In situations like this, apply some common sense.  People who earn 200 or 300 baht/day don't spend a day's pay to ride a tuktuk. Of course there is a bus.

Having done it once, your estimate is about right.

800 litres/day does not sound like very much, for a hospital.

What you are not taking account of is that this TM30 nonsense enforcement is new - that is why it has not been an issue for you, or most of use, until very recently.  If it continues as now it is likely to be a bane for anyone doing any travel at all and a total mess for immigration to keep track of.  

On the other hand, Immigration may not perceive an increase in their workload,due to the number of resident foreigners who will be departing Thailand, and not returning.

My first one took four months. My last one took four days. Those in between were in between. It depends mostly on the knowledge, organizational ability and priority given by your personnel officer.

If for use in your home country, have it done at your Embassy.  If for use in Thailand, ask your counterparty what is normal and acceptable. "Notary Publics" are almost unknown in Thailand. A few law firms are now doing this for farang who either think it is necessary and/or find it cheaper than having it done at their Embassy.

My dictionary doesn't contain "tosser", but it does have "idiot". If it walks like a duck, swims like a duck, and quacks like a duck....

89, 88, 87,...

While I have no objection to new categories for anything, this one seems unnecessary. I think older retired males dominate almost every existing category.

If you have heard it face to face from an IO, it sounds right to me.

plaid shirt. I know what that means in Hua Hin.

I don't. Can you enlighten me ?

While I have never been there, if you have white skin, you won't need to find a tuk-tuk, or motorcycle taxi, they will find you. For a rural station such as that,clarify that the train you have selected will stop there, and the same for your return (or onward) trip.

It was also plagued by chronic technical problems, to the point that I gave up on it long ago.

Both first and last name are romanizations of Thai names.

Another way to update the balance in a fixed-term acct. is to deposit B 1000, which I think is the reguired minimum deposit at most Thai banks. And, I suppose you could also withdraw B 1000, as long as your remaining balance would still be above the minimum required by Immigration.

You can work for two employers at the same time.  But it is all done on one W.P. Your first employer has to approve of you working for the second employer.

- in the past, I have had three bank accounts listed in one letter. I don't think Immigration cares if you will provide one letter or two

- with regard to fixed-term deposits, I have never been asked to show activity on the day. Immigration does though normally require that your bank letter be no older than one business day prior. I think some banks can do a "forced update" on fixed deposits, though in my case, a current letter stating that the balance stated in the bank book remains on deposit has always been accepted.

Are you in Meuang Buriram ? If yes, from where does your water originate?

I have never heard of them. Do they have a presence on the ground in Thailand ? If they do, threaten to take them to the police if they do not solve the problem within one business day. Put your statement in print, and address it to the highest ranking person possible.  I did that once with one of the other payment services. The logjam was removed within an hour or two.

There have been recent reports on here of some Immigration offices now requiring ATM 30 following a return home from domestic travel. It would be very nice if we could get A Pinned Topic on this TM 30 matter.

While I have no experience with the BOI, I have been here a long time. I have never heard of a "BOI agent". I think what you need is a lawyer. Google "English-speaking lawyers in Bangkok". You will probably find a list, and probably be bombarded with advertising too.

Is this the law, or your opinion? (Just asking.)

It's my opinion, for whatever it may be worth !

I think it is an old Fiat, though I can't be any more specific than that.
