Sand culture? It is the stuff around the sand that may make it different. 

My point exactly. Thanks.

Then, she applied for a job as a beauty queen. During that time, amid the COVID-19 pandemic, her workplace, a golf course,

So does that mean caddies are synonymous with beauty queens?  Rather misleading headline to go along with a rather suspect story.

Better you do a tour of all the islands….Tahiti, Bora Bora, Moorea and Papeete.

You have 4 islands there, should be 3. Papeete is the capital city and located on the island of Tahiti.

Sand is sand. All boring after 3 days. Just go to Ban Krut or Ao Manao. Easy, cheap. 

Thats funny, but so untrue. Weather, topography and culture is not at all the same.

All said its one of the most expensive places I have visited. 

Both mother and father need to be present for the passport application as far as I know

They don't check stamps on the old passport and I doubt they check immigration computer to see when you last left\entered the country using the Thai passport. That said, even if they do, I'm sure it can be solved.

Last post, you are wrong. Its all hooked up through biometrics. It does not matter what you are sure of mate.

She can simply go and apply for a new Thai passport. Even if by entering on a foreign passport it's a problem, to fix the problem will be much cheaper than 5k\month she's paying to immigration at the moment according to the op - a very strange story by itself...

I have 25 year old twin daughters  who are dual citizens who come and go often with their work. Getting a new passport will not solve the problem she has now. She entered on the British passport. Cant enter on one and leave on the other. She has to rectify her situation if she ever wants to travel internationally again.

She needs to exit Thailand using her british passport and then reenter using her Thai passport.

Sorry mate if you read the thread its expired. She needs to do some fast talking with a friendly immigration office. Which in her case will be difficult as evidenced by the fact she entered on her British passport to her own country.

Why? What's the logic?

There is no logic. Not thought out at all, hence my comment in my first post. Now both she and the IO she was dealing with have a lot of questions to answer. Plus 20,000 baht not to the IO. Gonna be a lot of tears.

There is something not quite right here.

Sounds to me like wrong moves from the moment she entered. By paying a bribe its obvious she knew she was wrong. Interesting to see how it plays out. At least she wont be deported and banned from entering. Sorry but not the sharpest tool in the shed.

But then one would have to ask, are they put on manually or with automated equipment?

 

If manually, how many pieces can the average employee do and what is the average wage?

 

If done with automated equipment then how much was that capital expense as well as the required space and repairs/maintenance?

 

Whatever the added costs, is it necessary?

Apples intrigue you? Not enough money in that. I suggest you go after the Petrol sellers. PTT, and Shell would be interesting to check out. You do seem to have the time and will.

So what where all my bank deposit, tabien baan copies for ???

 

Did you have those documents prepared along with an updated bank statement, along with the documentation letter? Its not clear from your post to me.

With the agent I used 2 months ago there was no need to watch that. I only needed residence certificate and medical check. The only testing was the 4 physical reaction tests. You do spend 15 minutes watching something as you wait your turn to do the physical checks. The agent was not expensive as well. Money well spent. Only about an hour at the DLT.

As Thai society is built on a charade showing intent to renounce is obviously one of those sharades that I must go through. 

And this is what you are seeking? Damn dude.

Patana have a waiting list, so not sure if they will al offer admission

Patana is the exception to the rule. The only International school here with more international students than Thai. You do have to test and do well. Plus you need to have some English speaking ability even as a 3 or 6 year old.

He is Thai and the passport is new. How would they know or care if he has ever even been out of the country?

Why ask when you know the answer?????

He would need to re-enter on his Thai passport. Simply put he can't exit on a passport he did not enter on.
