crazykopite Posted January 22, 2014 Share Posted January 22, 2014 Went to Maenam post office today Wednesday the postmen are delivering mail just the front of house not open I asked them when full service would resume and they just shrugged there shoulder the staff who work in the front were just sitting there so they will still be getting paid I managed to pick up my mail as they do not like coming up the hill to my house for some reason.

evadgib Posted January 22, 2014 Share Posted January 22, 2014 (edited) My visa runs out on the 2nd of Feb, I can send someone to extend it for me (have a paper from the doctor). I suppose now is not the time since Immigration will be closed? I wonder what will happen if they don't re-open before Feb... They can hardly blame me for overstaying, I can't walk until another 4 weeks or so. I had an accident and was in hospital for a month here in Mae Sot. My visa expired while I was semi-conscious and I went to take care of it as soon as I got out of the hospital. They were not sympathetic at all and charged me the full fine and stamped as overstay. Do not depend on any sympathy. If you have a friend to help, use them. Was your immigration office closed throughout your hospitalisation? Did your hospital or a reliable 3rd party try to do it for you before you became overstayed? Did you present documentary evidence to support your late request? If the answer is 'no' to any of the above your reply is of little help to this thread. Edited January 22, 2014 by evadgib Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I know it does not make sense but different departments just see you as a bit of paper like in elsewhere across the world. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Would do but who would you replace them with Defiantly should have their salary deducted for each day they miss as allot of people such as business people cannot operated and have to work double hard Such as the transport office.

Tropicalevo Posted February 2, 2014 Share Posted February 2, 2014 OK not a closure per se but still related. Be prepared for slight delays because of traffic queues at Bangkok Samui hospital. The yellow shirts have set up a small stage and demo on the ring road (as at 13.30). You can get through - just a bit slow. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
