As to this I would suggest one thing - make sure you have the full 5 years validity remaining on your passport - if not then renew it in advance - or the visa expire when the passport expires resulting in 2 trips to wherever you get your visa inserted. For me this was Chaeng Wattana which must be very handy for those living in Bangkok and the surrounding areas, but not so much when you're further away.

I have 2 fiber connections into the house. One is from CAT and the other 3BB. I find CAT to be mostly excellent and rarely need to swap over to the 3BB 'backup' connection due to slowness or outage, etc. I am in Hua Hin though.

You speak too much

I don't like the way this is proceeding. What's the limit? When will they be hanging around outside immigration offices waiting to arrest people turning up to correct accidental 1 or 2 day overstays? This might sound far fetched but I absolutely believe it will happen.

Out of those I have a feeling that heart attack is the most likely.

This merely demonstrates that 'they've done it before, maybe they do it again' at some point in the future. It's the most short sighted legislation change I've heard of since the sex ban was announced a few weeks back. Why would anyone with say just $250k sign up for this scheme when they might double or triple it at any moment and kick everyone out. Unless they permanently 'grandfather in' all existing retirees then I suspect Indonesia will become a no go place for retirees due to irrational rule changes. Nobody who's doing their due dilligence can fail to notice this. To sum it up - once the mass exodus begins they will either revert this change or suffer the consequences.

If immigration make a mistake then believe it or not it is your responsibility to get it corrected. So get it corrected or you will be on overstay by then and deported and banned from returning.

You didn't miss much at night, most of the regulars had gone home long ago by the time I got there - there might have been one or two people left in the bars by about 10pm. It was a dreary old dump of a place at night. I didn't go during the day but I did go during the last year or two of its existence so perhaps that's why it was so quiet.

Correct

I'm hearing things about some news which may break today which will apparently sadden the nation. More of a rumor but Thai language social media is talking about this. The subject is unknown at this stage, or they're not elaborating deliberately. Just thought I'd mention it.....sounds l like something big may have happened but it hasn't been announced yet and nobody knows what it is yet.

In Thailand, in most of the rest of the world this would not be a problem at all. There are countries that actively encourage gambling operations, fully licensed and legal. My guess is that these groups make a huge amount of money and then become slack, once they have such riches they could incorporate anywhere in the world and literally move there to run their company online and legitimately but they don't seem to bother - well, at least these low hanging fruit type operations don't seem to bother. I'll bet that there's a load of western corporations targeting the Thai and other Chinese type markets which have the gambling gene.

All they had to do was move to another country and run their business from there and nobody would care. Are these people stupid or are they just sacrificial pawns served up by the big guys in charge?

Worth checking to see if this guy is still around - old post but if he's there and it's still possible I would be that he's still at it : Pick up the phone and see if he's still working : Adress: Preah Sisowath Quay, Phnom Penh, Kambodža Telefon:+855 12 767 401

Yes, I agree, they were very helpful in the branch as well.

All went well at Kasikorn today. I updated my passport number, changed my address to my current address in English and got a 3 month statement which contains the address in English - this is the document that I need to send to a foreign company. It took a while and there were plenty of forms and photocopies of my passport id page that needed signing. I took evidence of my current address but they didn't ask to see it but it does match the immigration documents stapled in the passport.

These idiots should seriously consider their priorities. There's many junkies running around the country off their head on yabba/ice, some of them so paranoid that they're fully armed up and ready to attack those imaginary demons who they're running from. It is amazing that they would attempt to choose to use whatever resources that they have to 'fight weed' instead of yabba.

This is exactly why. It's part of a proof of address process and I need to prove my address to a foreign entity. Additionally I will ask if they could possibly put my address in English - that might be a bit of a stretch but you never know - it's worth asking for.

This is all about getting the address updated, I will do whatever is required to get the address updated even if it means going to immigration for a certificate of residence.

I moved house a few years ago and didn't bother to update my address, then I got a new passport last year as well. So Kasikorn have an incorrect / out of date passport and the wrong address for me. I plan on going down there tomorrow and updating it all, has anyone had any experience of changing the address and passport information at kasikorn? For example, do I need a new certificate of residence or will they just accept a copy of the rental contract? I still live in the same street as before, but about 100 meters down the road, I doubt that will make any difference. I did a 1 year extension last month and the new address is fully up to date with immigration and the TM30 or whatever it is they print out is in my passport from the change of address a few years back and the latest 90 day report.

It's time to reap the whirlwind China, the day has come.

As is anything which is why it remains a mystery.

It's likely he stopped breathing out virus particles at the point where he died.

Give it a few weeks and I'll bet they will be waiting outside hotels for tourists on a one day overstay before they get a chance to go to immigration and extend.

I wonder what caused him to die?

It's simple and he already stated - he doesn't care if he ever comes back to Thailand again and isn't coming back now he left. Many people think the same, if they get booted out due to overstay then the party is over - so what, no problem, just move onto the next place.
