  1. Well, that's your opinion and as the know opinions are like AO's, everyone has one. Green energy currently is a hoax and unsustainable financially...........what do you think is currently driving this forum's infrastructure and networking, the PC or charge for your phone, the electricity services where you posted this msg. I can assure you, not your expensive subsidized green energy supply. Cheap energy drives economic growth and raises living standards of all people.
  2. So the VAT charged on imported goods is to protect local items available and sold in Thailand. Based on their announcement statement, if the product is not manufactured or available here in Thailand, there should be no VAT incurred on those imported goods. Tongue in cheek statement! 5555
  3. So here we go.....you all are beneficiaries of this amazing TM47 90-day online reporting software upgrade 555. 4 days of bumbling around with inferior software and inexperienced IT architects, programmers and developers. The answer to all your online 90-day reporting issues, "are you feeling lucky" "You can't make a silk purse from a sow's ear" Jan 23, 2024 Feb 23 to Feb 26 2024
  4. Re: The next day I received a nasty surprise via email with the following content: "Your application for "STAYING LONGER THAN 90 DAYS" has been rejected. Incorrect entry date upon entry into the kingdom/ Incorrect visa expiration date There may be a possible reason for this, I believe that the IMM database and 90-day online reporting database were never connected to share information real-time. You recall months back, we had this significant 4 to 5 day 90-day online reporting outage for significant maintenance.?????? Just an assumption, that if your details were correct, it may be possible that they finally have this IMM database to 90-day online database connection established. But, like most Thailand software, it's not working as conceived and pulling records from the wrong user index database records for your details. BTW I have VPN and find issues when it is activated with the 90-day online reporting system. PS. This could be resolved quick and simple if IMM had the smarts and initiatives to resolve it. On the error, ask if the user requires more details, if yes, generate a msg with a security code to the user with a request to enter the security code sent to your mobile. Once the security code is confirmed, a link opens where you can click to show you what information is required in your form field in error. (no guarantee it will be the correct information) If that does not resolve the issue, make an REAL English-speaking support hot line desk available for 90-day online issues.
  5. After you insert your Passport number and Nationality, select the blue box with the view symbol, the form will autopopulate all your details. This information autopopulated in your form application is what Immigration has for you currently for 90-day reporting details. If it gets approved with incorrect information but gives you the 90-day reporting extension date, just go with it. If you ever get queried, just give the same response Immigration officers do, "90-day online software broken not work" My understanding and I don't know much but IMHO, just guessing, the IMM and 90-day reporting databases are not real-time synchronized, in fact they may not even have any physical or logical connection between them. Only when IMM officers are forced to check your 90-day report details because of an online 90-days reporting failure do they look at the IMM database records and insert the updated 90-day details manually into your 90-day profile to match both sets of records. As you can see, if my best guess is correct, it's an ongoing God damn nightmare every time there is a IMM database change to your profile details. Cheers
  6. Looking for similar advice in Hau Hin Anyone had experiences with root canal treatment with any of the detail clinics or hospitals here in Hua Hin. All comments really appreciated as I am about to enter into it next week at one of the clinics.
  7. They problem you have many IOs at IMM offices that are just cowboy and cowgirls. Dubious intellect levels, and they just love to exert what little authority they have over you If the head of IMM wants to clean up the IMM and raise the profile of the IMM organization, he would mandate all IOs in all Provinces must follow and implement the IMM policies exactly as gazetted. No foreigner has any issues with providing the required paperwork and doing all the legwork collection information as required by the IMM Website. But the BS encountered by many foreigners at IMM processing just demonstrates that many officers are out of control. .
  8. IMHO of 40 years visiting, working and now retired here in Thailand Most, and I do mean most, Thai drivers of any vehicles here are actually brain-dead. No common sense of defensive driving skills, no or little knowledge or adherence of the road rules, no situational awareness, no consideration for other road users, always speeding, rarely obeying speed limit restriction signs, always tailgating and pushing vehicles in front of them to go faster, never stopping at Zebra crossings and always speeding in a hurry to create an accident to kill and or mane others. And in particular motorbike antics, well not enough space here to cover their stupidity. Just look at the annual road stats here, they confirm my observations and experiences. You can't put brains in statues. PS. Add to that the almost zero police enforcement of violators and lack of harsh government penalties to curb the wild west roadway craziness of Thai drivers.
  9. IMHO I have said this many times and from what I see here nothing has changed. The Immigration Database is not real-time connected to the 90-day online reporting Database. So, 90-day reports are often rejected on not what you have inserted in your 90-day online form if it's all ciorrect. The Imm officer is looking at your form details and referencing it against your Imm Visa details and possible TM30 details
  10. Only in Thailand could such a ridiculous formula could be introduced. Thailand’s Wage Committee decided today to increase minimum wages to 400 baht for employees working in 4-star hotels which have at least 50 employees, located in specific areas in 10 provinces, effective from April 13th. 4S + 50E + 10P = 400 Baht C'mom man!
  11. Re: Thailand’s government is beginning to crack down on the activities of long-stay foreigners in the kingdom. It comes with the country’s economy in a slow state of decline. For instance, government receipts in the most recent period were down 11% on last year. Now, the real reason behind the PM and RD enforcement of tax laws for 2024 onwards. The Government is scrambling for more money. Thailand making sure it can milk every possible Baht out of all long-stay foreigners. For the PM and RD, the gift that just keeps on giving!
  12. The fix is easy, even a monkey could work it out. To cope with the increasing traffic, Airports of Thailand (AOT) had increased the number of immigration booths from 92 to 119 and more immigration officers were on duty from Wednesday on. This would allow them to handle about 6,500 arrivals per hour in a 45-second process without compromising security. Solution: Add more immigration booths, seems 119 is not enough to handle current influx peaks.
  13. Look, a couple of real knuckleheads, possibly heading for monkey town and then deportation. RE: Two foreigners on motorbikes did not follow the traffic laws, not riding close to the left side of the road and riding at high speed in a community area, But, give me a break, don't thousands of Thais do this every day in Thailand. IMHO, the cops thought a few Baht from these lawbreaking Farangs to supplement their daily intake. Little did they know they were going to encounter two crazy NZ morons off their frigging heads.
  14. Thailand runs significantly on the cash system, especially at the lower socioeconomic levels.
  15. Well my son, welcome to the land of confusion, mountains of regulations and paper and people with little or no common sense.
  16. He claimed breaches of his firm's security were impossible. What a knucklehead, so this nong nong manager is a world-class IT security expert. Can you inform the moron that the CIA, FBI and NSA all have been hacked at some point. Tell the manager to get with the company program of customer support and not customer denial.
  17. Unfortunately, it's just another display of the madness of Thai driving culture. Many.... very many are maniacs on the roads, driving with excess speed, careless in their actions to reach their destinations, no respect for other drivers or pedestrians. Many have no situational awareness of their driving environment. Lack the basic understanding of the fundamental and principles of defensive driving. Continuous breaking of road rules in overtaking and undertaking, me think most would not even know of the road rule laws. Favorite pastime, running red lights, running Zebra crossings and accelerating off through Zebra crossing that are still displaying red. What do you expect when you see the inferior requirements and standards for acquiring a driver's license in this country. It is Mad Max combined with the Wild West every time you venture out as a driver, passenger or pedestrian onto the Thai road networks. It is a self-fulfilling outcome when you see the annual disastrous road statistics of accidents and deaths for Thailand.
  18. OK, let's keep the scam pricing Bangkok Metropolitan Administration (BMA) strategy meeting going. What about a plan for dual pricing of golf courses and national parks that scam Farangs.
  19. "During his first term, Trump made no secret of his desire to reshape intelligence agencies to better align with his political agenda." Well, I thought it was already aligned with a political agenda now, liberal leftists at the top of most of the agencies. Based on the all the skulduggery that has gone on under the Biden administration. Please it ok to be Trump haters, but stick to facts not your feelings.........
  20. So what, the alleged Biden corruption evidence uncovered has nothing to do with any FBI informative, nice try but no bearing on the Joe Biden impeachment case.

  23. The biggest shortcoming with these 90-dayonline reporting rejections is there is no error code to explain why it was rejected. A rejection from my understanding is the IO checking the 90-day reporting database (not the IMM database) against your form data entries. A smart software solution would check the user form data entries at the submission time. The form should be re-displayed on rejection, and the field(s) in errors should be highlighted in red. This is 101 basics of form building, just look at any online airline or hotel booking service. What I am highlighting here is the immature intelligence of these IMM people defining and designing this software. But hold your breath, the site goes offline into maintenance mode from Feb 23-26 Fingers crossed when it comes back online we have some smarter functionality; miracles can happen. You see, Thais are so much smarter than everyone else; don't canvass users for input requirements, don't do end-user testing and acceptance before releasing, don't have an online user feedback and support option and don't have a live chat feature to help solve rejections real time. BTW, if you are summoned to go to your local IMM office due to a rejection, do not waste your time talking to an IO about your online rejection, they have no knowledge or interest in the 90-day online reporting system.
