^ what you could do is apply early at immigration so that you still can take that trip. (Give it ample of time (at least 2.5 Months before your trip))

Maybe it's also worth while to mention your intended trip to the immigration officer (Don't bother with the girl who checks the documentation at Desk 5, but after you supplied the documentation you get send to another desk, which is the girls Boss).

Back home I was in a relationship for over 13 years, and then my partner died. After a while I then came to Thailand and had my ordeal with some Thai gf's but now I am married again with a Thai girl who again I want to spend the rest of my life with.

All the way down on that page, you can select the region where you wanna buy that house.

Only be prepared to wait for the definitive approval around 2 Months (Mine took around 2,5 Months). I am not 100% sure, but I don't think that you can leave the Country will waiting for approval.

Documents needed:

First time you also need to bring a witness.

For all amounts I transfer from Europe my Bank charges me around 23 Euros. My Thai Bank doesn't charge me, as I send it via Swift in Euro's (not in Thai Baht) and costs set to OUR (Fees are payed by Sending Party). If you set costs to Shared, then the costs will be split by the Sender and the Receiver.

No idea about the average Salary, but the Minimum Amount you should earn is 50.000 THB P/M, so you can get a Work Permit.

It's called wet season happens most years

Be considered and talk to your neighbors and ask if you can practice and at what times.

This you should have done in the first place, as it is the most civilized thing to do and also would gain respect.

If you would have a lived in a house it's not such a big of a deal, but in a condo you only live about 50cms away from your next door neighbor.

Good luck

The traffic-lights for pedestrians in Pattaya (somewhat around 13 pieces of them) are being turned off during the weekend.

It seems (yes: seems) that they actually work from Mon-Fri.

I don't know exactly how many pedestrian lights there are in Pattaya, but it are a lot more han 13, and the majority is turned of 24/7.

Other than that there are a quiet a few junction traffic lights that never have been turned on, and in fact the traffic lights that are functional in Pattaya are ignored anyway.

Oh so true, yesterday while coming back from Jomtien one of these lights near Royal Garden turned red and I was the only one who stopped. Almost everyone else including a bus and several song taews raced through the lights. The pedestrians on the other side still had to play chicken to cross.

Windows 8 is still called Windows 8 and the name hasn't been changed at all.

The title of the OP is confusing, but indeed Windows 8 will not be renamed but they (MS) are forced to drop the "Metro" branding for its tile-based design

I just transferred 100 Euros to Bangkok Bank, so it should arrive later this week.

<snip>

When I transfer money from my European Bank Account (lets say 3pm Thai Time) it's usually here early morning the following working day (however Banks usually say it will arrive within 2-3 days, just to be on the safe side)

This could help (if he wants to do it himself and save a bundle of money)

Have you transferred money before from Europe to Thailand ? If not, then first transfer something like 100 EURO and see if it arrives.

When I bought my Condo's I never transferred all the money in 1 go, but spread it over 3-4 times. 2 Million THB is around 50.000 EURO's so transfer each time around 12.5k or more, but there is one disadvantage to this that each time when you transfer you pay the costs for the transfer (for my European Bank it costs around 23 Euro's to Transfer 12.5k )

Ps: Can you check your Kasikorn account while you are still in Europe ?

been with them over 10 years

about £1500 per year for top plan

Same here (however in another EU Country) but I would also advise to have another Insurance in Thailand with for example Bupha http://www.bupa.co.th/en/individuals.aspx

If you have a 12 month extension based on retirement she can get the same as your dependent.

I have heard that immigration won't issue her a visa since there is such a great age difference. Are

you aware if this is true?

If you are legally married then there is no reason for immigration to refuse her.

Here at night the sec. guards have to write down when someone comes in or goes out, all owners also have keycards which record this, and print outs of this system are regularly checked if it matches what the sec. guards write down. Before this system was in place they where always asleep when we came home, but now they are wide awake

If you find the nest put on S 85 diluted with water (available in many shops (like Home Pro or Garden Centers)) that will kill the lot. And is also cheaper then any other chemical around.

Hi Tony's gym sold 400 combined yearly and lifetime m emberships in the last month. im not sure if that is good or bad.

When I queried Jomtien immigration for an extension based on marriage I got a negative response & they strongly recommended I apply for extension based on retirement. As discussed on another thread you get the impression they don't like the extra workload. Also I was informed "if successful" could be up to 90 days to process.

My problem is that I am not old enough to apply for a extension based on retirement. If I get rejected (there is no reason why they should, because we are happily living together and have sufficient funds) I will get a Multiple Non-O from one of the Embassy's / Consulates in the neighborhood and will not bother with Immigration anymore.

I have to go for my yearly extension next week. Kilos of paperwork. I dread it.

Phil I know you are going for extension based on marriage, the process is just the same as last year, but after you have done the extension, be prepared for a long wait, I did mine in June and the decision has still not arrived back from Bangkok. They said today that I've to come back again in maybe 1 or 2 weeks to see if it has arrived.

Ps: Here is the list of the documents I needed for the extension.

It has live coverage or you can watch videos of previous events. It also has search functions by country, sport and a calendar of events which also can be searched by country or sport. Used along with Television coverage, it is hard to ask for more.

That one is indeed perfect, but just be careful when you watching it via 3G, as my Data Package (5 Gb) is already almost cut in half in just 2+ days

Have a look in Tukcom
