zzzzz

not sure about others BUT i dont believe you

A full passport is a full passport!!! u near Ranong? exit stamp , entry stamp to Burma, exit stamp an entry stamp back to thailand BUT since u have a full passport ur F#@Ked> A Cambodian Evisa is only entry/exit stamp BUT ur going to need 2 pages for ur 1 hear extension> PLUS ur exit /entry stamp for Thailand. Why on earth did u wait?? My 1 year extension ends March 28th, passport expires Deb 2025 and just got a new US one 2 weeks ago> 100% stupid to wait till the last week/month/year even if i were u, id book a flight home

Jim was a great guy and always enjoyed sitting with ya over a coffee or drink>

head a bit further south to Ranong and take the boat across to Kwathoung> Burmese stamp $10 valid for a 14 days stay in Kwathoung ( limited to 20 kms from town) boat across is 50 baht/seat or 500 for the whole boat Cambodia voa is $30 evisa $36 but as stated its only an entry stamp

for the 15 month (single 90 day non O + 1 year extension) 28,000+ if ur in Patttaya< everywhere else 36,000-60,000

LOL: " typical retiree" Be willing to bet the Typical retiree owns nada, zip, nothing in his own country>>>

locals are allowed to cross

Ranong/Kwathoung by a 30 minute boat ride also trip to the casino all others Nope

as does phuket one night in a a hotel that files a tm 30 and ur required top refile again each immigration is a kingdom unto itself

and for that what does he do? what a waste OF $$$

I know that hence reason i will do my 90 day by mail requirements : https://www.bangkokpost.com/thailand/special-reports/2697119/

i just got a new US passport, as my last extension was issued in Trang and i am in Phuket, rather than dela with transfer the stamps to new passport and than file the 90day i am just going to use the mail service an send copies off all relevant pages to Bangkok.

FYI: NO agent in Phuket, when u dont have the 800,000 in the bank, will get u an extension in Phuket TVC is the best and cheapest UNLESS u live in Pattaya OP : u paid $900 for a Non O visa ONLY not the extension as well ( which would have given u 15 months) OR did you get the 15 months, that a great price if no money in bank PLEASE post that agent name if it true

$40

More adventurous Rent a motorcycle: head to Chanthaburi, than north to Pong Nam Ron, cross there ( voa for Cambodia $30) and back. there and back in a day

why would anyone pay an agent? it is quite simple if you follow the directions which are not difficult!!! FYI: even thou they offer email notification., i got ZERO emails :-)

Ranong/Kwathoung is open, Crisp $10 bill, 50 baht/seat on boat or 500 baht for the whole boat ( he will wait for u to return) 6 hours by bus or 4 hours driving Andaman club not open all the time

received it today 41 days from initial ems to Bangkok new one is very high tech and 50 pages ( pages 8-50 for visas- no pages for endorsements ) vs old one 52

hard to get drunk when ur beer is served in a glass with ice

ages ago, back in the 90's, i considered opening a advisement office with a thai lawyer services My speciality would be to give advice to newcomers on the posible successfulness of their "Business plan" but how to get client's willing to spend $$$, to have them told their "dream" is a stupid idea Also when i ran the Phuket Food, shopping entertainment guide, I would ask all new business to advertise> sometimes would enter a new restaurant and present the book , only to be told that there were so many restaurant's in it already, at which i would smile and say < "yep, so why did you open another one"? 5555

any body shop can do it at a cost of 500-1,000 baht/ headlight

you cant submit your first 90 day report online, must be in person 14 days Before, 7 after due date airport wont care, BUT it will be in their computers u did not file so might be hit with a fine next time .

closed to all BUT locals
