Seems like most believe Biden will be in the grave shortly after his reelection. No real sure what makes one believe this and let me just ask; what would be wrong with a Harris presidency?

Thanks for all the very useful information!

I'm seeking information anyone might have whether there is a motorbike training/testing course offered in English in the Ratchaburi, Kanchanaburi, or Nakhon Pathom areas? I have a 5-year car/truck DL already but I want to get the motorbike endorsement to be 'legal' riding the motorbike around town. I living within a kilometer of the Ratchaburi Dept or Land Transport's licensing/testing center, however, they don't offer the required motorbike drivers safety course in English. Any help or guidance is appreciated.

it's as if possessing a Thai PP magically immunes one from carrying or transmitting Covid?! A pile ????IMO.

Yesterday I visited the Ratchaburi IMO to submit an annual ext. of stay application/re-entry permit. (DrJack54) To you point above "...The tm6 # etc will not be required by Thai immigration for such things as extensions etc. ..." it's worth noting that I was asked to provide the TM6 number and a copy of the TM6 form with my application packet. It did feel more like a box-checking exercise than anything else, but I gave the IMO what they asked for and I was in/out in about 20 mins with a new extension stamp and multi/reentry.... Thanks for everyone's comments...

I'll be preparing my annual extension of stay application this week and wondered whether anyone in the forum has any experience submitting for their extension of stay using the E-Extension System shown on the Immigration Website? Thanks in advance.

Thanks for the clarification.

Seeking confirmation of a couple of points regarding the TM.6 Form and whether Immigration has reinstated its use as a matter of post Covid policy or is its use specific to (1) southern land border crossings at Betong and Sadao or (2) due to the recent crackdown on overstays? Context: I'm on a non-O based on Ret w/ a multiple entry and have (...since the country opened "post Covid") been in and out of Thailand and the TM.6 form wasn't used. This past weekend, I went on a bit of a road trip through southern Thailand and Malaysia exiting at the Betong crossing and reentry one day later at the Sadao crossing. I was part of a local group tour. The IMO at Sadao required that I fill out TM.6 as in the "pre Covid" days?! Is the TM.6 a thing again? Thanks in advance.

Thanks all for your comments and suggestions. The tour company informed my wife that I will not need a visa afterall!? It turns out the person whom made the statement about needing a visa, we in fact just being lazy and guessing what the requirements were. It was excused by the company as a young employee who had just started working for them....???? ????

All, im considering going on a group tour with my wife, she’s Thai, to Malaysia next month. The tour company is saying (at this point, requiring) me to apply for a formal visa to enter Malaysia? As I read their website, it clearly states a visa-on-arrival (stamp) is granted for 3 months and ext,d for 2 months. Does anyone has experience traveling to Malaysia by land border where a formal visa was required? Thanks in advance.

Yes, I own a home in Ratchaburi and it's the address for which I have a residence certificate and registered with the immigration office. I live a few Kms from the Ratchaburi immigration office so I'm there every 90 days. Most of the folks in the office recognize and remember me and I'm usually in and out in less that 10 mins each time. My last annual extension of stay and multi re-entry was done in about the same time too. Btw, I gave a copy of my yellow book and pink ID to the Ratchaburi immigration office and as I mentioned earlier, I've not had any issues thus far.

I have a yellow book/pink ID still active from my condo in Bangkok, but I have lived in Ratchaburi for the past several years. I went to the Ratchaburi IO and my current registered address and is that which I’ve been doing extensions of stay and 90 reports. The pink I’d is in my wallet and yellow book in the safe. Until now (knock on wood) I’ve not had any issues.

I arrived BKK two days ago. Transport from airport to hotel is private to the traveling party and is arranged by the hotel. You’ll be shuttled to their partner hospital/clinic for a PCR test and then to hotel. PCR results came around 5:30pm and we were told to check out before 12:00 the next day. Simple process!

I bought a 2019 Toyota Revo new from the dealership in Ban Pong, Ratchaburi in August of 2019. Ever since I owned the vehicle I've been trying to get the GPS maps in the navigation system updated. I've had several trips back to the dealership to try and order the new SIM card, but they tell me one isn't available. The current map data is from 2013. I have to believe updated maps are available? If in the US I could just order the new SIM card by its part number. Anyone have similar experience and or resolutions they could share? I'm not the guy who's going to drive off a bridge or into the sea and blame it on the GPS, so don't go there!? Thanks in advance.
