What should I do if my post about visa issues generates confusion and off-topic discussions?
Okay, seeing as that topic posted by Nilton, ran wild (in my opinion) I deleted it. :O
Nilton, once you get the real story as far as what visa she had, how long it was good form, when she entered the country, if she exited and re-entered the country without a re-entry permit etc feel free to make a new post.
I will caution members of this group to stay on topic and not turn these threads into a pissing or slagging match. This is a group to exchange information about visas and extensions to thailand, not to debate the pros and cons of living here.
I am sorry if it seems I'm being heavy handed. :/

Visum issues are an essential part of our life here. Incomplete stories & wrong alarming information, makes us sick, SKIP THEM.

I thank you too. I missed what you deleted but have been really disheartened by the ridiculing & rudeness on many of the sites. Fun is fun, but a lot of what I have read is downright rudeness & ignorance to responses of people who genuinely require an answer, no matter how dumb or naive the question is to many.

...and an incredibly helpful and on-topic group this is..thanks to
@Tod ********
and all the others here that give their time to help people. 😊😊😊

OPAlas, it appears we are never to know the real story. It's comin' to the O/P from another friend of the person who was denied.
There is just too much missing information for me to believe all of it.
I am not saying it didn't happen, I'm saying that the story as it exists no is not gonna make it onto the group because it's gonna do nothing but cause a shit-storm :O

, i don't know how much I helped you because no matter what the actual rule is if the officer stamping you into the country wants to see 20K baht to stamp you in on a 30 day visa exempt, you either show her or you don't get stamped in. :/Nilton *****************
And tod helped me :) instead of 20k thb i ATM now 10k was big time help as i was misinformed! Have to get it 2 times for my partner 40k difficult in 2 days via ATM

You can't be expected to help everybody, all the time, Tod...you tried and that is all anyone could ask.

OP@Nil***
, you were tryin' to give information you had, there is no fault in it at all. :) It's just we didn't have all the information we needed to make sense of the story is all.This group is about sharing the information we get and have.
Nilton *****************
My fault apologies for that !!

It's refreshing Tod. Please don't feel bad or guilty for cutting this blather off at the pass. All those folks yearning for an outlet for their petty beefs can go on "the other" Thai Visa and rail to their hearts' content.

seems like your getting your fair share of drama queens Tod...
