Right on the money, Colin! The Thai-visa site is always good reading and a good reference spot as well. I look at the whole Thai visa picture much like I do the weather, every day expect bright sunshine, but be on the lookout for storm clouds on the horizon. I never expect things to happen in a normal or consistant manner when dealing with ANY government agency, no matter what country I'm residing in at the moment. I just try to keep up with the latest threads, bulletins and news alerts as they come and hope that I'm not the last to know!
