A 10-year multiple entry visa is a Tourist visa (even if it is for your spouse) and is not affected. A Spousal visa, which confers immigrant status, is 'temporarily' banned for citizens of the 75 listed countries.

I wonder how they can determine what is "newly planted". I thought those things last forever. I occasionally hear about Vietnam war era landmines going off in Laos.

Construction of the Preah Vihear temple began in the 9th century A.D.. It wasn't until the 11th century that rulers of the Khmer Empire began to convert from Hinduism to Buddhism.

You might try Amazon.com. The shipping and customs is pretty reasonable now for some things, and you can depend on the quality and fit.

Check for places on Tripadvisor.com and call if the hours aren't listed.

If you are traveling together she can accompany you in the queue for U.S. citizens to save time.

I have reading glasses, but to be honest it's not just the screen size that's the problem. I have a problem with using the tiny keyboard as well. Too many times, often repeatedly, my finger hits the wrong key and I have to back-up and re-enter, It annoys the crap out of me.

That's definitely an issue, but I think the risk can be mitigated by using multi-factor authentication. For my Fidelity Investments accounts when I want to login on my PC they first send a message to my phone and I have to approve the login in order to login on the pc.

Having 3 pensions sounds like it would be a nice problem to have.

It's pretty damn hard to use the phone app if the print is too small for you to read. If I make the font large enough to easily read then I can only see a small portion of the page.

My wife is on her way back from her village in Sisaket at the moment after spending a week visiting her dad while I stayed at our home in Phuket. I haven't been to the village for several years because my father-in-law was staying in Phuket, but now that he has returned to the village my wife goes twice a year and I will go every 2 years. Here are a few suggestions for things to do in the village. 1) Arrange to have screens installed on the windows at the family home before you go. It's not expensive at all. Then you can leave all the windows wide open day and night and not be eaten alive. You may want to buy a couple extra fans, too. 2) Consider sleeping at a nearby resort and going to the farm during the day. If you're near Khun Han I recommend Rerawardi Resort. It's owned by a German/Thai couple. They have a nice restaurant, good pool, and bake fresh bread every day. You will find a number of English speakers, mainly German and Scandanavian, at the bar in the evenings. 3) Treat a group of kids from the village to a visit to a public swimming pool. I was treated like a rock star when I did that. The kids were so excited and had a wonderful time. 4) Samrong Kiat Waterfall is worth a visit if you're near Khun Han. 5) Kantharalak has a couple decent bars if you're in that area. 6) Taking the Golden to a vet and having him neutered won't change his personality but may reduce his urge to hump everything. Hope you have an enjoyable stay.

I hadn't heard about this requirement, but if you have been to the hospital before and have a patient ID card I doubt they would ask for your passport.

We are overdue, and the current PM is not the one who the people elected so they may not be too troubled if she is ousted.

When that happens all you have to do grab them by the balls and give them a squeeze until they let go of you.

I have Amazon Prime and I find Amazon will not ship most of the goods I am interested in to Thailand. Though it has started to improve a little in the last few years.
