I've been to NST prison, and it's not nice!

I thought that was the whole idea, prison isn't supposed to be nice!

Is there any need for these images? Unless they're pertinent to the story leave them out.

Well it's not for the lifestyle!

I doubt she would risk being sent to Rwanda while her asylum application is considered.

She could claim £3,000 if she volunteered for a holiday in Rwanda.

I am not a moron who thinks all Muslims are the same. 

Unfortunately there's no shortage on Asean Now.

I'm only just round the corner from immigration, so if they need to hit a quota I'm an easy win.

I only got one home visit (on retirement extensions)

I think it's more an issue with extension based on marriage, they want to be sure you're really married and living together.

Not at all ! So far there have been  only accusations against Surachate.  It will take real proof for myself and many others to believe otherwise. He has certainly knowledge and proof of a lot of things concerning the RTP and government. I’m quite sure that this proof is in safe hands probably outside Thailand.  One thing he is not, and that’s stupid .

Ah yes, I've often seen him on Jomtien beach, Phuket!

It's the geographically challenged Snoop1130

Thai (Isan) 'pan pipes' are circular and called a 'wot', the ones in the OP look Peruvian.

Home visit this morning, that's 4 times out of 5 extensions. Phoned half an hour in advance, said they required a witness this time with a copy of their ID. Easy enough to do but something new, previously they've been happy with a couple of signatures and a photo of neighbours. Arrived on time and all done in ten minutes. 

Yeah a hattrick!

87 million is that using Thai Math ?

  40.00 million Bank deposits----- from whom/where?

+65.00    "       investment

+10.00     "      real estate-------    only one house?

+13.60     "      luxury cars--was import duty paid or did that not apply to DPM

Total = 129.1    Million Baht  just 42.1 million out Mia Pen- lie

 

Investments 6.53 million according to the article not 65 million.

87 million and single, no wonder he's smiling!

But, the other hassle, and would be a huge hassle is getting any new device authenticated for the Banking apps etc (and all other Apps).

It's actually not too bad. My wife had to go through the process recently after losing her phone. AIS killed the existing SIM and gave her a new one, same phone number, so armed with another phone and the new SIM she was able to set up her bank apps easily enough. I think a different story with a new phone number.

The IO gave you incorrect information.
There are already two reports of returning within the current extension date, whilst having an under consideration stamp.

I can well imagine the conversation at immigration...

"You don't have a valid re-entry stamp"

     - I do, look there it is

"No, that's no good"

     - But Liquorice on AseanNow said it was valid!

"Liquorice said, well in that case sir I must be wrong"

stamp, stamp

"There you go sir, have a nice day"

Should I need to travel during the consideration period, even the period before my existing permission to stay has expired, I will be going to the immigration office for a new re-entry stamp. Better safe than sorry.

What is the expiry date of your current re-entry permit?

The same as my current extension!
