Thank you for the evenings entertainment Commander, Raj, Nyezhov, and I forgot the rest of your pen names. I am so sorry.

Why don't you block him like I did months ago, I can't stand egomaniacs.

[Nyezhov]

Who? Are you implying this story of fiction is actually about a real life person on this forum? Who might that be? It must be true if you think you know who the story is about right? Let me ask you, do you actually have 3 or 4 computers or smart phones all open and logged into ISG at the same time?

How do you do it? Kudos to you though for living up to the story I wrote. LOL.

A simple search will disabuse you of that error in identification, hahaha. Keep it 100.

[SubCmdr]

Alas, but I am also right about many other things. LOL.

That you may be. I will stipulate to the fact that you are certain that you are right all the time in your own mind. But I have noticed two exceptions: BBFS, Beach Road. I don't know everything about the Kingdom of Thailand, but I know Beach Road, The Bus Bar, 808 and Thai Clubs.

No matter how I entered the country initially (visa exemption), I like Pattaya. I also happen to like Sosua and Medellin also. You see like Tu Pac said: I get around.

Back to get wreck
All respect to those who break their neck to keep their hoes in check
Cause hoes, they sweat a brother majorly
And I don't know why, your hoes keep lineing me - TuPac.

If I had of known how easy it is to live a good life without spending a lot of money I would have spent a lot less time trying to earn it in my youth. Should of worked smarter not harder.

LOL

You are welcome. No need to be sorry. For your information as you appear to be a wrong as I was about VISAS:

No he is not. I met Sub years ago in another country. Posting patterns are nowhere near the same. The guy with 20 usernames always watches youtube videos and writes hahaha.

I said it's on by the way, I'm in the zone by the way
And you can call me Mr. SubCmdr by the way
I did it by the way, I was with it by the way
I talk it like I did it 'cause I lived it by the way - Young Jeezy.

Exactly what inside information or source are basing this statement? Facts or just stating your opinion yet again?.

If I told you I would have to kill you LOL.

Actually anytime you enter a foreign country you are given a visa. All a visa means is permission to be in the country. You showing up at an immigration booth and them telling you to pass is giving you a visa. Some countries make you preapply for the permission and others give you the permission when you arrive.

In Thailand, visa exemption is not a visa. End of story.

[EverythingThai]

Then we have this guy:

I'll stipulate to the nomenclature you have presented. But you contradict yourself.

Says VISA in my passport when it is stamped. So I entered with a VISA Exemption but immigration put a stamp in my passport that says VISA.

It was good for 30 days and renewed it for 30 days. I know what I got, I know what it says and I know what I did.

You are welcome to meet me the Bus Bar on Soi Treetown across from the weed shop if you don't believe me. LOL!

I hope she show and turns out to be everything you hoped she would be.

She is from Laos, she is eligible to enter the county for 30 days through a bilateral agreement account to the following website:

Oh my Buddha. I know you came on visa exemption, but you stated that one can also apply for a tourist visa and get 90 days and that's just not true. It's 60 days. so, there are two topics here that you are confused about and/or mixing together. Thanks for coming out.


Here, let me remind you what you said.

You can also apply for a Tourist Visa which is good for 90 days before you enter the country. You are able to do that online.

So, single or multiple entry tourist visas don't give you 90 days permission to stay. They give you 60 days permission to stay with an option to extend for 30 more days in country.

Visa exemption is not a visa on arrival and visa exemption is not a visa. Simple as that. You also might be confusing the validity of the visa. What this means is the time frame you have to use the visa from the Thai embassy before it expires. Using the visa meaning entering the country. depending on the visa you apply for, you may have 30-90 days to use that visa. Nobody cares about this and they only care about the permission to stay you get and that's what the original op was inquiring about. Permission to stay on visa exemption. Again, using the visa means entering Thailand and permission to stay means how long you can stay in the Thailand for. This being 60 days on any tourist visa with an option to extend for 30 more days.

Why do you think your visa exempt stamp is a visa? Let me educate you. Every visa exempt stamp is given at the airport when you arrive. It has Visa class_______ and then they put the code their for visa exemption. Further, visas are not issued at the airport. Visas are issued at one of three places. First place is at your local immigration office. Second place is a Thai embassy. Third place is a Thai consulate. However, only non-immigrant visas can be issued at your local immigration and not tourist visas. Clear?

Look at the screenshot and I quote. U.S. passport holders are not required to obtain a visa when entering Thailand for tourism purposes"""

[SubCmdr]

Are arriving passengers from the USA, UK, and Canada getting 60 day visa on arrival as reported recently? Has anybody heard when that will take effect?

We have this from our local VISA expert.

I believe it will be implemented by July 15 or by July 31st at the latest along with the DTV.

Exactly what inside information or source are basing this statement? Facts or just stating your opinion yet again?

Because I have not seen one official announcement of date where either program commences.

Actually anytime you enter a foreign country you are given a visa. All a visa means is permission to be in the country. You showing up at an immigration booth and them telling you to pass is giving you a visa. Some countries make you preapply for the permission and others give you the permission when you arrive.

[SubCmdr]

I have been saying this for years, but some other board member that starts with E and ends with S say it is all lies. Frankly I do not see what the big deal is that someone would need to lie about that.

Then we have this guy:

Not correct.

Tourist visas come in 2 types. Single entry and Multiple entry. The one you are referring to here in your post is the single entry tourist visa.

I'll stipulate to the nomenclature you have presented. But you contradict yourself.

Says VISA in my passport when it is stamped. So I entered with a VISA Exemption but immigration put a stamp in my passport that says VISA.

It was good for 30 days and renewed it for 30 days. I know what I got, I know what it says and I know what I did.

I hope she show and turns out to be everything you hoped she would be.

[SubCmdr]

Ah-ah-ah! A very apt portrayal.

Actually it sounds like to me someone is projecting or reflecting. That is why they have time for these exercises in creative writing. LOL!

[EverythingThai]

You are absolutely correct. When I enter Thailand the stamp they give me in my passport says VISA and it contains the date of entry and the date my VISA expires. You can also apply for a Tourist Visa which is good for 90 days before you enter the country. You are able to do that online.

Not correct.

Tourist visas come in 2 types. Single entry and Multiple entry. The one you are referring to here in your post is the single entry tourist visa. It is good for 60 days permission to stay, not 90 days. However, that permission to stay can be extended one time only inside Thailand to then achieve the 90 days. If one chooses not to extend it, its 60 days.

That is not correct. See https://embassies.net/thailand-visa-exemption.

Are arriving passengers from the USA, UK, and Canada getting 60 day visa on arrival as reported recently? Has anybody heard when that will take effect?

Here is the correct info for the both of you.

What you are referring to here is visa exemption, not visa on arrival. Don't worry about mixing up the terminology. It's no big deal. There are still a few selected nationalities that can fly here, but actually have to apply for their visa at the airport after they arrive. This is visa on arrival. Then there is visa exemption, which is what you guys are talking about. This means that certain nationalities can travel to Thailand and don't require any type of visa. They are exempt, hence the term visa exemption. Thai immigration simply stamps your passport with the appropriate permission to stay. For you that has typically been 30 days. However, last month the Thai government issued an announcement that they will start to give 60 days permission to stay on visa exemption, but the press mixed up the start date and advertised June 1st. Since then, we have been waiting for Thailand to finalize the legal process so this new policy can be implemented. That process is expected to be finished shortly. I believe it will be implemented by July 15 or by July 31st at the latest along with the DTV.

Little did the forum know that behind the bravado and the bizarre tales was a lonely man in a one-bedroom apartment, his only connection to the world through the screen of his computer. David's life outside the forum was a stark contrast to the flamboyant persona of The Oracle. His reality was filled with solitude and monotony, but online, he was a legend.

In the end, David's true identity remained a mystery. He continued to rule the forum with an iron fist, his peculiar stories and vulgar challenges keeping the community on edge. For him, the virtual world was a stage, and he was its star, playing his role with unwavering dedication. And as long as the forum existed, so too would The Oracle, the enigmatic expat of Pattaya who had never set foot in the city he claimed to know so well.

Ah-ah-ah! A very apt portrayal.
