Keep 'ploughing' through Skyscanner

And use the various options through China ...( Although there are no 'reasonable priced' flights back to UK for a week or so

I did see a couple of 'reasonable' routes

Bkk ....Karachi ....Karachi to London via Istanbul....

Also seen a route via Ashgabat

I see the flights via China are 'normal' prices from the 24th March onwards.....

Good luck ....

( I've been scrolling Skyscanner for days....hoping to get back to UK over the next
*****
days ....and those were the only 'reasonable priced' options I could find )

.....it was about extensions

Fly in, first visit, receive 60 days ( visa waiver ) ....which can be extended by 30 days,

Second visit ( by air ) receives another 60 days, but this second visit can only be extended by 7 days

giving a total of 157 days in any 12 month period

No extensions will be given to entering via a land border

and no leaving or returning on the same day....

Yeah....I transfer mine around the start of each month, but not on the exact same date though

As an aside for my yearly extension my immigration office ....( Prachinburi ) Require.....the proof of income from my embassy.....which has to be 'stamped' at the Thai Consulate.....

Up to date ( that very same day ) bank book

Letter from the bank, confirming the overseas

Monthly bank transfers

Photos of me ( with my Thai girl ) inside and outside our home

As well as a diagram showing the location of the house within the neighborhood.....

....I came in ( about 3 years ago ) on my second passport, having been in and out several times already ......after a few short seconds, the Immigration Officer looked up at me .. and said very quietly ....two passports?..... I nodded,

He smiled and stamped me in ....

So, as you say ...they know.... instantly
