Have you tried this yourself? Or just offering an "idea".
Exactly what would you say to a mainly Thai speaking immigration officer in English in order to subtly offer him a bribe?
Open your phone to the calculator and enter the amount they will counter offer same way if not enough. Good Luck

Thank you kindly for your attention and help Dr. Jack. Frustrating day today
Be careful of using an agent that will only bring more trouble for you. If they take your passport out of town to get stamped you will be stuck doing that forever. Try again next year and if you have problem just offer cash to clear up the issue for now. In the long run it will be cheaper and next year you will be clear. I used an agent agent for 2 years then tried to switch to CW and they thru my passport back at me and said go back to agent. Long story short the IO showed on there phone how much to clear everything up was 10,000 baht. done and done that was 3 years ago. Best of luck chill out my friend stay cool.

I'll have a waltz through their website shortly (have to get my day in first).
Unfortunately, I have never used BitCoins and I would have no idea how to get them or even use them.
As a self professed App Luddite, I do already have too many modern things to contend with (online banking, buying off 'Line', online 90 day report, etc.), not knowing about BitCoins is probably for the best, sometimes ignorance really is bliss. ????

I bought 10g for testing and when I opened the sealed bag and saw the contents, I thought that I had been stitched up, rather than bud it looked very leafy.
However, on smoking it I was pleasantly shocked.
It is a decent high, not to little, not too much.
Currently at 79 Baht per g, it's not a bad choice and is worth trying.
My second 10g bag arrived today (I ordered it mid day Thursday), and I have just placed a new order for 30g.
If you prefer higher CBD strains, they also have those in local stains.

Hey Guys I have found a pretty good pot for 99 baht a gram 5 gram minimum purchase and they give 1 gram free total 6 grams 545 baht Cod. 2-3 days flash delivery. Nice Buds Thc 22%. They were on Facebook selling Lemon-Cheese. Now they have purple gummys. Sativa half half mix. I got burned once on some 49 baht a gram it was 6 month old brick weed shake. Buyer beware for sure. Those 700 baht a gram and 350 baht a gram that does not fly. On another note i am going to try Royal Seeds next month for some auto-flower seeds need little light bug resistant and in 10 weeks you are good to go estimate 170 grams a plant. price of the Seed is 300 baht. Looking forward to feedback.

Immaterial. Supply and demand. Since the slump in sales during the height of covid and the unavailability of parts today, demand has since soared so they will naturally want to get as much as possible. In short, they don't need to sell for cash since the guy behind you is willing to go finance and pay more.
Thanks for your reply. I appreciate everyone's comments

The wife was out the other day and inquired about the cash price for the Yamaha Grand Filano. The dealer told her they only sell if you Finance with them. So she went around to several shops and everyone required Financing. I told her next time find out who the finance company is. No Credit Cards or Cash seems real strange to me. Sounds like the Mafia LLC. Loans. I would appreciate any one else's recent experience? Thank you

14 hours ago, asiaexpat said:Years of faking income to get a letter from the Embassy it seems, then using a an agent that circumvents the rules to get an extension. If the OP, after 16 years in Kingdom does not understand Thai Immigration policy shame on him and he got off cheap. I have dealt with CW on my own for many years for both Thai Wife and Retirement extensions and never had an issue. Never even a hint of Tea money.
Were do you get years of faking income from?? I never lied to the US Embassy about how much money I earn. My problem was when I set up the bank account for transfers I stupidly also added my wife's name. So when I went to the IO they denied my application. I did a border run and eventually settled on using an agent. I have also dealt with CW for many years also before they moved from the Silom area including the same IO officer who recognized me from before. So <deleted> Off

The true cost of using an agent who gets your extension for you by sending your passport out of the province where you live is often deferred until the time you attempt to not use an agent and get the extension from your own immigration office according to the rules. You may want to go straight but the gang won't let you.
I really had no choice but to use an agent at the time I figured there would be some problem with the address but never thought that the stamps themselves were illegal. The officer did say my Retirement Visa is now clean and next year just get the Bank Statement so there's that. I always like to get feedback to keep it real. Thank you for your time

Hey Everyone just came back from CW went there to renew my Retirement Visa. Two years ago I had a problem with my Retirement Visa. I am from America and have been here 16 years now. This happened after the US embassy stopped with the notarized letter for income. I had opened an account at Bangkok Bank for the monthly transfers. The problem was I also listed my wife on the account that was a big no go for immigration. They gave me 7 days to get out of the country. I ended up doing a border run to Myanmar so I got a Visa on arrival. I extended for 60 more days and then I had to use a agent. I got a Non-O for 18,000 baht which gave me 90 days then I got my Retirement Visa for 14,000 baht for a 1 year Visa. In the mean time I had opened a new single name account and started my deposits. Then last year I decided to go ahead and use an agent and pay the 14,000 baht. I really did not want to go to CW because of Covid. Now my Retirement Visa was due to expire May 17,2022 so I went to Bangkok Bank and got a 1 year statement for 300 baht takes 5 days for a full 1 year printout. Also got the letter stating my account info and balance. The last year I have been doing my transfers around 100,000 baht a month. So off I go to CW to renew my Visa. When the agent renewed my Visa they did it up north in Issan and another area up north. Now I have a valid Retirement Visa along with my recently updated 90 day report. The Immigration officer took one look at my Passport and threw it back at me told me to go back to agent that my Visa was dirty because of the Northern Immigration Stamps end of discussion. I said I have all my bank reports and transfers so what is the problem?? The Immigration officer begins to talk to my Thai Wife and she is pleading for help please. The Officer now shows my wife her calculator with 12,000 baht on it up to us if we want them to clean up my Visa. Dirty Visa no good clean Visa good. What could I have done at that moment??? Well spoiler alert I paid the 12,000 baht plus 500 baht change of address. Let the comments begin Thank you in Advance.

The 15 days includes the report date when it is counted. Easier to just count 2 weeks before you report date.
For example if your report was due on the 25th of this month you could do the report today the 11th.
I was reading the post about the e-mail notification on renewing your 90 Day Report. I now remember that on the same day I got the rejection I received another e-mail concerning from Immigration my 90 Day Report was due. It was confusing at first then I noticed two different case numbers. Next time I will wait the 2 weeks per Ubon Joes recommendation. If it does not pass then forget it. My Retirement Visa is due in May. Take Care all
I did not intend for this to get sidetracked with some security baloney.

Just to be clear it is a "magnifying glass" icon, presumably meant to imply a "search" for your previous record.
That will autofill data from your previous (successful?) report, after you've entered your passport number and nationality, with hopes that any reviewer finds it acceptable a second time. There are no guarantees that all reviewers will use the exact same criteria.
Thank you for that

Did you change any info when you did the 2nd report?
The best way to avoid problems after doing the first report is to enter your passport number and nationality and then click the hourglass to complete your report.
Hy Joe I do not think I changed anything. Is this hourglass for an auto-complete from last time? Also my Retirement Visa expires next month could that cause a problem? Thanks in Advance.

When was the due date?
When did you do the online report?
Personal data unchanged?
How long did it take to get the rejection? (hours? days?)
Thanks for your reply. It was 15 days till due. I had a March 29th due date. I got approved the first time in 30 minutes. It took 3 days before the rejection. No personal data was changed. I was puzzled about the whole thing.

I had registered in Dec. for the Online reporting next I did a 90 Day Report no problem. It was okayed and I received my confirmation and printed it out. Last month I submitted my 90 Day Report and it was rejected and i was told to report to Immigration which would be CW. I have a retirement visa it expires in May 17. I ended up using an agent for 500 baht did not want to go to immigration. Any clues as to what went wrong. Save the Jokes. Thank you in advance.

It was never promised from what I read when it comes to the Pfizer majority of it whatever is left after the government leaders VIP get their shot it was to go to all the front line workers that would start with those in Bangkok I think there was a article yesterday that front line workers in other provinces would be getting it in the next few days whether there will be any left for expats is unknown. It has also been reported that U.S. donated another 2 million doses Pfizer to arrived in a few months? Then you got another story the Thai government has procured another 30 million doses Pfizer beginning of the year hope that story isn't more smoke? Meantime I wonder what is going on with the Moderna?
Hey everyone about Moderna I received an e-mail from Med-Park Hospital 2 days ago alerting me to there 2 round of registrations for the Moderna Vaccine for the 1st and 2nd quarters of 2022 for 3300 baht payable now. I had just received a free vaccine at Med-Park Hospital 2 days earlier. I am of of the so called lucky ones. When i left i really felt like Superman almost strange feeling. Who can afford to wait till next year and pay up front? I believe there registration is open till Aug. 24 not sure though. Stay Safe Everyone much love to you all.

I want to first thank Liverpool Lou for posting about Med-Park Hospital enrollment. I was lucky to have went to there web site right away and submitted my Passport photo and signed up it was about a month ago. When I got there I saw about 75-100 people lined up on the right side of the hospital. I had a 10:30 appt and I got there at 9:30. When the staff saw me at the back they took me right to the front where they had an over 60 registration table. It felt like the red carpet treatment was real nice. Showed my passport and was given a number with a plastic sleeve to put over your arm for the blood pressure check. Next checked in and had 2 papers to fill out and sign. They had different sections inside depending on the vaccine choice. I had reserved the Astra Zeneca but they had the Pfizer vaccine instead. I was very happy to receive any vaccine at this point. Got my Jab waited the 30 minutes and was out the door. Return in 3 weeks for 2nd jab. Sounds early but i will take it. The Med-Park Hospital is very nice and they had plenty of staff inside to make things go very smoothly. Take Care All

Here's a link to the actual study, as published in the New England Journal of Medicine.
https://www.nejm.org/doi/full/10.1056/NEJMoa2108891?query=featured_home
The study was conducted by a group of independent scientists from the following organisations:
Public Health England, the National Institute of Health Research (NIHR) Health Protection Research Unit in Vaccines and Immunisation, London School of Hygiene and Tropical Medicine, the NIHR Health Protection Research Unit in Respiratory Infections, Imperial College London, Guy’s and St. Thomas’ Hospital NHS Trust and Healthcare Associated Infections and Antimicrobial Resistance, University of Oxford.
Here is your link okay? I never thought that someone would actually be interested in reading the actual study. My bad. The whole intention of my post was that this was a new study out and I thought reputable enough and it had some good news. My Thai wife was going to get her shot of AZ and I was just checking up on its effectiveness. I was mildly surprised about the AZ Vaccine no surprise about Pfizer. I then posted it hoping a little good news was in order. I also offered my own opinion on the Sinovac Vaccine in the same post and it was met with some disagreement again should have just stuck to the facts there. The bottom line is that the AZ vaccine which a lot of people are going to get here is not bad. The same study now says that the 2nd shot should be given at 2 months for the best protection. The sweet spot to quote a doctor. I do not think I will be posting in the future on this site to much drama for sure. Stay Safe All

I made a statement about the Sinovav vaccine that was my opinion it was not fake news. When you use that term Fake it sounds like Trump to me. Also the WHO had approved the AZ Indian Vaccine and now they have reversed course. I would never discourage someone from getting any vaccine at this point. Sinovac or Sinopharm is better than nothing for sure. I thought it was some good news amongst bad news all the time here lately.
