Why would you bring both passports back and get the stamps transferred if starting from scratch? Better to come in with just the new passport!

Impossible to enforce income Tax on Credit Card Payments here.......How in Hell can they police that or Even try to Administer!??????

<deleted> Me!.....Tell me about it! I guess most guys on Death Row don't feel so good for a few days before they strap them to "The Gurney"? At least in Most Cases it only happens once per individual....As you may know, sometimes it goes wrong! You know what it's like.....Sometimes we forget to pay the Gas or Electric bills! With Samui Immigration we have to go through the same mental torture every F*ckin' year!

At least that's what he thinks!

These days I rarely have to visit Immigration on Samui as they finally got 90 reporting online to work..... However, I always make a point of visiting the office a few days before I want to renew my Retiremnt Extension just to find out whatever ridiculous loopholes they have come up with regarding even more document requiements. I have been visiting Samui since 2006, but only living here permanently for 13 years! Ask KhunPer...He knows EVERYTHING about Samui!

Maybe not true about them keeping all your paperwork. At Samui IO I have often gone to get TM47s or other forms sometimes only to find they were recycled with someone elses information on the back and even with passport details! Ask KhunPer...He knows everything about Samui!

Easy to get around Immigration problems at Samui IO..... Just buy that Fat Bird a box of chocolates for when you hand in your papers, Works for me every time!

You miss my point..... Many go Unreported! A bit like in the film "Jaws" where the mayor wants to keep the Shark attacks quiet and keep the beaches open so as not to Damage the Tourism!

How the Hell do you know?

Yes I do....It as the back of the hospital.

Over the years I have witnessed many motorbike accidents (some in Real Time), but most after the fact, but often with a corpse still in situ! As stated previously I have lost many friends and acquaintences in motorbike accidents over the years on Samui! https://www.google.com/search?client=firefox-b-d&sca_esv=599042207&q=chalk+lines+around+bodies+koh+samui&tbm=isch&source=lnms&sa=X&ved=2ahUKEwiqtcrc7OODAxXFSkEAHV_PAkMQ0pQJegQICBAB&biw=1280&bih=539&dpr=3 Do you think there is some Banksy Type Nutter going around drawing body outlines on the road and then adding a bit of Red Paint just for a laugh????

Oh Really? So I have to disbelieve what my Ex- Girlfirend and many other doctors and nurses that I know??? Obviously not every ambulance passenger Croaks It but a lot do!

Per....As I said I know many Doctors and Nurses on the island. I dated a nurse from Samui Hospital. That's how I know! You live in Maenam away from the Ring Road so you probably don't hear all the ambulances that we hear everyday! That's also how I KNOW!

Nonsense! Giving up smoking is easy! I've done it loads of times!
