thanks for the quick replies...  I thought at first the one at Juncgeylon would be ideal - until I had a look at their rates..  monthly costs from 7-800 baht per m3 for small units from 9-15 m3..  that's more expensive than what I would pay back hime in Canada!!  I've emailed the Chalong place for their rates as they arent posted on their website.. maybe better to look for a vacant unfurnished room in the Patong area...

i forgot to mention - i've already extended the initial entry by the 30 days and am nearing the end of that extension...

Update:  Thanks all for the advice - arrived at 9:30, asked one of the farang assistants there and he assured me it was just a matter of paying 1,500 baht for the 3 day overstay and the 30 day extension (another 1,900 baht) was granted from today's date - no concession given due to the office not being open on Saturday/Sunday.  Finished by 11:00..

Note for next visit:  go to get photo taken BEFORE any photocopying you need done, and get your photocopying done while waiting to get the developed photos - the lineup for photocopying looks longer but moves pretty fast..  there was quite a delay between getting the picture snapped and actually getting the developed photos, could have saved a bit of time there.

More important note: get 30 day extension BEFORE permission to stay date is gone by...

hmmm...  i'm not so confortable with the conflicting advice being given here...  logic would tell me that if i'm illegal, it shouldn't matter whether im at the airport or immigration office regarding the consequences.. but then again, TIT...  logic would also tell me that i'm a bit more comfortable with listening to someone who has been around long enough to have made 23,839 posts compared to someone with only 11...  it does suggest the possibility of him having more experience and knowledge than others..  however any other comments supporting either of the suggested resolutions would be appreciated...  the visit to the Immigration office in the morning would certainly be my preference

There are a couple of nudist resorts in the Pattaya area which can be found on the naturist thailand website listed above.  AFAIK, they are open to all, not gay-only.  I'm curious to hear from other gay nudists whether it's important for them that a nudist resort be gay-only or whether as in my case, I would be quite comfortable at any nudist resort that is welcoming to all.
