I am on a non-imm O (marriage) at the moment.

Due work, frequent travel outside the country, I can not get the extension and need a new visa each year.

So I am thinking about the 5 year option Thai Elite.

Is it possible immigration will tell me to get the correct visa, which is non-imm O and does not let me join Thai Elite?

When I join Thai Elite, will my non-imm O visa be cancelled?

Thanks

Is there any link to actually watch video of the flood areas in Bankok proper anywhere

The whole day on Thai tv.

I was caught in the traffic when they started shooting. I approached Zeer Rangsit. Lucky when they heavy rain came down.

Please post reasons why you are fed up by Thailand and want to go back to you home country?

None and I won't go back.

Best: always friendly (traffic) police who helps you to get rid of your B100 bills.

Best: Traffic jams in BKK which give you plenty of time to think

Worst: Sexy university girls, which give you plenty to think about...

... or maybe it was the other way around.

Water is free until 30 units or 30 m3.

I travel a lot to the USA.

Going there, departing from any country, and arriving in the USA is a nightmare due to security.

Once you are inside the USA, passed the customs area, it is a nice country.

Pathetic question from the OP.

TOT trying to kickstart stalled 3G plan

Writer: KOMSAN TORTERMVASANA Published: 26/08/2009 at 12:00 AM Newspaper section: BusinessTOT may withdraw its revised 29-billion-baht 3G project from the cabinet and use the previous draft because the project appears to be stalled.

Board spokesman Ratian Srimongkol said the state telecom enterprise submitted the revised 3G project to the cabinet several months ago but so far there was no sign it would be tabled for approval.

The revised project calls for general bidding for the third-generation mobile service and local financing for flexibility.

He said that as further delays in the 3G launch scheduled for Dec 5 could disrupt its business opportunities and marketing strategies, it would be better to use the original plan approved earlier by the previous government.

The original plan allows TOT to seek international financing in the form of export credits and to call international bidding.

TOT intends to upgrade 533 base stations of its subsidiary Thai Mobile so that it can start offering services by Dec 5, covering areas along the Airport Link route.

He said TOT earlier feared international bidding could pose problems in documentation, as requests need to be in English and sent to the foreign embassies of all bidders.

The process takes time to translate the documents. But the spokesman said such problems have been resolved and TOT was ready for such documents to be sent.

If the revised project is withdrawn, TOT could use the original plan to call international bidding and seek foreign funds to launch its 3G project immediately.

3G not this year.

Also,be prepared to be treated like the scum of the Earth,like something they stepped in on the way to work.

They seem too be pissed of at having to do anything when a ''' Fello Brit'''' walks in.

Same with the ambassy of the Netherlands.

Spoke to few people overthere and ALL agree to same unfriendly manners of ambassy people.

Prime Minister Abhisit Vejjajiva.

First I thought he was ok. But now I think he is just the same as all the others.

No real pollicies and friends with Burma.

The whole world forgot already what happened last year with the people in Burma.

What typhoon, what uprising...

The interaction and awkward comments amongst them is often entertaining.

True. They sometimes try to be funny.

The interview section is sometimes nice but depends on the guest.

A poll about the NBT Newsline program in English every workday.

What time is it on?

Between 8 and 9 in the morning every workday.

The reason I havent seen it as I am long gone to work by the time this airs. Would guess that's true of most 'working' farangs in Thailand.

Good point. But for who are they making this program?

For Thai people to get some English language experience?

I watch it every now and then. But it is not a 100% newsprogram so I do not like it a lot.

If the Democrats will be in power and have de PM, for how long can this goverment rule?

When do they have to call the next general elections?

(if they can rule without getting in any sort of trouble)

I read somewhere about the bankaccount (with the 400K) being in both names (husband/wife) being a problem.

It now shows both our names in our bankbook.

Should the bankaccount only be in my name (husband) for the extension of stay to be accepted?

As the rule says that it has to be your money I would have thought that the bank book has to be in your name.

Any experience around of being rejected because of the shared bankbook?

This 400K in the bank is good for me.

Does this one year stay (extension) also comes with the multiple entry?

Is there anybody out there who can report about the situation inside the terminal building?

People are also stranded after immigration control.

Good morning all

It has been a while since my last visit to the airport.

At what exit door are the taxi (meter) located?

I rememeber when you exit door 3...

but I think there are also located at door 10?

Who can confirm the latest positions (exit doors) of the taxi meter.

thanks and have a nice day

Malerone tablets are very expensive.

Are you aware of the side effects?

Very dangerous.

Some say (people with malaria experience) you better can have the malaria treated than taking the precaution Malarone tablets.

Be carefull for how long you decide to take the tablets.

Not all people get sick but those who do do get "crazy".

You could tell the taxi driver to take Ram Intra and Outer Ring East. This way you avoid city centre traffic.

Thanks all for this advise.

I think I will be out of the country when this visa expires.

So might be a problem to go for extension and wait for 30 days for the result.

Might be a problem every year.

I will go to immigration office later this year to check out what my options are.

Thanks ubonjoe.

You got me worried for a minute.

But now see your 'Edit Start all over' message.

Yes it is for marriage and support wife.

I will try the extension (multi entry) next year.

Thanks again
