@Anna ****

They almost all either run out of money or just give up and go home!

They won't implement anything that makes life easy for unwelcome FARANGS!

@Graham *****

I would gladly do that if I still had that passport but it was quite a while ago and I don't have it now.

Look I posted this as a matter of interest so who the hell are you to say it's impossible and imply that I am a liar! You sir are a fool and obviously don't understand how Thais do things sometimes.

@Andreas ********

My visa ended at midnight on the 12th and my return flight was 1am on the 13th it's that simple, don't try and disect it because I'm telling you that's what happend! They were on a mission because it wasn't just me they pulled there were lots of us all complaining but to no avail, if you have lived here for any length of time you will know that they have no logic to their decisions at times!

@Andreas ********

They pulled me and other people to one side and informed us we had overstayed because our flight out didn't leave until 1am as I said I pointed out that I had gone through passport control at 10 pm so had officially left the country, this was at about 10. 15 pm so it wasn't even past midnight but they wouldn't listen and the stamped 'overstay' in my passport! You cannot win with them no matter what you say.

They once stamped me as overstayed because my flight back was 1 am and they said my visa ran out at midnight! I tried to tell them that I went through passport control at 10 pm so had officially left the country at that time, they wouldn't have that but very graciously let me off the overstay fine!

Talk about making it obvious we're not welcome here, soon we'll need a condo and 5 million in the bank just for a tourist visa!

@Jai *********

I'm not saying don't come, I lived here for 12 years I'm just saying feel you're way around first and make sure it's right for you also I worked here legally with a work permit so no need for the endless visas you have to do to stay here but good luck!

Just come for an extended holiday first. Thailand isn't what you see in the brochures you can get conned, ripped off, left penniless the list is endless but you need to try it out first!
