@Tod ********

is indeed a life saver. So many of us owe our stays to his seemingly endless ability to keep up with the latest regulatory twists and turns and to repeat the same helpful hints over and over. What is beyond ridiculous, however, is Immigration's ever increasing web of complex hoops that require jumping through. A home visit? To your place in Chiang Mai? How is that "typical?" Many people who stay here legally tell me it's as though T'land doesn't really want them here anymore. Some have thrown up their hands at the confusing and inconsistent regulations (depending on your local Immigration office) and left for more welcoming countries. This country loses out in the end because digital nomads and others generate LOTS of much needed income for many SME sectors.

The fact that the agents can still receive special treatment is an indication of how screwed up the system remains.

You should leave more often. Look at the outpouring of love and affection your departure elicited. 🤣😍

Do NOT spend too much of your short time back home after so many years worrying about what's going on here. Try to stay in the present moment and enjoy it as much as you can. Whatever happens here is gonna happen whether you're here or not. Safe and happy trails to you!!! (Besides, barely two weeks is a drop in the bucket of life.)

Journalists get these at BOI too. (At least they did when I was one, and I think they still do.)

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.

The report feature under "more" says "report group". Is that the one you mean?

Told you sooooo!!!!!

Totally agree.
