I have never done it online. But, I thought I read on a post here that the online report due date was changed so that it could now be done right up to the 90 day due date (but no 7 day post due date extension like when going in person).
Perhaps either my memory or what I thought I read was wrong?
Please advise.

In Chiang Mai we a good condition used Click 150 for the following reasons: Wife wanted a step thru and the 150 was much better than her Scoopy 110 going up the mountains to visit her parent in Mae Rim.
So: Step Thru and Hills/Mountains.

Changes such as this to the Medicare Program would require federal legislation.

jacko45k,
Thanks. Exactly what I'm looking for.

I'm currently in Jomtien but return to Chiang Mai in a couple weeks. Hospital /medical doctor not needed (unless a prescription is needed), for the moment at least. A blood testing station and a pharmacy should be sufficient. Fascino might dispense without prescription, but I haven't physically gone to check yet.
Appreciate readers recommendations on Where for both a) and for b) in subject title,
in either Jomtien/Pattaya or in Chiang Mai. Thanks.

Probably should close the other thread.

With so much sun, wind and so many rivers in Thailand, it could use this opportunity to invest in sustainable energy and electrify transportation, which would significantly lower the demand for fossil fuels.
That's what the Biden Administration is doing & is refusing to stop or slow it's war on US oil. Biting them in the ass big time, but too thick headed to reverse course.
It's part of the reason Putin decided to invade Ukraine when he did. Biden's policy was Putin's opportunity: Attack now & blackmail Europe with oil.

I'd be quite happy to accept Sweden and Finland and expel (and wall up) Turkey - Turkey just another tin pot Islamic country in my opinion one step away from fundamentalism
Sympathize with your statement. However, the last thing the West needs is a <deleted> off Islamic Theocrat in a very strategic location and with Russian Air Defense Systems (& the Russian blackmail that entails). Turkeys historical fear of Russian Geopolitical expansion could turn to further Russian cooperation, all due to a single personality (Erdogan). Delicate diplomacy must continue.

That is joyless, vaguely scary visual hell hole. Where is the beach? Where is the sea? It'd looks like a slum tenement!
There is the beach at top of picture, about 100m walk to promenade. I should have used this picture but the view of Neo & it's pools is in the shade at bottom here.

Sorry, I wasn't aware that Jomtien is a slum. Your opinion of course, but each time that I visit Jomtien, I find it very relaxing, friendly, relatively clean.
My house in Samui is definitely not for her - it is a little, remote wooden house where I can do my science experiments, not suitable to recuperate. In any case, Jomtien/Pattaya was chosen because she needs to be relatively close to her family in Chachoengsao.
I have to say that while some posters find my decisions strange, their is good reasoning behind them. In any case, I find their attitude and comments downright weird.
Simon43,
Thanks for writing this. I was thinking the same but didn't want to waste my time knowing that observations about understanding & cordiality on thaivsa usually just start denials /arguements or go in one ear & out the other.

Thanks! But I need a condo with 2 bedrooms, fitness and swimming pool for rehabilitation. Up to about 15,000 baht a month. Thanks again for your input.
Picture of Neo looking down from my condo. So it has the pools. I have no knowledge of price or size or if it has a gym. I consider the location excellent, on baht bus line and only 100-150m to the sand where Tappraya meets beach road /Dong Tan police box. Nearby restaurants & bars (I don't drink so don't appeal to me) but I sleep well at night not notice any noise.

Our full-time nail technicians make about $7,000 per month, but yet we can't find enough employees. There is a severe labor shortage in America. If we brought Thai citizens to America, it would only take 2 months to train them. Then they could get their nail tech license. We would pay them the same wage as our current employees.
This sounds reasonable, assuming your need /offer is above board & legit. It is indeed a shame that current USG policies give those following the laws/regs administrative difficulties but allow illegals who smell the USG "incentives" can simply walk across the border.

Using an agent would not block you from doing a online report unless they are using a different address than you are when submitting the report.
You should wait a few days to get the approval of your report. It might take 5 days or more at some offices.
I assume you used the new online reporting site. https://tm47.immigration.go.th/tm47/#/login
You will not be fined unless the report is done more than 7 days after the report date.
So, can one do the online method at late as 7 days after after report date just as they can in person. I do understand one has to be careful & count /include not only the due date (day 1) but also all weekends & holidays in the 7 days.

why are police officers parachuting?
PARU:The Border Patrol Police Parachute Aerial Resupply Unit (BPP PARU or PARU) is the BPP's special forces unit responsible for training and supporting airborne operations, airborne reinforcement, disaster and accident rescue, and supporting special missions under the command of the BPP.Nov 2010. History. Very long article, but for those interested in the countries or subject, very absorbing. Certainly, the author's conclusions /assertions can at times be debated. But the article seems well researched & documented history. Basically, it describes how the OSS/CIA, in order to combat communism, used proxy forces that supported themselves (ie, off the CIA's books) via the drug trade. If McCoy's 1972 "The Politics of Heroin in Southeast Asia" interested you, this serves as a historical postscript.Quote:".....drug proceeds helped supplement the CIA’s efforts to develop its own Asian proxy armies, initially defensive but increasingly offensive.""The OPC and CIA’s initial support of this program, by reestablishing a major drug traffic out of Southeast Asia, helped institutionalize what became a CIA habit of turning to drug-supported off-the-books assets for fighting wars wherever there appeared to be a threat to America’s access to oil and other resources—in Indochina from the 1950s through the 1970s, in Afghanistan and Central America in the 1980s, in Colombia in the 1990s, and again in Afghanistan in 2001.7 The use of drug proxies, at odds with Washington’s official antidrug policies, had to remain secret."Quote:"Willis Bird organized in 1950 a secret committee of leading military and political figures to develop an anti-communist strategy and, more importantly, lobby the United States for increased military assistance. The group, dubbed the Naresuan Committee, included police strongman Phao Sriyanon........Bird and the generals established their committee to bypass the ambassador and . . . work through [Bird’s] old OSS buddies now employed by the CIA [sic, i.e., OPC].1"Quote:"A high-ranking U.S. military officer and a CIA [OPC] official came to Bangkok [in 1950] to review the political situation.113 . . . Through the “[Naresuan] Anti-Communist Committee,” secret negotiations ensued between Phao and the CIA [OPC]. The U.S. representative explained the need for a paramilitary force that could both defend Thai borders and cross over into Thailand’s neighbors— Vietnam, Laos, Burma, Cambodia, and China—for secret missions. . . . The CIA’s new police were to be special: an elite force outside the normal chain of command of both the Thai security bureaucracy and the TNPD [Thai National Police department]. Phao & Phibun agreed to this arrangement because of the increase in armed power that this new national police meant vis-à-vis the armed forces.114"Today in 2022, Thai newspapers are still filled with stories of the failure to effectively reform the police. However, even if it was to a certain extent true when the author wrote it in 2010, I find the following quote a bit too strong for today 2022:Quote:"The police force that exists in Thailand today is for all intents and purposes the same one that was built by Pol. Gen. Phao Sriyanond in the 1950s. . . . It took on paramilitary functions through new special units, including the border police. It ran the drug trade, carried out abductions and killings with impunity, and was used as a political base for Phao and his associates. Successive attempts to reform the police, particularly from the 1970s onwards, have all met with failure despite almost universal acknowledgment that something must be done."For anybody really interested in further research on the subject and past OSS/CIA personalities/connection to Thailand, you may also want to google Bill Lair, Willis Bird, Jim Thompson (all 3 OSS/CIA) as well as Thais Siddhi Savetsila, Plaek PibulSongkram and Phao Sriyanond.-

So, it seems that those who opened a ROTH IRA, and paid tax up-front on the Basis - Principle which was earned while living within & benefitting from US systems / amenities, could now be labeled -- "Sucker".
Ah so. Hmmm?

The many different ways that it is possible to write my address is what concerns me.
I plan to go in person to ask immigration exactly how to write my address for the online report.
But with long line I am not optimistic that they will be both interested and patient enough to take the time to give me an accurate answer (ie, writing my address so that the online system will not reject it).
Has anyone had experience doing so (ie, asking immigration how to write your address so that that the online system will not reject it)?
