Or maybe it's coming in from Cambodia that is the issue, I read a lot of people have problems in that spot. Maybe they associate Cambodia = not tourist, because it's the cheapest visa run spot

Happened to a poker guy recently, flew in from Phnom Penh and got interrogated for 1 hour, then finally let in

Does your passport have any sort of black or red stamp?

unless it has the official banned stamp would bet dollars to dogs poo that if you fly into bkk you get in absolutely fine. Sounds to me you had an over zealous officer who got a hard on for you for some reason.

Did you give him bad eye?

Shisha on walking Street for sure. Had some in club partying with some whore a few weeks ago think it was "pier disco".

Thai Elite visa is the best way to go if you're living here and not legally employed. Not only is there no BS coming and going but you get a lot of nice VIP perks.

No you said Thailand is clamping down on us (online workers) for abusing tourist visas. They aren't - he told them he worked online and they let him in. They're clamping down on people working in Thailand (illegal tour guide, boiler room, etc.)

There is no published limit on using tourist visas you just need to prove you aren't working here.

I PM'd BKKYOLO for more info, he only ever spends a couple days at a time out of Thailand every visa run. Since 2014 this kind of short duration trip triggers an automated 'out/in' alert. Combined with Cambodia, the cheapest destination, it looks like someone working in Thailand (low salary).

I usually spend 2-3 weeks outside and mix up the countries, sometimes 2 countries at a time, like bkk->manila->saigon->bkk.

It's also possible to get unlucky and catch an an overzealous officer on a bad day. Looks like he did, and I've been running good (7 years). But even still, he got let in and there's no official restrictions.

Now that he's been let in, I think he can safely just continue. He tells me there's no stamp/mark/note in his passport. It's most likely just a moody officer trying to save face when he told him 'don't come back for long time' after letting him in.

I don't think he specifically is 'on their system', otherwise I'd be by now. I think it's just the 2 day trip to Cambodia that triggered an automated alert.

True but 500k buys a lot of hookers in neighbouring Asian countries for those of us that didn't get married yet :P

Not married quite yet! Hell we haven't even scheduled the bachelor party yet. I expect to see you and Harvie there, Big Andy is throwing it so it will be a night of complete debauchery. Probably not til late August though.

did you marry a native?

lol69 don't you understand past present and future tense?

Skrill/neteller are real ****s. I could write paragraphs about their **** but you know, too lazy

I still need clarification in this.

Arrived in BKK staying hotel first few nights viewing places from airbnb, not found anything great and everythig seems way overpriced.

Does anyone know anyone or any way to get around renting the long term residential type apartments on a short term deal. We are mainly looking for something around the thonglor area for 4-6 weeks. Have found a few but no luck with short term deals.

Appreciate any feedback

Dont live together, get a studio/1 bed each in the same condo. Easier to find short term and cheaper

Rungaroon mansion do short term, thats thonglor

entropay or p2p transfer ( but i assume u want deposit bonus)

I need baht, give stars or bank transfer (cad) + 4% vig.

i'm gonna get a 30day visa extention at the immigration office, i checked that you need a copy of different stuff (ID page of passport and departure card and page of the passport with the 30day visa)
Do you have to do these copies on your own or you can you just them do this at the immigration office ?

there are lots of copy- shops in front or next to every Immigration- office. you can also make copys at almost every hotel or motorbike rental or whatever else that has a scanner and a printer.
but get the copys before you go into the immigration office

Downstairs in the basement level of the immigration office, if you mean Chaeng Wattana Bangkok. Photocopy machines, photos, etc.

If your doing it BKK just go downstairs from the immigration office where 711 and the restaurants are at there's two shops that'll hook up cheap for all your passport stuff.

okay thanks

I didn't check which office to go already, i saw that there's one near don muang but Chaeng Wattana will do as well
here right ?
