Has anyone done a retirement visa at the new location yet? Is there any sort of queue system? Thanks

sorry if this has been asked a million times but.......how long before my retirement visa expires can I apply for renewal?

there is also a shop just selling headphones in NIM plaza next to Rimping. Nim plaza is opposite Central airport plaza

Yes, commercially-prepared tahini and hummus can be too salty, which is one reason I make them myself.  My blood pressure seems to be very sensitive to salt in my diet.  Another reason to make it yourself is cost.  Chickpeas are cheap, yet hummus is expensive.  Same with tahini and sesame seeds. 

Nancy I have been making my own Tahini for a few years now and it always seems a bit bitter compared to store bought Tahini. How are your results in making Tahini? 

Thanks everyone for your replies. Since I live within walking distance of the airport I thought it might be convenient to take care of this before my flight on Friday. I have to fly to BKK for my international flight so it looks like getting stamped in Chiang Mai airport is not possible. If immigration was located in the arrival hall it would be so convenient but I have lived here long enough to know convenient isn't part of the plan. Again thanks everyone.

I know there is an office upstairs at Chiang Mai airport and I am wondering if it is possible to get a Re-entry permit a few days before my flight to avoid the trip to Promenada? Or does it have to be the day of flight? Thanks

You couldn't have both a "retirement visa" and an extension of stay. If the non-imm O-A had expired but you still had time left on your last permission or else it had expired and you got an extension of stay, then you would need a re-entry permit and you should have put the re-entry permit number on the arrival card where it asked for visa number and directed the IO's attention to the re-entry permit.

 

Getting an entry error corrected is fairly common. Illegally entering the country is less common.

sorry for the confusion, what i meant to say was that I had a reentry stamp which preserves the retirement visa 

I had a situation last week that might help in some way. I was crossing from Laos to Thailand with a year long retirement visa with an extension. Immigration stamped me into Thailand with a 30 day visa. This effectively cancelled my retirement visa. I didnt notice until a week later in Chiang Mai and going to immigration for another issue. To resolve this issue I had to go to immigration at the airport and it took about 1/2 hour for them to contact Nong Kai and cancel my 30 day visa. Perhaps going to the airport immigration 

might be worth it for you.

If you are new to flying I would recommend the track. Better than landing in the water in the rice fields.

yes they own it, but I don't think they mind. There is no sensitive areas there that I know of. Its far from the airport and I have seen Thai people shooting weddings there with drones so I think they are used to seeing them. 

or you can go to HuayTung Tao, which should have a lot more water now.

you can go to 700 year stadium to the running track,  before 5:00 when people come to exercise.

I believe its 50 baht for farang and 20 baht for Thai

I would imagine if she wasn't guaranteed an easy exit , she would not have waited to the last moment to escape. 

The title says it all. I know Rimping has frozen and most probably Makro does also, and the fresh markets seem to be hit or miss. Does anyone know which markets or stores have fresh spinach consistently? thanks

Thanks

Get yourself down to AAA and get an international drivers license before you get here. 

They are for control of a spider mite problem in an indoor hydroponic garden.

Does anyone know if Ladybugs or Ladybirds as the Thai call them can be purchased in Thailand? I am in Chiang Mai . Thanks
