Maybe he is going to see if Putin will put in a good word for him with [Trump] to name him his running mate or maybe he hopes Putin will show him the pee videos and another collection or two of photos that allow Putin to say jump and trumpie says "yes sir, how high"....be sure and stop off in North Korea and see donnie boys other love interest there and deliver a bouqet of roses and a love note?

i did 60 day evisa tourist...extended 30 more days at immigration/no fun center...then went to laos, got appt at thai embassy stayed in vientiane two nights got another 60 day tourist visa (laos overall pretty easy but takes two days)...back to jomtien immigration to extend again another 30 days which took all day to get done ...the 180 day thing re taxes is all in one calendar year so no big deal as me and i think lot of snowbirds come about nov til march or so spread over two calendar years.. if you don't want to fool with jomtien immigration u can do the one day van border run to cambodia...3300 thb..leave 5 am return about 3 pm but very simple and easy and maybe less pain than jomtien immigration which is a total zoo of standing in line...but take a look as supposedly u can now do 30 day extension where u put docs and pay online and make and appointment with immigration to just show up and get the passport stamped...never knew that so went there at 8;15 am last week...got done at 4 pm but still had to come back next day to pick it up....so about 8 hours of standing around and still had to go back next day..in that case i wish i had just gone to cambodia where at least u just sit in a comfortable van rather than stand in lines all day i guess other way is to move to russia and get russian passport and they you apparently can show up and no problem for 90 days...not sure if they get to extend another 90 days with simple border run...if not do as many apparently are doing and just overstay as long as you like.

British Tourist Dies After Fall from Pattaya Hotel
pomchop replied to webfact's topic in Pattaya News
seems from what can be seen in pic that his balcony was not low and would be very difficult to accidentally fall over it...sad ending whatever happened.. ..people also manage to "fall" overboard on cruise ships which requires a lot of effort to do and generally the cameras show that it is normally some drunk person climbing up on railing for a "king of the world" or selfie pic...high rails are good but certainly there will still be people going over them... -

ok add springstein to another american hero to attack and piss off all his fans as well...Springsteen is a dem and a vocal supporter. MAGA should make a list of the 100 most popular celebs in america and be sure and attack each and every one who does not pledge allegiance to the orange buffoon...obviously they can have no talent or followers if they don't drink kool aide. -

and it does not appear that Taylor will have to beg her fans to send her $$ to pay multi million dollar court judgements..nor does she appear to encourage her massive following to engage in violence or throw temper tantrums....so who is the adult in the room? But please MAGA...attack Taylor and be sure to also attack Oprah, Michelle Obama, and dozens of other celebs who are loved and followed by millions of voters...gonna take more than a has been like kid rock or ted nugent to cover that... -
Yes to each his own. I spent six months roaming around as a budget traveler and a lot of that was all over thailand. I certainly did not have room safes and was not keen to have very much cash around. So I personally found having a Thai account very handy as back then I could withdraw only a thousand baht or so as i needed without having to worry about security of the cash or any fees to speak of. I was not so worried about a maid or thai stealing my $$ but more so the other farang travelers especially staying in simple little easy to enter bungalows or while i was swimming or whatever so wanted to keep minimal cash around. Back then using a home country atm had big fees...but now my home Schwab ATM has no fees and the hotels i stay in are much more secure so no need.
-
yes i did still have the previous tm30 and had not changed address...but before i went i wanted to be sure so my thai landlady called them and did what they said and they sent her a tm30 form printed on immigration letterhead in thai so i brought that along just in case. Silly me thinking that immigration would accept the form that they created. Made no difference go stand in line. I could not believe that was correct so asked couple other clerks who looked and said go stand in line.
-
I agree...but thai landlady talked direct to immigration and they emailed here the tm30 on their stationary which i printed and brought with me but apparently that did not make them happy. I was extra careful and foolishly thought that having a tm30 created by immigration might actually work at immigration. On top of that i had not even changed address since last time but no matter...go stand in line.

Maybe because the "tourist" want to stay for several months traveling around thailand and would like to bring in cash and deposit it into a bank rather than hiding in a room safe or having to carry around with them. Then they can withdraw $$ all over thailand from ATMs and not pay as much in fees especially if want to withdraw small amounts. I used to do it all the time...had two bank accounts both opened in chiang rai...one kasikorn one bkk bank. Then covid hit and i did not come for two years so both accounts got closed as no activity and then in pattaya big hassle to open new one or reopen old ones.,..fortunately i have a chas schawb ATM that refunds 100% of ATM fees as well as good exchange rate so problem solved.

TM30 - January 2024 Version - Address Not Found???
pomchop replied to TimF's topic in Thai Visas, Residency, and Work Permits
Apparently not in my case as i wanted to make sure so landlady did it all register again online and it was still a pain in the butt even though i had a paper she had printed that was immigration stationary all in thai saying where i stay etc and still got hassled. -
I went to immigration last monday for a 30 day extension of my toursist visa. Have been there several times before so as usual expect the worst and hope for the best. Get there at 8;15 as opens at 8;30...big line already there. I had made double sure to have all the proper copies of this and that a recent pic etc along with TM30 done direct with immigration and given to me which was all on immigration stationary in thai that my landlady provided me. 1. Get in line one for 45 mins. Finally get my turn hand them the packet. They give me a que number and send me to other building. 2. Go to that building which is packed. Display says i am about 40 numbers from my turn. Sit there for about 45 minutes til my turn. Hand them the packet again. They take the letter from immigration and copy down and give me another small white sheet of paper to staple in back of passport. Then tell me to go back to original line to get another que number. Makes no sense so i ask couple other people to make sure i understand. Yes to back to line get que number. 3. Go back to original line which is now even longer. Stand in line for 45 minutes til my turn. Give them the packet again. She wants me to go make a copy of the new tm30 form they just gave me. Make copy come back and get another que number and told to go into main building 4. Guard stops me at door and says "come back 2 pm" says closed: Sign says close for lunch at 11;30 . I show him the time on my phone isnow 10;56....no good. He says come back 2 pm. Great so 3 hours of nothing to do. 5 . Go kill 3 hours and back again 1:45. My que number is about 60 spots away and i time that they are doing about 1 number every 5 minutes. Do the math and realize no way they will get to my number before closing at 4;30 pm...sit there and at about 4 they call my number. Go to counter hand then the packet again. Look at it, ask for 1900 baht, take my pic and tell me come back tomorrow....grrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrr why she can';t stamp the damn passport right then no idea as papers have been checked and rechecked. 6. Bolt back home. Go back Tues am and get passport with new stamp in five mins and done. so bottom line got there at 8:15...all papers in order. Almost 8 hours later still don't have stamp and have to go home come back next day...all for a simple 30 day extension. Not exactly a model of efficiency and of course i was one of several hundred who had same deal. I did notice that they have big signs there now saying i can download docs and pay online and make an appointment and then theoretically just come and have stamp in passport...BUT of course i did not know this and my expiration date was Monday so needed to get it done. Not sure if this was publicized if so not much as i read couple of thai papers online every day and never saw it. so IF you plan to go for extension i highly recommend you try to find the online way and make an appointment and see if surely that works better. Whoever designed the current system is a sadistic bastard or total idiot or both. It should not require standing in lines all day and having 3 different sets of people look at the same docs over and over to get a simple stamp. And no problems of me ever overstaying or too many visits or anything...simple 60 day tourist visa to extend 30 days. Overall rating? HORRIBLE

Just in on the "conspiracy theory" channel.. Taylor Swift has agreed to run as Biden's VP -
Trump told the world that he could and did just "grab em by the pxxxy"....which is what he did with caroll but got a little carried away and inserted fingers into said "puxxxy".. The only reason it is not called rape is because under new york law you have to insert penis into said "puxxy"...otherwise it is sexual assualt..BUT in most all other states fingers into pxxxxy is legally rape..which the judge correctly pointed out. so little donnie only got convicted of sexual assault..so for all the bible beaters that lick trumps rear that is not a problem at all. When somebody tells you in advance what he did then just maybe he did exactly that...and in spite of all the trumpers whining and accusing caroll of making it up the bottom line is the jury listened to all the evidence and found him guilty.....whine all you want but you are still convicted of sexual assault... of course if the jury had voted not guilty then they would be fine patriots but like the election, anything that goes against trump must obviously all be rigged...what a five year old pretending to be a president.

Well by all means then the immigration people should extend their no visa required stay to at least one year so they can have more time to engage in nefarious activities. How many other nationalities would love to have 90 days no visa and be less likely to work without permits, create their own mafia, and generally create chaos...not to mention attacking a disabled man and then threatening him if he identifies them. Good job TAT.

Much more likely he will start defaming her again and get hit with another lawsuit and even more $$ damages....the good thing is he can appeal to the cows come home but he still has to put the cash in escrow along with interest or put up property as collateral...and the absolute BEST he can hope for on appeal is maybe to slightly reduce the size of the check. And next week an even bigger verdict is likely to smack him in the face for business fraud for decades so then he can add that to his list of self inflicted problems to whine about. Not to mention the criminal cases which almost every legal scholar says are highly likely to result in felony convictions with serious jail time attached.. poor little donnie couldn't keep his big fat mouth shut, couldn't stop grabbing women by the pxxxsy, couldn't stop lying and bragging about how very rich he was,....didn't have the basic common sense to accept the FACT that he lost the election to Biden and retire to Mar a Largo , play golf, and surround himself with adoring fans who would tell him nonstop how he was the messiah.....how'd that work out for you donnie boy? Why it sort of reminds me of an old nursery rhyme...something like Dumpty Trumpty sat on a wall Dumpty Trumpty took a big fall All of Dumptys lawyers and cash Couldn't save Dumpty Trumpys big fat ass

Here we go again. Everybody is always picking on little donnie boy. Every charge against him is a witch hunt. Every jury verdict is rigged unless he wins. Every election is rigged unless he wins. Every person he hires is the best and brightest until they say something that he doesn't like then they are idiots, commies, traitors, to be vilified and threatened. Every woman lets him grab em by the pxxxy as they just can't resist his "charms". Every wife was great until he got divorced. Every business deal was perfect except maybe the dozens that went bankrupt. Every judge that rules against him is biased. Every grand jury that indicts him is full of planted democrats. Every prosecutor that files charges against him is controlled by Biden. Every thing he has ever done or ever will do is perfect....it is just all so unfair to poor little bone spur donnie, born with a silver spoon to shovel BS.......and every fool who sends money to the man who is so rich he will never ever need or ask for their money needs to look up the word delusional if they can't admit that they have been conned.

Thanks i needed a good laugh and you provided it. If you have not seen and heard trump attack a judge you must live under a rock...been going on for a long time and he did it again today. There is a new thing called google. You should try to learn about it. You are correct that i may need anti depressants as delusional people who buy all the Trump BS are indeed depressing.
