    Had you been out of country, or even stayed at hotel within Thailand since your last extension to stay (I'm assuming that's what you meant by visa renewed)?

    Bizarrely I was staying in a hotel on Chaiyapoon when I got my last renewal done by the agent.. How the fuck does that work ??? (That's rhetorical and doesn't need an answer other than TIT)

    Irish and Scots will generally drink in any pub but an Englishman will not like a pub for the smallest of reasons and leave.

    Kubla on Soi Pothole is the same as this pub and is named after the poem by S T Coleridge. Y'see there are some educated people that use Pothole !!!

    The authorities have a cunning plan! Wait it out till one part collapse completely or partially,then declare the whole lot unsafe.Swifly followed with a total demolition.In the meantime screw the punters and tourists out of as much money as they can.Another reason to avoid walking street.

    Exactly my thought !!!

    I think you're thinking of the TM6, which is no longer used.

    Whenever you stay at a new address the landlord, hotel or guesthouse owner needs to report your stay via the TM30. It's their responsibility, but you'll get tagged for the fine if you go to immigration for an extension to stay and they find the TM30 has not been filed.

    The problem has been some landlords refuse to do the TM30 leaving you to handle the report. It can be done in person at immigration, but for owners there is an online system they can use. What's new is immigration has reconginzed the need for an online system for guests to self-report.

    Most would agree this is a redundant requirement as we're already doing a 90 day report of our address. Bureaucracy at its best.

    Thanks mate.... I am just a simple man leading a simple life.

    Had a 9 day jaunt around Europe stopping in Krakow in Poland and Berchtesgaden in Germany. One of the many places I visited was here, Auschwitz-Birkenau, probably the sight of the largest mass killing of human beings ever undertaken. A sad place to visit. 

    Thank You for taking the time to post.

    It made me cry ... and put my own problems into perspective.

    From this morning's walk.

    Excellent pics!

    This morning's walk for me was after checking out of the hotel on pothole. I was walking home carrying my backpack and leftover wine (England lost) and was quite surprised by the progress of the work at the junction of Pattaya Tai and Sukhumvit. Surely they didn't achieve that in 2 days .....

    That surprised me too how the English is pretty good there.......not the usual garbled stuff we have to reconstruct.  Some guy digging holes somewhat wasted... meaning underutilized. 

    Too true mate!

    My best drinking buddy speaks damned good English ... with a Dorset accent of course. His job??? Room Boy in a hotel!

    When he quit his last job I taught him "Not a living wage" because he wanted to impress his new English speaking boss on his "interview" .... and he plops it into conversation every now and then and we just piss ourselves laughing !!
