Sandy Bien. Often the only way to get the correct information is to go to your immigration office and ask for it, as some operate with subtle differences. I actually believe the OA insurances from next October will become more competitive as the 40k outpatient component has been removed, and this is what caused many insurers and insured great angst, as immigration would not accept "unlimited" values but needed to have the 40k specified

Bangkok still wants the TM30 if you've been interprovincial. That's why (where I can) get my lady to register whenever we go away. I always tell her to tell the reception I do not want a receipt. That sometimes brings a lot of smiles

Frédéric Umar Letellier. That's a pisser when that happens. If I go away with the woman, I get her to use her ID to check in. I had one friggen night in Phuket and six months later when I went for extension they pulled me up on it at CW. They asked me when did I return to Bangkok.
