    I would guess 400 agent obtained visa holders got a call from Immigration asking them to come in for a chat.

     

    It will be interesting to see if they are proceeded against.

    Yes exactly what it probably is. I do it all myself now but when I first got here my first 3 extensions were done through an agent because I thought it was easier. The agent was actually bribing everyone to get my long stay marriage visa done the same day and at the time I didn’t know that. After this same immigration chief fixed immigration in 2018 Korat immigration actually helped me get all my paperwork fixed and exactly right. Even last year I had to redo our marriage certificate because I didn’t know the agent had paid for that back in 2016 and I had missed the step of going to the embassy. So I went to the embassy and got it done correctly through MFA. Now I finally have it all fixed and I do it all myself. But I’ve never seen anything except professionalism and helpfulness at Nakhon Ratchasima immigration. I hope no one there who helped us is in trouble. The supervisor was so nice and helpful I’m actually hoping it’s not her. They were all so professional so I’m shocked. 
     

    I’m actually hoping none of those good people are in trouble.

  2. I have a question I’m trying to figure something out that I strongly suspect. Now that you can buy Cannabis from just about anywhere is the government farm up in Mukdahan still running? If not when did it shutdown? Before you could only buy the oil legally and I had a military contact who was selling it to me as well. He was regular if asked him for the flower I would have it within a few days. That contact suddenly disappeared in May last year literally one month before they fully legalized it lol. I don’t think that was a coincidence. I have a suspicion that it might have been part of a government experiment. I’m curious I wouldn’t be mad if it was, the opposite I would have been happy to have been a part of it, if it was. The contact I had was a senior person from an organization I will not name, name and location of contact will remain unknown. I’m just really curious if it was an experiment because he was getting it from Mukdahan. Or maybe they just shutdown Mukdahan where he was getting it a month before legalization. 
     

    So I am very curious is the Mukdahan facility still in operation? That answer would help answer my question and satisfy my curiosity. 
     

    Moderators please delete this post after 12 hours. If no one responds before then I’ll ask someone else I know who connected me to him again. But now there are legal sources everywhere. It was just odd and obviously not a coincidence that my source dried up literally one month before full legalization. Very interesting. 

  3. Some of those islands are closer in the bay. And I’ve seen big ferry and yacht style boats going out into the main harbor. So I’m assuming they must have some island shuttles at least for the closer ones. I guess even Ko Tai is pretty far. 
     

    So are they just going out and coming back in the same day or something. Do any of those boats actually take you anywhere?

    Maybe naming "one of the islands"?

    And don't say Phuket.

    If there was a "boat" it would be a cruise ship and two or three days via Singapore and the pirate infested straight of Mallaca.

    Places like Ko Samui and other islands in that area or closer. There’s at least a few others I could name. 

  5. Looking at taking a trip down to Bangkok in March. How much does it cost to take one of the boats in the port of Bangkok down to one of the islands? Any ideas? We’ve taken the boats through the channel before but what about the boats to the islands? Any information on that would be appreciated.
