Wow the opposite with my 24 year old daughter. She arrived with an expired Thai passport and ID. The IO told her to use the US passport. She said no, and then she was warned " If I stamp you in on your old passport you can only leave on a new Thai passport, easier to use your US passport". Again she said no and that she was heading to the passport office on Changwattana the same afternoon. She entered, and then first got a new Thai ID in less than an hour. Then joined the queue at Changwattana for her new passport, she was finished in less than an hour again. She had no prior appointment. This was a Friday. Tuesday midday her new passport arrived via EMS.

Just some perspective. You have said once is enough for you on Koh Chang, that is just how I feel about the mainland beaches south of Chumphon. The islands off Chumphon and Surat are great in my eyes, more touristy for sure than 30 years ago but still beautiful. So it seems with beaches, beauty is in the eye of the beholder.

You are not responding. You started this thread to call out a respected poster. Now you are continuing to make a big deal out of nothing. UJ admits his information was not accurate due to the fact that Lao was closed for over two years. Why can't you realize this instead of harping on. I am going to pull out of this now, but I will close by saying I hope you feel better and have been able to release your demons.

Then why did you make it into such a big deal with your finger pointing. Seems to me a vendetta against the one poster who has given the most help on immigration issues. Do you actually believe you are infallible? A small mistake was made sure, but Laos is just coming out of over two years of being closed. I would never ask for help here again if I were you.

Mother Nature?

Ouch, Nonthaburi I am sure would rather not have the floods.

Have you noticed the flooding throughout Bangkok, the north and the northeast?

This TM 6 has ended at least for now and is not required.

I meant some, not all. It was in reply to a poster that remember them as "chocolatey". I was not around at the time, but I have heard they did exist from people that were around at the time. None, nada, nothing. Please don't try to rationalize your post with hearsay. Many of us were around then and know the score.

You just lost all credibility for me. Never were they dipped in opium. This is a proven urban myth. Had my doubts that are now confirmed.

That seems to be his MO. Bangkok Air is a full service carrier. You get 20 kilos + the extra 10 you paid for. Some people like to take more luggage hence they check it. Some people like the convenience of flying to Samui in an hour. Your luggage takes 5 minutes there. Some people want a meal on the plane and a lounge before the flight, both of which are offered by Bangkok Air. Others like you prefer the long way. So answer the guys questions instead of telling him how you do it. We have enough of your travel threads now.

Foodland do a decent pastrami, But your best shot is the gourmet deli in Siam Paragon

My thought is you are going to be surprised as you are ridiculed and have the <deleted> taken out of you because of your archaic thoughts..

Not so much, you must not remember it that well. Peter Seller's character was Chauncey Gardner. Brilliant movie I do agree.

But mono is not nearly as nice as stereo.????

No train to Cambodia, you can only get as far as the border town Aranyaprathet. Laos a much better option for that with the new Chinese high speed train to Vang Vieng and Luang Prabang from Vientiane just across the border from Nong Khai.

How many hotels in England offer a Thai breakfast? I have been to many nice Thai hotels that offer a buffet breakfast included in the room rate . Bacon, beans, and tomatoes and mushrooms are often on offer. Loads of places in both Pattaya and Bangkok serve a full English breakfast.

One more very strange thing about you. No thanks. But just getting out and looking for a place is going in the right direction. For those recommending Air BnB that wont work. Much too expensive for him.

No and it has been explained to you already. You are in the tropics.

I am sorry but you sure do have a lot of trouble doing much of anything. To gain some confidence why not try and solve this problem on your own? https://letmegooglethat.com/?q=short+term+apartment+in+bangkok

How can you live here if you trust nobody?

90 day still at Changwattana, took me about an hour a month ago. Lots of people in the queue, but it moved quickly.

Better change your nick. Not exactly news. Thanks for the heads up though.????

Since the house you own is in your wife's name does she have enough income per month to support the proposed loan? This is much more important than a company I do believe.
