Tod Daniels. They should build a statue in your honor. The information/service/advice that you provide is invaluable. I'll soon be retiring to Thailand (marriage) and my time will certainly be spent investigating the advice that you have provided to others in a similar situation. Thanks again for your time and patience. Regards, Mark.

I want to drop in here too and mention that I originally joined this group five years ago as a backpacker to consult help about border runs and whatnot. Five years later this same group was able to help me process my marriage visa. It's phenomenal to see this group still around and the daily effort that's put into it to keep it clean, organized and most notably extremely helpful. People like myself have been saved from falling in the hands of shady practices that might've gotten us blacklisted. Very impactful
There's 4 people I take advice from for Thai related information and Tod is one of them. ๐

Certainly seems like the best place to ask about visa...should be sponsored by the Thai Consulate!

I actually have a statue of Tod, but don't let him know I have it.

Couldnโt agree more, the most concise, knowledgeable, factual information provided to navigate through the Thai visa system and procedures. Iโd say the gold standard to follow for any other similar group. Thank you personally to Ellie, Tod, James et al. ๐ค

Just a bit of info;
The reason we close posts so fast after someone provides the correct answer IS
We used to leave them open, give the right answer and then some well meaning, but clueless poster would give BAD info starting the whole thread all over again, and again, and again..
SO we just decided after people get the right answer we'd close the thread..
IF ANYONE wants a thread reopened, just message a moderator (Ellie James or Me) and we'll most likely do it ๐
We're NOT trying to stifle the exchange of information, but entry/visa/extension stuff is so knowledge intensive and so dependent on where you're doing what you want to get done.
It can be frustrating to ask about something somewhere and have a person weigh in with a different location (which may or may not be how your office does things)
Thanx everyone for making this the best group for entry/visa/extension to thailand on the inter-web (y) (y) (y)
All my knowledge to help others, particularly older expats with no IT ability comes from you and this group. To the point answers, there to help everyone at all hours and many times a Godsend to the younger travelers who I see are often stranded at a border. Thank you all and may this group continue well into the future

Totally agree with the sentiment but as Todd says it's the whole team. They helped me and my family through the toughest time in my life with their support. Things are going great now and all thanks to this group.

Great job to all involved. ๐ thanks

I only echo the sentiments here, an invaluable resource in what can be a confusing system. Not only is the advise clear and pertinent but the patience shown with certain posters admirable. Thank you Tod and others
Guenter ********
... "the patience shown with certain posters" is indeed unbeatable.
I am about as far from humble as you can throw a stick.. I am coarse, terse, acerbic, abrasive and in fact truth be told I'm an asshole on the interweb and in real life
My business card says so ๐
Gordon *********
I really like that Tod. Great
