I dont think you know what the term Zero Dollar tours means. It means............. As its name suggests, zero-dollar tourism refers to packaged tours which are much less expensive than independent travel with one catch: tourists are taken on many shopping trips and are often required to buy overpriced products. Tour guides and drivers get a kickback from these shopping excursions, offsetting the loss on the tour’s initial cost. In most cases, these shops are Chinese-owned and the money tourists spend is diverted back to China. With more shops utilising mobile payments through WeChat Pay and Alipay, the payments don’t even have to be converted into local currency, avoiding foreign exchange fees that would normally go to local money changers.

Been saying rain for 2 weeks. Few drops here and there in the Central region. Sick of the heat, 30+ years here and this is the longest heat wave I can recall

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.

Pardon me, but WTF? Red Bull guy ran over a cop on a motorcycle, then dragged him down Sukhumvit road for hundreds of meters killing him. Then fled the scene, then fled the country and you have the gumption to say someone ruined his life. Damn dude about as cold and heartless as you can get. ????

Good luck, dont see many people going west coast USA to BKK via Europe. Taking the long way. Did you get such a good deal you took the long way here?

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.

My kid was coming for 3 weeks. On a US passport she could arrive Visa exempt. She chose not to do so, but the option was there as offered by the Thai IO.

Agreed mate. I only posted it up in response to a post saying something quite different above mine.

She came in on the expired passport. The IO was advising her to use the US to both enter and leave on. She declined. As I said less than a week later she had the new Thai passport.

The reason the cannibis market is messed up is the government you want to regulate the issue. There are no rules, no nothing as Anutin rushed too much to get it approved. You want facts, you know little to nothing of the Thai weed market. Fact.

No more reading this thread now, as you dont have a clue. What the heck are you on about?????

Hmmm... When my daughter came in September she had a valid US and an expired Thai passport. She told the IO she wanted to enter on the expired passport, they said better on the US as you have to leave on the same passport. She explained her parents were at the airport and the first stop was the passport agency on CW. So entered on the old expired Thai passport and had a new one in 5 days to exit on. She told me "IO said if I enter on one passport and I must exit on the same." Yes it was new but biometrically tied to her old one.

We live in different worlds. Bangkapi is a major district of Bangkok. I dont make a distinction of where a foreigner might want to live. But I have been here long enough to have a nice detached house and a car. I never knew Bangkapi had no modern public transportation to it, so thanks for that.

You dont know Bangkok well do you? A well known district of Bangkok.????

How did they sweep Bangkok and win in almost every province in Thailand without that? Why are Taksin and Phua Thai saying they need to modernize their communications to match MF? Just sayin.

Times have changed mate, that's not going to happen. But there is a solution. From your style it seems to me you like to see your name up in print. Perhaps a can of spray paint, and you can tag Gamma Gobulin to your hearts content. ????

The 4/20 high school. I was a Waldo.

He entered 6 months ago.???? His last time to exit is the key. Think about it.

1970 High school cheer in football and basketball. To a referee on a bad call. " Sticks and stems we got burned".

None of this matters. You did not understand your visa. It had to be used the last time by May 11. So on May 12 it expired. If you had taken advantage of your last entry you as has been said you would have two more months, and then could apply for your 30 day extension for 1900B. Its simple but sad in your case. If you take the time to scroll back and read you have been told this by numerous posters. Nobody is trying to confuse you. Only educate you. Jai yen yen.

seems to me it was multiple entry valid for 6 months. If he had left on the 11th he would be fine and gotten the last two month entry. But it expired. My two cents worth anyway.

With insurance covering it I would recommend Dr. Pisit Naprasert at Bangkok hospital. I have had two done by him and both very smooth and easy. Very professional service and excellent English. Good consultation and explanation both before and after the procedure. Very up to date equipment and attentive staff.

No work permit will be issued on a tourist visa. You have a legit job, simply switch to a working visa, that the new company should arrange along with the work permit. You would have no reason to tie up your funds again. Then when the time comes, re-apply for the retirement visa.

As I posted yesterday being done as I type via social media. Line and Twitter in particular, Once the details have been gathered photos and text will be shared on FB and Instagram. These senators have absolutely no idea of the power of social media today.
