Just nearly sent me back home to Blighty.
That's an inconsistency that has existed for as long as IOs at some airports have "cracked down" on imaginary "visa exempt abuse". We've never seen any reports of immigration offices within Thailand denying 30-day extensions based on the applicant "spending too much time" in Thailand or similar nonsense. Without fail, you pay and get an additional 30 days, no matter what your history has been. So yes, you've done nothing wrong. There are no official rules that you have broken. -

Ten-Wheeler Truck Overturns: Tyres Found in Deplorable Condition with Exposed Wires
That's correct, i've got a pic up truck but only 3 brakes have been working for many years, right rear doesnt work at all due to leakage from the rear axle, no big deal although i'm only doing 60 on the roads and I don't use it more than once a month. -

Schengen Visa Question
Bit confused about Spain, thought you said you were planning Italy. I did the first Schengen visa at that VFS office, only problem was that the girl behind the desk couldn't find Tenerife on a map of Spain. It looks like Spain ditched VFS and are using another VAC from anothe company called BLS. Never heard of them but a quick Google shows the checklist here https://thailand.blsspainvisa.com/assets/pdf/Checklist-Tourism-Family.pdf Items 9 & 12 refer to sponsor. -

Must Read Its Happening - Law to Tax Overseas Income Now in Progress
I come from a country that has a DTA with Thailand. My embassy emailed everyone registered that if the tax rate in Thailand is higher than the tax rate applied in my home country, that you will need to pay the difference. They didn't say that if the Thai tax rate was lower, I would get a partial refund 😅- 1

Thailand Mourns Loss of Carabao Rock Legend Ko Carabao
Political and Social Impact (1988-1996) Throughout the late 1980s and early 1990s, Carabao became increasingly associated with political activism. They were known for supporting workers' rights, environmental causes, and rural communities. Their music also became a platform for criticizing corruption, inequality, and social injustice in Thai society. Albums like "Welcome to Thailand" (1990) and "Thap Lang" (1992) continued to explore political and social issues. Songs like "Ngor Pah" criticized government policies and social inequalities, while "Mae Sai" addressed drug addiction, a rising problem in Thailand at the time. Carabao’s association with political movements reached its peak during the early 1990s, particularly around the 1992 Black May Uprising, a pro-democracy movement that saw thousands of people protesting against military rule. While not officially aligned with any political party, Carabao’s songs during this period reflected a call for democracy and social reform. -

5 year multiple entry DTV visa (Destination Thailand) from 2024-xx-xx
Evisa application asks for flight in date, point of entry, flight number, date of exit and address in Thailand but no proof for any of these. I guess the embassy could follow-up and ask for bookings but they didn’t with my application -

Must Read Its Happening - Law to Tax Overseas Income Now in Progress
Guess it pays to poor & liquid. Reckon they'll honor the DTAs, so leaves only my company pension, a pittance, and goes to my brokerage account, which I'm not sure they'll have access to, and only $4284 a year @ $1 / ฿33 = ฿141,372, leaves -0- taxable after allowances One visit to a hospital in USA would negate 20 years of any 'tax savings' for a Yank, if I lived that much longer The couple procedures I've had done here cost less than the 4 years or Medicare Plan B premiums, ~$8,000 I would have paid already Matter fact, make that all my medical expenses I've had the past 24 years of being here, cost <$8,000 -

Anyone tried Thai Sumigran sumatriptan/Imigran/Imitrex? 1/10 the price...hmm
When I was in the US I used to take Axert ( al long half life that kicked Imitrex's butt). When I retired I moved to Thailand and my migraines more or less disappeared. I sed to figure at least one a week while I worked. I still always keep some Relpax handy (2 pills for 250baht) but I bet I don't take more than 2 pills a year. I think the stress of the job, hundreds of long haul flights, time changes, poor sleeping, stupid deadlines, presentations to hundreds (or thousands) of people.....fortunately I was able to retire early at 54. -

Drug-Crazed Man Dies After Being Beaten by Mob Following Tractor Theft in Bangkok
UPDATE Tragic Death of Farmer in Bangkok: No Lynching Involved, Police Clarify Picture courtesy of Khaosod. A farmer from Chachoengsao driving an agricultural vehicle into Bangkok to see his family died under suspicious circumstances after a police chase on September 7, raising questions about the cause of his death. Initial rumors suggested that the man had been lynched, but police have denied these claims. The incident occurred late at night when local residents and police officers from Pathumwan district attempted to stop a man identified as Banchachai, who appeared to be intoxicated and driving recklessly in an "e-tak," a four-wheeled agricultural vehicle. The man had collided with several civilian vehicles in the Pathumwan and Huamark areas. As police attempted to control the situation, the man collapsed and was later pronounced dead at a hospital. Pathumwan police officers report that they fired at the tyres of the vehicle in an attempt to stop it. When they apprehended Banchachai, they found no personal identification but discovered methamphetamine pills and a bag of crystal meth, along with drug paraphernalia. He lost consciousness shortly after his arrest and passed away while en route to the hospital. The exact cause of death remains under investigation. Despite speculation of lynching, rescue workers who were on the scene reported no signs of physical assault on the deceased. Pol. Col. Pornthawee Somwong, the Huamark police chief, confirmed that the man was not a theft suspect and had driven from Chachoengsao to visit family in Bangkok. He also stated that there was no evidence of mob violence during the arrest, and the case is still under review, with CCTV footage being analyzed and witnesses questioned. Authorities are also awaiting autopsy results to determine the cause of death. Banchachai's family revealed that he had driven the vehicle from Bang Nam Priao district, Chachoengsao, to visit his wife and children in Huamark. The family collected his body from the Police General Hospital’s forensic unit and held a funeral in accordance with Islamic traditions in Bang Nam Priao. They expressed concerns over the unclear cause of death and called for further explanation from the police. -- 2024-09-08 Get the ASEAN NOW daily NEWSLETTER - Click HERE to subscribe -

Last Time Refused Entry Retry Monday
I wouldn't be too sure that an 'unmarked' entry refusal goes in the database. Otherwise it would show on (for example) the CNX immigration officers computer. From what I understand from this forum is that many who were declined entry at DMK or HKT and didn't have any notation placed in their passport, easily entered via CNX. -
