I dont care how many customers are around. What about the girls? Are there still tons of fl around same as pre covid?

I take your point to an extent, I suppose it depends on how much of a perv you are, but bars need punters for atmosphere or the whole thing is just too eerie. By memory there were still enough tarts around, but again this was late July.

3 months a ago was around curfew time and bar closures and alcohol ban. Not the same now.

No it was fully open, i checked and it was the end of July, so 2 months ago. I wouldn't have said what I did had it been curfew with bars closed. I was in cowboy and nana supping beers and it was as dead as, so was just wondering if it has picked up a bit?

When having entered Thailand Visa Exempt or on a Tourist Visa and applying at your local IO for the 90-day Non Imm O Visa for reason of retirement (you still need at least 15 days left on your permission to stay at the moment of application) and using the 800K funds-in-bank method, you need to provide evidence of the foreign oriigins of the funds.

When already on a Non Imm O Visa and applying for the 1-year extension of stay for reason of retirement, and when using the 800K funds-in-bank method, you only need to provide evidence that the funds have been seasoned on your personal thai bank-account for at least two months at the moment of application (with no need to prove the foreign origins of the funds).

Right, as I thought.

Heading back to bkk tomorrow, thankfully, after a spell in the sticks..

So, the aforementioned question?

Ta.

Hang on, I haven't read all 5 pages, but the 800k seasoned for 2 months for retirement ext has to come from overseas? If this is correct, has that always been the case?

It has never been a requirement to show bank book/statement when applying for the 60 day extension.

Looks like they are making up there own rules.

Of course they are. An updated khor ror 2 never used to be asked for either.

Doesn't surprise me. I'm off to do mine tomorrow, if they ask for the world and I cannot do I'll be on a plane by Sunday. See ya.

Your comment about going to big C is a day out, looks like it was aimed at me, and yes going to big C is a day out for me, unable to get out without help to get on my scooter, and am limited to 12 or so ks distance.

I also have traveled the world,  24 countries, from as far away as Canada to Hong Kong.

Aimed at you?? Why on earth would have I been thinking about you, what a very odd thing to say. Do we know each other?

24 countries? Sorry, but that is not many.

Im not that kind person , that i go trip what i think it's boring! Have to be silly to do that! Cancel your plan's. Stay where you are and live inside your box! I think place like Pattay is boring , reason im not go there! I have travel much, seen all kind's your world class destination's! Really nothing to see! 

Thailand is an extremely boring country. Unless you are an alchy or a whore monger there is literally no reason to be here.

I have travelled all over the world, and unlike many on here I don't 'live' in a box, exist on 20k a month, buy my dinners from 7 eleven, and think a 'day out' is going to Big C or the local coffee shop.

Sure it will be boring, because wherever you go you always bring yourself...

HAHA!

Haha. I am going to Loei for the first time in December. Of course, it will be very boring.

LOL. Good luck with your biz.

Bangkok Post just reported there are 150,000 tourist visa holders currently in Thailand today.

 

They will be fined if they don't renew their visa so there's no more amnesty for sure.

 

150k is a lot.....

'Just reported'???

In other news, Germany have invaded Poland.

Call me paranoid, but I wonder of immigration have been told to make it as difficult as poss with regards to ext's etc. I'm going on wednesday to ask for a 60 day ext based on marriage and I believe they are going to ask me for the world.

I forgot to mention in my original post that another question I will pose is what happens when my visa expires in mid-November and I can't go anywhere in the region to renew it.

You will have to go onto an extension of stay or leave. Isn't that kind of obvious??

You are coming over as extremely entitled. Psst, they don't give a monkies about you.

I don't expect a useful answer. I'm just interested in what they say. Of course, the person next to him/her might tell be something completely different as no-one knows the answer.

 

We'll have to disagree that borders closed due to a pandemic are not 'extraordinary'.

You used the word 'extraordinary' in the context of the current visa situation. Like I said, you can go on a 1 yr ext OR leave., so not sure where 'extraordinary' fits in.

Besides, it's looking highly unlikely that the amnesty will get extended again, and you are here talking about another extension after the perceived next one. Now, that is extraordinary!

I'm going to Kalasin immigration on Wednesday after we are sure there is no statement coming from Tuesday's cabinet meeting, and I'm going to ask questions about what might happen if the border and quarantine situation remains the same at the end of my 60-day marriage extension - as I expect it will be. Is it possible that more than one extension will be allowed due to the extraordinary circumstances, or will those circumstances be ignored and it will be business as usual.

 

 

Yea good luck with getting an answer to that.

Btw, the circumstances are hardly 'extraordinary' in this context, you either leave the country or go onto a 1 yr ext?
