find out officially if she did the reporting or not?

Ok. Here is my predicament. And What action should I take? This was a 9 month visa prepurchased 6 months ago. I received the first 2 stamps no problem. My last visa ended on 16. I mailed my passport to them on Sept 2. Two weeks in advance. They replied as normal, asking for additional pics etc a week after getting my passport for immigration. Everything seems normal. Any question I have, they say they will have to get back to the school and back to me. Or that the school will contact me. (The school NEVER contacts me) 4 days before end of visa, they quit replying to my PM's. I called 2 days before 16, they answered, and said waiting on school. 16 was Friday so I wait the weekend, and now have left 2 PM's again with no answer. They advertise daily on their FB page of new visa runs, and stamps for their clients. So they haven't run away into hiding and are seeking new business. I'm going to call again today after I get some advice here. If I was getting any communication, I would guess this more normal. What do I need to say to light a fire under their butt? Or what action do I need to take against them? I cannot visit their office for direct interaction. I'm in Pattaya and they are in Samui. @ubonjoe and anyone else? ***It's now 6 days after my known visa expired. They have not provided me verification that I have my new visa and am legal...and they've nearly had my passport for a month. ADD the below in to my situation, and I'm really getting upset. Of course I NEED my visa I paid for (being legal here the most important item) , but I also need my passport to get my drivers license which is a month long queue to schedule. I've already taken two 500 baht rides out there at an expense of nearly two hours a day to get the appointment set for Sept 27. I also have to get my certs again to GO to my appointment so I certainly don't want to miss my appointment and have to make a drive to make ANOTHER appointment and wait another month.
