[Bullman, the Norwegian killer and fugitive from Thai justice lands in Oslo on a false name and passport]

He himself said that he flew from Bangkok to Paris on a false passport.  So they had one last chance to catch him, but failed.  Most likely he will not be sentenced in Norway.  This is because the investigative material that will be sent from Thailand is too poor for the Norwegian police.

Has your extension of stay date changed (Stay Visa Expire date on form)?

No, it has not changed. But I guess there are some bugs in the system. Have mailed in the TM47 as well, always do that as a backup

 

[90 day report rejected]

I have submitted the 90 day report online many times. But this time they won't approve. I get a reply that the visa does not match what they have in the system about me (Non-imm) What is a bit strange is that in the online form there is no box that you can tick for Non-imm or tourist visa. Either the people at immigration don't know about this mistake or they only pass it to be nasty

[Why are westerners so offended over the word farang? Get over it.]

Because the word farang refers to all white people

( Farang (Persian: فرنگ) is a Persian (and Southeast Asian) word that originally referred to the Franks (the major Germanic tribe) and later came to refer to White Europeans in general. The word "Farang" is a cognate and originates from Old French: "franc". )

Why do pakistanians get so offended when called <deleted>?? Why does sout European get so offended when called Dego? And when do black get so offended when Negro?

[On Line 90 day reporting 14/06/2021]

Fantastic that online reporting is working.  My 90 day is due today 15.06, but i not trust online reporting or Thai immigration, so i always send 90 day by registered mail. 

Becsuse when i try to do online, i got a pop-up telling me i am on 95 days overstay. 95 days back in time i did my extention based on marriage. But they 90 system might not got the info 

[AIS users - keeping number & validity period?]

Just top it up at the orange machine outside 7/11 and elsewhere. 12 Bath gives you 1 month, you can top it up for 1 year by repeating this, then the coast will be 12x12 Bath for a year = 144 Bath

[Daytime riding]

I ride around 08:00 in the morning everyday, from 50-100 Km. Drinks around 2-4 liter. Not have too much problem about the heat, but i do sweat a lot. But not too much from my forehead. So it really does not bother me 

[Temperature checks at MRT and public parks]

Lumpini is <deleted>.  Will not let people enter without a mask. Inside the park, most people take of their masks, even the people working there. But ofcause you must were it when you enter, because that is the message they got. Thai logic.....

[Who's still getting out to ride their bike?]

I ride my bike in central Bangkok everyday.  I do not see the problem with riding in the streets. 

[Immigration say they are doing all they can as petition gets signatures]

I was at Cheang wattana today to pick up my 1 year stay permit after the 30 day under consideration.  Used only 30 minutes. But the social distancing is not working. 3 of 5 seats are barred.  But people are standing in groups. 

[Have you gone to a public park in Bangkok lately?]

Lumpini park is open as usual. I was there today

[A domestic flight with a Thai driver's licence]

I have used my Thai driverlicens and pink ID card.  No problem

[“Don’t complain about our English, If you can’t speak Thai” - sign at restaurant goes viral - again]

I am not a native english speaker, So i can complain about thair english. I had to learn english at school andat my own. Because i want to comunicate with people around the world. So if they can not speak english, they are just lazy

[Grab Pay Wallet Unavailable to foreigners]

Because the contract between Grab and Kasikorn say that only people holding id card starting with 1 are aligable to use Grab wallet. So that mean no forigner unless you are holding a blue Id card

[New TM30 requirement at Chaengwattana]

Just did my 90 day report online yesterday.  Not other documents required. Do not know if you go there in person. But online or by registered mail, the requirements are same as it always have been.

[Source of income refused by immigration]

Went back to immigration on friday with my income letter from embassy.

At Chaeng Wattana we got our Q-nr and told the officer that we came back after we got reused on wednesday. 

We got called in to the officer long time before my Q-nr was on the Q-nr board. 

The officer did not speak with me or my wife, no interview or nothing. All paper was good, becuse she checked 2 days before. But she said loud and clear in Thai when we left that i should not hurt her same as last time. Make all thai speakers look at me. ( I was just angry at her, and asked questions 2 days before. Did not hurt her. But she might felt hurt because i asked too much)

 

So anyway  i hope i get stamped for a year on 1 March when my 30 day under consideration period is over.

And i have to add that i did this 42 days before my stay permit is expiering

At this time that may be up to the discretion of the immigration officer in charge.

Did you have a full year of international transfers to show?

Yes, I had a full year of transactions meeting the requirement for extention. The bank letter shows detail every transaction from abroad. I did complain on the spot, and was advised to  boss in the L section. She spoke a lot about I could not use this type of income. Only letter from embassy or 400 000 in the account for 2 months prior to extention

What country are your from?... 

Norway. So I got told by immigration to go to the embassy and get the income guarantee from them

[Source of income refused by immigration]

Went to Chaeng Wattana today for my extention based on marriage. Wanted to try the 40 000 transfered from abroad method. But immigration told me it could not be used as source of income, as my embassy still give guarantee of my pension. I really not understand why they refuse to let me use that method to show my income. 

[looking for a bank in bangkok to open account . They all refuse.]

Just go to your embassy and register your address. Get it printed and stamped. The bank just want to see you are living in thailand. I just did it for a friend who even did not have a visa, just stamped in for 30 days.  Kasikorn or bangkok bank from asoke to Nana .

[Pink ID card & Yellow tabian baan - Who can get it?]

I have been living here for 10 year at the same rented adress, been married for the last 5 years and are on extention based on marriage. In contact with 2 different Amphur in Bangkok, the answer is the same. I get told that i have to buy house or condominium.

As far as i understand Thai law, are the Amphur obliged to register all long term foreigners living in Thailand. 

My understanding of people working in the local district offices and most other places as well, does not like foreigners and does not want to assisit or help with anything.
