While you are doing research about the medical aspects a call to the US Embassy is in order to insure that the child will be registered by the Embassy to insure it's US citizenship

I happened upon their presentation at the Central Festival Mall last weekend and with the way they are spending money on promotion it is going to be huge

As another poster said, no matter where you buy in Thailand you can never tell what is going to be build adjacent, on top of, or near you

See for yourself what they are planning

Rent till you get to know the area, it is simple as that

Wait a few seconds, am watching Channel 3 now on the TV and Channel 3 on the internet

Slight delay between the two but perfectly acceptable

Thanks to chantorn for the url

As a U.S. citizen you have a very easy solution available to you. Instead of using your bank accounts to verify your financial ability to live in Thailand, go the the U.S. Embassy in Bangkok and obtain a letter from them certifying your annual income. I do that every year with no problem.

Send me a PM if you want more information.

Simplest solution to the problem

If you have some "moral qualms" then look at it as YOU are funding your retirement via your savings which equal at least 65,000 THB per month which you state to the Embassy and they just say that you stated it

This is probably the ONLY time being a US citizen pays off. NO proof required

Thank you

Can't a MOD do something about 6 duplicate posts PLEASE

Too bad people who post here don't tell us where they are, everyone knows that the Internet here in Thailand is location dependent

Pattaya, Vimeo.com OK

TT&T, Maxnet, Premier 5 MB service

thanks to everybody, i did the run again and checked the cars again. The camry won hands down, so I just ordered the 2.4. It comes loaded and is really roomy and comfortable. Hope it was the right choice but as posted on this thread, the resale is really good. I am 6'1 190# and the yarris, although a nice small car, is just too small and basic to drive all the time.

thanks for replies

How long till you will get delivery

As I understand it, under the Thai-United States Amity Treaty, U.S.A. based businesses owned by Americans are allowed to buy land in Thailand under much easier terms than would be the case for other foreign owned business. The Amity treaty does accord Americans special status. For example, I know that unlike other foreigners, because of this treaty, as an American I don't need to show that I have 800,000 baht in the bank to obtain or renew my retirement visa. . I just need to go to the U.S. Consulate and get a notarized statement that I earn x amount of income per year.

As you understand it is WRONG

" Thai-United States Amity Treaty " has absolutely nothing to do with the Retirement (long stay) Visa or Permission to stay for Retirement that is covered by the 65,000 THB monthly income requirement . These are Immigration rules and only because you are an American the Consulate or Embassy does not require proof of this income

What kind of speeds are you guys getting, even with a rapidshare account I only get around 500kbps is Maxnet throttling the speed?

No, Maxnet is not throttling Rapidshare, 500kbps is about the best you are going to get in Thailand due to the "crap copper" we are dealing with

You can make it a little less painful by using a download manager, I prefer and use Internet Download Manager

I can't find it now, (we all know how wonderful the search function is on this site) but wasn't there a warning given by the government before all this started that they would not tolerate "foreigners" getting involved in this demonstration ?

Please feel free to correct me if I am imagining this

I learned this little trick to keep me out of trouble when in Ireland for my honeymoon

So long as the passenger is next to the wall, curb, foot path, buildings, etc. I don't get confused

US Embassy charges $35 (at present, soon to go up) for a Residency Certificate

Immigration Bureau depending upon you location, charge from 0 up to 500 THB, require a form ( Certificate of Residence Application TM.18) 2 photos, arrival stamp, lease, house book, or utility receipt to issue the Certificate

Don't bother going to the Innigration Police

This story is getting wider air play

My TG says there was a report on Channel 3 News last night after the soaps

Evidently one of the proponents of woman's rights here in Thailand is championing for the ladies relatives to obtain some answers from the police

(Kuhn Prawina) sic. ?

Ask them

One of the few Consulates that answers emails

It's not just you! http://www.demonoid.com looks down from here.

You either learn how to play the game or let the game crush you

Anyone that can use a computer can obtain a "US street address " Just do a Google search and you will find many solutions

But no, people here would rather whine and complain and fill their lives with DRAMA

Or renounce your citizenship and the problem is solved

Oh but no, you don't want to do that do, you want the best of both worlds, the protections that US Citizenship gives you but none of the responsibilities

YOU chose to be an expat no one put a gun to your head and said "go forth and live in Thailand"

The handrails on the balcony's at center condo are only 38" as opposed the regulation height of 42" in the UK,

not hard to fall over if pushed hard enough

The height of the handrail is irrelevant in this case :

She fall/went from the kitchen window, not from the balcony...

BTW, if someone wanted to jump they would most likely do it from the balcony.

Then she flew an extra 7 feet since the kitchen in that apartment is recessed towards the back of the building

All you have to do is look at the broken ceiling on the overhang and it is obvious that she fell straight down from the balcony

BTW. Yesterday the workers at Center Condo wrapped the entire condo building in a single strand of white string after they placed a meal on a table next to where the body landed

Why doesn't anyone use the search function here ?
