TM30 a shot in the foot. Even for hospital.

Yes.

Only arrival.

Departure is covered by wherever you next arrive........hotel in Pattaya, Immigration desk at Suvarnabhumi, border crossing at Chong Chom.

Is there a dispensation for the over 70's? :D They do after all get VIP treatment at the airports in immigration queues.
 
Aren't you in the computer system as leaving once going through customs at the airport? Why would you have to report you are leaving? And on arriving they have you as coming in on their computer and your TM3 or whatever that paper is you fill out and goes in your passport for when you do leave or get an extension later, etc.? You just have to report where you are staying (or the hotel will where you stay before you 'go/get home'). By TM30. Whether going to stay elsewhere, where ever you stay, or when arriving at your house/residence.

And who has to report the TM30 if say I go to Chiang Mai and stay with a friend at their home for a few days? Me, or him? And then when I leave Chiang Mai and get home I have to once again report with the TM30 that I am now home again? Within 24/48 hours of arrival? And you know many will just say f**k it and not do it. Then get caught up and fined. Rather laborious and pretty f**king much, even using a computer and their website it just seems too much to me. I just can't see it working very well and them being able to keep up with it all without a hell of a lot more manpower. Maybe they are just creating more jobs at Immi? And more income from the fines they will eventually collect. LOL

Perhaps 50% of the fines collected will go to providing more manned immigration desks at the major airports. The other 50%......................well we can guess where that will go. :rolleyes:

I did not get it wrong. It was written in italics, a direct quote from the Bangkok Post's reporting of the Foreign Correspondent's Club of Thailand (FCCT) meeting with senior Thai immigration officials on the panel.

So you quoted a source who got it wrong?

Very unusual for the Bangkok Post to get things wrong.
