I went to Pro- Language in the 10th floor on the same building

Yes and I show this paper with the open hours . I even ask other officers in the other building and they all tell me the same thing. One officers even tell me "Why you don't believe me. I work here"
I will return saturday morning

I was looking infos on schools for having ed-visa .

On May 23rd I went to Time Square Walen School and ask informations regarding the processus to obtain one. The office girl give good advise and I had made the choice right away to go to this school. I tell her that I have to go out of Thailand June 8 as my visa expire on this date.. I ask her if the whole process of papers will be ok for this date. She tell me that it may take 2 to 4 weeks to have the papers back to the school.  I ask her if she assure me to have the papers on time. She cannot assure me. But she tell me that if I want to speed up the process I have to pay 5,000 bahts more right away  and she promise me that the papers will arrive in 10 days. Also I have to give in advance the 25,000 bahts for the course.

I suddenly back off and tell her I want to think about it.

I went to another school . Same good advise for the girl for the infos. I explain my situation & tell her that I have to go out of Thailand June 8. No problems she tell me. The papers will arrive within 10 days. Are you sure I ask. Yes absolutely sure.
So I paid a deposit  of 15,000 b ,the rest payable when she received the papers.

8 days later May 31 she call me and said she have received the papers. I was very happy. I went therre paid the rest of the course, went to Laos and come back with my ed-visa

The question is WHY Walen school charge 5,000 b for having a visa in 10 days if other school can have the same visa in 8 days FREE of charge
Anyone?

IMMIGRATION SUAN PHLU IS STILL OPEN FOR RE-ENTRY PERMIT BUT ONLY EVERY SATURDAY 8:30 TO 12:00  FOR US .

I went there yesterday . The office was almost empty . Only 4 Asian peoples waiting. I present my passport and related papers. The girl at the desk tell me to go to Chang Wattana. I said that I was advise to go here for re-entry permit. She tell me it is only for Laos, Cambosia & Myanmar  DURING the week . For others foreigners it is only EVERY SATURDAY FROM 8:30 TO 12:00. I ask that  being here now can she process my permit. No way ! Cannot do that. Come saturday

So I went there for nothing
