As I said above, the people who reissued the visa at Thai Immigration said that I may have trouble getting the second entry when I leave the country and come back again. I assume that it is because of all the changes that were made inside my passport.

Update: The Ministry of Foreign Affairs finally verified my visa from the States and I went to Thai Immigration and they changed the 30-day visa exemption to my original double entry 60-day tourist visa. I did end up paying for three days overstay of 1500 Baht. I also filed for a 30-day extension and I am now officially legal again.

One thing that concerns me is actually being able to use the second entry because Thai Immigration said that I might have trouble doing this (my passport has dates with red lines through them and a whole paragraph of Thai writing in it). Can anyone recommend the best border to do this at?

Sounds to me like there are more problems than stated if he has a job lined up and no work permit or ???

The job isn't definite and I would only start working after I became legal (non-immigrant B visa, work permit, teacher's license).

Hello, I am a U.S. citizen who had their passport and 60-day tourist visa stolen. (I made a police report and followed the proper procedure)

I got a replacement passport and went to the Thai Immigration. They did not have any record of me ever entering Thailand. So I had to get the flight manifest and show them that I was on the plane and they gave me a 30-day visa exemption stamp and told me to go to the Ministry of Affairs to have my original 60-day tourist visa reissued, which I did last week. The problem is that I entered Thailand on March 25 and my original visa would expire May 23 (tomorrow). I am currently waiting for the Ministry of Foreign Affairs to verify my original visa, but they are taking their sweet time and I'm not sure how competent they are (plus I am dealing with a lady who has poor English skills). They said that since the visa was issued in the U.S. that they could not reissue it, but they might be able to waive the 60 days if they could verify it existed.

My questions:

1. If I get my original 60-day tourist visa reissued and I happen to overstay a few days, will I be able to go to the Thai Consulate in Cambodia and get another Thai 60-day tourist visa issued and return to Thailand for an additional 60-days?

2. Same question as above, but say I don't get my original 60-day tourist visa issued and I overstay by more than a month.

P.S. This is my very first visit to Thailand. I already know I will have to pay a 500 baht at day overstay fee - max 20k. I also have a English teaching job lined up starting sometime in June and have not told my future employer about the issue above.

Is there any decent and free places to fish in Bangkok. Is Mae Nam Chao Phraya decent. If so, what parts?

Also, what kind of bate or lure would you recommend?
