Father Teds pub at about 1,000 Baht for a set lunch, should be good, probably need to book.
There's Coco 51 on the beach, not a pub though, they're charging 1,390 Baht for their buffet.
I'm sure there are others, the higher end hotels are asking their normal higher end prices.

I think it’s time to close this thread now.

@7by7Thanks , yes I’m thinking a few weeks in turkey maybe cheaper and more fun than being apart and also paying for ASQ / another set of flights for Thailand to U.K.
Just hope it doesn’t effect the next application for a visa . I wonder if her staying longer than 90 days would come into consideration for a different type of visa such as fiancé visa .
Turkey is nice and of course your girlfriend wouldn’t need a visa.I’d be a tad nervous doing too many side trips in the current environment, my wife and I were due to stop off in Turkey on a scheduled trip to the UK and the EU recently, in the end we cancelled the lot.
I don’t want you to think that your girlfriend staying longer than planned is going to automatically scupper her chances in the future, but there’s always a risk, does she really need to stay longer than originally planned?
Whatever you decide to do, good luck.
-
I agree with both yourself and 7by7 about you being over cautious, if the documents were translated for the original application, they will still be valid.
-
Might help if we knew where you are located.
I’ve used companies in Thailand who can do translations online, I suspect they may be cheaper.

The visa agent wrote 90 days on the application. Would the current covid situation be a reason for her not to leave.
The UKVI considered her application on the details provided by her, that agent wrote that she intended to stay for 90 days implies that was her instructions, and her application would have been considered on that basis.If she decides to stay longer it wouldn’t cause her any problems in the UK, unless in the highly unlikely event, she crossed paths with Immigration Enforcement, even then there would be no action..
Whilst there aren’t regular embarkation controls when leaving the UK, carriers record passengers leaving the UK and pass the details onto the UKBA, so her departure will be on record.
She would not be breaking Immigration Rules by staying longer than the 90 days she declared in her application, but it may well cause problems in any future by causing doubt of any declared reasons to return.
I doubt very much if playing the “Covid Card” would work, whilst the UKBA granted concessions to those who were genuinely stuck in the early days of the pandemic, with regular flights and fairly easy procedures for Thai nationals, there is no reason not to return, and of course she arrived in the UK when the Covid difficulties were well known.
In short, she wouldn’t break any Immigration Laws by “overstaying” but ECO’s may well look at the credibility of her reasons to return in any future application.

Happy days, “ride for a ride” on my Vespa adorned with headlights that weren’t connected, Bank Holidays in Brighton, Hastings and Margate, though I do now cringe at some of our antics.
Brighton Police randomly arresting people, I do sometimes wonder if my life may have taken a different route if I’d been selected for arrest and subsequent court appearance.

I know a number of people who’ve travelled to countries other than countries they are nationals of, and have purchased tickets without too much difficulty, other than a little research.
You clearly need to ascertain the current position of each country you’re considering visiting, and keep in mind that restrictions, both on entering and in country, could change overnight.
Likewise airlines could change their schedules at the drop of a hat, with a credit note rather than a refund often being offered.
I think many of us want to travel again, I certainly do, but I’m not keen on being stuck somewhere when travel plans are scuppered.
Each to their own.

This very thread is about CM not issuing 60 extensions.
MTT does! Why is that.
And there is the crux of the issue, there seems to be little or no consistency in the interpretation of the centrally published rules, it seems that IO's are allowed to interpret the law as they see fit, that can't be right.
I know of at least one country that publishes guidlines to staff as to how to interpret the law, I realise that that country, and probably others, aren't Thailand.-

My Thai friend was so shocked when he knows about this story that he just called immigration is stupid.
What was their response?

As you're also wishing to take her to the UK she'll also require a visa for the UK, Schengen States normally require that if an applicant is also visiting a third country then that visa is obtained first. I don't know for sure if that applies if you are classed as a resident of Spain, but I think so.
-
You've posted your question in the wrong forum, this forum is for visas and immigration to countries other than Thailand.
As there is already a thread on this subject in the correct forum, New-60-day-tourist-visa, I'll close this.

Myself, my wife, the maid and probably the dog have all taken delivery of packages both local and overseas.
Some needed signatures, many didn't, none needed any form of ID.
I had a package delivered on Monday, left just our side of the gate.

Finally there is something known as a Confirmation Letter or Credit Advice Letter which may do what you want but I don't know enough about that to advise where or how to get it.
You request it from your bank, if you bank with Bangkok Bank you can register your request to receive them and they will automatically send them following receipt of the deposit, other banks may well offer the same service.
-
This has nothing to do with Visas or Immigration, so I'll move it to the travel section.
-
Much of what you've asked was answered in the post you made last month.
-
As you’re asking about satisfying the requirements for extending your stay in Thailand, I’ll move your question to the appropriate forum.
Basically you have to satisfy your Immigration Office that you receive at least 65,000 every month from overseas.
it would help if you could advise us which is your local office, whilst the laws are national, they are interpreted differently at some offices.
I use TransferWise and have to supply a statement detailing twelve months of compliant transfers, credit advices detailing the same transfers, my bank book also showing the same transfers, and a letter from my bank.
