Thank you both of you very much for very quick respond.  I logically thought that for 1 year visa,  it should be 1 year from June 20,2016 to June 19, 017.  But after looking at the fine print what was visa written, it said " enter before 19 June 2017! That was shocking me!  Since I've planed all the flight, hotel and what to do on the 19!   You know how they have their way of rephrasing thing and we caught in the middle.

thank you very much.

Hi, I have an urgence question about my one year O multi visa; I just notice that the visa written "visa issue date 20 June 2016" and "enter before 19 June 2017" Is that mean my last day to use visa to get my 3 months last stamp entry is the 18 June ? Or the 19 June?   

Thank you for all inputs informations. 

Thank you Ubonjoe for the informations.  So must be Non-oa! to get 2 years.

Hi Ubonjoe,  sorry for out of topic here, you wrote " It is possible to get almost 2 years of total stay from the visa by doing an entry just before the visa expires."  How you can have almost 2 year.  If my Non-o visa is multiple entry 1 year.  after each entry of 3 months each till almost the end of visa validity(expires).  I used the last 3 months at the end of visa validity. so it will give me 15 months in total.  How can I make it to be almost 2 year?   Can you please clarify and thank you in advance.

Hi,

1.I like to ask how US expats do to be exempt from Jury duty since they no longer physically live in us but still get call for jury duty?  

2. They asked me to a copy of my id in Thailand but Thailand never issued any id to foreigners with non-o visa but only stamp for 3 months on passport!  How to get the id?

thank you 

That's beautiful house.   Congratulation! love it!

He may think those money are growing from the money tree are free to take?   Just an innocent guy?

P.s. Make sure bring good tied shoes and long pant with you.  Many leeches there.

Well...many things to do there.  After 7-10 hours of walking up the hills by passing many stop of foods and drinks vendors (no need to bring any foods or drinks with you) if you still have energy to walk around the top plateau to see many of pines trees, views and plaine plateau fields.  You can rent bicycle to go around the plateau, go see foods vendors stores(again no need to bring any foods or drinks up there) but alcohols I am not sure if they allow?  There are several bungalows to stay over night or renting the tent to stay.  And in early morning wake up to see sunrise at the beautiful view point with the ranger guide.  And then walking down another 6-8 hours.  You can then go to Loei or Chiang Kan for over night.  Enjoy your stay at Phu Kradueng.

In Nice, if you caught on metro that you do not have ticket, you will be fine and pay in spot is one price but to pay later they will tell you the fine will be double! No one challenge!

Yesterday, I ran out of gas on motorbike on the way to Sunday market which about 8 km from my home.  I did not bring the key for my bik's gas tank (my bike needs no key to start!) so I did hitchi the car passed by back home.  He stopped and I asked him to drop me at the soi.. so he did.  On the way he stopped pick up some bags of chili and brought 3 bottle of cokes and handed me one!  When we got to the front of soi.. he stopped and i went to his window to thanks.  He asked me how far from the soi... to my home?  I said another 2 km.  He said then hopped back so he will take me to my home!  Thank you for being so kind!

Equal or greater than 12 inch long and greater than 1 hp power chainsaw is illegal and need permit to use in Thailand!

Thank you for information.  My wife does not have income and I am retired with regular incomes. For 2 years I went back to Us to file my income taxes and cost for accounting to file for me is $400 for me and my wife file joint.  Of course my wife visites her parent and relative there to offset the cost of airfare!

thank you again

Does foreign address or in us address will make different on return or any complication on return?

Hi, those online taxes are reliable? And simple to use?  How those companies charge the fee to use their software?  do they have customer service if we have questions?  

Thank you

Trust me, I am so Thai but still get ripped of by Thai! We can call capitalist unregulated since there are no enforcing in marking the prices on merchants we brought! So try with 7/11, tessco they mark all their prices on their merchants! And many Thai do not has senses of prices what they buy(no informations, did not do a research etc.) they also got rip off.

I did not say we must accept it but this can happen.

Thank you and very appreciate every one for all the answers ????. So I will first get one year mult base on marriage from Thai consulate outside Thailand ( yes, will visit neighbors countries for 2-3 days) every 3 months tills validate of visa expire to extend to max. And then will get retirement visa on extension from immigration office.

Than you.

Ubonjoe "Best to get a single entry non-o visa and apply for a one year extension based upon marriage at immigration if you can show 400k baht in a Thai bank for 2 months or 40k baht income.".

The benefit of doing this(get extension based upon marriage at immigration in Thailand, considered that I have 400k) is I do not need to get out from the country to extend 3 months? I just need to report at immigration office every 3 months? But how is it easy to deal with immigration office in Thailand? Paper work complication? Need many documents such as residential rental agreement and foreigner rental signed by the landlord? Bank statement? Translate my marriage certificate into Thai? etc

But for multi o visa from consulate outside Thailand, we need to go to the border every 3 months to extend our visa but we do not need to deal with paper work at immigration office but only at the border. And border run is just thinking of taking a week end of to Myamar, vietnam, Laos, or Malaysia.

Sorry for being too cautions so I do not want to fly back home to get another visa.

Thank you very much everyone and specially Ubonjoe, I read many of your answers from the posts. There are very helpful.

Hi, I wonder if it will be benefit to get o visa multiple entry from state base on married to thai citizen before come to Thailand will be better than just get single entry and get extensions at immigration in Thailand to 1 year extension? Which one will be easier and not complicate during stay?

Thank you in advance

Thank you Ubonjoe, very appreciate for all your responds.??

Thank you very much for the information. In Ubon, can we do extension there? Do they have Imm.office there or Mukdahan?

Hi if anyone please clearify for me if multiple entry marriage visa when 3 months extention comes, do I need to go out of Thailand to extend it or just go to report on line or just go to Imm. office to report? And do I need to get out of Thailand to extend my visa after 90 days for retirement visa?

Thank you very much in advance.

Hi, I know how you feel because I have the same situation but worse, my neighbor burn wood to make the coals for sell every week and it smokes like hell. The process take 3-4 nights which he will open the coal ovens during the night and you will wake up if it became very strong smell. I talked to him, he doesn't care, I talked to head of the village! He went to talk to the guy but Can not stop the guy. Put complain to village's health department counsel, they came to tell him to put up 5 feet chimney but does not work. Still stink, they came back but the guy did not open the door for them so one year and half later, he still does it. I gave up and close the window the night he burns. We do not live here all the time so we kind of let it go.

We talked to many people in this situation, they can not do anything! The law enforcers do not want to involve (why we have them!) so only thing to do recommend by village health department was we must after him with lawsuite but since we are not here all the time we did not process.
