    90 Report Slip with date Not in Passport

    in Thai Visas, Residency, and Work Permits

    Posted

    "Phuket immigration forgot to put the 90 day Report Slip in my passport on the last extension......."

     

    Duhhhhhh, your fault for not checking before leaving Immigration. Always check for accuracy and completion of forms and stamps BEFORE leaving Immigration.

     

    I had them switch my 90 form for another person's. Yepper, looked at the 90 form they stapled in my passport as I was walking out the door and I noticed it wasn't my name on it.

     

    I had another occurrence where my extension stamp wasn't initialized by the big boss. I noticed and questioned this before I left Immigration. I got a 'sorry', they took my passport back, and after waiting another 15 minutes it was returned to me with the stamp being initialed as required.

     

    Just because they made mistakes doesn't mean that will be a useable excuse when you are found to be overstaying.

    Try this    https://meteum.ai/surin/month/april scroll down until you see weather graph for April. Click on Wind, m/s

    That isn't so accurate. I say that as I just looked at the wind for the entire month of April and it doesn't show where Nan experienced some heavy winds last week. So heavy that trees were toppled and some roofs went flying.

     

    ...and for the OP: You should identify the description of the house in question. Some of these stick shacks considered to be a house would topple with one small breath of the Big Bad Wolf.

    Any recommendations for a shop to replace the body of a laptop?

    Yes. I wrote above because in my experience ThinkPad is about as good as it gets about support and spare part. After a couple of years these devices are treated like obsolete, like nobody would ever use them again - even if they are still working. Sad.

    I agree with what you are saying but the companies these days don't care about older models as they like to conjure up newer models with more bells and whistles in order to bring in consistent revenue year-year. (Think iPhone)

     

    ThinkPads are great, even back in the IBM days. I still have a couple that work great. The problem when IBM had them was that IBM didn't care about the consumer PC market as they were focused on their mid-to-large mainframes and services. As an ex-IBM employee I was fully aware.

    65K Monthly Method for Retirement Visa

    "So it could just be my immigration guy had a bug up his ass. "

     

    "Think you will find it depends on the immigration office."

     

    I thought it has been identified numerous times before:

     

    It doesn't matter what the rules/laws are because it can change at any time due to:

     

    - Immigration office location

    - Immigration officer processing the application

    - Mood of the Immigration officer processing the application

    - Applicant's behavior

    - Moon phase

    PM Inspected Suvarnabhumi Airport

    in Bangkok News

    Posted

    I actually have a few pics of the tunnels under the concourse.

     

    I was in the airport the first week it opened. Back then there was no designated smoking areas made yet. Being a smoker and at the gate I decided to find a place to smoke where nobody would be bothered. I saw a staircase leading down and started going down the stairs where I came to a platform with a closed door.

     

    Looking on the ground I saw several extinguished cigarettes so I figured I found a good place to have a smoke. While smoking I decided to check the door expecting it to be locked. To my surprise it wasn't locked so I went inside which was nothing but a massive service tunnel under the concourse.

     

    I bet with today's security that door isn't accessible.
