I just arrived in BBK 9/26 coming from the Philippines, got stamped for a 60 day visa but, I was questioned where was I was going, was I coming with anyone, did I have friends here, how long was I’m staying. It was odd. I did have a Thai non -0 but let it expire last year. The officer seamed confused as to what to do. She called in the senior officer, he basically asked the same questions then asked for an onward ticket ( which I had) but in the end got stamped through. I was sweating bullets for a minute there. I’m an old white guy, maybe they flagged me for some reason or another. I also got question for my first Visa extension in the Philippines, had to be assessed and write down why i wanted to stay a second month, got it stamped with a letter stating I was not black listed or detriment to the country. Either I’m getting paranoid or they are becoming more strict into giving visa on arrivals or extending no mater what country you are in.
What is the direction of this channel going to be? You can only sit in front of a blind and talk about stuff you are becoming more distant from as each day passes for so long.
Good topic. I am in Hua Hin now and love it compared to the Philippines. You get stamped in at the airport for 60 days and then can extend another 30 days. I am retired and going to have a find a way to stay long term. I will see how creative the agents here will be with the new laws.
@@damncars2618 I took a bus from the airport. it’s on the first floor. The first bus leaves at 7:30 am they have multiple trips a day. Cost was 350 baht. Or like $12 US it’s like a four hour ride in a nice aircon bus with recliner seats and a bathroom. There is the train as well. I never used it. Th bus will drop you off out of town a bit need to take a grab or cab to your hotel.
I see $1000 price drops 75% on some rentals I don't know if it is off season that may be affected by Thailand taxes... It may be partially more people using the app so more properties are available. From my point of view there may have been an effort to promote women who are older than child baring age as part of someone's to dump alot of real estate in Thailand.
Hi Paul, I think you should consider removing comments from your haters. I know youtube channels that ignored those comments from sick people and later, as they grew to tens of thousands of subscribers, the haters virtually took over the comment section, pushing away normal people from commenting. Just something to consider. Thanks and good luck!
Paul, It is no secret that you were extradited from Thailand once before and it is also no secret that you are ruffling some feathers in the Philippines with your recent vlogs. With these things in mind and knowing that Thailand and the Philippines are not distant countries and could cooperate. Would you consider going to live or even visit in Thailand?
Soo, he was deported from Thailand also??? never had an idea that he was deported from there,feel bad for him, being deported from every place he has being living!!
@@Psycho-Nomics So he was forcibly and legally removed from the country to his home country, but we won't call that deported because it was initialized by his home country not his occupied country. You're technically correct. But he was removed and sent back home.

I’m always nervous when immigration is involved. Have a great trip

I’ll start with US travel
according to the Thai government and immigration websites the DTV is valid for UP TO 180 days per entry
I think u can do a six month extension without border run. Just pay 1900 baht at immigration office. DTV is fantastic.
Fantastic. Thanks for that
What are your plans over the next 12 months in regards to travel?
Orlando first
I've got nothing... but I did watch the video. 😁
Thanks
2:56 Thai language is not a Thai soft power activity and therefore is not eligible for the Destination Thai Visa.

Thank you

How do you recommend getting from BKK to there

@@EvralTatum-Mcfield-ov2mi I never heard that he was deported from the USA while living there.
