60-day visa exemptions are now unlimited at land borders
Just reporting my experience then: I was stopped, questioned and allowed in with a caution that if I attempt to enter (Phuket Airport) again on VE-60, (ie after my 3rd time in about 5 months) I will be sent back. I was also informed at Phuket Town immigration office last week that the limit is 2 a year. -

CT125 Winter Tour
Today I started with going for a bike service. Cub House said to come back next week, maybe they would be free! I came back to the local guy next to the Lux Hotel. In addition to needing a service I needed to find out why I was getting strange sounds from the front sprocket area. It turns out the chain was knackered and was actually grinding the bolts holding the sprocket on. So, I had it changed to the standard size along with a 42 teeth rear sprocket and new chain. Service, chain and sprockets, oil etc 1,500. Great service. Located here. https://maps.app.goo.gl/LXYE9er5y6ihibSd6 While waiting for the service I went for a walk and found some more street art. I then rode up Doi Suthep to the viewpoint here. https://maps.app.goo.gl/z8Xe91oZFP8KMftNA https://www.relive.cc/view/v1vjYnW7PYq -

K bank E-mail with Tax Forms attached ?
OK. Nightmare report. I never got the email but got the kbank crs file from here. The IRS forms are the same regardless. I filled out the forms on my computer, printed, but signed manually. I needed the CRS and W9. Hoping I could just hand over my forms and passport and bank book copy and be done with it! Silly me. The clerk was very unfriendly. Didn't say a word but started typing up a storm. Eventually he handed me a page in Thai to sign. I said I won't sign something I don’t understand. Rather hilariously he accepted that and tore up that page. Then he typed some more and printed out the forms with what he had keyed in albeit not precisely. So then I needed to proof against my filled in forms. He couldn't print a filled in W9 form so I had to do that by hand. Then sign both forms Over? Think again. He rejected my W9 on the grounds that I didn’t put in a US address. I had researched this in advance and knew that the address on your W9 must match the address you use to file with the IRS. I have been filing with a Thai address for decades. He started fighting me with the support of three more bank staff. I said this is a US tax form and I must follow the US instructions or I can't sign it. He said no this is the banks form. Of course it isn't. It's a very official US tax form filed with the bank. Still trying to fight me he eventually started to get thst I wouldn't budge and let it be. Learn from my awful experience what you will but I think there is an important lesson for Americans and the W9. If you go in tbere without forms and they ask your US address to key in their system, if you don't file to IRS with a US address they are filing a totally incorrect W9 form in your name. Fine if you do file IRS with a US address of course. Maybe filing a very incorrect W9 is OK with most people. Not me. -

MRT for foreign seniors?
If you're not concerned about getting a discount, you can skip the lines at the MRT station and pay for each trip by swiping your credit card at the entry turnstile at the start of your journey and then swiping he same card again at the exit turnstile at the end of your journey. I've verified that this works well on the MRT but don't think that you can do it on the BTS.
