    So where do the Mountains of A4 Paper... go for Extensions of Stays (ie Equivalent to 2.5 Empire State buildings annually!)

    in Thai Visas, Residency, and Work Permits

    All that thinking and typing and you still got the width of the paper, the thickness of the paper, and simple multiplication wrong.

     

    It should be 0.0000044 cubic meters (0.21m x 0.297m x 0.00007m).  So you mistakenly calculated more than 4000 times the actual value.

    So according to you, "A single A4 paper is 0.0193 cubic meters (0.02 m x 0.297 m x 0.0007 m).", an A4 is two centimetres wide. You wrote two hundredths of a metre, hence two centimetres. 

     

    Also, I doubt you print on paper that's nearly one millimetre think. The only thing you got right is the length.

    ONCE again, do you know who/what Google Bard is ?

    Your math totally sucks. Or you just have invented the narrow A4. Maybe Immigration wants us to submit our application on telex reels as of Jan 1?

    Ps Your reading really totally sucks, re-read the units: that's M for Meters in English, once again not me BARD, Google "Google Bard" OK 5555

    But yeh your really narrow A4 sounds a great Invention !!!!

    Morning

     

    Just thinking about my 2 x 1cm x A4 paper sheets I submitted at Immigration for the past 20 years.

    Where does it all go? Surely they cant store it for more than 1 year, or what is the Thai law for Thai storing documents, 7 years in UK I believe.

    IF there's approx. 1 million expats (just a stab in the dark), 50 sheets of A4 per Extension, double it for some Visas that need BKK checking...

    I've asked ChatGPT but even he/she is confused re the volume in Square Meters...

    (PS I'm assuming 1,000,000 Expats living here in LOS)

     

    Do they Scan the docs nowadays, or store in a warehouse the size of ChangWattana ?

     

    Google's Bard was better at it :

     

     

    Let's compare the volume of 50,000,000 A4 papers to the Empire State Building:

    50,000,000 A4 papers:

    • A single A4 paper is 0.0193 cubic meters (0.02 m x 0.297 m x 0.0007 m).
    • Therefore, 50,000,000 A4 papers would have a volume of 965,000 cubic meters (50,000,000 x 0.0193).

    Empire State Building:

    • The Empire State Building has a total volume of approximately 386,100 cubic meters.

    Comparison:

    • 50,000,000 A4 papers would have a volume more than 2.5 times that of the Empire State Building!

    Empire State Building

    Here's a visualization to help you imagine the scale:

    • Stack 50,000,000 A4 papers on top of each other, and you'd create a pile nearly 61,000 kilometers high, reaching beyond the orbit of the International Space Station (which is about 400 kilometers above Earth).
    • If you spread these papers out evenly across the entire surface of the Earth (510.1 million square kilometers), you'd cover it with a layer of paper about 0.1 meter thick.

    So, to answer your question, 50,000,000 A4 papers would be a truly immense amount of paper, dwarfing the size of the Empire State Building in terms of volume.

    I hope this helps!
