Well that's what you get in Pattaya.

Best way to be careful is don't use drugs. I get the impression by a few comments on here that maybe there are some Farangs into that scene. Hope I'm wrong. A bad name for some usually rubs off on others.

Used to be a problem until the ex. Prime Minister Thaksin Shinawat told the police to bring the dealers to justice. A lot of them were killed in ensuing police actions and border army actions. Deal with it in a hard way, don't pussy foot around it like they do in the Western countries.

@Paul *******

That is one of the reasons I would never consider staying in that place. Each to their own. I used to work with some guys, expats offshore who lived in Pattaya, they were into drugs of one sort or another. I stayed up in the North East in a rural community away from all that shite.

ok

I'd of thought that if an Embassy came back to someone to ask for proof they are still in the country they were in when they applied for the visa, there must of been something suspicious about the application in the first place. Just my thoughts and how do you prove your still in the country, send them a doctored photo of yourself with a distinctive background like the Taj Mahal, or Arc De Triumph.

Oh! I was under the impression that he was on a DTV. He said if my memory serves me correctly that he went to get a 180 day extension. As far as I understand only the DTV can be extended by this period.

I read here I think it was about a guy who'd supposedly been to Krabi immigration to get an extension in his DTV and he reckons he was asked for insurance, I presume if this was true, health insurance. Seeing as the DTV is classed as a tourist visa, which you don't need to have health insurance for, this seems strange. 🤔

Can you clarify what I think your comment infers. If you leave in your visas fifth year after doing 180 days, plus having obtained a final 180 day extension. Say if you left after say 170 days, then returned before your visa expiry date, then you'd get another 180 days, plus a further 180 day extension, so in fact you'd get nearly six years out of your original five year visa? 🤔
