Black flagged

I've just arrived back in Bangkok after my latest visa run to Cambodia. Originally the trip was planned for the 30th Sept, however, it was black flagged due to more Thai 'red tape'. Apparently I'm unable to do more than three visa runs in a six month period (which I already know). My last recorded visa run was on the 2nd April 2008, so Thai immigration deemed I could not leave the country until the 2nd Oct (I don't agree as visa's in Thailand are issued for 30 days, so I've been here longer than 180 days). Great, two days overstay and more money in their coffers. Gee whiz they make it hard for farangs (otherwise known as foreigners or aliens) to spend money in Thailand.
No use arguing I suppose, I'm back now and don't have to go again until the 31st Oct. Thats one day I don't want anything untoward to occur in Wannida's stomach (if she hasn't already given birth). Wannida is confident I have nothing to worry about, however, I'll say a little prayer anyway.
35 weeks and counting tomorrow...
