How about you?

Before I switched to the 1 year notification visa, I always mailed my 90-day notification by Thai Post by EMS so I had a record of timely delivery.

Hell no …IMM send me an e- mail 14 days in advance reminding me to do my  90 day report. On line takes 5-10 minutes…..

I’m Mr DIY, no agent and go alone. Get there early and usually done within an hour for the non-o. The worst part is navigating through the knee jerking folks from the big red country up north.

I DIY both extension and 90 day, no issues at all.

 

Usually 1-2 hours for extension and 5 minutes for 90 day.

 

I guess living in BKK has it's draw backs because of the shear numbers.

 

Out here in the bush, we don't have that problem.

At the Immigration office in Kamphaeng Phet, if you get there before 10am you are usually their only customer, and it takes between 5 and 10 minutes. It is about a 1 hour drive each way. My wife is my driver and we usually combine it with a bulk shop in the city.

 

So easy. We go 4 times a year, 3 times for a 90 report and the fourth to combine the 90 report and the annual extension.

 

The op seems to find the hardest way to do things.

 

IMO simply to find something to whine and complain about.

Oh, bully for you, perhaps you have never had to wait four hours to do it.

Formerly lived in BKK and dealt with CW. Was always a LONG, rude, inconvenient fustercluck. So happy to report in Chon Buri these past 4 years. It's not perfect by a long shot, but a damn sight better than CW. 

 

Online in Jomtien since the new 90-day online report started a couple years ago. Never took more than 2 days for approval and usually same day. Got a new PP this year and left the country after that, so my last 2 reports were in-person...in and out in 20-30 minutes.

No I haven't but in the first year of my extension I had a 3 hour and 185 km journey each way to Mae Sot.

 

The next year Nakhon Sawan Immigration opened which was only a 2 hour journey and 130 km each way.

 

Several years later Kamphaeng Phet Immigration opened which is only 70 km and just over 1 hour each way. KPP Immigration office has moved location 4 times since then.

 

Oddly enough through all the IO offices since 2009 I have not whined or complained once.

 

How about you?

Journey time is on you. You chose to live a long way from the Provincial immigration office, your choice. I am talking about a four hour wait excluding journey.

You must be still learning as you are not considering all the options. Physically going to immigration does not take all day like you say if you plan ahead and book an appointment. Do it online when you can (i.e. not after an international trip) which takes two minutes. Do it by post which takes a little longer. Using an agent is a rip off, but some may go for it, not me.

I went there 3 weeks ago, went from being told i had 48 hrs to leave the country,to being stamped in till next November all within 2 hrs,, fantastic staff...got my first 90 day report in feb, do you need and photos, form filling, photo copying, never done one before..

At my office in Nakhonsawan, you just need your passport. The 90 report paper should be stapled in the back and usually takes less than a minute at this office - walk in and walk out. I'm only 15 mins away so no need to bother doing it online

When I used to use the office there, by the time I opened the door and went in and took my passport out, the lady was waiting with her hand out for the passport. Mostly I didn't even have time to sit down before it was done.

 

Another very good Immigration office. The worst one I ever went to was Suan Phlu. Parking was terrible and it was always crowded, usually with agents.

House or Condo?  It's been 8 years you still don't know?  Wow what a useless bunch of pricks.  Let me get this right so there's a lemming that is on a payroll just to ask ''house or condo''?  That is her entire job?  How about you put room number on the form and fire her?  Or replace 80 percent of the building with AI?  Many options.

      Is It Better to Date a “6” Than a “10” in Thailand?

      You mean like a 3? But my wallet is definitely a solid 12!

      DTV visa extension

      This isn't what I asked, you said that you had Thai friends that lost their business due to immigration denying people entry and what immigration is doing is illegal. As I said what immigration is doing is not illegal, they will ask for onward ticket, see cash, etc if you dont have any of these they will refuse you entry, all valid, nothing to do with covering their tracks, it's procedure. But this isn't the point, I asked how did this effect your Thai friends in loosing their business due to immigration? As I dont believe that many people are turned away. This isn't something new immigration is doing, it's been going on for decades. Meanwhile Thailand keeps hitting new record highs for tourist numbers.

      Is It Better to Date a “6” Than a “10” in Thailand?

      I don't date long time any more in TH. I pay for short-times with 8s and above from time to time instead. In another country with pussy more abundant and cheaper, I might have long term relationships with top-tier girls. But I'd have to live in such a country. The price of pussy is not the only factor when it comes to choosing a country to settle in. If it were we'd all be chasing long-term visas in some African countries. Dating down so that the woman is less of a headache and less of a hole in one's budget? Easier said than done. Whenever I've tried to do so I've regretted it instantly. I couldn't wait to be alone again. If short-time with a top-tier girl goes up, let's say to 200 dollars, from now "only" 100 dollars, I may consider leaving Thailand though. Everything is a trade-off but some point may be reached at which it's not worth it any more.

      Japan dethrones Thailand as top tourist spot

      Ok maybe for people who like cities and have no social skills or are highly introverted, an East Asian city could be the preferred place. I prefer to be around actual humans somewhere that's by the coast in the tropics or up in the mountains. Moving from Europe to sit in a Japanese city, that is a rip off of Western European cities (like pretty much all major cities now) just doesn't do it for me, but hey everyone has their own preferences I suppose.

      Is It Better to Date a “6” Than a “10” in Thailand?

      It's well known that 10s are an entitled nightmare to date. Inside and outside of Thailand. But would you date an ugly lwoman just so that you don't have to deal with other guys hitting on her? Probably not. So why date a 6 for LTR? I just can't do it. I can't live with myself if I see her and just feel disappointed due to her looks. Yes, integrity is a massive problem with 10s, yes, bedroom performance too, yes, everything in the OP post is true. But I still would prefer a 10 over a 6 for LTR.

      Saudia Airlines - Choose Carefully

      Mods, feel free to move this if its in the wrong place. Flights being expensive I booked a split flight for my forthcoming visit - thinking I was saving a substantial amount. The split was using Saudia Airlines outbound from the UK and Qatar on the way back. Not using Qatar both ways means foregoing my usual gold card entitlements on the outbound. I'm not being snobby - when you've had those entitlements for many years, having lounge access and not having to queue with 300 other people at check in really makes a difference but OK, I'll live with that this one time. The stopover in Riyadh is quite a long one and a quick check revealed that I could get 3 hours of lounge access for £27 through Expedia - not too bad, or so I thought (its now gone up to £35). My Saudia flight arrives at terminal 4 in Riyadh and departs from the same terminal. The only lounge in that terminal is the Alfursan lounge which is for Saudia's first, business and gold members only. When attempting to book the lounge access with Expedia, I noticed the Plaza Premium Lounge they are selling access to is located at terminal 2. So before booking I checked with the airline as to whether I could travel between terminal 4 and 2. Not without a visa or an electronic visa waiver I can't and the cost of that is £45. Before calling the airline I searched for an answer online but only came up with a lot of discusssion from people who had been told they could not go between the terminals without a visa and others who claimed they had done just that. However, as a result of that search I came across some Trustpilot reviews on the airline itself - they did not make good reading. To add to that there is no alcohol allowed on the flight and none in the lounges if I was prepared to fork out for one or could even use one. So Saudia land you at a terminal where you cannot gain access to a lounge. You can't even use a paid lounge unless you are also prepared to pay for the visa waiver - seems very wrong to me. That's my experience pre-flight, I'm hoping is doesn't go downhill from here - I'll just have to suck it up this time. The imposing of Islamic laws on international travellers had already made my mind up that this would be my first and last flight with Saudia but this latest thing over lounge access has sealed that decision. There will no doubt be those amongst you who may have had a pleasant experience with this airline but I'm not expecting good things. I've only travelled with either Etihad or Qatar for many years and this has confirmed why. It just goes to show, check out an airline before you travel - 12 - 14 hours + stopovers is a long time, just be sure you are aware of any pitfalls before you choose an airline you're not familiar with. I normally review check any large purchase I make, god knows why I didn't on this occasion.
