Good luck attending Phuket Immi in a wheelchair - it's upstairs.

I'll have to face this next extension.

^^^

That's a great site for continually upgraded visa extensions etc.

Although, each Immi centre can still vary their own requirements.

That was a file not a website.

The file contains the order directing all immigration offices to allow 6 month old income letters. There already has been a case where a member showed a print out of the order to an immigration officer that said it had to be within 30 days and the officer agreed to the 6 months.

A file from the Pattaya City Expats Club website ...

You wrote site.

Did you open the file to notice that if contains the immigration order in Thai.

Yes - I accessed it from the PCEC site last year and copied it, including the Thai Police Order - I didn't have to use it

So, a lawyer, entertains actions of theft. A farang in Thailand.!

<deleted> - are you having defacto hormonal swings.?

The Deputy Police Chief has been promoted to boss.

Another General has been appointed head of DSI

A third General has been appointed Permanent Secretary of Defense,.

It is reported here on both radio and television that the Royal Family have left Thailand and are now in London. Is there any truth in this report..

The Crown Prince is in the UK - check the UK press for photos.

If the banged up Aussie wants to see a dinky-di Consular assistant he'll just have to wait until the MIB transport him to the Bangkok Hilton.

Good choice by a drunken, jingoistic mysogynist.

There are some qualified Aussies here - none I know would touch the job with a barge pole.

I hope Larry is well and truly " on the relax ".

Onyah Michelle - now I wont have to travel to Bangkok in a wheelchair for my pension certification (I hope!).

Cure for boredom - get a TGF/partner/wife and study understanding their thought processes.

Cure for Alzheimer's - shower with, rinse and repeat as above.

It's martial law - not martial rule (yet).

The Army haven't taken over the (caretaker & partial) government - sure, they may be ignoring them.

Yes - they have taken over authority for the civil service who must be squirming as they'll actually have to do something.

Yes - they've taken over authority for the police "force" who will be hastily learning what is in their job description

I thought these days for a chanote title the ground markers were co-ordinated to the satellite photos.

Thanks for a very informative thread.

I get carried from the plane door to the VIP Immi desk (no virgins bathed in breast milk and sprinkled with rose petals - damnit) for 120 baht.

Just order a wheelchair - last off, first through.

BTW - I hope the poster BOKOsummit who is getting 16 years of ED visas instead for the same Baht uses at least a few years in an English programme.

You may be well intentioned but you are very naive Thai-wise.

By the time you get here everything that is not in his Thai partner's name (excepting perhaps a reefer jacket and a faded tie or two) will be in the possession of his partner in her house on her land.

No UK authority will wrest back any Thai based assets.

As for any UK assets(?) that is the executors' duty - not yours.

Save your fares - unless you are interested in ...

The Canadian inferiority complex is well known - they hate the fact they are ersatz Americans.

But when I lived there I found them well balanced about it - a chip on both shoulders.

I just hated they thought my accent was Irish.

If one doesn't have a sense of humour - don't live in LOS - both of you.

I found it interesting the OP alluding to the sensivity of Americans to criticism back home in the USofA.

Happens here and on many local (Thai) forums.

In the translated document it is made quite clear that this policy change refers to same day In/Outs at land borders by those without a Visa.

Will Thai Immi create a new category for " Border boarders "?

Thailand, no matter what colour shirt the ruling (pro tem) Party wears, will never accept regional workers streaming across its borders with their better English, logical reasoning skills, ability to admit mistakes and learn from them, to take Thais' jobs.

ASEAN? - N.I.M.B.Y.

Just wait for a "Language Test" ...

There's not much water left in the tanker lakes for Patong.

In the top end of Kamala we have been going weeks at a time without Orbortor water.

Gotta buy a tank load tomorrow.

That's fine - but there is no set list of documents required at Immi - only minimum requirements - then "up to them".

It has changed every time I've gone for the last 5 annual extensions.

The next one - proof of health insurance is my guess.

It's posts like the OP that has Thai Immi officers now asking for corroborating evidence to your affadivit - the sworn statement is your testimony and if required to be proven needs to be done by you - not the Embassy/Consulate witness.

Be aware that an Embassy or a Consulate, once inside, you are legally liable to that country's laws.

Swearing a false affadivit before a Federal official under U.S. law is liable for a penalty up to 10 years imprisonment.

The last two annual extensions I have been asked for corroborating bank and pension statements at Phuket Immigration.

 I said to myself the moment she asked for it my faith in her would waiver.     So I want to test her with a suggestion that was made here.............

I say to her " sure I'll give the 30k but we'll use it to hire the best lawyers in Bangkok and we'll do a contested divorce, that way your husband you no longer love will be out of pocket mak mar and you'll still achieve your freedom"           If she says it a bad idea well then I know its time to call her bluff.

 

 I will put this suggestion to her tonight on Skype, if anyone has a good way to word it please feel free to contribute.

Or you could not mention the 30k at all- just tell her you've hired good Thai lawyers ("the best!") who'll be able to get her out of the marriage without handing over any money and see how she reacts. If she's delighted then you can relax and rest easy, and know that the people who were telling you it was a scam were well-meaning but wrong. 

 

Of course then you will have hire top Thai lawyers, but at least you'll know where the money's going...

 

And then the lawyers will recommend you pay the husband his million baht (plus their fees) and you'll be back at "minus square one" for probably the same result.

 

It means that you have a wife but not a real relationship.

Go ahead and pay her but give her a rent bill for living in your home, and dont share your food with her.

Sorry to say but you're wrong.

Most likely she have been told by her instructor to charge everyone for massage.

As it is a profession, she "has" to charge something, but the instructor left out she could do her husband without charge or the instructor assumes she is with him for the money so he just gave her the initiative to charge.

I'm very sure there were no explanation to why, or just a blatant lie from the instructor.

Some people here in Thailand also belive when doing massage on someone, you actually massage out sickness like, cancer, different kind of deceases, skin problems and even liver and kidney problems.

Thus exposing the masseuse to those sicknesses.

Whata ya do in a country like this. I haven't made my wife to stop believing in stupidity, so why expect any farrang to be able to do that.

My wife still believes she can dream about lucky numbers or see numbers on a frog.

Apart from that, she is quite educated and middle class like.

Yes you are right, generally Thais are as dumb as a brick.

Nah - dumb like a fox.
