You are entering based on a visa exempt entry.
Your questioning was prompted by frequently visiting Thailand, making them suspicious of the reason for your visit (in essence if you are working illegally here).
Getting a tourist visa or multiple non-O visa (if over 50) would be better and prevents problems in the future.
There is no 3 months in a period of 6 months rule for some years now.
That sounds right. (except I do not think there is that 3 in six rule anymore).
Same thing happened to me last year....too many visa exempt stamps, and frequent "visits".
I finally broke down and got the 90 day non O, and retirement extension. I am very content now, and so (I hope) is immigration.

OP, I've travelled many times with NCA in the past and I never had any misfortunes.
I'm sorry to hear what happened to you and your wife, but you should file a complaint with NCA.
I do think they take matters seriously and may be they can control or change their sandwich supplier, so no other person suffers the same.
Sorry for the editing OP, but I just thought of it.
Did you notice the other 30 or 40 passengers on the bus using the toilet as you and your wife?
If not, could it be something you ate earlier, before you go on the bus?
If the wife got sick, then many others must have been sick as well. Interesting point...was that the case?

He just wants to be a she...and all else remains the same.
Not a problem.

Hadn't thought of this before now, but as there's no such thing as divorce in Philippines (you'd need to annul the marriage) if you were to divorce your wife outside of PI I guess in the eyes of PI immigration your still marriedI like the Philippines but retirement in Thailand is much easier, with respect to visas. I don't keep 800k in a Thai bank, I get a Verification of Pension letter from my embassy, thai immigration accepts it in lieu of money in the bank. As I recall the Philippines requires $10,000 US in one of their banks with a verified pension.
Alternatives to SE Asia? Back to the USA for me
no money required for I card if you have a filipina wife ....
much, much different.
I was divorced from my filipina wife, but passport says i am still married....Voila !!!!!
True..if Married in the Philippines. We were married and divorced in San Diego. Perfectly ok.
-
You have to admit that even the Filipinos don't want to live in the PI...at least the ones that I've met. Where do you live, btw?
Incorrect. I know many who have married friends...and myself 30 years ago...and lived in the states. They all want to go back to PI..... with money of course.
same idea as the Isaan gal returning with the fat farang wallet and making her mark.
In the Philippines, it is very tribal... People in a Barrio are like a big family. It is the social interaction that is missing completely where I live in Udon, now. The Filipinos are all out in the streets mingling with neighbors, singing, drinking outside and kind of hanging out. Thai people stay indoors when at home. Filipinos stay outdoors....and group up. It is kind of festive. They organize into Barkadas (packs of close friends) and roam around... They miss that alot
If you ever really talk to a Filipina/Filipino in the USA ....they will seem happy, but you can see they miss their Barrio and Barkada of friends... and will get misty eyed.... You need to see how happy they are when they get back herE..
The part about Thais staying indoors is not the way it is where I'm at. We're always outdoors in the village way up north. Only go inside for sleeping and bad weather.
The reason is the "Siesta"(inherited from the Spanish era).... and unemployment. Most Thai's are employed...and so not outside...Most people in the Philippines are unemployed.
The farms in Thailand are obviously out and about.... but most Thai's fear getting dark. People in the Philippines are darker,

What will happen when Greece is declared bankrupt.
Probably start looking for Greek Expats in Thailand....so they can squeeze some taxes out of them. Same like the USA does to me.

Very true. Just think of the money Thailand would save on Medical expenses alone,if they used us as volunteer bus drivers. At least let us check out the brakes, tires, lights and horn.
I would certainly tutor college girls, at no expense..should they want to meet me for a beer at the pub.
We could be volunteer jet ski inspectors.
Not to mention voting station monitors. However...Beer quality control would benefit the most.

Talk about black magic and foolish lotto guessing...
this old crazy lady kept coming to our house (when I lived in very old, haunted one).
We did not realize she was looking for magic numbers to win the lotto.
One morning we found her clapping her hands and dancing in our driveway...
I asked my wife, what was she shouting about. Turns out our dog just shat two
long coils. Somehow, when the stuff hit the ground, it read "69". The old lady
actually wrote it down and ran to the secret lotto building in udon.
(They have these backrooms that look like wallstreet, with numbers flashing all over.
Many play lotto as a business...same as some weirdos who play vegas or horses
for a living, instead of for fun.

I guess she was still hungry after lunch.
Can I order this with extra bacon?

And how is this news of Thailand?
It's poster specific
As I said....Thai bashing is favorite topic. American bashing is #2.
Kid stuff, really. Making fun of the good guys......but we love the attention.........
ooooo rah.
-
Sorry dudes, put on the reading glasses, a WOMAN and check the name? You think she is a borne US citizen with a legal firearms license, she's probably an illegal immigrant.
Besides bacon is expensive, so I would want in on my burger that I paid for haha! Go POSTAL!
My name is Squiddledickinski....and I was born in the USA.. Hey...look at Barrack Obama....how about the Big Lebowski?
Look up John Wayne's name... tons of foreign names. Heck...she could be the sister of Peter Torres from that band "The Monkees"
That is Peter Tork of the "Monkees".
I stand corrected... Tork ...but she still might be his sister....

Lots of this going around. More news about bags and bags of body parts in CM.
Black Magic seems to be more common than I thought.
Related is news of body snatchers and baby burners released from prison (monks)
and other Monks walking around with stolen heads of victims who died violent deaths.
Lucky for Lotto...i suppose. Unlucky for victims

So, Steve from Miami, is it OK to call you a seppo?
(C'mon, have a laugh - sounds like you need it -
)Calling sombody a name that implies a tank to hold poo poo...?
Now that is insanely crude........ and that is where the trouble begins...
It will only bring retaliation of terms like Fahtsukers for your countrymen.*having fun?"
-
awwww....you sound hurt.
Blame the french. (frogs/falang)
anyways ...you might be oversensitive. I have not met a Thai yet who does not say falang.

McDonalds in America has bacon??
Why don't we have it here?
I don't know. Just go there with a gun and ask?
What is a scotsman doing at MacDonalds? That "Mac" doesn't mean they are in your clan.

The entire Universe is a danger zone.... including this planet.
With life, as we know it, only existing for a fraction of time... violent weather and violent geological events are actually the norm. Our lives are so short, that we don't see the big picture. Written history is exceptionally short.
Basically, we live on this big piece of rock, spinning around the sun....and we are target practice for anything big enough to make a dent. Not to mention climate, geology, and the fact that the fiery, molten rock in the core of this planet will find it's way out, from time to time.
The surface of the earth is but a thin sheet of rumpled paper on an enormous ball of rock. And the air is just a few miles thick.
Plate tectonics are folding under continents, pushing up mountains.....and causing these massive quakes.
We were created violently...and the earth will come to a violent end, as well.
........That's why I drink.......
