Last time I went for an extension in Samui (early June), I was in and out in 18 minutes.

I’m not going to get into a stupid argument here. But I will tell you that I’ve been coming to Thailand 🇹🇭 most years for the last 40 years.

Nowadays, since I retired, I spend more time in Thailand 🇹🇭 than what I do in Australia 🇦🇺.

If you are going to be disrespectful again, I obviously won’t reply.

Why is everyone so unappreciative of Thailand 🇹🇭?

You are here, aren’t you? Or, you’re about to come here?

Just go with the flow and stop complaining, people!

This is a beautiful country and may not be run as Trump or Biden would run it - God help us all, if that was going to be the case!!!

Stop complaining and enjoy this beautiful country and it’s people 💕

Hi, I wonder what you need to show Immigration in order to obtain a residence certificate? I have rental receipts for the past two years. Would that be sufficient, even though I’m only n the country for 6-7 months each year at this point?

It totally depends on where you stay. People who talk about the place being ruined are likely to be talking about Chaweng - I wouldn’t stay there either!

I’ve been coming to South Lamai (near Hin Ta Hin Yai) for close to 40 years and I still love it! I often have the beach 🏖️ more or less to myself. Small restaurants around, obviously no nightclubs etc…

A 20 minute walk into Lamai where you will find more upmarket restaurants and also sports bars.

Jinta bungalows is in Taling Ngam, right? You won’t find any Burger King there! It will be very quiet.

Bang Kao is another quiet beach.

Some people like Choeng Mon, I don’t but it’s about personal preferences.

I’m sure you will have a lovely time in Taling Ngam!

Enjoy! ☺️

The way I understand it, it will happen but legislation just hasn’t been passed yet.

Train 🚆 from Surat Thani to Padang Besar, do the immigration stuff and catch a connecting train toward Penang.

Perhaps you can contact the embassy in the country where you live?

Generally, visa requirements vary from country to country.
