Well into 6 figures , maximum I counted is 24,000 pounds ? Lawyer will cost you more , retribution will cost you more , best course of action in my opinion is inform everyone in village , thai hate loosing face , as I’m sure your aware , but dishonesty worse , take the hit John but make sure villagers know ,. . I haven’t seen a farang for a month now and my thai still rubbish lol , good luck

Hi Brian , just looking at comments first , various agreements , anyhow , as a foreigner you required to carry passport or Id , usual stuff , photo of passport and paper copy in your wallet . I’ve flown numerous times with Bangkok air from samui to Bangkok , always had to show my passport , they insist , never really flown with them elsewhere , flown various other places , many with Thai smile and not really had a problem , used my ID ,

Brandon as usual gives good advice , this week someone posted the web link for the online application , maybe find that ? Anyhow this I what I do , and did this week , go with householder to local police station , take house book , your passport and ask for tm officer , usually special division as dealing with foreigners ,takes 10 minutes , it’s free but I make sure there happy and it saves me a couple of hours ride into Khon Kaen and back and a day lost and stressful , . I’m well aware that I could skip the tm30 but I want to keep everything legal as in and out all the time , enjoy your trip
