November 26, 201312 yr Went to immigration today for the 90 day crap and lo and behold, cue numbers!!!! You go to the farang cop wannabees and they give you a number for whatever counter you need.Only took them since, what, the death of the dinosaurs, to get a cue system going, !

November 26, 201312 yr I have noticed the screen for the queuing system for a very looong time now. I have wondered when it would be introduced. So ... as you say 'pigs do fly'. Going next month for my annual marriage extension - let's see how it goes. Maybe save the usual jockeying near the counter for the next vacant seat.
November 26, 201312 yr I have no idea why this topic has turned in a bashing of the Immigration volunteers. The topic is about a number queueing system. Posts removed.
November 26, 201312 yr Was at immigration today, so much better now, in and out in a few minutes. Sent from my GT-I8552 using Thaivisa Connect Thailand mobile app
November 26, 201312 yr Was at immigration today, so much better now, in and out in a few minutes. That's good to know.
November 26, 201312 yr I went a week ago for 90 day report and was surprised. Meant to post it here but forgot. Looked like it was only the front desk when I went and not the back but not sure. Britpop can report back on that one.
November 27, 201312 yr i thought you were going to say you just bought Pink Floyd's, Animals album (about 30 years late)
November 27, 201312 yr This is not good news for those who know how to queue jump. Not that I ever did. Ever.
November 27, 201312 yr They have had that at Nakhon Sawan since it opened 3 years ago. Efficient and no queue jumpers.
November 27, 201312 yr was there yesterday, poor guy needed a proof of residence, paid 500bath... someone should video and put on youtube on what's happening there
November 28, 201312 yr The farang volunteer immigration officers there are a godsend. There would be a queue from 1998 still there if it wasnt for them. They should be paid.
November 28, 201312 yr I seem to remember them having a ticket machine there about 5 years ago. It must have been a museum artofact because from memory it never got touched
November 28, 201312 yr You're obviously pleased with this innovative solution. Just goes to show, Phuket really is moving forward. Next thing you know, Phuket will have metered taxis, along the coast road, as well. Edited November 28, 201312 yr by NamKangMan
November 28, 201312 yr was there yesterday, poor guy needed a proof of residence, paid 500bath... someone should video and put on youtube on what's happening there I've paid 300 baht, and yes, I know they should be for free. From 300 baht to 500 baht - that's quite a mark up.
November 28, 201312 yr I seem to remember them having a ticket machine there about 5 years ago. It must have been a museum artofact because from memory it never got touched Yes, a ticketing system was installed a few years ago. I've never seen it used in all that time.
November 28, 201312 yr Went to immigration today, everything in place, dotted the eye's, crossed all the tee's, got my ticket, waited less then 5 minutes, documents in, 10 minute wait and visa in my hand, but whilst i was there the ticket machine decided not to work correctly, the one thing i noticed is how many people turn up at immigration and the poor farang tourist police helpers, have to sit time after time explaining the simplest of procedures to them and then the farang still want to argue the point with them. I'm there this friday for retirement renewal, i shall investigate and report back, i will wear the false mustache, hairpiece and call myself, Herman!!!!!

Can you say the same about the land that gives you your "tabien baan?"

November 28, 201312 yr A lot of money for Tabien Bahns and WPs to save a few hundred baht once or twice a year
November 28, 201312 yr A lot of money for Tabien Bahns and WPs to save a few hundred baht once or twice a year A WP saves me more than a few hundred baht. Saves me from being arrested and deported.
November 29, 201312 yr A lot of money for Tabien Bahns and WPs to save a few hundred baht once or twice a year well if you have some money over why not? and gives me 10% every year back..
November 30, 201312 yr @ falkan Another condo that floats in mid air. doesn't all condos do that.. If other people's condo's float in mid air, of course, yours will too. Right????
November 30, 201312 yr A lot of money for Tabien Bahns and WPs to save a few hundred baht once or twice a year well if you have some money over why not? and gives me 10% every year back.. I would expect a better return than 10% for the risk involved, and taking on such a depreciating asset.
