TLDR : Answer Summary
A user in Phuket describes a loud blue bird that resembles a kingfisher and often makes a sound similar to "hi hi hi." While seeking identification, they receive suggestions and links, with one comment indicating it may be a river kingfisher. However, some comments humorously misconstrue the question linking it to non-immigrant visas.

Rather than asking in a Thai visa forum, you might be better off asking here.

 any question goes ok here that’s why there’s “and everything else” but I was merely pointing out that an alternative group may have a better knowledge base being specifically about Thai creatures than Thai visas.
