Were you here on tourist visas/visa exempts? And did you spend any nights outside of Thailand during this time?

I was planning to get an SETV from Laos but did a bit of research and read stories here of people being refused an SETV if they have been in Thailand for more than 90 days in the past 6 months. Is that the current situation?

Please go to the doctor. This can be dangerous if one waits too long...

So why are you replying 14 years later?

Air pollution is known to trigger heart attacks. You'd hardly go to an air pollution clinic if you suffered one.

Help the rest of us then and stop being so cryptic. Non-Thai, non-western working girls but you don't know their nationality? So how do you know they were non-Thai and non-western? And how did you know they were "working girls"? Did they offer you their services on the bus?

That is a pretty good reason. However, I am prepared to bet that the low number of foreigners crossing is because they are unaware that it is open, and there are not yet organised visa runs going there.

I was replying to the guy boasting about his wonderful holiday in Yangon.

1) Yes 

2) How long it will takes to see some results? Days, weeks, months?

3) How it works? TheyYou  block the man account, they issue a warrant against him or what they will do?

 

You appear to be delusional. You really think the police or anyone else is going to waste time and resources just to get you your 2500 back? It's gone,  you're not seeing it again and you have no one to blame but yourself. But if enough people report the same scammer the police might eventually do something. See it as your civic duty.

The guy propose me the place.

When you do a bank transfer you can see the account holder's name. Did you keep a record of it?

All you can do is report it to the police, learn your lesson and move on.

The Tories are trying to stop the illegal immigrants , they have set up camps in Rwanda and are paying France money to stop them leaving France .

   If Tories wanted them to keep wages low  , they would allow them to work

Wishful thinking. How many of these illegal immigrants will end up in Rwanda? We're talking about less that 1% in practice. And paying France is an old policy that has never worked in the past. Most of these migrants will end up in the black economy and the Tories know it.

Why do Tory supporters never learn? In every election for over half a century they've promised to get tough on immigration and yet immigration is now at an all-time high with the Tories in power.

I don't know many details. But I know that all those people in those little boats start in France.

Is France at war? Do they have to fear for their lives in France?

If all these people are desperately trying to apply for asylum, why don't they do it in France - without a dangerous and illegal trip with a little boat?

Not only that but a lot of these "refugees" are from Albania, an EU candidate country that doesn't persecute people but does have thriving criminal organisations which profit from this madness: https://archive.ph/lSXqI

Any claim by the Gary Linkekars of this world that this is a human rights issue is just cynical virtue signalling.

As for the Tories, they have absolutely no intention of solving this issue. They just cynically play the immigration card at every single election but the truth is they want mass immigration just as much as the left because it keeps wages low and house prices high.

The OP seems to be looking at things from a very western perspective. Monogomy is not expected of men in Thailand, who very often have mia nois or other kinds of "bits on the side". He needs to start looking at it from a Thai perspective and see the mother of his child as one woman in his life but that doesn't mean he can't have another woman in his life who gives him the intellectual stimulation he craves.

Ignore the hysterical comments above. They're not going to help you get better. I was once in exactly your position so went to Bumrungrad. The doctor told me to lie on the exam table and pushed my stomach a few times. He wanted to check this didn't cause agony, which it didn't. He then asked me what I'd been eating and recommended I avoid dairy and return to my normal diet, then told me it should get better by itself, which it did.

From your description it seems like the worst of it is over but you just have some lingering symptoms. These should go away after a few more days. It's fine to continue using imodium to control it. Some people take it long term. You really only need to see a doctor if you lose a lot of weight, suffer pain or have blood in your stool.

The school and visa runners I spoke to in Pattaya said not Laos for now. I don't know why. I sure wish I took their advice.

Don't you mean you wish you had ignored them? They seem to have given you bad advice. Laos is the best option.

Same here. Better value than buying the same products from Lazada.

How would that help when the copies have already been signed in black ink and I am trying to work out if I need to request new copies signed in blue?

I usually sign in black ink and have never had a problem.

We get off the plane knowing we might get beat down and handcuffed and it's fun!!!!  lol

Yes, it seems to be compulsory to declare your undying love for Thailand in these cases.

I've taken overnight VIP buses to and from the south on many occasions and have never had my passport checked. They probably realise illegal migrants are not going to be using this service.

It is good that I had a look at this thread. I had no idea that TM 30 form is now being asked for 30 day extension. When I went there about 2.5 months ago, it wasn't asked. The usual 3 forms were necessary.

 

Anyway, I got it printed. I want to ask something. I thought of filling it in myself so that it won't cause any inconvenience to my landlady. And then only asking her to sign it. But, they might not like it at the Immigration if it is my handwriting, right? So, the landlady should fill it in, I guess? By the way, should she fill it in in Thai or in English? Or, does it not matter? 

 

But, anyway, this is weird. I thought that form was for long term stayers. 

 

 

 

 

 

Ask your landlady to do it online (the fact that the immigration officers didn't mention it suggests she did that last time) and then send you a screenshot. It's something that can be done in 5 minutes with the official app. I think that would turn out to be less hassle for both of you than trying to do it yourself. Just remember she has to do a new one each time you re-enter Thailand.
