James M Plower I have found the Female Officers to be the best for me. . A few years I was departing and had not been out in years and a Make Officer claimed I had Overstated even though I had continues Extensions of Stay based on Retirement. A Female Senior Officer sorted it out in short order
apologized and had me in my way.
Last Visa Extension I had a female officer and actually had fun joking around in my very poor Thai. All my paperwork was in order and I was in and out in less then a hour. She even did, without me asking, my 90day early ( I had no form prepared) which I had planed to do as normal at a local mall I shop in anyhow.
When renting the country always asked a Female Officer if I could go though the Thai line with my wife never refused so I'll stick to females.
I use monthly deposits for my retirement extension so no big depoist, money tied up, and hassle free.
Did mine today, for my 21st year and my Immigration Officer was actually fun making good fun of what to call me when I objected to Popa I kidded back using alternatives Thai Names used by my relatives. Stress free!
for me at 76 outrages price however I'm 100 Percent covered on my major medical problem, presumed caused by government service and 75 on the rest but by my Government not a insurance policy. For me a total waste of money to have what is a worthless paper to me.
Yellow Book in 2004 and Pink Card when it became available and over the years well worth it! Building my second home here in

the Engineering Firm threw the Yellow Book paperwork in with all the Amphoe paperwork a new home needs so no cost. Build and moved a couple more times and easy to change the Yellow Book at no cost each time
