So can you extend a 30 day exempt after extending it another 30 days? I thought I read they got stricter on this? X

@Klaus ********
great thank you 🙂Jodie ******
@Klaus ********
Sorry I’m unsure on difference - I came from UK without a visa for 30 days and have extended it a further 30.Klaus *********
@Jodie *****
You entered with the 30 days Visa exemption, have done your tourist extension and can now apply for a Covid extension. Important to know that the tourist extension which you already got is never denied , but the Covid extension might not be granted why everyone should have a plan B, just in case ....

It is only a great thing to learn another language but looks like some people don't see that way, small world for them ;)Pascal ********
@Wilmont *****
If you can write Thai as good as the person who did the sign, bravoWilmont ******
@Pascal *******
As an English Language Teacher in Thailand for 20 years and worked for and under Thai Teachers with Masters Degrees in English with less knowledge then the Primary School students. They all won’t ask anyone for help or if what they’re writing is correct. Oh by the way I do know Thai and will ask Thais for help.Pascal ********
@Dimitri *******
Like I said typical Dutch behavior Ha Ha , welknow most arrogant people on earth
Dimitri ********
@Pascal *******
And what I wrote about Thai also goes for the French. Most have no education and do not speak English.Pascal ********
@Dimitri *******
Typical Dutch reactionDimitri ********
@Pascal *******
It was not a stupid comment. I am Dutch. English is not my native language. I don't expect anyone to learn Dutch. It's a waste of your time. Even if you live in the Netherlands. I don't plan to learn Thai either. Waste of time, I have better things to do. You can expect Thais who write something for tourists to speak English. That is not the case, but it is something you should expect. To me they are just stupid uneducated people. Even if I spoke the Thai language I wouldn't be interested in talking to someone who has so little education that he doesn't speak English.Pascal ********
@Wilmont *****
Yes correct they will not ask for help but a stupid comment was made tell that Thai language is useless so , asking that person to write or read Thai before making any stupid remark

@Pascal *******
i can, just paste it to google translator 🤔😉

@Pascal *******
well and deserved to be said 🙏Dimitri ********
@Pascal *******
No reason to learn Thai. Outside of Thailand it is a useless language.

@Pascal *******
. people dont seem to understand that concept. Lot of the time the same people who can't or won't learn to speak Thai are the same ones who complain about immigrants in their home country who dont learn the native language or ''assimilate"....but they never seem to see the irony....the very same folks who scream about multiculturalism being bad in their own countries, have no problem coming here and simply refusing to learn a lick of the local tongue/have no interest in learning about the culture they are living in.Pascal ********
@Dimitri *******
Right but if you live here and learn Thai, you life will be more easy,

@Wilmont *****
be happy that they at least try to put something up in English.Activity
