Important change to Extension of Temporary stay requirement !
Just for clarification - this is the 14th time I've done an Extension application so no, it's not my "first rodeo". And no - they do NOT just ask for different stuff "because they can". But each Immigration Office can have it's own set of requirements. That's why I always go in at least a week ahead of my renewal date, so I have time to change/add/amend any changes they've made over the last year. It occurs to me that maybe they are cracking down on people who use agents to fake having a proper address like they do to fake having the financial requirements. Because he didn't ask for a copy of a lease/rental agreement but the actual house paperwork. And at Jomtien I used to supply a photocopy of my (Thai) driver's license (front and back), and have the "Report of Address" slip stapled into my passport. I went back to Immigration with the Chanote, blue book, photocopies of the Chanote (front/back) and a photocopy of the front page of the blue book. The IO looked at the Chanote and photocopies, put them back in the folder and gave it back to me. He had me sign the photocopy of the first page of the blue book and that was it. Everything else was fine, paid the fee, had the photo taken. Back the next day to pick up my passport with the new Extension stamp. All good. I have next year's paperwork almost ready to go. May as well do it now while the printer cartridges are still fresh. Got extra copies of my license and the Chanote and the front page of the blue book in the folder for next year just in case. And just to add to the stress a bit that day, when I went home to get the blue book and chanote - my key wouldn't go all the way into the lock on the safe. Had the combo dialed in no problem, but it seems the furthest-in tumbler was gummed up. Gave it a shot of WD-40. Tried my spare key. Double-checked the combo. Gave the lock a light tap with a hammer. Tried the keys again. Another shot of WD-40. Then sat down and did a search for a locksmith nearby. Contacted one on Line. He asked for a photo of the safe - sent it. He asked about the combo and keys. I responded. He then asked me to make a short video of me trying to open the safe so he could see what the problem was. Got ready, started recording, put my key in the lock - and it slide in effortlessly on the first try. Turned it, click, door opens. Guess I just needed to wait a bit more for the WD-40 to do it's job. And it's almost something I should put on the calendar to do every year - run around the house and giving every lock mechanism a shot of WD-40 to keep them working and not rusting up. Now, what to do with the next 364 days until I have to do this all over again. Travel time ! -

Crime Swiss National 'David' Sentenced to Jail for Assaulting Thai Doctor in Phuket
He rented the villa, no doubt paid for by generous people donating to help the animals. Mind you he could be classed as an animal, one that requires culling -

Will Sadao immigration let me re-enter Thailand the same day?
Unless I'm mistaken you can't BUY a re-entry permit at that border crossing and you'd have to have one before you show up to stamp out (although I freely admit I could be wrong) 🙂 On a valid yearly extension (which is what you have (not any visa) with a re-entry permit you SHOULD be able to exit/re-enter the same day because you're not trying to border bounce to add time to your stay here (like people do who bounce out/back to get free stamps for 60 day). You hold a valid extension w/re-entry and can come and go without much problem. I would certainly check IF you can get a re-entry permit at the border crossing before you slog down there 🙂 OR have that person come into thailand and get the stuff from you AT the border but on the thai side
