Pattaya57

For info, I just made an appointment in Vientiane for a SETV and first appointment available was 17 May so at least 10 days in advance booking is required

Guy said he had just done 14.5 months in Thailand within last 15.5 months and was doing a quick return border crossing for 2 more months (3 months with extension). Wouldn't think this is any significant change in policy being asked a couple of questions and then let in after lengthy back to back history (sounds fantastic to me)

No, barfine was same as green badges (lost wages) and of course they needed a 1000 baht for taxi next day ???? Otherwise, didn't have to pay for my fake new girlfriend, ok maybe breakfast lunch and many lady drinks ????

No, red badges were for waitresses who supposedly only served drinks.... challenge accepted ????

The biggest lie I liked was in the 2000's when girls wore red and green badges. Red badges never go with customer so when you end up with one you felt super special ????

Nah, thread has turned into self proclaimed handsome guy who never pays for sex vs openly admitting fat bald guy who constamtly gives gifts to women he meets. How can I add to that ????

Anyone else wish these 2 would just pm their argument instead of taking up 2 pages of thread? Just wondering ???? ???? ???? ????

Airlines do not require proof of flight if they have a Tourist Visa (as embassy already check this before issuing visa).

Using that logic it should have taken me 100 tickets to win the 2000 baht for last 2 digits... but did it on first ticket bought ???? Gotta have hope ????

I edited my post to suggest email the UK Embassy and ask to give you assurance that it's ok? [email protected]

Thai Embassy in Aus has the following for tourist visa They will be allowed to stay in Thailand for a period of up to 60 days, counting from the date of entry. Extension is possible for another 30 days, with maximum period of stay of 90 days, counting from the date of entry. Surely UK Embassy knows 30 day extensions are allowed so tourist visa would be approved with the 88 days proposed? Once Tourist Visa approved no requirement to check flights. You could also email the UK Thai Embassy and ask if ok [email protected]

So a person bought 6 tickets with the same number and won 36 million baht, while last month someone bought 19 tickets with same number and won 114 million baht..... They must be pretty sure they have the winning ticket to buy 19 of the same number

Nice, the Thai Lottery Grinch appears ????

Maybe because they are too poor to buy them? And posters on here want to take 20 baht per ticket commission off them to make them poorer? Just a thought ????

Not me, I'm happy to pay 100 and was just providing the requested photo ????

Bottom left

As lottery is only twice a month and minimum prize is 2000 baht, it must be a good strategy for you to win 100 baht every week ????

Mate I bought one ticket for 100 baht and won 2000 baht....how can I not keep gambling ????

Problem solved, gave ticket to my Thai friend and she cashed it in for 1940 Baht (60 baht commission so 3%) She went across from the Wat mentioned in 2nd post above (another case where AN is more accurate than Google lol) To get last 2 digits is 1 : 100 chance to win 2000 baht, first/last 3 digits 1 : 1000 chance to win 4000 baht. Sounds like pretty good odds to me with a slight chance to win 6 million ????

Assuming you qualify for a Visa exempt entry, on May 8 you will get 30 days so until 6 June. You can then apply for a 30 day extension which will give you until 6 July (so your 2 July departure is covered, even if you left for border run earlier than 8 May)

Revised TM30 rules was all over the press in June 2020. The following extract from link summarizes it pretty well In the event that a foreign national travels and stays in another place on an occasional basis, and then returns to stay at the same premises within the period of stay specified in the T.M.30, then a new T.M.30 will need not be submitted each time they arrive. The new rules are applicable to all foreign nationals who stay in Thailand on any type of visa, including holders of multiple-entry visas and re-entry permits which enable the holders to leave and return to Thailand within their visa validity period. https://www.tilleke.com/insights/thailand-relax-rules-tm30-immigration-requirements/

Only if have same visa (so have multi-entry visa or re-entry permit). Getting new visa exempt requires new TM30

Why lie to Immigration? As I said above if you arrive back Friday evening then the first opportunity to go to Immigration is Monday morning which should be no problem (plus theyll see your entry stamp was Friday and wouldn't your existing lease have different dates so story won't match?)

Thanks for responses, good to know paying 100 baht a ticket is correct (I ignore the "lucky number" prices) As for collecting, the link says cash payments have stopped on 1 April? https://www.thaipbsworld.com/thailands-national-lottery-to-stop-paying-out-prizes-in-cash/ I went to the Krung Thai bank in Central (as per the article) but they said payment only for Thai.

I usually book my flights to arrive on a Friday so that I can do the TM30 on the Monday (first opportunity to go to immigration). I've never had a problem (Jomtien) as how can you report to immigration when they're not open?
