Hi guys, I wonder if anyone can give me some advice. Is there anyone on here that has moved to Thailand from the U.K at all? Looking for some guidance on this matter if anyone can help. How difficult is this to achieve? The do’s and don’t’s as it were.

Hey guys, this is a grreat opportunity to help our expat community by donating your MUCH NEEDED blood PLUS you get a FREE lunch!

If you are in Thailand and have the right blood type, please donate your blood 🩸🙏🏻

O Negative blood donors sought 🙏

UPDATE;

URGENT request for O Negative blood donations for Bangkok Hospital Phuket until tomorrow morning.

If there are group members in Phuket that could donate before the patient flys by air ambulance tomorrow morning (Saturday 24th February,) his name is and reference is RUPERT GUY BARRETT, Bangkok Hospital, PHUKET, and they could take the units with him on the flight.

If there are group members in Bangkok city, that could donate ready for when he arrives for emergency heart surgery, his reference is RUPERT GUY BARRETT, Bangkok Hospital, BANGKOK.

Thank you so much for your kind consideration (and sharing by screenshot) of this appeal. Thank you.

We are hoping that members here might assist;

We have a good friend who is visiting Phuket and has become gravely unwell after 2 heart attacks these last days.

He needs (an unplanned) triple bypass, but he has an extremely rare blood group (O-negative) and there are only between 3 to 5 units (some imported from Singapore this last week) in the whole of Thailand. Not enough for the vascular surgeons in to even consider this surgery.

He is currently in The Bangkok Phuket Hospital and we could use some help regarding blood donations and who and where to ask for assistance regarding asking for further help finding blood donations (very rare O-neg) regarding this.

If you could spread this message, the patient reference is Mr Rupert Guy Barrett, care of Bangkok, Phuket Hospital and he may be in with a chance if any group members have or know somebody that has the rare blood group O Negative and might consider donating blood.

By all means, PM me if you would prefer.

Thank you in advance for any assistance. 🙏

COVID Extensions in Chiang RAI:

What is the procedure and the gotchas of COVID extensions in Chiang Rai? Specifically, do they apply that “under consideration” nonsense like in Chiang Mai, i.e. where they would waste ones valuable passport pages and time by stamping in a under consideration stamp first, and make you come back about 14 days later for another stamp of the remaining days? And is it busy these days? Else, where in the area / neighboring cities can COVID extensions be done smoothly and directly? Thanks.

Happy New Year to all of our members.

Hi

I m in Thailand with visa exemption for 45days and already get 30 days extension to the 23/03 . I like to get a 60 days covid extension visa but my embassy don t want to give me the letter required by Thai immigration.

Maybe somebody have the solution ?

Hello guys and girls,

I wanted to express my infinite gratitude towards the admins who day after day honestly stun me with the sheer amount of knowledge that they have, and the sheer determination to help others. You are great, and I've posted here once or twice but I do read up on most topics and your answers. I think it's useful for people living here to be aware of the overall visa conditions in Thailand. Not once or twice a post with Tod's answer has given me very valuable information that prevented me from making a visa/immigration mistake in the future.

With the above in mind, I know this is not a strictly visa related post, so you can lock it up, but I wanted to share a suggestion. I'm not sure what are the capabilities of running a Facebook group, but it would be immensely helpful if you "pin" a post on top, and let that post contain an FAQ with your answers on typical questions. For the sake of making your life easier (the admins), it's better to make a long "stickied on top" post with URLs from past posts where you very clearly given answers to common questions. I think by putting this on top, and asking each individual to go through the post before posting a question, will help you very much and cut down your work in half.

Thank you again for everything you're doing! We all appreciate it!

Hello, I applied for a 6 month ed visa, the date they told me to come back for my stamp is the date I was supposed to fly to Cambodia. I thought I seen in the mountain of paperwork I had to sign, that if I leave, I lose my visa. I started reading the past posts on re-entry permits but did not see a post regarding 6 month ed visas and re-entry permits(please forgive me if I missed it). Can I get a re-entry permit on a 6 month ed visa? If so, can I apply for it at immigration when I get my stamp? Thank you all, especially Todd and Robert for all you do for the community.
