U.S. Consulate will give you a letter to transfer your visa/extension of stay.

Get the Tourist Police to help you. If you made your reservation thru the 5th or 6th of Jan, you should be able to get the Tourist Police to help you make the hotel honor that.

The 7 days after is to do the report. Leaving the country is not doing a report.
Not likely to happen but if an officer was to notice you failed to do the report before leaving the could fine you for not doing it.
AS UbonJoe said, I was "caught" and fined once because I forgot about reporting until 2 weeks after the due date. The Immigration Officer fined me for being 14 days late and explained that days 1 to 7 were over due days but did not incur a fine until day 8 and beyond. It was not the amount of the fine that caught my attention but the receipt saying 14 days late.

As the difference seems to be 10%, something is wrong. Are you sure that the transfer did not inadvertently get made in baht, that HSBC didn't change the money in the UK before transferring? More investigation is required. What all you done so far, who have you questioned?

I suggest it will be better to go to your local post office in person with the print out of the on line tracking. They will need to see what you see to really discover what happened.

You might ask at a hospital where to find such a place convenient to where you live (or ?). You want a specific capability that I want to say is not available at most massage parlors.
The typical masseuse/masseur has a ingrained routine that they follow that only differs by whether you say one hour or two hours. They may understand exactly what you ask for but then may mentally start thinking about other things and let the muscle memory take over after a certain amount of time. I have even had one specific masseuse who would fall asleep while massaging if she was't talking to another masseuse, neither option got me the massage I asked for.

FOR UBONJOE:
Say a farang and his Thai wife leave the country. When they return, could the Thai wife (if she is the owner of their residence) file the TM30 as they go through immigration at the airport?

The only nearby location that will do a multiple entry non-o visa for retirement is Penang. You would need 800b baht in the bank or proof of 65k baht income. If using the money in the bank option the ask for proof you are retired.
If married to a Thai you can get a multiple entry non-o visa in Savannakhet Laos (Sisaket is in Thailand) with no financial.proof.
So if he leaves the country without a reentry permit (cancelling his retirement visa) or near or after it expires, won't he be questioned why he didn't renew in country? Penang will see 7 years of extensions and then ..... it should raise questions in their minds; it would definitely raise questions in my mind. And what's to say he won't run into the same documentation requirements at an embassy when they review his passport and frequent trips in and out of Thailand and, possibly, check the immigration data base on-line and see some data entry explaining why?
Even if he gets it in Penang, won't he still have the issue of the TM30 being required each time he arrives back in country?
From what little I read here, I do not see that going to Penang to renew his stay is going to make it easier for him or require less documentation than staying at home and going through the same process. Plus staying at home he would probably have to ability to gather what ever information is required while staying in a hotel in Penang trying to gather documents...... ?????

The Royal Thai Consulate in L.A. is a official consulate, not the office of a honorary consul.

There are many expats with Thai families that have/may have members in a terminal state that can not afford McKean. What are some other resources in Chiangmai?

Your post was not clear to me so I have to ask if you are simply asking "is the agreed to settlement from a divorce at the amphur recorded on the back of the khor 7 and/or khor 3?" And that all you want are the answers to
- Yes or no, back of khor 3
- Yes or no, back of khor 7
Am I correct?

In Chiangmai, they are college seniors majoring in a foreign language or allied study on work internship programs for one semester/term. It is a formal program with reports to be submitted.

While taking advantage of the college senior interns may happen in some businesses, it is not true in all fields or organizations. I have seen cases where the intern return as happy full time employees after graduation.

A friend tried to bring in 100 pillow cases as samples to see if he wanted to do the same thing you are thinking about. Customs refused to allow it because of U.S. imposed quotas for material like that from Thailand and he did not have a license to import. It did not matter those were just samples. The quantity meant they were not for personal use, so quotas applied.
Now that is pretty sketchy, lacking detail. But because of that, I would recommend starting with U.S. Govt web sites, Customs, etc., and see what laws are.
Since you did not specify what products you are interested in and in what quantities, it would hard to recommend shipping quantities and container sizes. I know there are 10, 20, 30, and 40 foot containers and that some people ship pallets that are consolidated with other pallets to fill a container.

The termites do not live in the house so I would not recommend random spreading of poisons in rooms. I had a serious problem like yours and took care of it without using any poisons in the house except for a bait box like I mention below.
If you can find a trail (usually mud covered tunnels), put a poison bait in a termite poison bait box where the trail seems to come in. They will come in and take the bait back to the nest.
If you have a tile floor and think you about where they are entering the room, an experience exterminator can drill a neat hole, inject liquid poison beneath the slab, and then close the hole with a nice brass screw plug. You can then periodically (we do it once a year) take out the plug and pump in another dose.
As Bevup does, bait condos (as our exterminator calls them) around the house are a good idea. The theory is the termites will start in on that good wood in there and you will see them when it is checked monthly before you will see them in the house. And early warning system of sorts.

Have you tried DHL and FedEx? Maybe ask your bank manager who they use for a courier and how to arrange it?

The article really is describing economic volatility leading into suspect conclusion: higher score
indicates more misery. Even accepting that conclusion does not mean the converse is true, lower score equals
any degree of happiness
QUOTE: The ranking of 63 economies is compiled by adding a country's jobless rate and inflation,
a long-standing calculation in which a higher score indicates more misery.

It is also useful for signing up for utilities. For example, say you are married and the internet is in your wife's name. You can not go in by yourself and change your program. If the internet is in your name, you can upgrade it by yourself.

There seems to be somebody misinterpreting section 38 of the immigration act. The TM30 report is only needed once when the alien moves into the residence.
Section 38 : The house – master , the owner or the possessor of the residence , or the hotel manager where the alien , receiving permission to stay temporary in the Kingdom has stayed , must notify the competent official of the Immigration Office located in the same area with that hours , dwelling place or hotel, within 24 hours from the time of arrival of the alien concerned.There is certainly no requirement to report every time they leave the residence for more than 24 hours. I think there is misunderstanding or perhaps misinformation about what immigration is asking for.

How does this apply to those of us with a yellow tabien baan and returning from a trip overseas to the same residence? We report that address on our arrival form and we are not moving in, we are simply returning to our Thai "home of record".

Is there really... any advantage of applying for permanent residency .... Really seems like very little perks for the money paid out..
That is true. It just depends in your point of view and personal situation. Many factors might affect the decision to apply or not apply.
I had one immigration officer suggest that, given my age, I would be spending 2 to 3 times the annual visa renewal fee (assuming I died in the not too distant future). He recommended saving my money.

Thanks. I thought I had done due diligence in searching documents but missed this one. Now I understand.

In bold is what 3 is for. "(3) Humanity Reasons category: he/she must have relationship with a Thai citizen or an alien who already possessed residence permit as the followings:
Also this from http://www.immigration.go.th/nov2004/doc/residence/26122546_regulation_notice_en.pdf
"2.3.5 Child: To provide patronage or to be under patronage of the applicant’s father or mother who was granted with residential permit,"
Sorry, I misread that and my post #11 was off subject for the 2.3.5.
Back on the my original point: do you agree or not that the criteria allows a spouse of a Thai citizen to apply with no need for a work permit (i.e., retirees are eligible)?

Are just "talking" past each other and looking at different words?
My first quote was from the link in your first post. The quote below is from another immigration site that has the words you just quoted. I see your last post is one of the options under 2.3 Humanitarian, to wit., 2.3.5 a child. I am addressing 2.3.1 a spouse. I read paragraph 2) as stating there are 3 categories under which one can apply, anyone of which is acceptable. And Category 2.3 Humanitarian (the 3rd choice) offers 6 categories, again any one of which is acceptable.
2) Categories of application
2.1 Investment,
2.2 Employment,
2.3 Humanitarian reasons as follows:
2.3.1 Spouse: To provide patronage or to be under patronage of a Thai national spouse,
2.3.2 Child: To provide patronage or to be under patronage of a Thai national father or mother,
2.3.3 Father or mother: To provide patronage or to be under patronage of the applicant’s Thai national child,
2.3.4 Spouse: To provide patronage or to be under patronage of the applicant’s spouse who was granted with residential permit,
2.3.5 Child: To provide patronage or to be under patronage of the applicant’s father or mother who was granted with residential permit,
2.3.6 Father or mother: To provide patronage or to be under patronage of the applicant’s child who was granted with residential permit.
Certified as a true copy - ?

Really need more info. If you are sending it back to your home country's govt or bank, you likely need more than your own signature or the instructions would have said words to the effect "copy with your signature on it".
Yes, certain transactions here in Thailand only require a copy of your passport/ID with your signature on it to show you personally are making the transaction and that the ID copied is real. But that would not be "certified true copy" in the legal sense.
One time I was able to use my Bangkok Bank manager's certification on a form to mail back to the U.S. , but most of the time that has not been acceptable. A certified true copy means notarized as true copy and, for U.S. citizens , the notarization can only be made at the U.S. Consulate.
I imagine other countries have the same procedure.
