Tourist Visa Stamp Received July 10, 2024
paahlman replied to koolkarl's topic in Thai Visas, Residency, and Work Permits
You can enter Thailand via air up to 6 times per calendar year with a visa exemption [ThaiEmbassy.com]. However, it's important to remember that these entries are at the discretion of the immigration officer. To avoid any issues, make sure you have all the necessary documentation and proof of onward travel -
Lazada i guess, but for sure Aliexpress include the tax in the price. Its prepaid. At least Ali does that for other countries and since tax on all values are now implemented i guess they include Thailand to avoid hassle.

British yoga teacher stranded in Bangkok airport over passport tear
paahlman replied to webfact's topic in Bangkok News
You are correct. The story is murky. If she has a ticket all the way to London that is a "through ticket" she will be in transit all the way. If she has booked the different flights separately herself she would actually need to enter India as stated. But no info on that. -

Abroad or not.. Last time i checked you would get same treatment as locals. Meaning if you steal a truck in USA.. Excpect to get a normal penalty even you are from Mongolia. -
Do people get island fever living on an island?

Yes. Now and then you get island fever.. Its like you want to get out of there suddenly.. However.. The opposite is worse.. Living on the mainland. -
Tourist chaos in Phuket: Foreigner Steals Van and Crashes into another Van
paahlman replied to webfact's topic in Phuket News
Its not uncommon that there are car crashes on patong hill. Stolen or not should not make a difference.. The traffic chaos is created because one can never move the car before the insurance companies(or police) are finished which takes forever sometimes. -
Why do so many people like Pattaya but hate Phuket?

I prefer phuket, but i agree on what you say. Your points are very very valid! -
New E-Gates for Thai Passports Debut at Suvarnabhumi Airport
paahlman replied to webfact's topic in Thailand News
More on the funny side... I remember we fought with the online registration at least 15 years ago. So it took more than 2-3 years.. Its still half working.. Most of the time it works now, but not always still. -
Passport copies for retirement extension?
paahlman replied to proton's topic in Thai Visas, Residency, and Work Permits
That is a good question. I would believe from next year they would do so as the new law requires foreigners have to tax on all money brought into Thailand. Not only income and regardless of if it is from last years earnings or current year. -

Yes.. Its probably so and i guess they sometimes ask and sometimes not. -
Passport copies for retirement extension?
paahlman replied to proton's topic in Thai Visas, Residency, and Work Permits
I had to show a copy of it from the old passport in Phuket about a year ago. Another friend of mine had to show a digital one since he had the non im done electronically.Im sure they do it differently and if i had done it the next day maybe they would not ask. -
Passport copies for retirement extension?
paahlman replied to proton's topic in Thai Visas, Residency, and Work Permits
No. Of course not.. But i have two 10 year old.And it was just a number.. I just know that people could have extended their permit to stay that long and it would be the original from embassy you would have to show every year.. However.. I also thought it was transferred to the new passport and these days its more normal that people have applied the first non immigrant visa 90 days that you need online so this makes a digital copy of that sufficient. -
Any change to TM30 situation?
paahlman replied to steve0101's topic in Thai Visas, Residency, and Work Permits
A friend of mine recently went to phuket immigration for 30 days extension. He was not asked about any TM30. I know that might be strange, but that is what happened. Do not know if that is for extension of stay only because you certainly need it for other things. I am aware this might not be normal. Just wondered of they changed a little. -
Passport copies for retirement extension?
paahlman replied to proton's topic in Thai Visas, Residency, and Work Permits
It is. You are correct. Still they wanted to see original in old passport last time. I had a copy of the original which was sufficient. Well. They have different requirement at different times of the day it seems. -
Cost of having a house built?
paahlman replied to Gottsy's topic in Real Estate, Housing, House and Land Ownership
its is best to ask builder to quote construction including eletric and water and to add labour for installing kitchen , bathrooms, tiling, flooring etc in the quote. Go out and find the materials you want yourself on sale and deliver it to him or her. That way its more transparent and you get what you want. Do not do blue piping since they never glue them together correctly. Insist on ppr piping on at least all water in under preassure. It cost a little more, but nothing almost. Ppr is melted together. Use double pane glasses at least. rule of thumb.. one million should do it without any of the things mentioned.. Only concrete, piping and eletric. Specify exactly eletric points and piping before they start and follow it everyday. Insist on 4 inch for toilets and you avoid mostly most problems. This one mill should cover a standard house of 2 beds two baths - one floor. Roughly. -
Passport copies for retirement extension?
paahlman replied to proton's topic in Thai Visas, Residency, and Work Permits
The most difficult thing is when you do an extension and have had it for some years and every time they demand to see original non immigrant visa stamp. In my case its in an old passport and difficult to find. So no matter how many times you extend you have to always keep a copy of potentionally a 20 year old stamp. This should be in the computer but of course it never is. -

Yes.. And if one can navigate the treaties you save money. But it has to be deducted on the country you are borned in. IF a tax treaty exists. -
euthanise my 16 year old dog
paahlman replied to rickthailand's topic in Plants, Pets & Vets in Thailand
I guess it has to do with religion. Mostly buddhist vets will not do this.. Try to find a muslim or christian vet. Might be different.. However.. .It could be a general Thai thing. Not sure. -
