Had this from a Facebook contact, anybody have any further details?

" Heard from a few people who were at airport immigration office recently that as of today (28 Nov), all immigration services will be moved to Promenada because of renovations at the Chiang Mai Airport immigration. The renovations will last 2 years. Haven't seen any official notice. Anyone know anything about this? "

As this topic is 'Chiang Mai Immigration" specific it should be in the Chiang Mai Forum ?

The concept of standardization of rules as regards Thai Immigration is a leap too far, everything is "my patch" based at officer and location level.

Not everybody was enthused by the idea!

What!! You mean the actions of the white man, the empire builders, the civilizers did not work! They didn't improve the lot of those savage natives by dragging and forcing (at the point of a bayonet) them to emulate the high society. industry and education of the first world! Why is the world going backwards in quality of life and consuming everything in its path? I think we might have been better off without the industrial revolution.

 

Certainly better off without the internet which brings us daily the woes of the World, yet i cannot turn it off, 555.

Not really. English isn't perfect, should be vehicles or licenses. Other minor errors too, although to be fair excellent for a second language person.

 

Tanat, you will be fine, no need to worry. There is a wealth of information and advice on this forum.. Good luck, and welcome to CM 

Just curious as to why a Thai would ask about living in Hang Dong on an English language web site rather than talk to Thais who have a far greater knowledge of lodgings in the area.

A poor effort at a troll even by TV standards

"In Internet slang, a troll (/ˈtroʊl/, /ˈtrɒl/) is a person who sows discord on the Internet by starting arguments or upsetting people, by posting inflammatory, extraneous, or off-topic messages in an online community (such as a newsgroup, forum, chat room, or blog) with the intent of provoking readers into an emotional ..."

Which part/s of the OP do you consider trolling?

" I'm Thai and living in BKK. "

" I don't own any vehicles and licenses "

Yet you write very good English?

Something doesn't add up!!

Don't worry, they all have their parachute wings, we are quite safe.

Thought "frolicking" was not allowed?

There is no end to this man's talents!

Thank the Lord they did not come to Chiang Mai!

Reminds me of when we used to go to an IBM Seminar and come back to the office full of words we did not understand!

" prominent innovation "

Any ideas what he is talking about ?

The US election fiasco is a very good reason why Thailand does not need Democracy?

" plunged from Bt9,700 to Bt12,000 per tonne ", now that is some plunge!!

Hi,

Did you re-register after re-entering the country or after returning to CNX from another part of Thailand?

Many hotels will require to see your passport, to check visa number, departure card number, stamp, etc ... So I think passport will be often mandatory ... now if you go with your Thai wife, maybe she can register by herself ...

We will see how far this one goes, but I cannot imagine stopping 2 h every week or 2 to Immigration, after each trip to Bangkok, just for a stamp. They should have a fast service somewhere to do it ... or maybe a computer software to help ;-)

The majority of low level dives I stay in normally take a photocopy or even a photo of the passport picture page only which suggests that visa number, departure card number etc. are often not entered into the TM30 database by "owners".

I am interested in the TM30 saga from a systems point of view.

When doing a 90 Day Report in person or an Annual Extension does the officer actually use the computer to check that the TM30 receipt stapled in your passport corresponds to an entry in some database, or is the presence of a paper TM30 receipt in your passport all that they are looking for? Also the TM30 receipt does not have my name or passport number on it so how is it linked back to me?

Say for instance I take a holiday in Hua Hin and a TM30 is generated by the house/ hotel owner. This entry then eventually goes into a database which needs to be a "National Database" (available to all immigration Departments around the country) or how else would Chiang Mai ever know that I have been in Hua Hin?

Just wondering!

The government should buy the rice from the farmers at a fixed (above market) rate, and store it until the World market recovers, oh wait a minute !
