In the rumours out of Suan Plu, they were talking about 2 only in any given year. Alas, until it is formally announced, it remains speculation, although the tales come from high up in Suan Plu. The wheels turn slowly sometimes.

Waiting and hoping for my thong CMT

ChiangMaiThai, your friend is lucky. As I was a few years ago : 21 thirty day stamps in a row ( when most of the people were refused more than 3 or 4)

This is not speculation or rumour. That' s what happened to a lot of friends (from different nationalities) those last months.

Over to you.

Me and the missus are not legally married but will be doing so soon, so just before the new laws change I'll go to a Thai consulate in another country, show them my marriage certificate and then be guaranteed of staying for another year.

Regarding someone who e-mailed about the UK laws, yes I was actually refering to the amount of asylum seekers who enter each day. Thailand doesn't have an asylum seeker problem as there are no social handouts to attract them.

On top of that though, I will eventually return to the Motherland but not until my child is at schoolbearing age, then hopefully I should have saved enough quid.
