Also sitting here with tears running down my face- this is appalling, I just cant understand it at all. RIP.

I live nearby, All I can say is it seems well organized and well maintained. There is a large playing field there and police presence to assist with traffic in the mornings. Looks like a decent school but I am unable to comment on the academic side of things.

I think they have some people who were involved, I hope they are able to prove everything and show proper procedures are followed. The bastards that did this deserve to be punished.

More human dregs.

You can apply for a change of visa status to obtain a 90 day non immigrant visa entry. You can apply for it at any time between today to the date when you only have 15 days remaining on your 60 day entry.. Your application will be sent to Bangkok for approval and you will have tor return after about 15 days to get your visa/entry stamps.

You will use a TM86 form to apply for it and the fee is 2000 baht. You will need proof of the money in bank by way of a letter from your bank and updated copies of your bank book. You will also need proof of residence.

If your money has been in the bank for 60 days on the date you go back for the stamps there are reports that Jomtien immigration will do your extension at the same time instead of you having to wait until the last 30 days.

Ubonjoe - thank you for the information, I own a condo would a copy of chanote do for proof of residence or would they require something more? I will report back once I have started the process - thanks to all.

Hi Guys

I am currently in Pattaya, with a 60 day single entry tourist visa, (59 left) I am over 50 and have over 800k in the bank in Thailand (for a few years) can anyone advise the latest process to convert this tourist visa to a retirement? I know things are constantly changing and was thinking of using an agent for the paperwork as long as totally legal so any recommendations there would be appreciated also.

have a great weekend

I was wondering if the teenagers were perhaps related to the girls family and had arrived at his Hotel to sort him out...or maybe he is a complete Bogan.

Blair has a cheek, he's a war criminal who needs arresting and taken to The Hague he committed a crime against peace under Nuremberg Principles “planning, preparing, initiation or waging of a war of aggression”. Iraq war was a crime of aggression and violated Article 33 and Article 51 of the UN Charter

Blair knowingly broke international law – 8 months before Iraq invasion Lord Goldsmith senior legal advisor in the British Government informed Blair that attacking Iraq would be a breach of international law/UN Charter. Lord Goldsmith stated that Britain could not use ‘self defense’ because Iraq had not threatened Britain. Blair ignored Goldsmith’s letter and banned him from attending cabinet meetings and denied him going public.

I have to agree, Tony Blair is a disgusting person - why has he not been called to account for his war crimes. He is a murderer, plain & simple.

Come on guys we know the apology is BS. To be honest I would rather not even hear about this garbage as an attempt to make things look good. Forget the press and just lock the <deleted> up

lol

The reason these guys (and many others) admit the crime is the sentence on the table is usually halved with a confession I have been told. And if a capitol offense they may avoid execution. I do not know if this is 100% true but I believe the person who told me.

Let's hope the RTP are on the right path here and can get the people responsible for these murders. If this <deleted> is involved I hope he rots.

I was in Villa market in Pattaya a few days ago, I did not see the cabbage but saw other things which were 40 - 50% more than in Big C. I ended up not buying anything and I was the only customer there at that time - crazy strategy.

sad that anyone gets to that point, find it difficult to be sympathetic but hope he recovers and can take care of his child.

I truly hope that the people involved in this cowardly attack are caught soon, I think the many misleading and conflicting statements from the Police need to be coordinated more professionally.

Worry less about specualtion and more about detection - best of luck catching these <deleted>.

Horrible, I only hope they get the people involved and give them what they deserve. Evil bastards.

Truely my faourite actor- especially Minder Arfrur was legend. RIP and many thanks George

Looks like they are running a few promotions just now from 942 baht per day in Pattaya

similar to the post before - but it was Hertz I used last, they were under 1000 a day but no shady BS. Not that I am suggesting that others are just nice to deal with a known brand sometimes.

I can update that Ho Chi Minh does not do a double entry tourist visa (I was there last week) only single entry. I also had to give them a copy of my flight ticket which they kept.

I am reading this thread and wondering why you would fly THAI ? makes no sense.

Agreed - the market produce is much cheaper and in my opinion better quality. I have bought from Big C etc and the veg starts to go soft after a day or so if not used.

irishaircon in Pattaya are excellent for you air con issues, very pleased with them

That Fortuner is messed up for sure, another life lost - very sad. Are those Fortuners glued together here by farmers?

I'm glad I went for the General package and not one of the lesser ones - at least mine isn't fake.
