I haven't seen the Go Pro HD Hero Motorsport version on ebay in Oz. It looks good.

This website is in Thailand and will ship the cameras for 100 baht

I guess 46 million baht is worth fighting for..... not sure why there are so many people helping to get it back......

By the way, I am not in a position to take sides, and I am in a polka dot pink and black shirt this evening...... not yellow or red

You can contact me by PM and I can supply you with SUPs no problem......... high quality and shapes

Let the games begin!!

and other comments like 'bring it on'

Obviously you don't live in Thailand, or have been through the 711, bird flu, tsunami, and other events that make not only the farangs but all Thai's suffer.............. These have been very bad times..... I don't think to bring it on is a good way to view this, especially if you work in an industry that relys on tourists coming to Thailand.... A huge part of Thailand does though...

This news is ............ I hope an end to things, not the beginning of more to come for all of us who live in Thailand, I hope we can go forward

Here is the outcome of my case.

Went to Penang immigration with necesary documents and the 2 Thai bank books which have a total of 400k combined.

They gave me a 1 year NON 'O' multiple entry visa.

Finally a win!

Go for it - let us know how you get on.

A few things that stopped me from getting a visa.

1. the company I work for cancelled my work permit electronically and have no cancellation slip.

2. I've had 400k in the bank for more than 2 months but because I moved it from one account to another they would not except it.

3. I am already overstay by 2 weeks.

Because of these things the only option they gave me was to leave the country.

Off for a mini bus ride tomorow to get my NON O in Penang.

Thanks for your advice ....it was definitely worth a try...

You will not be thrown in jail!

OK now feeling much better

Thanks again for your advice

Oh ok.... yes I was worried about the jail thing.... I have had NON B visas for years and havent really had to deal with immigration... really wasnt sure what to do, but now I do....thanks

At the end of the extension can I apply for a NON O visa at the immigration office or do I need to leave the country?

If you can explain what happened to an officer who just won the lottery there is a chance.

Actually you should give it a try - they have been quite understanding in such situations lately (although this is pushing the boundaries a bit). If not you will have to exit and obtain a non immigrant O visa/extend 60 days later

OK thanks for that......I think its safer to exit and start again...

Thanks for your help, it was really useful

If you are on Non-B visa you can stay in the country until your visa expires. You only have to leave the country immediately (or obtain 7 day extension) if you lose your job and you are on extension of stay.

I am on a 1 year extension of stay, because I am already 15 days over the date of cancelation, will getting an extension still be an option?

Hi

I have finished working for a company and have a 1 year NON B visa which expires in October. The company cancelled my work permit 2 weeks ago without telling me, as I was using up my annual leave.

I was hoping to change it to a NON O visa at the immigration office, as I have a Thai wife and have 400k in the bank.

What are my options now as the window of 7 days after cancelling a work permit has gone?

Tourist visa waiting for the 400k to be in my account for 2 months?

Now I am on overstay even though my visa says October?

Thanks and appreciate your feedback
