BREAKING NEWS:
Immigration crackdown on border runners

BANGKOK (thaivisa.com) -- Thai Immigration Bureau has issued a new regulation to be enforced from today, June 1, 2009.

In a crackdown on foreigners who regularly abuse the tourist exemption rule of getting 15 days stay at border entry points, the Immigration Bureau has confirmed and informed thaivisa.com of the following new regulation:

A foreigner who has entered the kingdom four (4) consecutive times on 15 days tourist exemption stamps, will not be allowed to leave the country and reenter Thailand. The only option is to exit Thailand and re-enter via an international airport, which will allow a further 30 day stay.

Thaivisa.com has today confirmed the new regulations with the Immigration checkpoints in Pong Nam Ron and Aranyaprathet at the Cambodian border. We have also got confirmation from bus visa run companies that the new regulations are enforced from today June 1, 2009. Immigration checkpoints bordering Laos, Myanmar and Malaysia are expected to enforce the regulation shortly.

The new rules does not affect holders of visas issued abroad. Foreigners are advised to apply for a Tourist visas or Non-Immigrant visas at a Royal Thai Embassy or consulate outside Thailand instead of abusing the 15 day exemption rule.

As usual, holders of Tourist visas will be given 60 days stay while Non-Immigrant visa holders will be allowed 90 days stay.

i'm far too drunk to figure out uif you're joking ornot, but that's a ****ign ridiculous amount to pay for electricity.

it is but it is doable. just keep a/c on 24/7 at 20C and windows/doors open and let the landlord overcharge you

You should ask the owner to forward you the electricity bill and just pay it yourself in your local 7/11, im stayin in a 2 story house and am paying around 4 to 5k a month, cant imagine what you guys do that you pay 14k a month.

And water is pretty much for free, think its like 300 baht a month for me.

There likely won't be a separate bill since the landlord would get billed for the entire complex rather than just 1 apartment at a time.

Nevertheless the landlord is completely taking the piss if he's charging 14000-19000 for electric and water lol.

its called the rockstar traetment..................lol!

I'm thinking of moving to bkk right after the series for 1-1.5 months before going to phuket. Is anyone have rooms available for that time or have any suggestions for accomidations?

you speak english like a thai girl

congrats!

could someone fill me in on aircard details? I almost bought one in mbk today but it seemed a bit cheap or off. Do you get that and a sub with dtac or ? Thanks!

Also any good 1 or 2 person places currently available in bkk phuket or chiang mao ? Looking now

chiang mao?

chiang mai accommodation is much cheaper than phuket

Just arrived in Chiang Mai. For you budget travellers, avoid the chicken curry on the train from bkk.

Best drinking/dancing spots? Disclaimer: brought girlfriend with me from home.

Edit: Grinding in Phangan, possible with semi-functional internet connection?

50 gurls to 10 guys makes for a horrible bar atmosphere! lotsa long faces on the gurls, no hansum rockstars to swoon over.


i hear rice picking jobs r filling fast in issan!

are chicks at regular jobs like restaurants or shops shipable/ fine-able in bkk?
has anyone ever tried it?
cauz i keep hearing about all these random fines but is that inclusive to bars and gogos? like can u pay fines directly to shops/ "normal-ish" places to fine/ship almost any chicks?

lol you think whole Thailand is one gigantic gogo bar or something?

seriously dude :/

if you ship a girl from McDonalds you owe Ronald McDonald 10 cheeseburgers

setting aside all the hookers, massage places, working girls, freelancers, semi-working girls, girls who u give a lot of taxi money to, etc. i'm just asking an open but serious question. why else would guys come from around the world to visit? it's the girls, in some way shape or form, even if it's not a full on "working one".

i think we answered that indirectly already

yes of course, girls are still girls.

plenty of people have tried and succeeded.

hahaha. there's hope for this thread yet!
