It's too small and right next to Phuket. Chang is the best island. -

Non-O Extension Renewal Experience Today @ CW
As promised in another thread here is my experience today in case it helps others keep up with requirements. Thought it was better to start a new thread than reply in the other one. I had booked an appointment for 1pm. I arrived around 12 noon to do banking and get photos. First off to Bangkok Bank to get the standard letter certifying I have more than 400k in my account. I also asked for a 6 month statement. Note: Six months is the longest they will provide. If you need longer you request it and they will email it to you the following day. I could have asked for three months but figured no harm in playing safe. Then off to the photo shop to get my photos done (100 baht for 4) and figured I would copy my bank book while there. Into immigration at 1pm. My number was called around 1.10pm. Handed my docs over: - Completed TM7 with photo. - Bangkok Bank Letter. - 6 month statement. - Bank book. - Marriage certificates Kor Ror 2 and Kor Ror 3, original and copies. - Wife's ID card, original and copy. - Wife's tabien baan, original and copy. - My passport and copies of photo page, original non-O visa, last extension, and last entry stamp. - TM30 - 90 day report receipt (I had the original as I had to do it in person last time, and also a copy) - Family photos (me, wife, two kids): 2 inside the house, 2 outside with one of them showing the house number. - Map to house. I used a screenshot from Google maps, put an asterisk on my house, and added address, coordinates and a Google map link. They asked me to sign all the copies of everything. They also gave us both a form to fill out acknowledging and agreeing with the penalties for overstaying. There was no need for a witness as others have reported at other immigration offices. A couple of mini curveballs, they asked for my kids' birth certificates. Maybe this is because they were in the photos, maybe it is because on my TM7 I had written "Stay with Thai wife and our two children" on the reason for application, I don't know. Luckily I did have them with me - original and copies. They also asked for a copy of my bank book. You would assume with a letter from the bank and a full six month statement this wouldn't be necessary, but there you go. When I got my photos done I did copy my bank book just on the off-chance, so I dug it out of my bag and handed it over, phew. All in all this document check with the IO and all the signing took around 10 minutes. Pay the 1,900 baht fee, then it goes to the big lady at the back and we leave and wait for our name to be called. I waited for around 15 minutes, name was called, passport and bank book were handed back and I have an "under consideration" stamp to go back on 14th July. So I entered at 1pm, was initially seen at 1.10pm and left the building at 1.40pm. You really can't complain about that: very polite, orderly and - dare I say it - fast and efficient. As long as you are properly prepared and book an online appointment then it is easy. -

Report Philippines Tops ASEAN in Times Higher Education Impact Rankings
Picture courtesy of PhilStar The Philippines has emerged as the ASEAN leader in the latest Times Higher Education Impact Rankings, boasting 121 universities on the list. This places the country third globally, following India and Pakistan. Released on Wednesday, June 18, the rankings evaluate over 2,500 universities worldwide based on their contributions to the United Nations' Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs). The Philippines surpassed Thailand, with 85 universities, and Indonesia, with 76. This year's rankings saw more than double the number of Philippine institutions compared to last year's 56. Ateneo de Manila University leads nationally, ranking in the 101-200 tier, an improvement from the previous 201-300 bracket. Following Ateneo are Batangas State University, Isabela State University, and the University of the Philippines, all placed in the 401-600 band. Although the Philippines dominated in numbers, Indonesia's Universitas Airlangga achieved the region's highest individual ranking, leaping to joint ninth place globally, marking a significant milestone for the nation. The rankings focus on how universities address global challenges, such as poverty and climate change. To qualify, institutions must provide data on partnerships and at least three other UN development categories. In Southeast Asia, leading schools in each of the 17 SDGs include institutions from Malaysia, Thailand, Indonesia, and Vietnam. Adapted by ASEAN Now from PhilStar 2025-06-19 -
