  1. Thanks for first hand report Bad news for all in Phuket.
  2. 60k to 70k is top ranks in government/police. Freshman at police are ridiculously low paid under 20k. The average immigration officer that serves you is in the 30k+ range. These numbers are publicly available. In Thai only and not a quick find. It's of course not the first such thread more like the 100th. When on the desktop I might find them. This 350k number for a company employee per month!!!? Even in management. What a joke.
  3. Granddaughters with bachelor struggle to earn 20k / month. One has a bachelor in environmental engineering and now likely over 20k. Would have to ask her.
  4. Regarding Thai immigration. Very unlikely that it would be denied. Assuming you have no history with overstays and the like. And for the extension you should be able to show the outbound booking within the extension period.
  5. If the flight is overbooked it's a great chance for them to kick you out or force pricey rebooking on the spot (like me with a 32 day booking, long ago).
  6. A Thai news source says that flooding is strong again in Phuket town,Thalang district and Kathu district. Resulted in flooding and heavy traffic congestion. I saw Patong beach rd. seemingly clear.
  7. Technically it looks like they can get through on some routes without experiencing wet feet in the car (like I did). But is it worth?
  8. The rain hasn't stopped. No torrential cells to see here but endless since days!
  9. I searched through Twitter, Facebook and news search (also in Thai), Parts of the island are still heavy flooded. Even where the water is only spilling over the traffic is terrible, long jams. You would have to pay me a fortune to drive to the island with my car now.
  10. Cherng Talay rd., 18. Oct, about 16:58h (5 PM).
  11. Who paid for, who owns it, who will pay expensive repairs if possible at all? I almost ruined my 3 month old car in Pattaya in 2011. That's a lesson that I will not forget.
  12. As mentioned I lost oversight about their options. That happens if a billionaire clan not only owns 7/11 franchise but also True (and much more). A country on the path to oligopoly (owned by a handful of clans).
