I must be 1 of the unlucky one's as I have just tried to renewed my licence from a 1 year to a 5 year. I could only get another 1 year licence, there excuse was new law for farang, you only get 1 year from now on. Even though they made me drive to Amnat Charoen, from Loeng Nok Tha to get a letter from Immigration. Even though I took my passport and I showed them my marriage visa Plus all the copies of the usual paper work. It did not matter to them.

New law they kept saying. So I went to another licencing dept and they assured me they would give me a 5 year licence next year... we shall see!

Hey this is such a good topic, I thought I would add mine....I came to Kutchum near Yasothon, about 8 months ago just for a short stay and then we was going to go back to Perth, australia, for a few more years, but I just loved living here we decided to stay and clear about 12rai and plant Rubber trees and leave some room on the land for the house to be built. I am officially retired now, a little bit before my time, so I guess I am one of the lucky one's.

Fingures crossed our home should be finished in about another 4 months. At the moment my wife and myself live at the side of the inlaws house, we had a room built for us

in this room it is typical thai house with stuff crammed every where. bed fridge desk, well everything except the sink.

I am kept busy with the build and keeping the weeds away form the trees about 1200, next year we will plant Thai potato along side of the trees.

I am lucky that I have met about 8 farrang that live close by and I get to play golf 2 times a week, my wife does not mind me playing as it gives her an excuse to go off to the

beauty shop. I would like to add that the people in Kutchum are very friendly, which makes life a lot easier, it is not a farrang user friendly village though as not many people can speak English, yes I know I am learning the Thai language but I finding it very difficult. If there is anyone else that lives in the Kutchum area, that would like a chat, or a game od golf

my name Is Ian and my email is [email protected]. Thanks and bye for now.
