@Steve *******

your initial explanation is a very good one. But suggestion of extention is not. They may or may not ask for the 500THB fine. As said offer humble apologies and pay the fine.

@Cliff ********

these days the airlines charge heavy fees to change anything. No easy way. For one day, they won’t eat you. Offer apologies in the Thai manner and pay the 500THB required per day overstay.

@Наталья **********

yes, but one day shows good intentions and not an on purpose act. When overstays are longer, yes it can possibly prevent you from entering Thailand for a long time if ever, depends on the abuse.

offer apologies and pay the fine. It’s not uncommon that people make mistakes. Any longer overstays can be a problem, like a week or more. Also changing your flight, even if available can cost you a very heavy fee. Even with a flexible ticket.

Thais love to drink too.

For those that didn’t enjoy a host of conversations with Ed Child’s yesterday. Basically started with inquiries about living in Thailand and the confusing visa opportunities and paperwork. The results were fun and interesting. The refreshing thing….almost zero trolls.

I would also like to thank Ed Child’s for such a heartfelt response. All the best to you sir.

given the poverty among Thais…It also gives young women opportunities to have a better life, grow and make a better future. Older men in many ways have a lot to offer, knowledgeable, experienced, need and want companionship.

After many years residing in one spot, who knew? Looks like you have it figured out?

As for me I’m older than you. I have a large extended family in Isaan. Love it and my fiancé.

All the luck, one never knows what’s ahead. I never had any idea my heart would be in Thailand. The old saying goes, “nothing ventured nothing gained”. I’ll add one, good or bad, a life well lived.

Ed Childs I’m curious, why are you leaving Brazil? Have you traveled to Thailand? Is it imperative that you leave at a certain time? If you are able to prepare your satisfactory entry time and stay,

ahead of time, it would be a lot less stressful. Making a permanent or semi permanent move involves a lot of preparation to tie up affairs and decide what’s the important basics to bring along. Thai paperwork isn’t the fastest process and unpredictable. If you do use an agent, research a good one.

Ed Childs pretty expensive, you can do the paperwork, your a teacher. Follow the Thailand embassy’s/ consulate official rules. This site is a lot of help, but don’t count on it fully. Good experienced teachers are always needed. Age perhaps, but worth a try. Do you speak Thai? Would be a big plus.
