@Vincent *******

when I got bit those damn dogs that got me were not afraid of rocks. Everyday on my jog after I got bit I chased those stupid dogs around the 7-11 parking lot hoping for a clear background so I could throw my rocks at them. Intead it was just me chasing hoping to get close enough to get a good kick in.

Light miami on fire. Go stand a few cm from the fire. Thats bkk.

Ohhhh. I arrived with the same and about the same time. I would like to stay as long as possible or at least til October. But it seems like my options are limited to one choice according to your comments... 1- 30day extension after 45days. Damn I thought I saw somewhere a few months before I arrived that there were more options than just this.

Yah I saw a post earlier where it seemed practically everyone was commemting its no longer needed. And my very first thought was thats probably true but also maybe not everyone may have gotten the message so im bringing it anyway just in case.

@Steve ********

yes. Thanks. I have a flight booked for late wednesday to bkk. My plan was to fly up to istanbul early wednsday and get my pcr test then fly straight to bkk from there by way of doha. That plan also included flying up to istanbul or ankara on a 1 day round trip earlier this week if need be. That is if they would have given me some kind of timely response earlier this week. but at this point its all way too much. Even if they had responded today i would have flown in next monday or even tuesday to get it sorted before my wednesday flight. But there was nothing again today. So im going to push back my ASQ hotel reservation and my BKK flight. Its just going to be easier for me then the continually not knowing what the hell is going on and stressing over long delayed responses. You are probably right about Albania, the only advantage is not stressing over time. Albania is still visa on arrival for me. So i can jist relax for 4-6 weeks while waiting for response.

yea I tried to email both Istanbul and Ankara. they were very slow to reply to the emails but they did eventually reply. My new problem is that I registered for the COE made a mistake (was rejected) and tried to re-apply. On the second attempt, I never received my 6-digit confirmation code that I got on the first one. no matter how many times I re-enter the information. so I have no way to check the status. the only thing it says is that "your request is being considered". I thought the 6 digit code seemed like something that would be autogenerated. tried to call Ankara's phone number it seems like it just hangs up. so I had to send another email to Ankara asking if I have done everything correctly and if the 6 digit code is something comes later. so far of course no response. I think I'm going to give it to the end of the day but at some point, I have to make a decision and possibly just go to Albania for a month and apply from the Thai embassy in Albania, since I'm running out of time. my visa here in turkey expires next week.

yes I just now have the appropriate information from them. thanks for your response.

I'm currently in Izmir, Turkey. I am still willing to fly to either Istanbul or Ankara but I needed to make sure they would see me..... and wow. While I have literally been waiting a few days for response they both sent emailed me just now within the last couple minutes almost at the same time.

I plan on coming to Thailand by April. Are there any pickup futbol games around? Or FB group?
