Hi,been looking around the forum for the most recent answer but all seem a couple of years old,so on the 5 April went to bkk,to pick up my new passport,have the British embassy letter with it to transfer the stamps,so I just done my 90 report on the 5 March and my yearly extension to be done on the 30 April ,so do I have to go as soon as possible or can I wait till I do my yearly extension. Thanks again for all the advice over the years.

Well, not quite 1:37 but in and out in 10 minutes.
Office was pretty empty at 10am.

The many differences in sight, sound and smell from the old country makes life here a continuing journey of discovery.

 

When the wife enters the driveway I can tell that durian season has begun purely using my olfactory organ. A neighbor more than 40 meters away has an even more sensitive nose and quickly arrives ready to partake in the feasting. 

The pungent aromas of the local farmer burning rubbish often punctuate the evenings smells.

 

I know I've left the nanny state far behind when the lads on their unmufflered bikes start their nightly drag races on nearby roads. The cacophony of the fighting cocks in the nearby farm lulls me off to sleep every night. Such sounds are forbidden where I came from.

As a kid a yearly highlight was Guy Fawkes night when we got to set off skyrockets and use explosives to blow up disliked neighbors letterboxes. OK, a few kids lost the occasional finger, but they shouldn't have banned it for everybody!  Here, every night can be Guy Fawkes night and adults get to play like kids! (Temporarily toned down for the mourning period)

 

I like the fact that you don't have to venture out to observe wildlife. 

Eagles and hawks circle overhead, and flying ants periodically swarm to your lights if you leave the door open at the wrong time. Geckos, frogs and toads come to gorge.

Last year a 4' cobra came into the living room to elicit a riot.  Millipedes march steadfastly around the house searching for who knows what. Occasionally their lessor footed, but fleeter of foot, cousins dash in and get dashed into oblivion. A couple of nights ago I found myself wondering why there was a large dead leaf on the blind in the bathroom, it turned out to be a butterfly heavily in disguise! 

I once found myself entertained by a lost firefly blinking it's way around the darkened bedroom and never quite learning that the overhead fan should be avoided. Large, ugly squirrels run along the power lines and pilfer from fruit trees. Bats swoop on the pool for a drink. Buffalo and egrets wander the nearby fields and a couple of months ago an elephant sauntered past the house.

Colourful, hairy and exotic looking caterpillars abound in the garden, but find themselves all called  "worms"  by the family gardener and put down, in much the same way western men are classified and treated in the home country.

 

I wouldn't go back to the inanity of my former life under any circumstance.

 

wow, I could read your stories all day, what a lovely  post.Thankyou.

Lunch break over went at 1pm got out at 3 20 pm they said sorry but they were very busy

I went last Wednesday  90 day report. 2 hours , yeah not great. 

Some will recall the opportunity for a photo with Bill Clinton at DMK: maybe 15 or 20 years ago. A LifeSize cardboard cutout. They did a booming trade with both Thai and farang. It was quite cheap and good quality. I have my pic with Bill and I should imagine thousands of others as well. Someone complained and they got shut down.

555 Great can we see it,thanks

would appreciate any new info thats been asked for this year i know some of the req , are different for males marrried to Thais but i want to get alll

bases covered Thank you for any info., oooh its soo hot dont need the extra hassle this makes me sweat

hello , my friend came to thailand 1 jan ,visa on arrival ,then went to BNK IMM, and extended other 30 days

then flew to Laos, stayed for a week and flew back in ,can he now go to Samui IMM and extend for another

30 or shall he have to leave the country, Thank you for the help.

I heard the other day that we ..akafarang are an endengered spieces by Thai we should not be hurt or hassled.. make of that as you will

Just go on the day ,at the offices at the pier, no need to go the day before, its very quiet at the moment so you shall def,get seats.

HV = 69/115KV

MV = 22/33KV

LT = 220/400V

So you’ve your own transformer for you villa?

How PEA has localized this damaged is under the road? They have made some cable tests or just a usual Thai guessing? Normally if it is one of this HV/MV supply you must have 3 phases, L1;L2;L3;N and a transformer so which one is damaged or all 3 phases are missing?

How you’ve recognized that your HV-supply is damaged or missing? How big is your villa that you need a HV-supply but I assume it is a MV-supply? What is your average power consumption that you cannot use a LT cable with 400/220V? I’m 1500 meter from the MV-transformer and I’ve just a LT-supply 400V to our house. That is adequate to run 4 air cons, 3 refrigerators, some TVs and some pool pumps and has cost all together 600k.

Wow ,thats a really detailed answer.hope the o.p.apprecieates your time and effort ,well done .

hey checking to see if the Immigration still in Nathon ,coming from kpn.Thanks. going on the 15 sept 2015.

Cant believe it ,must be a joke .............birdman smile no way ,

Thailand lacks organized consumers, labor unions and the majority of the people is kept poor and stupid.

Therefore the door is wide open for companies like CP and a few more to rule out competition and exploit the country.

CP owns the whole chain from animal food to the processed meat in the shop that they also own. It's outrageous that simple processed pork meat products are sold at up to twice the price that the same products cost in Europe.

Thailand was never colonized by a foreign country, they are still colonized and exploited by their own elite!

Spot on ,could not have said it better myself .

If this is only in the "test" stage then why is it shown to the public on the Immigration website? It would be nice if Immigration would clarify whether the online reporting can be used now or if they are still only officially accepting in person and mail-in reports for the time being.

It can be used if you can complete the online registration which apparently works sometimes and sometimes does not. That is what they are fixing, this is great news be grateful.

This is great news ,hope people can do it soon and have some feed back

The ONLY way to keep total control of any population is to make sure they do not ever gain knowledge. Censoring is one such way of a fearful government or power to keep total control. FEAR usually works for a while but in the end it fails. It fails in economic and other ways. At present there seems to be one face stating FOREIGNERS want to come and INVEST in Thailand and on the ground, the actions are those of total determent - making it so HARD and difficult to actually do anything.

This will fail as people leave. maybe not a lot of posters here but business and bigger money interests who will just get fed up and go to where the levels are more even to play.

So are you saying that the Internet Service Providers are striving for total control of the population ?

And good luck to the businesses who pack up and leave Thailand in search of greener pastures. Ask people who have done business in places like China, Vietnam, Cambodia, Indonesia etc. what obstacles they came across. Ask them how level was the playing field.

It's DEAD here on Phuket and reports suggest the rest of the country has in the morgue. Upside is overbuilding's come to a halt and nature is been given a chance to replenish itself. So hoping 'people doing business' ergo, wrecking these countries' natural resources in search of the dwindling buck, are likewise sytmied. And they say the downturn in tourism's a bad thing. And pleeze, no posters with the 'but but how will they feed their families? faux handwringing). Same as they did before's my best guest.

its busy as in koh phangan

Wonder how much money has changed hands to get all the ducks in a row??

Thailand may have improved its corruption-ranking, but as long as you can pay to get away with murder, the country still remains in the cave-age!!

It stinks!!

20 million to the bib

One size set fits all ,never ever fails to Amaze

lol so where are they not even seen 1 copper today ,i live in bantai kp oh must be deep under cover

Words really do fail me .

For all those that supported the removal of a democratically elected government can you now say hand on heart that this is a better option. You are all very quiet now the reality of what was going to happen has sunk in. Dont worry we have all gobbed off, about things we know nothing about. We forgive you

better the devil you know .than the devil you dont

Wow-- elections North Korea style.

 

No one is saving face by pretending these are not appointments -- just appoint them and get it over with.

sad .no words can really say how sorry I feel for this country we live in
