OK...for anyone interested ...
went to jomtien immigration today a tuesday....got there at 12;50 stood in line with maybe 40 or so people ...moved quickly showed them packet of papers to include 30 day extension of stay, copy of passport and stamped page, tm30 rom condo, passport and one pic...got a number went inside and was #2 in line so i guess others in line were there for something else......five minutes later gal takes packet, takes 1900 thb, takes my pic and tells me to have a seat...at 1;20 they give me my passport all done with extension..less than 30 minutes arrival to out the door...
WOW i was amazed as last year it was an all day affair...so not sure if today was just dumb luck or what but it was very efficient today...
thanks for the tips...glad i went at 1 pm instead of early am like i did last year.
