Ranong folks say roi hang, they laugh and say Nakhon if I say roi jang hoo.hi all
names Owen
i have a girlfriend from Nakhon Si Thammarat and i am trying to learn some of the words they use in replace of central thai words ie ( very much = jung hoo in stead of mak mak ) she try to teach me but i forget if not able to read the words . not great at remembering things i'm just told .
can any one help me with some study cards
( english = central =southern ) something like this style i find easy to learn
( ie --- very delicious = aroi mak mak ( อร่อยมาก ) = rhøi jung hoo ( หร้อยจังฮู้ )
my girlfriend try's so hard and i would love to show here how much i'm really trying to learn her and her culture of the south, and love if some one could help
mans please try not get to side tracked on differences between words and north south east i'm worried all that will do is confuse me more
thanks heaps

Wife is a Nakhon native, and we live in Ranong, La-Un. From what she tells me there is a lot of NST blood here, but she always pucks it out. She generally will ask where they are from. It gets to be a long chat if its Pak Phanang...... and herein is where the problems begin
Genuine Southern Thai is a diverse mixture of bastardized Thai, slang Thai, Northern Malay, and local regional dialect. Mix in a little bit of Indian as well and you are on your way to learning. There are also differing versions of Southern Thai, Ligor and Chayai being two. I think there are 4 or 5 in total. For example some eastern provinces, NST, Trang and Phattalung have slightly different vocabulary than say Phangnga or Ranong. Same again once you get down to the very deep south of Thailand and the northern Malayan states. Then there are the tones to think about, the situations and then to the age of the person you are talking to and then ................................... I tried and tried and tried to learn but failed miserably. Gave up in the end.

I'm in Ranong. Address could be from arrival card, or previous records.That's interesting. Which part of the country are you living in and where did 'they' obtain your address?

Thanks Joe, he asked my wife what she does. She told him she tapped for rubber. He asks if I help. She says visa says no work. He says I can help and he'll look the other way. I thought yeah, and my old mans a kipper. 555Some immigration offices want a TM30 report done every time you leave and re-enter the country.
Others only want one if you change addresses. Some never ask for one.

They turned up here.What was your wife doing at immigration if you have a multi-entry O visa and have been exiting the country every 90 days?
Sent from my iris 505 using Tapatalk

This isn't the extensions but the normal 90 day border runs. I have just learned our spouses or property owner has to report our presence in person every 90 days. My wife got fined 1600. Initial entry into Thailand, 3 border runs, and no mention of this. Local police know I'm here.

It may be aimed at the number of tourist visas in a passport

Yep, cut my income by about 20%.
We can all live in hope.
Even with the cash, because of my location, on a marriage extension I get a lot of visits. They come around looking for unregistered Burmese. They usually call. Pain in the bum. With a non o I'm left alone.

My only comment on this would be that if you have shown 400,000 (or 40,000 monthly income) in the bank to get a 1 year multi O there is no sensible reason to ask you to show 20,000 cash every time you enter.
But then again who am I??
Understand that but brexit stuffed me.. RIP should help end of June. Plus a Con win.

Just walk up to the ATM in question and check it. It will usually either have it in writing or the symbol for where you put in the card will have a chip on it showing which direction to insert the chipped end. Also you can just insert it and check or wait for someone else to walk up to it and try to peek at the debit card. It will reject the card immediately saying it cannot read card with pin.
Most of the major banks have switched frequented ATMs to chip. Some of the smaller thai banks or atms that are not too frequented .
I just didn't want to get there, and find I couldn't withdraw. Money was late being released. Call me paranoid, but it seems its always on a falling pound lol.

bangkok bank atms can all read chips for some time now. it's the other thai banks that must play catchup.
i think the other one is Krung Thai. i'm confident it will, for Andaman's sake.
Yes it is KTB. I have a Kasikorn card. I asked at KTB if it could read chipped cards. Blank look, the she said.
This KTB bank your card Kasikorn.
I replied I know, but it's your ATM at the Andaman Club Immigration.
Then she came back with Can only use card in Kasikorn ATM. I clenched my teeth and left.

i went to andaman club last week of april and friend went 1 week earlier or so. NOBODY was asked for 20k or any money for that matter.
the worst that would happen is a white note or two would need to be inserted...and that's usually if something is wrong on your side (e.g. too many VE entries)
a third friend no problems either a month earlier. all non-o multiples.
mostly thais going to gamble and maybe play around in the pool. just the occassional western tourist pass through; usually border run or duty-free gift shop.
interestingly enough though, andaman club thai side has ATMs right in the lobby [emoji48]
I forgot to check if those ATMs can read chipped ATM cards. I live in Ranong, and the 2 nearest me can't.

That's not how this particular requirement – and also some other parts – of the Immigration Act are meant to be implemented. Imagine how much longer the queues at immigration checkpoints would be if compliance with every single requirement were verified in detail. In other words and luckily for the travellers, for some requirements the immigration officers only need to do spot checks. In my experience, this is the same in other countries to which I have travelled.
Funny thing is I did not see one foreigner in the Andaman Club. On returning I saw 1 other passport at the Burmese immigration, a blue one. I saw no foreigners in the club. On the Thai side as I returned I saw 1 westerner leaving Thailand. Spot check delay? What delay?

If I understand you correctly, you are complaining that this time and all the times prior to the second to the last time you were not asked to show 20k Baht.
I'd just like them to apply the law, I can work round that. The inconsistency is annoying.

Well consistency would be nice. Last run from Ranong Andaman Club Pier, gobby cow gives me hard time about 20k and why did we go to Mukdahan etc. I went 13 days early today. Just to ensure I had the cash. Not a word is said. She wasn't there.
The Burmese side have had a makeover. Chatty and smiles. I nearly missed the boat back, they wanted to know about a book I was reading. So a brief lesson on The Wars of the Roses lol.

My friend messaged me, he too had no problem at Poipet. He took 20k just in case though.

" I was then asked," why do I have to go out of the country every 3 months"."
Either you choose to do so, or you don't meet the requirements.
Cos it's not convenient to have immigration turning up every other month or so, as the Ranong office do a sweep looking for non registered Burmese.

I guess we are back to each office doing it's own thing.

You need a stamp at your destination if I'm not mistaken.

Yesterday my 1st thought was what kind of idiot would normally walk around with that kind of money on them.
Today and chatting with my other half. Someone is going to get hurt or worse for that 20,000. Expats and tourists will be seen as cash cows by the local thugs.

I'm not sure if something got lost in translation yesterday. We went to the Ranong Grand Andaman pier. My wife was told all we had to do in future, was go with the 20,000 to the main immigration office in Ranong, and I would get another 90 days. She believed they meant no travel across the water to Burma. Next time on town, we'll pop into the office, and get some clarity on this.
