The limit of 2 per calendar year refers to land and sea.

No stated limit via air. 

Actually I believe it is 6 visa exempt entries by air per year, my neighbor was denied entry based on that rule last year at swampy, but I am not sure it is enforced regularly.

sorry posted in the wrong thread

I have always printed them as two separate pages and it has worked well. Now that I think of it, I'm not sure I have seen anyone at the I/O ever print or copy anything front and back.

So he shared the videos with their friends, colleagues, and family?  I guess these women gave him all the information how to contact these other people.  Very odd . 
And for the American bashers, including other western countries, on here.  Maybe they should look at themselves.  Because in reality they are in Thailand because they didn’t have much going for them in their own countries.  Both socially and economically inept. 

all that is needed is your name, and thanks to social media and google, people can find your friends, where you live, your family...nearly everything about you.

In Thailand never pick up property that is not yours, unless you call for witnesses first. 

That's actually a law in Thailand, not to pick up property that belongs to others that is.

It's not about money at all. It's about offering help in a special situation. She asked you and you refused. I can't see any red flags at all. If you had put your feet in her shoes ..what you would have done? Of course waiting for a farang whom she could explain her situation to. And where is a better place to meet a farang if not at the ATM? To give her a ride to the hotel would have been at least what I would have done. I don't think it was your best day in life.😕

That's okay, I don't mind that you think poorly of my decision, but it was my decision to make and I'll live with it. you can do differently when you are faced with the same situation if you like.

Yeah, not that I put any laughing emoji there, but we can back it up with that most immigration offices now have told it has become harder to get bank accounts.

and there is something funny about that? I guess I don't understand. it seems mean to me, like people are laughing at the hardships of others. by the way, what does your reply mean? "most immigration offices now have told it has become harder to get bank accounts"....?

without wanting to be a pedant, all i did was follow the instructions provided...

That would be nice if the instructions were all uniform for every consulate or embassy, take a look around, they aren't all the same. The instructions I found before I posted indicated that only the e-visa authorization letter was needed. I don't think anyone who has lived in Thailand for extended periods of time would believe that the instructions given are always complete. (and the same could be said for agencies of other countries as well).

In the sixteen years I have been here I have seen more than a fare share of foreigners riding helmetless also, and all old enough to know better. I drove tow truck for 18 years, and I can tell you first hand that brain matter isn't pretty to see.

Thanks for the help everyone! I came through today and what was needed was our passports, the e-visa approval form that was e-mailed to us, and our certificates of health insurance. It was a bit slower than coming through with the visa sticker like days past, but not much. The officer stamped us in one year from the date our insurance started, which I had arranged to be the same day we entered. The only thing I don't see on the stamp is anything indicating it is a multiple entry visa, but maybe I don't know what I am looking for, I figure on taking the original e-visa approval letter showing that it's a multiple entry with me the first time I exit and re-enter just in case.

Hi, and thanks in advance for your help. My wife and I have been on O/A multi-entry visas for many years, but this is the first time for us as far as the E-Visa goes. From what I have seen in my research it looks like we just print out the E-visa approval document and present it and our passports to immigration on arrival. Has anyone been asked for any other documents for verification?

Non-O Multiple Entry is still available from the Los Angeles Consolate, I applied two weeks ago and received it today

I just received my Non-O O/A Multiple Re-entry e-visa today via the Los Angeles Consulate, total time was about two weeks. I have no knowledge as far as the family visit visa goes.

Thailand should be happy. In several parts of the world Chinese tourists are not so welcome, as they make a lot of noise in the hotels, at buffets the take what they can't eat all and have lots of commands and demands. Why is Thailand so keen on these people? 

$$$

And this is big news? must have been a slow week.

There doesn't appear to be a lot of damage, looks more like they rented the room to horders

My thoughts too. If you can't lift it up, it is too heavy.. Aged passengers and pregnant women excluded. I used to hate traveling in the USA with all the road warriors there!

"Road Warriors"? Please explain the term, and while you're at it explain what Americans have to do with this article?

90% her fault but those low level concrete blocks are a total menace. There will be dozens of accidents until they are removed. Isn't the financial responsibility down to her insurers?

You state that the accident is 90 percent her fault and then go on to say how dangerous the construction layout is. That's interesting. You are correct that the financial responsibility should default to her insurance company, unless she has third class insurance that is.

My first wife was, and is sitting beside me here in Isaan, we have been married for fourty-two years and came here together. don't assume everyone is wearing the same pair of shoes you are. My dreams are of her and her alone.
