Thinking outside the box  here, perhaps the neighbor can be bribed into good behavior.  Of course there are numerous problems with this approach and am just throwing out an idea.

IMO, he upgraded version is light years better than the old version!

But of course it's confusing at first.  And there are most probably a number of temporary glitches.

I'm familiar with the new layout from another forum and am pretty sure that by the end of the month most active posters here will enjoy the upgraded functionality and improved loading speed.. 

Thanks for the responses guys.

Since I'd be moving to a new province I'd have to fill out the T.M 48 at the new location before doing a 90 day report at the new location.

I reckon that if the online reporting actually works for me that I could just do it online without formally changing addresses. In the past I was successfully able to do an online report once but the next time after 5 hours of frustration just got on a baht bus to Jomtien.

What I am wondering is if I file a T.M 48 at Krabi Immigration, can I then just go to another counter and do the 90 day report the same day? Or the next day as one night at a guesthouse might be cheaper than transportation costs? What 'd like to avoid is paying for lodging and not even being able to do the report the following day.

Is there a time lag before submitting the Change of Address form and being able to do a 90 day report? Perhaps it takes a while for the Change of Address to get updated in the system before the 90 Day Report. This would not be an issue for me if the online reporting works. My 90 report will be due soon after the date I plan to be arriving at my new address.

I'm especially interested in how Krabi Immigration handles this.

My 90 day report will be due in November. Ideally, I could take the ferry from Koh Lanta arriving in Krabi town at 10 AM, get by business handled and return to Koh Lanta on a 3:30 PM ferry from Ao Nang.

I will be returning to Thailand on September 2nd.

I will be renewing my 1 year Extension of Stay approx September 15th.

Will my first 90 Day Report be 90 days from September 2nd or 90 days from September 15th?

Note: The reason I want to know now is I will be traveling around Thailand when my 90 Report is due and I can't depend on the online system working so I'm trying to sort out my travel plans now.

I entered the Philippines with a 30 day stamp at the airport. Then I got a 29 day extension.

It says valid until 21 June 2016. I assume this means I can fly out on June 21st (notJune 20th).

June 21st would be my 59th day if the day I entered was Day 0 (not Day 1).

Just want to double-check that this is the way it works in the Philippines before I book my flight?

Thanks Joe,

Does anyone know the mechanics of getting the re-entry at Don Muang? Can I get it before check in or only as I'm getting stamped out?

If something went wrong, I wouldn't want to start the process of getting the retirement visa from scratch.

I don't want to throw 1800 baht down the toilet but if it's quite simple to get at the airport then I'd like to do it that way.

I have what's commonly referred to as a retirement visa.

I'll be leaving Thailand and then in a few months returning for a few hours or perhaps a day and then leaving the country again probably by way of Don Muang.

Can I get 2 re-entry permits at the same at Jomtien immigration?

This would cost me 2000 baht rather than spending 3900 for a multiple re-entry permit.

Here's a great deal from Etihad guys!

Locals told them it was the kite flying season and loose strings often flew up. It presented a hazard to motorcyclist in particular, they said.

Next month is water throwing season.

Throwing a bucket of water in a biker's face should be a felony.

I'm no fan of Jeb and I'm no fan of W.

But what's Jeb got to lose by bringing Dubya to South Carolina?

Nothing is working for Jeb! This probably won't work either but it's his best shot.

Maybe the internet gateway keep mosquitos out of the country.

A friend of mine is arriving on January 1st and departing on March 17th.

He got a Non-Immigrant O Visa which is good for 90 days.

He travels to Thailand once a year every year and generally stays slightly more than 3 months. He was thinking it might be to his advantage to get a 1 Year Extension of Stay. It appears the cost for this would be 1900 baht a year plus he would have to pay 1000 baht a year for a re-entry permit.

Questions:

If he arrives on January 1st what's the first day that he can apply for a 1 Year Extension of Stay?

For this first extension of stay he only needs money in the bank for 2 months, right?

How about using Section 44 powers to make it illegal to throw a bucket of water in the face of a motorbike driver?

Does anyone know the meaning or paid the 150 baht fee for "Pay With Cash"?

I can't recall seeing this fee on their website a couple of years ago.

http://www.bangkokbank.com/BangkokBank/PersonalBanking/DailyBanking/CurrencyExchange/Pages/Fees.aspx

By BKK bank account do you mean an account with Bangkok Bank?

I have done ACH transfers to Bangkok Bank New York which then gets sent to my Bangkok Bank account.

The fee from Bangkok Bank New York on transfers of 2K-50K USD is $10.

http://www.bangkokbank.com/BangkokBank/PersonalBanking/DailyBanking/TransferingFunds/TransferringIntoThailand/ReceivingFundsfromUSA/Pages/ReceivingFundsfromUSA.aspx

The fee from Bangkok Bank Thailand is 0.25% of the transfer with a min of 200 baht and a max of 500 baht.

http://www.bangkokbank.com/BangkokBank/PersonalBanking/DailyBanking/CurrencyExchange/Pages/Fees.aspx

But looking at the above link there is a wording that I don't recall seeing before, a 150 baht charge if "Paid By Cash".

What does "Paid By Cash" mean?

If the proceeds are deposited in my Bangkok Bank account is that considered being "Paid By Cash"?

If so, how would one not be "Paid In Cash" to avoid this 150 baht fee.

One last question. On the website it says:

Once an application has been completed by the applicant. Application status is 'in progress'.

When I input my reference number it says the Status is pending. The Update is blank.

Is their a difference between "in progress" and "pending".

I made it to Page 3. It appears that info that I typed in should appear on Page 3 but it does not.

It's blank. (screenshot below)

Has anyone encountered this?

This is on Safari.

A few hours later I hit the Back Button on my browser.

Then I submitted it again.

It worked!

Tried the Reference Number and said the application was pending.

The website says it gets processed within 7 business days.

Have any of you had your submission processed but then ultimately not accepted?

Using Chrome you should download IE TB

https://chrome.google.com/webstore/detail/ie-tab/hehijbfgiekmjfkfjpbkbammjbdenadd?hl=en

Open the Immigration 90 day report website in IE Tab and it will work !

Thanks NowRetired.

I gave it a shot but unfortunately it doesn't work on Macs.

Maybe in the future

Sorry, but IE Tab is not currently supported on your platform.

Unfortunately the Chrome Web Store does not allow us to indicate in advance that Mac & Linux are not supported or we would have saved you the trouble of installing.

I made it to Page 3. It appears that info that I typed in should appear on Page 3 but it does not.

It's blank. (screenshot below)

Has anyone encountered this?

This is on Safari.

On Opera, I can't get the list of countries on the drop down menu to appear.

On Chrome. When I click my arrival date from the calendar it appears as NaN Nan Nan.

Unless it's normal for Page 3 to be blank then I guess I'll go to an internet cafe tomorrow to try it on IE.

I'll be in Lamai for another month or so and my Logitech Mouse which worked well for years has just dies (it's not the battery) and I'm not thrilled with my touchpad.

Anywhere in Lamai I might be able to buy a mouse?

I don't have a motobike.

Do songtheaws run along Talad Mai Road and if so what's the price for a short trip?

Asking to determine if I should book a hotel very close to the bus station. Thanks!

I thought it'd be easy to buy a bicycle cable lock, and maybe it is, but so far I'm striking out.

Tried some bike repair shops, Tuesday-Friday market, and a store in the basement of Tuk Com.

I was thiking maybe Big C?

Anyone know where I can buy one one near a baht bus route?

Thanks!

giddyup, websites and directions to amphur office would be very much appreciated. My apologies if this info is already on the board.

Thanks.

Amphur Office is on Sukhumvit road after the Bangkok Pattaya hospital, on the same side going towards Bangkok. Will forms can be found and downloaded from the internet.

Anyone know approx how far past Bangkok Pattaya Hospital?
