With the symptoms of Zika so flu-like and with most healthy people getting over it by just treating the symptoms anyway, I'd bet dollars to durian there are a LOT more cases than the government knows...

The Ë is NOT there! It's used in thai dictionaries which show phonemic thai spelling of multi-syllable words for tone purposes only..

UPDATE: Just a heads up.

I was out at the thai immigration office in the government complex Chaengwattana last week and they had the interns (the thai uni students wearing the red vests) handing...

You're correct, "real thai words" will almost all end in the "base ending consonant" for a group..

Unfortunately the thai language as it exists today is a hodge-podge of original thai, chinese,...

I am sorry this is long, perhaps it will be of value to you.. Believe me it reads more complicated than it is to use in real life.

The short answer to your question IS: you can't know 100% what...

I was at the main Thai Immigration office here in Bangkok out at Chaengwattana on Monday and again yesterday. I saw no evidence that the form was being used.

I checked for it at the following...

Anyone (other than me) notice how it wasn't even a blip on the local news here?

This might be of interest (or not).:oops:

It appears the overstay laws are being interpreted as they're written, at least at the airports in regards to overstays of UNDER 90 days.

That is an OLD flyer. The thai immigration office at Chaengwattana started handing it out back in early 2015.

They were making EVERYONE who was purchasing a re-entry permit fill out a TM.30. I...

It would appear the operative term in the article is these penalties are being "considered".. This certainly means they are NOT laws (yet)!!

Sorry guys, I couldn't edit the above post.. It was published in the Royal Gazette on the 14th of Sept, but it was signed off on by Prayuth on the 28th of July..

Okay, after googling around a TON tryin' to find the listing in the Royal Gazette I did find this which was published in there way back in July.....

Good point Richard,

Never the less, it's NOT so much being on overstay (which isn't all that good) which causes foreigners problems here, NOR is it clearing an overstay at Thai Immigrations, the...

Just a quick Google showed how futile an undertaking like that would be;

As Curt pointed out, it's a TOURIST visa, not a means for foreigners to live here gaming the system. :butbut:

You know what's crazy is they've handed that form (and three more) to everyone I've ever 'shepherded' thru at Chaengwattana.

As I mentioned NONE of those forms can be downloaded, so it...

Well RickThai;
Since we're talking about visas and extensions of stays which foreigners garner here, and last time I checked thais don't need visas or get extensions to stay here; I don't see how we...
