No I don't know how long in advance Samui IO will let you do it now, but I had many problems with them in the past. It started many years ago when Mr. Nok left and the plump one took over the Retirement Extensions. You can try early and maybe share your experience after?

Samui are very difficult......Unless you have a good excuse or a flight ticket they usually only allow you to register/renew 2 weeks before the due date!

I am sorry to hear that. I think maybe he might benefit more from Psycotherapy than Hynotherapy in that case! Good luck in finding help!

Surely NLP hypnotists have differing areas of specialty...... May we know what condition your friend is looking to treat?

Great Reply......Many Thanks!

Many thanks. But, what happens about your boarding pass?....Will they accept a self printed one when you go to security and at the gate? Do you think the method I described would work if you have check in baggage?

Thanks CS.

Are you saying that you can check in online, then drop your bags off at departures....then drive round to the arrivals car park and park...and then walk from there to the departure gates? Don't they have security to stop you going to the departure gates from the arrivals car park???

"Feeling virginal - applying for first time for retirement extension on my non-O non-Imm in Chiang Mai" So you have Never received ANAL SEX before????? Obviously you never went to Boarding School! Welcome to Thailand and the IMOs!

At Samui IMO I normally do my Retirement Visa Extension Application 2 weeks before the "Expiration Date"....Most times when they have given me the piece of paper for my next 90 day report it is 90 days after the due Extension date....So in effect approximately 104 days after my extension Application! But, just to confuse things even further My Extension date was always July 1st.....However, this year for some unknown reason they changed it to June 30th, I went back to the UK in early September so avoided needing to do a 90 day report and whilst I was in the UK I decided to renew my passport even though my old passport still had 3 years to run. On my return I went to the IMO to get my Stamps and Visa transferred, but they didn't give me the 90 day report piece of paper.... I am just going to try and report online 76 days after my return (Last Entry).....Which would be logical ...Right??? I will let you know what happens, but I would bet a Pound to a Pinch of SH!T I will have to go to the IMO in person to sort it out!

"I will have to get all of my pets put downs because I would not trust a Thai to take care of them properly." Thank you for being so caring Mr. Terminator!

I went to a "Gentleman's Club" on Soi Buakhao once. It was full of blokes....Mostly with Big Tits and Deep voices!

I share the same problem. I find Nasonex with a few whiffs of Tiger Balm brings good relief.

Some "DICK" wrote this story and the Video does not say anything about Penis Size that I noticed? Why do people talk about Penis size as in the "Bigger The Better"? Did you ever hear anyone go on about what a Great Gal they screwed and she had the BIGGEST EVER "LOVE BUCKET"? In my experience most Thai girls like Farangs because they are better lovers (more attentive) than their Thai counterparts......Girls (not just Thais) are more concerned with the size of a guy's wallet, not the size of their Dicks!....Although, if you have a large Salami that probably helps!....I would imagine!

British Royal Family Takes The Piss Again?

Still praying for rain on Samui. Stingray is still stuck in a puddle in "Dry Dock".

Thanks BritMan......I have traveled around many countries in the world and enjoyed trying different foods, but VN food doesn't look that great to me. As a Brit (English) too, I love Indian food...It's in our culture, but like most Thais I've spoken to my GF doesn't like Indian....I think partly because of some racial stereotyping and most say they just hate the smell. So when I eat it she declines, but then has the cheek to tell me my breath smells after....This is a lady who eats raw Garlic and often has Som Tam for brekky! I love Mexican...That's a Given! Traveled Europe extensively and will pretty much eat anything that they serve and enjoy it. I will try some new dishes in VN for sure, but may be a good way to lose weight like I said? I am certainly not going there for the food, but for New Travel Experiences, Beautiful scenery and Beautiful Girls....(Shhh! Don't tell the GF). I will be going alone on a "Reccy" to see my mate in Saigon in November for a long weekend and plan on taking the GF next trip...Probably after Songkran!

Many thanks for your info. I have heard conflicting stories about Phu Quoc, but I would like to go and take a look sometime. Regarding VN food, I have watched many YouTube Vlogs and must admit that it looks very unappealing in the main. Maybe a good way to lose weight on holiday! ????

????????????

Thanks again! I guess they sell SIMs at the airport?....However, I also guessed that I would be able to hire a car! ???? At this point we are planning to enter at HCMC and Leave via same! I read that in the past you sometimes had to leave Via The Point of Entry for Visa Purposes? I know that things change all the time, so I will check all that out. ???? Sounds like you want to go back!

Thanks again for more info! As I said I have a mate in Saigon so will be spending a long weekend there before heading off. We plan to primarily concentrate on the North and some Central Regions on this trip. The scenery up North looks amazing!

Thanks BritMan! We will do some of the tourist places, but having lived on Samui for 17 years we are not looking for a Beach Holiday! Most of the places that people have recommended look Fantastic. I know that you are well traveled in SEA and I am most grateful for your input!

Thank you Geisha.....That's exactly the sort of info I was asking for! And thank you to everyone else who has contributed giving loads of choices and Great Locations.

Thanks....I couldn't believe the price of rental cars that I did find and I did several searches. Also, availability is pretty much non-existent from what I have found. So it looks like we will be taking Planes, Trains, but no Automobiles unless with a driver! ????

Thanks GB....We also plan to go to Phu Quoc in the future so could do Can ho/ Me Tho on that trip.
