Meanwhile I THINK I have done a successful online TM30, my bank book will have almost six months of entries with foreign deposits, and I even have Thai medical insurace! I think I'm good to go at the moment - next,find out which forms to fill out, got some passport photoes and try again. Thanks again for your help and offer.

Thanks for the offer which I will take you up on in a few weeks time.

MUCH too soon but I'm a "sooner rather than later" type of person - better than to turn up three days before it expires and told I'm too late. Now to get all the forms and info in the posts above and be pitch-perfect in 40 days time.

Thank you for your helpful contribution which has added signiificant value to this discussion.

Daily progress reports! Well, monthly at least

thanks for the infos

First time EVER I have got a visa (always came on non-exempt) and want to apply for reitrement extension - arrived last Saturday and have 90 days. Went to CM Airpiort immigration office today after making an appointment online and the whole thing was farcical. Told to come back in 40+ days time as I am "too early" - bring a completed form (which one?) and go to "information" and then wait, it seems.

I was dragfwed ito Amway by a supposed friend and soon got sickened of all the "motivation" stuiff and the fact the "business" seemed to rotate round selling tapes and books for "self-improvement" - the products themselves, well we sold some makeup to somebody and they came out in a rash - supposedly "Cliniuque" property. Left as I soom i was twigged on.

I wouldn't describe myself as that but am struggling to find a suitable description of your post that is within forum rules. "Pot calling the kettle black" springs to mind - also "takes one to know one". I can think of a few more.

We ALLknow who they are.

I often click on a topic from the newletter and turns it to be the usual trash from people on my ignore list. Please filter these so they don't appear in my feed.

Nah, too up market - we used a kitchen-towel roll tube

Darwin Award winner? Years ago in a factory in China we set up an Internet connection. Came in one morning and everything was down - someone had stolen all the copper wiring into the building.

Yeah I get that all the time. I thought it was a feature. To be brutally honest the articles aren't worth that much losing sleep over

My maternal grandfather was a Mason (operating-level Thetan I think ) can I get a pass-through? I'll just sit at the back and won't get in anyones way(Monty Python reference)

I'm hoping my Garmin Varia radar system will give me enough warning to get out of the way

It's a couple of hundred baht - I'm not losing sleep over it.

Most members of this forum are probably not in that group.

Titlle says it all I think

I would recommend renting a CITY (not mountain) bike to ptter around the Old town. I wouldn't recommend going on long-distance rides until you grow eyes in the back of your head : - or invest in a Garmin Varia radar set that displays stuff coming up behind you

The secret police technique is - call the phone and then listen for its' distinctive ring tone. Works for me everytime.

With apologies to Gilbert & Sullivan "I've got a little list - they'll never be missed"

Get a VAT receipt when you buy the camera. I imagine a back-street place doesn't do it but the "higher-end" should. THEN, when you go through immigration there should be a place to reclaim it (I think in BKK it is outside immigration but this was a long time ago). It was sign-posted VAT Refubd. Take the article and the receipt and claim your refund there. In CNX it is (or was) in the international departure lounge. Google it - like I did - look for sign in the shop saying VAT refund for Tourists.

Is there a link to this rule? Asking for a friend 🙂

Yeah, pass a law saying the air should be clean. That'll work
