What to do about two separate addresses

[oobar]

My wife and I, both Americans, have lived and worked in Thailand for 27 years.  For the past two years, we have been retired, with appropriate Extensions of Stay, using the address of our "daughter," a look liang, in Bangkok, where we essentially live when not touring this country that we love.  We are now considering renting a place upcountry, but we will be back and forth between there and Bangkok, probably equally.  We like the professionalism, courtesy and lack of surprises when applying for extensions of stay at Chaengwattana and are leery about changing to the immigration office in the province where we may rent.  Are we likely to run into problems if we continue to use the Bkk address and Chaengwattana immigration service?  On our 90 day notifications, we have often used the address of another look liang upcountry on our return envelope and have encountered no problems?  Any thoughts?

If you don't live in Bangkok it ill be best to use the office for the area where you actually live.

 

The landlord is officially required to report your stay at that address. Especially if it is a professional that rents out the house.

The upcountry house, owned by another adopted "family" is just in lieu of hotel rooms, so that we can have a little permanency with our things there, as well as a mailing address, the same as in Bkk.  Gotta choose one, I guess.  But which one?  Stay with Bkk is what we want, especially after hearing a couple of stories from other westerners regarding the upcountry immigration office we woul be using.

Just concentrate on what your main address is (as it says in your yellow house book). After living in Thailand for 27 years, I am confident you have a house-book. To give 2 addresses is only confusing immigration and therefore will only cause you unnecessary grief.

 

Usually, such matters are turned over to the Thai-Spouse, that can clarify such matters by just picking up the phone. (and dial the immi-number, I must add.)

 

Cheers.

OP has a non-Thai-spouse. We aren't all the same.

Hey if you want to stay with Bangkok then stay with  Bangkok.  Was there really any reason for the post ?
