Yep wouldnt be surprised if it's doable. Certainly worth trying. But no one knows because the alleged 1.5 year restriction was only bought into effect 2 years ago, your friend already had ed visa 3 years before it stopped being easy.

Jeans / trousers, t shirt, shoes, smart casual. No exposed skin like vest, shorts, flip flops etc. Many immigration buildings in SE Asia don't allow those when you extend your visa, even in the Philippines. So do the same at borders. Common sense. Plain white top ('look clean like good guy na').
Shave, haircut, etc.

Usually you don't get to choose, has to be home country and you pay for their jail cell too until your flight, 700 baht/day. A poster here got lucky and got to fly to Laos. They suggested that, the guy worked for Laos airlines so prob got a commission. You probably can't choose. I'm guessing you wouldn't be able to receive belongings, no, you'd be unreachable in that part of the airport. They'd likely say come back with proof of funds / proof of occupation / an appropriate visa, and get your stuff then.

Is P.P Body massage in Pattaya any good? I've hit up the "sabai" ones, honey1 and honey2. Any other spots I'm missing? Pooter? Jspill?

Don't think I've ever tried p.p massage, give it a go and let us know.

Nevermind, just went. Very good
Giant tits on the lot of em

Price for how long?

bare back bj?

2000 for the ones with a red badge, 2500 for blue. Or maybe it was vice versa.

Like an hour, bj with a condom but was surprisingly good. She used some special type I think cause she switched to a different condom when we banged

Thanks

Sorry if this is answered elsewhere.

I'm a US citizen currently residing in Thailand.

I'd like to play online. At a site that won't have issues cashing out and has a lot of players.

To get money on I have US creditcard, bank, or paypal. I could also do bitcoins or other options if necessary.

What site is my best bet? And what hoops do I need to jump through to deposit/withdraw.

Just sign up as you would in the US then play from thailand, e.g. americas cardroom with bitcoin, then trade bitcoin for baht. Doesn't matter that you're on Thai IP, that only matters if attempting to deposit with a Thai bank card

This is the nut low. Seriously, what is the point in a bj with a condom? And for 2500 baht. FML.

Don't knock it till you try it, soapy massage feels really good

BJ with a condom is so I don't catch dirty diseases from your mother, 2500 baht is because I feel sorry for her.

BOOM!

Is there a way to play on sites like partypoker or 888? I haven't been able to put money on there because my American creditcard is blocked.

I set up a skrill account after moving out of the US in order to open partypoker account. Its a bit more complicated now and there are probably better options but something to consider

I will be moving to Thailand in July with my girlfriend who will be teaching and have a 1 year non-immigrant B visa. We will be living in Chiang Mai.

For me as an American who has lived outside of the US for 5 years now, what is my best method to stay in Thailand for 2 years. My current understanding is I have 3 options but I assume poker players have maybe figured out a way around complications. Please shed some light on my best options below or anything else I need to consider

1.) 6 month tourist visa where i need to leave the country every 2 months but do not have to reapply for a a visa during this 6 month period
2.) if i am married i can get a 1 year visa extended onto my girlfriend/wife work visa
3.) 2 month tourist visa where i need to leave the country and reapply for another 2 month visa at a Thai embassy outside of Thailand

Other helpful information is where people go for their border runs if they are leaving every 2 months. How complicated is this? Does anyone ever get denied (I have no criminal record and i have health insurance, money to support myself)

As said Skrill, or neteller, or entropay, ewallets like those. Neteller is the one that most use, deposit onto it with a thai bank card. It can be a bit of a nightmare so some players do swaps with other 2+2ers, baht for poker site funds, to get money on. Then verify a thai address on the site and withdraw by wire to their thai bank. Withdrawing is a lot easier.

1) It's 3 months that you can stay at a time on that 6 month visa. You don't need to leave every 2 months. You get 2 months as you come in, that's why it's confusing, but you can extend that to 3 months at an immigration building. Then leave and come back in without the need to reapply for a visa,
correct, and do the whole process again. But you can then do it a third time if you leave and reenter just before the 6 months validity is up, to squeeze almost 9 months out of it. The '6 months' label refers to it's validity not the maximum time you can stay. So you'd get 60 days on entry, extend to 90, take a holiday for say 3 days, come back in you're now 93 days into the validity, get another 90 days, but leave after about 80 and make sure you reenter 179 days after the valid from date (which is on the visa sticker), and you'd get a bit less than 9 months out of it. And you'd apply for this visa in your home country at nearest thai consulate, or by mail (would lose a couple days in thailand if by mail, as the 6 month validity starts from the date they put it in your passport, not the date you enter thailand)

2) if you plan to break up with your gf and marry a thai hehe then yes at that point you'd be able to apply for a 90 day non O visa which you'd then extended for a year, then repeat each year. it has to be a woman of thai nationality. marrying your western gf that is a teacher sadly doesn't get you any visa based on her having a work visa, i'm pretty sure. check on thaivisa.com forum

3) you mean 60 days of visa-free travel, which consists of entering with no visa, not having applied for anything, and getting a 30 day visa exemption stamp, then extending that at an immigration building to 60 days

yes people get denied, we were just talking about that like 20 posts ago

you should get an education visa imo (study thai at a language school) in chiang mai that'd be the easiest way to stay a year, they have self defence classes too that come with a year visa, google chiang mai hand to hand combat school, prob more fun than sitting in class. just self teach yourself thai.

enter on 30 day visa waiver, extend to 60, then apply at the school, find out how long the paperwork takes, time it so you leave at the 60 days, holiday to laos to get the visa, come back in, so total 14 months. or enter on the 9 month plan so total is 2 years

not much to worry about with getting denied if you're only planning to stay 2 years, and 1 of those is an ed visa, will be very doable. your lack criminal record and health insurance don't matter, just money, being prepared to show 20k baht in cash (cash only) at borders meets their requirements for that. but you won't be asked on an ed visa

If you're married and she is on a WP with year visa then you will be able to get a spousal B visa that run concurrent to hers. My friend is married to a Russian chick whom has had a WP since 2010 and he lives there fulltime on the back of that, still has to do 90 immigration checks but never visa runs.

Won't work if she is just your GF tho.

Might celebrate my B-day in a casino in Laos
A) Is there any poker there?
B) Hot chiks?

Visa related stuff, i just did my 2nd extension. And always used visa on arrival stamp.
C) Is it easy to get a 60 day for a border run in Laos?!
D) Any easy tips?

Interesting, reading about it now seems he'll need a non O visa first to get it extended on that basis, so @rivers apply for that before coming

If she is just your girlfriend you can still get the marriage visa, just marry the first hooker that you end up cheating on your missus with.

That way you can also tell your missus you were just consummating the relationship per immigration's request.

it's not cheating if you're paying the hooker

using plan 1 you say you can get a further 3 months at the end of the 6 for a total of 9, but people are running into problems when doing this method?

what is the most problem free long term when using the 6 month visa? how long should we go to another asian country at end of the 6 months and wait before re-applying for new 6 month?

and just make sure to always have 20k baht on us when entering?

People run into problems doing several visas / visa exempts back to back for about a year or longer. You mostly likely wouldn't be denied over the course of squeezing out 9 months from a 6 month visa, because it's all the same visa.

In terms of doing 2 of them in a row, no one knows how long to wait between each. But definitely more than 1 night in Cambodia. I've done 7 exempts in a row by staying out 2-3 weeks between each one and going to different countries each time. May have just been lucky though.

To do another 6 (9) month visa you'd have to go to your home country, they don't let you apply for that visa type in another asian country.

The shortest time period I've seen someone run into problems is after 10 months in thailand, he did 60 days on exemption, then flew to vietnam, returned 5 days later with single entry, did 3 months. He then flew to vietnam again, same consulate, returned after 5 days. They interrogated him for an hour but he did get let in, he was with his Thai gf.

The earliest someone was denied and deported from the airport was 1.5 years if i recall. He didn't have the 20k baht and prior to that had always been going Cambodia for like 1-2 nights.

So you just have to guess based on that. Or avoid airports completely, they can't deport you from a land border.

is this why i see all the vloggers going to udon thani now?

im not seeing a big difference from the quasi 9 month visa and just getting the tourist visa, seems you need to leave the country just as often no?
