  1. Dumaguete airport Its easy to find the airport if you spell it correctly.
  2. $185.00USD is the fee for the visa. There is no deposit, if you meet the criteria a visa is issued, if not the fee is gone.
  3. If she has a good job to come back to along with property and some money in the bank it should not be difficult.
  4. An idiot, he broke down when it was found. In the loo of the plane doing a last line before landing. Did not pick the right place to stash it on exiting the bathroom and got done. No, was that was slipped in by an immigration officer. Think about it- seriously.
  5. It seems you have little to no interaction with Thai's unless they are serving you. Telling. All fine on my end with Thai's other than the fact we are all sick of the relentless heat.

    T21 Foodland

    I shopped at the original Foodland on Ploenchit 40 years ago. Foodland is a supermarket. Took La See is the diner inside most. But they are separate. Meet me at Took La Dee is clear, but at my Foodland there are two entrances. Semantics no big deal..

    Perhaps if you named the restaurant as Hauptmann did people including me would have understood what you were saying better.
  8. Surreal experience today. Had booked on-line (can only be done 3-5 weeks ahead and fills up quickly) but arrived ca 2.5 hours before the appointed time. Place was largely deserted with banks closed. Collected a TM.7 with attached forms (where you confirm your address, acknowledge the terrible things that will happen to you if you overstay or work, etc) from the front desk and filled in the forms. Trip to one of the copy shops downstairs. Decided to take a gamble and went to the que desk, showed my on-line appointment. A very friendly lady said no need to wait 2h, gave me a que number and send me to counter L-27 for the 'document check'. Just as last year this took only about a minute, they just seem to check if the main items are there and that you have filled in everything. Wrote a counter number on my TM.7 (not the one for the on-line appointment) and there I was helped immediately by a rather cheerfull IO. Here it took only 15-20 mins to check the papers, make 500 or so signatures , take a pic and pay the fee. After another 10 min got my passport back with the signed extension. From arriving at the que desk to walking out took exactly 30 min but obviously this was a rather unusual day. Handed in were: -TM.7 (application form) with one pic. -Passport and copies of relevant pages -Bank letter (one day old, they confirmed it can be up to 7 calender days old but you need to update your passbook at the day of application) -Bankbook and copies of front page and transactions going back 13 months or so. -Hand drawn map of apartment location (yes they kept this and had me sign it) -Copy of last 90-day report (TM.47) -1,900 B Now usually the bankletter came with an additional balance sheet for the previous 3 months but this time it only covered the past month. The IO outlined the transactions over the previous 3 months in red on the copy of my bankbook. Note that depending on your circumstances (maybe hiring from a private landlord, having a large number of transactions in your bankbook which are sometimes 'pooled' , etc..) they may ask for additional papers.
  9. Calm down, no worries, you dont need two threads. They have become redundant and are not used anymore. Is a Thailand arrival card still required in 2024? The TM6 form is the arrival/departure card, which foreigners are required fill out with their passport information and other personal and travel information when entering or leaving Thailand. The form was permanently cancelled for foreign travellers arriving by air since July 2022.Apr 14, 2567 BE
  10. KLA, I think you can see by the nick where I grew up. Have not been back in 5 years due to covid and work schedules. Have twins one in LA and one in SF. The LA daughter is working for Space X and we are looking forward to touring the Hawthorn facility. The SF daughter has a media consultancy. Have not seen either since they started this. Also I have a 50 year college reunion up in Crescent City. Looking forward to driving the whole of California and southern Oregon on the coast. Here the wife and I are like you often taken 3 day to 10 day domestic road trips around Thailand.
  11. I have always gone to T-Mobile but they have changed to an online company called Ultra. I have this package waiting at my daughters house in SF, the best I could find. $39.99 for 15GB and a month. https://www.ultramobile.com/product/15gb-prepaid-plan/?attribute_months=1-month-plan
  12. lonely old man looking for company, seems males are fine.
  13. Proof reading is important. 32 degrees C is quite warm, mine not a Samsung is much cooler. I hope its a typo. ☺️
  14. And heroin was available over the counter. As was cocaine. There was a lot of things happening less than 50 years ago. Whats your point Not in the 70's. I was here, not a chance. Actually very funny. Two wild and crazy guys..
  15. So since you have been here you have opened another account? Simply the bank sees it as, if you transfer all your money out you have no account. You seem to be well off. Just balance your funds you have incurred no loss.
  16. Big joke is not and has never been clean. Cultivated an image in the media that helped him, hated in both the police and immigration for a variety of reasons.
  17. First off that seems quite cheap to me with the land area being 8 Rai. Guess I have been in BKK too long as it seems just the land should be worth that. What is the house like? Bedrooms, baths, furnishings?
  18. The wrong information, especially with Bangkok traffic
  19. So go 40 kilometers the wrong direction. Then begin your journey?
  20. Just so you know the scum in Phuket are not from Phuket.
