@Kim ********
your situation sounds quite normal. Why I am asking is my situ is not normal. Some technicalities I am unclear would be a problem or not. Doing something to go around the problem is not a good solution. 👍

@Brett ********
is living within a military compound cheating? This is what I’m trying to evidence! Is this a problem?!?

Besides its physical location it’s a family home, not barracks or enlisted quarters, a house paid for my the occupants. 🤷‍♂️

Generally there is supposed to be a tm30 submitted for every place we stay. So staying in a hotel and reusing that when not there is fraud.

I am a strong believer in anything that can go wrong, will go wrong so I never play the edge. Simple as that. 👍

I know ‘how’ it works, the problem is ‘if’ it works.

I’ve never used online reporting, I shouldn’t ‘need’ to use it due to cheating. I’m not a rule breaker.

I appreciate your input none the less. 🤗

@Kim ********
why? I need to check in every 90 days like have done for a couple of years. 🤷‍♂️

I’m just not seeing the hotel thing? If it’s wrong that I stay there, then I won’t. Not interested in breaking rules or cheating.

So the key is if they have a blue book it should be fine?

@Marianne *******
no, my visa has no relevance. It’s a standard 90 day checkin, it’s the situation that’s different.

@Sasi ***********
no it’s a house on a base but the house is not provided by the military. It’s owned (I think) by two enlisted officers.

@Brett ********
going to a hotel every 90 day seems a bit fraudulent.

I don’t even know IF it’s a problem, that’s why I’m asking. 👍
Brian *********
I’ve never done it. Over a couple of years of seeing people have problems for one reason or another I’ve just never bothered. Sort of like having to go to
****
to pay water/electricity bills. I know done is done and I have proof in hand when it’s done.

Nothing wrong with online, I just don’t trust anything without absolute confirmation.

Noticing how something that represents existence with no pacification needing a name? That’s how foreign it is? 🤣

“What should I do? Nothing. 😳”.



Fwiw collectively IG and tic Tok are probably the worst representations of Thailand life publicly posted I’ve seen so hopefully you’re preparing in other ways. 😉
