tombkk Posted November 29, 2010 Share Posted November 29, 2010 It's true. While every taxi driver knows that "Soon Rachagarn" is located on Chaeng Wattana Road, and there is even a sign from the Express Way, there does not seem to be a map on ThaiVisa yet.

Maestro Posted November 29, 2010 Share Posted November 29, 2010 See the location here on Google Maps: http://maps.google.com/maps/ms?hl=en&ie=UTF8&msa=0&msid=101110579867335234058.000465f03d84d91df360b&ll=13.885329,100.566831&spn=0.021706,0.031328&z=15 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tombkk Posted November 30, 2010 Share Posted November 30, 2010 Make it official and post the location in a pinned topic, I'd say. Otherwise people keep asking in several threads. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mario2008 Posted December 1, 2010 Share Posted December 1, 2010 Make it official and post the location in a pinned topic, I'd say. Otherwise people keep asking in several threads. Actually there is a pinned topic: In there there are two threads about locations of immigration: http://maps.google.com/maps/ms?hl=en&ie=UTF8&msa=0&msid=101110579867335234058.000465f03d84d91df360b&t=h&z=6 http://www.thaivisa.com/forum/Immigration-Office-List-t302107.html&view=findpost&p=3041544#entry3041544 It is a bit hidden, but we can't do it differently. Otherwise people would need to scroll down a whole page before they would come to the forum posts itself. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Suan Plu can only be used for re-entry permits and is rumored to do extensions of tourist visas also, but have not seen confirmation of this last one. Only naitonals of Laos, Burma and Cambodia can use Suan Plu. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Otherwise people would need to scroll down a whole page before they would come to the forum posts itself. No problem, but it's so hidden that I cannot find it. The idea is to just send the people a link showing the map of the new Chaeng Watttana location and how to get there in reposnse to their query.

pullmoll23 Posted December 2, 2010 Share Posted December 2, 2010 And where is the mail address to The New Immigation office/centre in Bangkok ????? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Maestro Posted December 2, 2010 Share Posted December 2, 2010 It seems they don't want any emails. There is no email address listed for the Chaeng Watthana office on this web page: www.immigration.go.th/nov2004/en/base.php?page=central Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lopburi3 Posted December 2, 2010 Share Posted December 2, 2010 The full address is listed in the index area of the map which is available from the pinned items at top of forum. http://maps.google.com/maps/ms?ie=UTF8&hl=en&msa=0&msid=101110579867335234058.000465f03d84d91df360b&t=h&z=6 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Arkady Posted December 5, 2010 Share Posted December 5, 2010 (edited) Can you not use the immigation office in Saun Plu for visa exentions etc is it now closed. thesign out side stil says immigration department? You can still use the immigration jail in Suan Plu, if you overstay or work without a work permit and can't buy yourself out, but do practice living on a proteinless diet of broken rice and sleeping standing up first. Oh, and don't forget to update your vaccinations too. Edited December 5, 2010 by Arkady Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The 90 day reporting queues are a mob scene and all outside forcing these poor folks to wait hours and sweat for their reporting duty. The one service that Suan Plu provides for other foreigners is re-entry permits - BUT ... only on Saturday mornings between 8:30am and 12 noon. No other days or times or service than this. This service is provided inside in air-conditioned relative comfort compared with the way the Laotians, Burmese and Cambodians are treated. I accompanied my Burmese maid there one time and had my eyes opened by the mob scene. A scruffy looking guy who flashed me his Immigration security badge (plain clothes guys covertly watching for illegal activity) told me about the re-entry service and time.

Suan Plu is much for convenient for me to reach than Chaeng Wattana, so I'd like to understand this clearly/ 1.) Re-entry: Used to be a matter of less than half an hour from arrival to departure, no problem. You are saying this is only possible on Saturday mornings now, but is it still efficient and fast in that air-conditioned room? I'll have to make a re-entry soon, but since this happens only once a year, I can drive to Chaeng Wattana. 2.) 90-day reporting. Used to be a matter of "in and out", no big deal, and filling out the form being the part that took the most time. Are you saying this has changed and I'd better do it at Chaeng Wat now?

I'll clarify - 1) Re-Entry: Possible only on Saturday mornings at Suan Plu for foreigners. I don't know if it is fast or efficient as I have not used it yet. It is air conditioned. 2) 90-day reporting. Cannot do this at Suan Plu unless you are Burmese or Lao, or Cambodian. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
