your welcome , I did an online search to compare the costs and options , the guy was waiting for me as soon as I got off the plane and took me to the immigration desk, and then was waiting for me after it .. took me to my baggage belt.. I explained I only needed the quick passport control as I had a flight to make , but he insisted on coming with me .. to be fair a very good service.

I've used it , no problems at all , you still go through immigration and get stamped the same , but next to the Thai passport holders .

not really as these districts and this type of visa has zero affect on me, but it does get a bit boring seeing grown men post pathetic comments like a little troll. You not agree?

@Greg **********

i wasn't speaking about you 🙏, apologies if read this way.. I mean in general and the stupid comment above.

@Greg **********

a good post apart from the wake up comment? What is the point in this statement? The original post has to move to a different location because life would be easier.? Or because you moved he should have to also? The guy has done this for 28 years! 28... so he knows his shit and posted to help.. not get trolled about living next to red light district and healthier environment!! That's the problem with Facebook, too many sad people can't wait to take their shitty day or life out online to someone who made a perfectly good post.

@Pertti ************

better off ignoring a trolling and judgmental comment like yours.

@Myles ******

that sounds like a pain in the ass.. would they not change the passport number for you electronically and let you print a cert off to use?

@Peter *********

I've been told otherwise from a thai / foreigners tax company in Bangkok.. get the the tax number and fill it in as blank if that is the case.. a lot is changing now with the banking systems and they are digging more than they have done before.. reading about the lad from OZ a couple of days ago , and how his bank in OZ were threatening to close his account at home if he never shared his thai tax number with them.

I am out and in all the time and no issues at all.

Changes to some locations.. Samui is having a few audits and everything checked very strictly.

Even getting documents sent to Surat Thani they have said that there is a new boss and they are making their own changes ..
