@Rodney *******

your advice to pay whatever it costs irrespective of value for money and the corruption in the system may be swallowed by the ill informed and the dummies. Not by me!

@Rodney *******

you're seriously uninformed. Again u generalise and judge. What a dick. It's not about me. I can well afford reasonably priced retirement visa. The educational study visa is three times the price and not everyone coming in is from a high income country hence my comments about affordability and discrimination. I'm not affected to you're insulting and wrong to say I'm tight. Doesn't mean I don't have my head screwed on and know what's good value for money effective solutions for others needing guidance. Now pep down and shut the fuck up u plonker Rodney！

@Rodney *******

they're not all suitable. There's elements of discrimination too. Some are unreasonably or disproportionately expensive. Don't generalise. It's not easy or reasonably priced for all visitors so everyone makes their own strategy based on all available alternatives and what's likely to work. Don't judge people who are forced to use more fraught 60 day stamp option at their own risk.

Cambodia Travel. Bukhao.

All bullshit. Pattaya has hundreds African and Russian working girls without work permits. They are allowed in and not deported for breaking the rules. Also immigration officers at Suvarnabhumi have little in common with immigration officers at land borders. At land borders a new 60 day exemption granted without question. I've stayed 8 months. At Suvarnabhumi it's the Spanish inquisition power trip for the officers intimidating new arrivals. The education visa is 60k baht. Complete scam when retirement visa is one third of the price.

Passport floating in the English Channel i imagine ？

@Michael *******

and the African females working on Pattaya beach road on a tourist stamp? Are they messing it up for genuine tourists too? They're working illegally but a blind eye is turned. Tourists can get repeat stamps by border bouncing. Education visa is 55k baht a year. Superscam.

@Liam **********

wow Liam. Very impressed by your "reliable sauce" bollocks lol. Yes if it's an encounter at Suvarnabhumi I'd agree. But at the land crossing to Cambodia "no questions are asked". Please ask for clarification if you struggle to understand this super simple statement. Some people here find it hard to understand simple things so I try to help as far as I can.

@Craig *******

incorrect Craig. I know you mean well and I appreciate it but in reality you know very little but still take a bow trying to look important. It doesn't work for me but some may imagine u know what you're talking about. At the land border NO QUESTIONS ARE ASKED. I understand it's tough for you buddy. Would a diagram help you?

who said I'm paying an agent for something free to me? Read more carefully. The Thai agent pisses in the same pot as the official issuing the visa exemptions. We are purely customers paying fees to a local business which processes 100s of foreigners weekly. The agent facilitates the desired outcome. If they didn't they'd get no more customers. Not so complicated ?
