with all due respect, but I speak from experience that some immigration offices, such as the difficult one in Nonthaburi, also want 1 month after the application. they claim that this amount is also included when providing the actual extension after the 1 month "under consideration" stamp
ok, you have a point. I shall be just the only lucky one then who married a Thai woman for almost 10 years and still need to give her my first dime. As a matter a fact, she makes more money then me.
