When the stamps were transferred to my new passport I enquired as to whether I would need to bring my old passport when doing my next extension. Was told not necessary.
Just did my 1st extension using my new passport 2 weeks ago, and had my old passport with me just in case. No request for my old passport was made.
So must be another one of those ridiculous things that different Imm offices/officers decide.

So you have assumed he's guilty and should do jail time?
spidermike has been anti Big Joke, with absolutely no evidence to support his negative BJ posts, for as long as I can remember.
The sad thing is that spidermike's posts are usually full of common sense and supported by evidence. Can't say the same for any of his posts about BJ. Thus far they have all been irrational guilty until proven innocent comments.

Was he prepared to pay for the promotion to his current rank though (not as expensive) or was it purely a merit promotion?
purely merit to the rank he held.

2 of my wife's school friends are mid ranking police and the son of one of my Thai friends is also police. I've asked them questions as to their opinions of Big Joke and they say that they don't believe he's corrupt. One of my wife's friends resigned from the RTP last month (took early retirement) because he was fed up with all the corruption his colleagues were involved in, and he was not prepared to pay 2 million baht for promotion to the next rank. They also said that BJ knows where all the skeletons in the closet are and that all this current notoriety is just another attempt to get rid of him so he doesn't become #1 in the RTP. They also made a very interesting comment along the lines of if he did leave the RTP and move into politics he would be in a better/stronger position to bring down the rampant corruption within the RTP.

The limit of 2 per calendar year refers to land and sea.
No stated limit via air.
Sorry DrJack but your answer re arrival by air is incorrect. There is a limit of 6 times per year when arriving by air. "Those who arrive at the airport without a prior visa will continue to receive a 30-day stamp up to 6 times per calendar year."
Before you start saying the link is NOT the Thai Embassy, I'm aware of that, but it's been posted to support my post correcting your comment re "no stated limit via air".

no puzzler. It was the reporting that was 2 days later, NOT the intervention. I had to re-read it a couple of times before I realised what the nonce of a reporter was actually trying to say.

I just want to know if it is legal to clean my house or not!
I have been told today that I can’t do it without a work permit.

Technically the juristic girl is correct. I knew a farang several years ago who was painting the boundary fence to his property who was arrested and deported for working without a permit. Even after being able to prove to the police that it was his residence it made no difference. He was also given the taking work off a Thai explanation as well as the no work permit line.
Now I do know that he was not popular with the Thais in his neighborhood because of his superiority attitude towards them, and it's a certainty one of the locals reported him.
So I would suggest you be on your very best behavior instead of your what appears to be usual attitude towards Thais otherwise you might find yourself in the same position.
I would also agree with others on here that your post is just another one of your delusional troll posts.

How does that even relate, going abroad obviously does not create new TM30's, as it is not the same as when one travels domestic.
I can confirm that CM is rogue in this way, and they often want a fresh new TM30 again, if you also came there to extend. If I would fly abroad and come back, you are right, usually they are fine with the old one. The last time they wanted me to a new TM30 as well because I submitted myself without any end date, as it is our house. Then they wanted to see one with an end date (makes zero sense but whatever).
I don't know where you're getting your information. I've been using CM Imm Office since moving to CM province in 2016 from BKK and based on MY experience with CM and that of my 2 friends experience when they returned from overseas earlier this year, and the question I asked when I did my annual extension last week, CM do NOT require a new TM30 when you return to the same permanent address. Also TM30 does not have provision for an end date on it. The same applies when you travel domestically. My TM30 is dated 2016, and I've travelled out of province domestically regularly since my TM30 was issued and NEVER been asked for a new one.
Apparently this used to be a CM requirement for both international & domestic travel, but one that I've never been asked to provide.
However, as I now have a new passport, hence a different passport number, I will get a new TM30 in August when I return from Vietnam so my current passport number is reflected on it, and that is the ONLY reason I will be doing so.

It's impossible to qualify each statement with what rogue offices do re TM30.
There are ~75 offices and I posted the law and what normal offices such as CW enforce.
CM is another rogue office.
Don't agree re CM on this. I've got friends who have been in Thailand for around 10 years who had recently returned from holidays to their home countries (USA & Canada) who upon their return went to CM to have TM30's lodged and told not necessary as they returned to their same permanent address.
I will be travelling to Vietnam later this year and whilst I was at CM Imm Office last week doing my extension I asked whether I needed to do a TM30 on my return. I was told that if I was returning to the same permanent address that it would NOT be necessary. So CM are NOT a rogue office with everything, just some things.

Khun La is right. Thailand's weather isn't the norm because of all of the sun and heat. Best to leave paint as it comes for as much sun protection as possible. I tried decent paint, just below the TOA Supershield, and it faded very fast. Two colors. No paint will last as long as it's advertised in this extreme condition. Best to buy the best you can afford and not dilute. Primer is always a good choice after you scrape and clean the surface.
"No paint will last as long as it's advertised in this extreme condition.
I can't agree with that statement. I've found Dulux Weather Shield to be better than any other brand available in Thailand. It's been well and truly tested in the harshest Australian conditions (searing heat & humidity, tropical rain, & extreme cold), and it lasts the advertised 15 years when applied without watering down at all and as per the manufacturer's directions. My grandparents and my parents painted their houses with Dulux and the colours only started to fade around 14.5 years after first being applied. Both house were repainted with Dulux and they were in very different regions, so different weather conditions. I've used Dulux here in Thailand, as I previously posted the only section that has peeled away, in less than 18 months, is the section that was painted when I wasn't present to oversee, and the Thai subby, contracted by the builder, watered the paint down by almost 50%. When asked why he watered the paint down after being given specific instructions not to, he said it was too hard to apply the paint. It went on easier when watered down.
The ONLY way paint will last for the advertised period, is for no water to be added.

Aside from shop around, already suggested ...
... make sure walls & surfaces are properly prepped
... DO NOT ADD any water to primer or paint, no matter what any idiot suggests or tells you. You immediately change the chemistry & properties of both. Really can't be emphasized enough.
Surely somebody will come on here and says it's fine, normal and done all the time. Doesn't make it right.
But when does diluting anything, make it better ?
I agree 100% about not adding water. I had a mate in OZ who worked in the paint industry his entire work life and he advised me to make sure that no water was added to the paint, especially if I was using Dulux. Thais insist on watering down paint so it goes on easier, but it also significantly reduces the lifespan of the paint. The one small section of our house that I wasn't available to oversee the painting, the paint was significantly watered down and it started peeling off after only 18 months. Dulux Weathershield is supposed to last 15 years, and that is the brand of paint I would recommend for exterior painting.

I don't believe the air quality readings for CM stated in the OP. They are understated. The reading I got for yesterday at 1.00 p.m. was 225 & Sunday at 11.30 a.m. was 296 for CM. This morning at 8.30 a.m. in Fang it is 188, so by lunch time, unless it either rains or the wind gets up, it will surpass 200 easily.

this morning when I was about to take out the trash I saw a thai person sitting in front of my gate.
he was actually leaning on the gate itself
I don't know who they were but he was sat down playing with his phone.
I polite asked him to move
which he did,
but he also swore at me in Thai and kicked my gate.
I think he may have been drunk.
just to be clear, this is a private residence and his back was leaning on my gate.
This whole situation has caused me a great deal of stress,
I hope I will be OK.
bob.
so your post about being at the airport and leaving Thailand forever and requesting administrators to close your profile was just more of your usual BS.

This is the bit people should be worried about, people seem to think Dual Tax treaties exist so an individual can CHOOSE which rules to follow.
Take a person living on an income just below the income tax threshold in Europe (perhaps a state pension) but this person is not in Europe! This person for tax purposes is resident in Thailand and his income is above the tax threshold in Thailand perhaps making him liable to pay tax in Thailand.Having paid no tax in Europe, he does not have anything to credit against his Thai Tax liability.
Not intended to be a qualified response, but thought provocing all the same
For any aussies reading this OP, here's how the Aust/Thai DTA currently works. Under the Aussie/Thailand DTA if you are a tax resident of Australia, Thailand cannot tax you on money brought into Thailand. However, if you are a tax resident of Thailand, your pension and all other funds, other than proven savings before 31 Dec 2023, brought into Thailand after 1 January 2024 are ONLY subject to Thai income tax. Australia cannot legally tax a Thai tax resident under our DTA. In the majority of cases those aussies who only have their OAP coming into Thailand will be required to submit a tax return, but after taking into account the deductions that have previously been itemised by Mike Lister in other posts on this topic, most should have their assessable income fall into the non-taxable income bracket.

Thanks for the heads up
Last time I was at Central Festival they weren’t doing Marriage Extensions but I need to get a re-entry permit for a trip before my extension is due so I’ll check it out at the same timeI don't know how accurate this is, but I've heard that Re-entry permits at Central Festival CM have to be done before 11.00 a.m. I'm still to check this out, but will be asking the question at CM Immigration on Friday when I do my extension.

so Bob, after stating you were leaving Thailand and having your profile shut down on Asean Now and never posting in here again, you've returned and proven yourself to be a person who cannot keep his word, just as so many others said would happen.

Come to Thailand one time a year and stay for 6 months
in Thai Visas, Residency, and Work Permits
Posted
As others have stated it is doable. However, don't forget that once you've been in Thailand for 180 days or more in a calendar year you become a Thai tax resident and will need to submit Thai tax returns and pay tax on any funds you bring into Thailand after Jan 1 2024 that are not savings, and that is dependent on whether your home country has a Dual Tax Agreement with Thailand. So you really need to take that into consideration as well.
