100% this.

Lucky guy, is there any chance you could put me on ignore too? I find them far more useful than anything you have ever posted. He posted a very helpful trip report. All you do is assert that a TM30 is not needed based on your exceptional experience to date and a link from another poster. Last year was the FIRST time I have been asked for one. Chances are anyone who turns up without a TM30 to do an extension now is going to return empty handed.

In the most part it is because they are dishonest cheats. HTH

Border runs every 90 days on Non O and stay at wife's house?

They're so thoughtful.

It is because of people staying [often illegally] in condos that we all have to do a TM30.

They regard it as key money. They keep it when the tenant has moved out so how does that keep good tenants? If you pay the last two months the Landlord likely stiffs you, if you don't and sneak out you stiff the landlord for the utility bills - which is their justification for not accepting you not pay last two months in lieu of deposit return. People saying they have always got their deposit back should share their secret. I got my deposit back once after a very nasty argument in which he accused me of changing the locks and when I told him that was BS and he knew it his reply was a "I pay poleet [so what are you going to do about it]" His wife's intervention was the reason I got it back. Honest Landlords exist, but seem to be the minority. I don't doubt I will get my deposit back because I am dealing with high standard of conduct people, but that is so rare that it has hindered my moving.

Friend went to court - judge split the 2 months down the middle.

It's good to know Thai prisons have helicopters on standby to airlift any inmate who gets sick to hospital.

Could go one further and get a 90 day visa for Vietnam with no such requirements.

Oh dear, he won't be well enough to serve his sentence. He will have to be released on health grounds. He will of curse be well enough to engage in politics and money making after his release - might even find time for the grandchildren.

Things got much harder for use starting with him and continued that way through successive Governments, accelerating again under the Army. Prior to Thaksin it was a 'free and easy' environment.

They are, they overpay. Bumrungrad and the Soi5 taxi touts are having a field day.

Don't see how that is relevant. The Imam tells them how to vote after telling Labour what they want - how do you think we got Shariah courts? Blair probably blanched at that one.

This, and ghost in pre owned units.

I think the Labour party thought that they could replicate the structure of the Union vote - meet with a few key individuals (imams) who would then tell their underlings how to vote.

We will be back to nothing getting done other than contract disbursement. The good old days for Falangs in Thailand ceased when Thaksin got enough of a majority to have complete control and stamp his personal desires on everything.

The point here is that they are not going to jeapardise a company policy deal over one Bt7m claim, if you take it out on your own you are on your own is my understanding of the insurance market. Knew somebody who drove here because he was under Global corporation insurance, said never would if had to buy personal insurance - reasoning as above. BTW Prompt unquestioning payment of small claims is a cost viable customer retention strategy (vs customer acquisition cost).

Not been to lower Sukhumvit lately? The "Muslim Area" now extends from Soi3/1-Soi 5 (where it always was as the all welcome"Arab Soi") to Soi 13 [the border for now].

Wriggle clause.

Huh, whats that?

48, not married [?] - seems likely he is another "Elite" [alleged] criminal.

There are hundred to choose from.

What do you have to support your claims? You'll be showing us all the documentation to support your claims of correct duty by couriers and your successful reclaim of duty from Customs in that case.

Because someone on a retirement extension doesn't work here and thus doesn't get exposure to aspects of how things work here and certainly is not immersed in things as a Thai running a business would be.
