The chances of your internet banking being looked at are very slim, especially coming into to Thailand as the OP has asked about,same as your e mails, and unless you get asked for specific passwords and give them, then you are not going to know about who is looking anyway.
So it's okay for non 3rd world countries to know about your Internet banking if I understand you like NSA? Because in your previous posts you insisted if you have nothing to hide So be it.

I do regret what happened on 911.
And I definitely believe in freedom of speech, but i also know that I am required to live within the laws of the country that I live in.
unfortunately I am not American so the patriot act does not affect me but I still stick by my words.
if you have nothing to hide then so be it!!!!
For your information patriot act effects everyone not just Americans, but if I may ask do you really care if your phone calls and your communications in general including Internet banking being monitored or you just don't care as long as you said you have nothing to hide?

You can only get caught if you have something to hide
So, I presume you don't believe in freedom of speech or privacy concern after 911. exactly because of people like you we have the patriot act!

I think whatever country in the world you go to then they have the ability to check your electrical items. (Whether you like it or not)
But unless they have a reason to check them to me you have nothing to worry about.
IMHO if someone asked to check my laptop or phone when I was traveling then I would let them.
The only reason I would not let them is if I had something to hide.
if you have nothing to hide then not much of a reason for this post.
With all respect the OP isn't stupid nor the other posters, point here is to let people know to be smart because once you get caught by a totalirian regime your life could change for ever.

Point is that if they look at your social media accounts and find offensive posts as they interpret them against their government whether in Thailand or most 3rd world countries,I think you hear from them " you have big problem mister". I know people been locked in prison for years because of of posts, tweets and so on.
p.s I never use the term developed countries because a totalitarian regime will never develop. -

Be smart and assume the worst.
In Egypt for example people are stopped at check points and if any political views that they don't like on social media accounts people go to prison for very long time I mean like 10-15 years in prison so, I agree if someone has political views and travel to 3rd world countries including Thailand they should be smart and get rid of their social media accounts. Screw politics enjoy life.

(e.g. You're the spouse/parent of a Thai or over 50, other), and the financial requirements which vary based on the reason for the extension.
Unfortunately I am not a spouse or a parent of a Thai and I am not over 50 yet but I can meet financial requirement 65K baht because I am early retired. So, I only have one option left which is (other) otherwise I'll just have to get a new one from home.

Non-Immigrant Visa
6. EXTENSION OF STAY
Those qualified persons can obtain an additional one year stay permit
counting from the date of entry in the Kingdom pertaining to the Office of the
Immigration Bureau's regulations on extension of stay. The extension of stay
is at the discretion of the Immigration officer.Does the above mentioned can apply to my status since I am on NON-O multi visa without having to go back home and get a new non-o visa, appreciate the explanation

Non O or multiple entry tourist visa
Do you have trouble understanding that there is no non-o tourist visa or maybe I am dead wrong if there is one!
I never mentioned tourist visa with all respect.

I must admit to being unsure if I understand your post. However, this is how I finally interpret it
- You had an unexpired Thai multiple entry tourist visa at the time of last year's trip to Vientiane.
- You were asked to provide a visa photo on entry into Laos for your Lao visa on arrival. You would also have been asked for payment for that visa. You can expect the same to happen if you travel to Vientiane again.
- It appears the Thai Airways check in staff failed to see your valid visa, and was asking for a confirmed onward ticket out of Thailand within 30 days. The condo title deed would have been totally irrelevant, but presumably the check in staff, or supervisor, spotted your visa, and this resolved that particular issue. If faced with this in the future, just point out your visa to them.
- You probably failed to fill in the "address in Thailand" on your Thai immigration arrival card. Immigration want this, and this is why the immigration official asked for it. In the future, fully complete the immigration arrival form.
Last year and this I am on non-o visa multiple entry, I did previously visa run to Kuala Lumpur everything went fine no hassle at all. No picture was asked when I entered Kuala Lumpur and no questions were asked when I left Kuala Lumpur the same day. All I am talking about Laos is so primitive compared to Malaysia but thanks I got your message just not to worry.

I did my second 6 months visa run to Vientiane last year on my previous non-O, I was to present a personal photo to immigration officer! Next day when I went to airport to come back to bkk I was strangely asked by Thai airways if I had a returning ticket to my home country??? but luckily I had copies of my condo title deed and I told her I live in Thailand then immigration officer asked me which hotel I stayed at?. I have to do my first visa run on my new non-o next April but maybe not to Vientiane unless someone comfort my worries.

I've never heard of a European being referred to as a 'crusader' by a Thai.
I would love to hear a Thai pronounce the word "crusader" because as far as I know not all Thais can say the letter R easily if it is not pronounced separately.
-
Farang is term used to call upon European invasions but the term crusaders has been wrongly used instead, originated from France which stopped Muslim expansion in Europe.

All this rubbish. Way back when I was at school I had to learn French and German. I presume a lot of you on here did as well. Hated it at the time but glad of it over the years. I lived in Malta for 5 years. Just about everyone spoke English, but I took the time to learn Maltese why beacuse I lived there. I took time to learn Thai it's a really hard language to learn I agree I would sat I'm fluent but can hold my own and it will only get better with practise. Why did I beacuse I live here simple really.
I bet you English is not your native language and fyi I live here.

Since you can't stop the urge to reply as fast as you can I really don't find it healthy to keep arguing but I will tell you something you don't know, I am not American and I have seen my bank accounts numbers published on my Google profile so I know those bastards are as nasty as wild animals.
