190802 It's the next best thing to ankle tracking bracelets

Expats beware:  If you travel and stay overnight in a hotel or guest house, that facility is required to report your whereabouts. You must now fill out form 30 when you return home.  Can be done online. Violators will be fined.  It's the next best thing to ankle tracking bracelets which had been talked about a few years ago.

Haven't seen any official statements, yet I suspect dengue is on the rise locally. Know of a number of people hospitalized.

Tropical depression may dump some tropical rains locally starting Saturday, heavier on Sunday. It may lose a lot of momentum once it hits land near Hanoi later today




Tried the hot spoon trick and it definitely takes the sting out.  I still prefer to treat a mosquito bite as a pimple, break it open and drain the fluid out and dab it with some alcohol









Moved the holiday calendar into a scroll bar above. Will add to it in the coming days.

If you've been in Thailand for a while
I know you will say: "I've seen worse."


I have too 



The majority of the spaghetti is telephone and internet cable. Most of the telephone lines are probably not in use anymore, thanks to mobiles.    
Keep an eye out during stormy weather, some of those loose wires can get looser.

Thai one year visa extension for retirement

 
Just completed my thirteenth one year visa extension, all done in 20 minutes at Sakon Nakhon Immigration office.   
Was the first one after lunch, so no waiting period. 
One thing wrong with the posted requirements (bottom of the page) "must have 2 copies of all documents is incorrect."  Only one copy required.  I did furnish a copy of the house book page listing my address.

Starting on my thirteenth year in Sakon Nakhon

Getting ready to apply for another year long retirement visa.  Asked what documents I'd be needing to see if there are any changes from last year.  I was shown the requirements posted on the wall.  In past years a letter from my bank, copy of house papers and ID card of house owner were required.  Don't see these items on the list.   
But then there is that sentence "Immigration officials reserve the right to request additional documents."  Guess I'll go in a day before with the listed documents and have them tell me what else they want to see.   
The obvious change seems to be that every document has to be in duplicate

90 day report online

During my last 90 day report at the immigration office, the officer on duty was quite blunt that I use the online reporting procedure.
A few things to keep in mind: 
  • Online registration can only be done with Internet Explorer at this time.   
  • Registration online must be done 7 to 15 days before your actual due date. Less days remaining must file their report at the immigration office
Example from user Guide.

User Guide download and online application Internet Explorer only
