I didn't require an updated one when I did my 90 day report the other week in Jomtien, exactly as I was advised by them in person prior to my overseas trip. Non O retirement returning to my same owned condo address. Copy of existing pre trip TM30 provided, no issue

When you think of the cost of a flight here, accomodation etc, I think that's actually a good idea that might actually act as a deterrent for this kind of anti-social behaviour by tourists. Certainly sleeping it off for a night with possibly a few thousand baht fine seems too light. I hate the yobbos from back home bringing their loutish behaviour out here thinking they'll be no serious consequences.

That was certainly my experience at Jomtien, I asked the question of them before my trip.

Nice one, logistically " drive through " definitely ranks in the category of never going to happen in Jomtien 😂

All I'll say is there is a sign on the 90 day desk in Jomtien saying that you have to do it in person the first time returning from overseas. I didn't bother attempting my usual online as a result, went in in person 2 weeks ago mid-afternoon, no queue to hand it in but a sign saying the waiting time was 1 hour. I live in the area so rather than wait just picked it up the next day when it suited me. Will go back to online for the next one as it has worked every time for me since I first signed up.

The middle of Sukhumvit and have a lie in.

It may not be world class, who really cares if it satisfies your particular lifestyle, but it seems to hold an enduring fascination for those that don't live there. Weird.

Don't despair Celsius, Europe is waking up.

Deranged fantasist.

You're assuming that there will be a constant increase, numbers are not even back to 2019 levels. As we've seen in the past any number of factors can negatively impact tourism in any given year. Global financial factors, health crisis, conflicts. etc etc. Also worth remembering the higher growth markets are closer to home and typically of shorter stay duration so it may not reflect a massive rise in numbers here at any one time. The Indian and Chinese markets have increased the lower low season months without dramatically increasing the traditional high season months.

Outright rascism tends to get in the way of logical, intelligent thought and factual evidence on here when it comes to Indian tourism to Thailand. Exact same as the notion that China zero baht tourism is the norm for Chinese visitors to Thailand.

This event and information won't go down well with the naysayers who falsely claim European tourism to Thailand is slowly declining, or that TAT do nothing to promote Thailand to the European markets.

I asked them the question 5 months ago. She specifically asked me did I own the property, which I do. I don't know if that is a factor/differential or as numerous others on this thread have pointed out that if returning on the same visa, with a re-entry permit and to the same address it is not required. Not for the first time my personal experience has differed for the better from a lot of supposed certainties spread on here

Jomtien Office, I'm on a retirement visa/extension. I did my first 90 day report yesterday in person as required after returning from overseas. I checked with the help desk prior to my trip whether I would have to do a new TM30 on return staying at my same owned condo, I was told I didn't need to. Sure enough the 90 day was processed with no mention of not having done a new TM30 on re-entry

I notice unsurprisingly you choose to ignore the fact the police had set up a road block and were checking for drunk driving etc. Doesn't suit your boring daily narrative does it ?
