zzzzz

if u live here u have zero reason to ever deal with taxi mafia 55555 more than a few Russians have been buying new bikes, making deals with locals that have shops and than renting the bikes out of the shops> Not sure thta classifies as mafia but i think not, just some wealthy Russians although they seem to be doing well now, come april-nov, not so sure

when i used the new tm 30 online form. i needed to upload the owners id card and house book:

looking down at kata beach shot last week ;-(

i assume u paid for expedient service? have heard stories of 2-3 months in the states for new passport> Plus over here in Nov, i got both passports back same time

I love kamala, been here since 96> theres the main road which is a mad house with <deleted> on bikes BUT the eastern side of the main road is Thailand with an abundance of condos, villas and the Local population, the western side tourists> Plus we have everything one needs, I only go out of kamala 1/2 x /week to central and Makro in Phuket town dont drink and bars have held no interest for me in more than a decade. Patong : ONLY to get to town!!! went down to Chalong last week thru Karon, kata, nai harn, rawaii chalong> dam have they ruined that part of phuket and as far as the northern part; 6,000 new units being built in Laguna> 6+ years from now the island's traffic will make it nearly impossible to move around

Not 12%, But many financial institutes in Cambodia pay 7-8% on a 1 year fixed deposit .

friend of mine let his drop, officer told him, you need start all over, leave ,, get 90 day non o... than pulled him aside an told him he would cost him at least 15,000 baht for all that BUT for 10,000 ( no receipt) no problem 🙂 issuance of extensions is ALWAYS at the discretion of the Immigration officer. ----------------------- Its a great law for Thailand accounting for those single, no will and die> bank just made 800,000 !!!!

extension's are for 1 year if ur passport ONLY has 6 months than thats all ur extension will be for , for the same price so...... i am NOT referring ,nor interested in a 1 month extension for a visa exempt or tourist visa 🙂 OK?

Did mine 15 months before it was due to expire, as u need at least 13 months valid date for ur new 1 year extension.

all info will be transferred for free at the Immigration where your Extension was issued> yes there is a form ,https://move2thailand.com/thailand-immigration-forms-download/ 32/33 why us an agent?? what a waste of $$$ Impossible, passport is $130, return ems envelope 100 baht 1,900 baht is for extension in Thailand

Sent in Old US passport oct 13th< New one is dated Nov 13th, total time 41 days till it was in my hands

BS: lived in Pattaya and phuket in the 80's never heard of any Russians around< Germans ran many go go and scams in Pattaya and phuket was wide open with only the thai nakorn sri thammarat gangs running things

this will go down well: Russian tourists abducted in Phuket Town, released after paying B30mn in cryptocurrency PHUKET: Police have detained four suspects wanted for abducting two Russian tourists from the streets of Phuket Town last night (Jan 31). The two tourists were released only after they transferred B30 million in cryptocurrency. https://www.thephuketnews.com/russian-tourists-abducted-in-phuket-town-released-after-paying-b30mn-in-cryptocurrency-91127.php

Makro ( the large one in phuket town near central) has Australian an Thai steaks at half the price of villa>( or god forbid Tops) poor choice in Big C never been let down never seen a foodland in Phuket as far as seafood, stick with fish, clams & local caught shrimp, not those things they call "lobsters"

PLUS copy landlords ID card signed copy house book signed Power of attorney form owner signed

its such a hassle using a refundable ticket , getting ur $$ back an than see they still charged u credit card fee Prefer to just shell out $7 and be done with it https://onwardflights.com/

hint hint: old # 3 police was transferred to Kamala an is now #1 in Kamala, time to make some $$ Cafe del mar is under fire as well as the locals thais are upset with the noise> 5 nights a week out in Patong?? my god, haven't done that since the 80's You must love crowds and drinking Rather you than me :-)

never shown bank book at drive thru

if ur on a tourist visa it ends the day you leave thailand and when you come back will be stamped in on new passport with a visa exempt stamp you have NO stamps to transfer

scb is only 200 /year

but u will in Phuket :-) why? many do and I for one, an very happy with it

800,000 OR "equivalent" needs be in a bank to get a Non O visa, in the states, Laos or even Cambodia than transfer it to a Thai bank to get ur 1 year extension at least 2 months before you apply 800,000 needs be in ur thai account 2 months on day you apply for extension. Once u have a NON O , get a certificate of residence from immigration and shop around till you find a bank that will open an account for you,

BUT why not? traveling internal as well if you stay at a hotel and they do a tm 30 ( which thye are required to do) Phuket is the same 55555

actually the visa is $30>>>> :-)

SO what? i said NOT true everywhere
