I didn't see Koh Samui, Koh Phangan, Koh Tao, Surin and Buri Ram in your list. There might several other places missing. So, plenty of place still to visit...

I would think that any kind of injections are bad – there has been news stories about very bad (read: extremely bad) results with various kind of oils and like. A thinner blood seems to help erection – and probably also a bit in size – for example by taking a so-called heart Asperin daily or just a few days a week. It's 75-85 mg acetylsalicylic acid and normally won't harm otherwise healthy people, but can rather be a benefit. Taking more than one tablet a day won't increase the effect, studies says. However, it's very often mentioned that it's not the size that matters – I've even heard about ladies that refuse, if the size is too big... When measuring size it's said to be in erected state, which is what you see in the various comparative reports, ranging from below 4 inches (10 cm) – some is even down to 3.1 inch (just below 8 cm) to a bit over 7 inches (18 cm) with 7.8 inches (almost 20 cm) at top. East Asian sizes are normally listed in the low end. About naming size: I'm very average for my country – so relative "big" compared to some, and relative "small" compared to others... – and also seems to be proper average sized between body and head. However, I won't annoy the honored members of the forum by taking and sharing any photos – and I luckily never had any size problems with any part of my tool, so far... Honestly, I would suggest that you don't care too much about your equipment's size – your partners might care a lot less than you, if not "too big" – and enjoy life instead...

Red wines marked with "dry" tastes sour. Wine is pretty much a question of individual taste – and if you are wine-drinker, it's also a matter of what you are used to drink – but in general a French Bordeaux wine is normally a good choice, but not the cheapest – will be from around 700-800 baht per bottle and up. The mere affordable Spanish "Osborne" (with a bull-logo) red wine is also fine. If you look for cheaper table-wine (house wine) in a container or cardboard box, the Australian "Gossip" at around 800-900 baht for 3 liters is a Okay choice after my taste. Even the cheapest box wine in Makro, "Holla" for around 700 baht for 3 liters is also all right. Again a matter of taste, but in Thailand wine taste best if cooled – also red wine – like you would drink the French "nouveau" (new = young) wine.

To my knowledge: Yes. Your annual permission to stay is based on 65k baht being transferred every month. If you don't keep that, your extension of stay is void, which means that you cannot extend it for another year. You will furthermore need 800k baht deposit in the bank two month before you apply for your next extension of stay. However, you could ask you local immigration office, if the will accept a change to deposit-method, before your existing extension of stay expires.

I presume your Thai ID is linked to your passport, as you need to give that information, to obtain a Yellow House Book. New passports are linked to old passport numbers. And, by the way, a TM30 report includes nationality and both latest arrival date to the Kingdom, and length of stay. A Thai ID has a special code-number for foreigners, so it might not be accepted at all in the system. Edit, PS: It's much easier just to follow the regulations...

The old system worked until mid September, which is just about three month ago.

Your TM30 needs to be in the new electronic data-system from mid September this year (2023), as no data has been transferred from the old system. I had the problem after re-entering before the new system opened, as the immigration office checked if my TM30 was reported in the new system when applying for extension of stay. It wasn't, so I could not apply for my extension of stay before the TM30 was reported in their new system.

You can find English translation of the various rules and police orders – just Google, if no links are shared – but the different immigration offices might have their own regulations on top. Furthermore, when entering a country it's in general up to the individual immigration officer's judgement, to allow your entry; however, they will often call for support from a superior officer, if they are in doubt. HERE is a link to the official site of visas, and HERE is an official Royal Thai Consulate-link with detailed explanations.

I've been changing bank a couple of times to obtain the best interest rate. I did it when the former agreed fixed term ended – to obtain my full interest from that – and moved the money during the same day to another bank, so the funds in theory has been in deposit every day. My interest date is about a week after my extension of stay expiry date, so it's always done after renewal. I'm not sure if it's a good idea to do it during the two month maturing period before applying for extension of stay. Most immigration offices – if not all – still wish, to my knowledge, a photocopy of an updated bank book, so you should preferably have a deposit account with a bank book. But ask your local immigration office in Chiang Mai – many of them have slight different rules – what they want, preferably get their printed list of documentation for extension of stay based on retirement with a bank deposit.

If your home country has a Double Taxation Agreement (DTA) with Thailand, you are most likely not taxed on your already taxed retirement pension from your home country. However, if your home country's income taxation is lower that Thailand's and retirement pensions can be taxed in both states – read your DTA – you might need to pay the difference. By the way: I would love to pay income tax of my retirement pension in Thailand, instead of my home country...

Make sure you have a proper fire-insurance on the building, it's actually relative cheap.

I didn't miss anything, I referred to an article and showed it's list for information... You are welcome to enlarge the list by methods of sexual fun – which I presume also can be performed by a number of the listed sexual-oriented genders – and additional genders...

Have you read the article..?

They are attracted to females or both; however, there might be variations. It seems to be common that many girls seek relationship with a tom before getting engaged or married, rather than having boyfriends. I've read that Thailand in general talks about 18-gender identities (Straight) Male A man who likes women. (Straight) Female A woman who likes men. Tom (Tomboy) A woman who dresses like a man and likes women or Dees. Dee A woman who likes manly women or Toms. Tom Gay A woman who likes women, Toms, and Dees. Tom Gay King A manly Tom who likes Toms. Bi(sexual) A woman who likes bisexuals, Toms, lesbians, and men. Boat A man who likes women, Gay Kings, and Gay Queens (does not include Ladyboys). Gay Queen A womanly man who likes men. Gay King A manly man who likes men. Tom Gay Two-Way A Tom who can be both a Tom Gay King or Tom Gay Queen. Tom Gay Queen A womanly Tom who likes Toms. Lesbian A woman who likes women. Kathoey/Ladyboy A man who wants to be a woman. Adam A man who likes Toms. Angee A Kathoey who likes Toms. Cherry A woman who likes gay men and Kathoey (Ladyboys). Samyaan A woman who likes Toms, lesbians, and women, and can also be any of them.” Source link HERE.

The reason is, that the TM30 database is a new system from September 15th. No data from old database is transferred, so the house owner or host must make a new registration and register tenants/guests/yourself (if foreign owner of home or host) again. Read more from news (The Thaiger) HERE. They do check the TM30 database. Samui Immigration do not accept the part of the announcement for expats in Section 2.2 of section 38 of the Immigration Act, which means that if you leave Surat Thani province, you need to make a new TM30 registration. I had that problem, when renewing my extension of stay in October. Also, in the new TM30 system your starting date cannot be earlier than "today" and your stay is stated to be for your validity of stay; i.e., the date stamped in your passport. I'm a house owner and therefore TM30 host. Earlier I used to report the day my present extension of stay ended, and with the new extension of stay's date as the end of stay; i.e. once a year if I didn't leave the Kingdom. If I left, I made a new registration upon entry to my home. I stopped doing that when section 2.2 of section 38 became valid in 2020; however, this was not accepted by Samui Immigration, which is well know to have stricter rules than most other immigration offices. At present 90-days reporting is a separate database from TM30, and it also work different in various immigration offices. At some – probably most places – the 90-days reporting is an individual system counting from date of entry. By Samui Immigration the 90-day-system both resets upon entering the Kingdom and when applying for extension of stay. When your extension of stay is approved by Samui Immigration, there is a new 90-days report-date slip in your passport, counting 90 days from you approval.

I have one answer, because I'm also listed in the field "status" as "owner" – i.e., "house-owner" – in my yellow house book. I'm living here as retiree on annual retirement extensions. You can own a house in Thailand, but you cannot own the land under the house, exempt in very few cases. Being registered as house-owner id not a proof of ownership, mere that you – or in my case I – is the person that can allow others to be listed in the house book(s), the blue for Thai nationals and permanent residency, the yellow for aliens (i.e., foreigners, I'm not sure about if them for space are also listed here). You can also be listed as house-master, if you are not owner, but the person that can allow others to be obtained in a house-book. The image is one borrowed from the Internet – might even be from an ASEAN NOW forum – with an English translation... The yellow book has same fields as the blue. "Kind of house" – here listed as "house" – can also be "home", which it is in my books. "Type of house" is blank in the example here, in my book it says "Building in 3 floors".

Fee might depend of where/province. I've done it a couple of times – DL and a lost mobile phone – each time it was 20 baht, but last time was 4-5 years ago.

Yes, that's correct: You need a police report – I think it's still 20 baht in fee – and the go to Land Transport Office to get a new Driver's License, which will cost you a fee in the area of 200 baht. It will be same period, as you lost DL. A photocopy might not work, so better get it done.

The child would be heir after Thai law, not the mother, if there is no last will. There need to be a lawyer or a by court appointed executor handling the estate; they will get access to information. Official record as father to a child is not enough with a name on a birth certificate, by that age you also need a DNA-test, when not registered married to the mother.

There are however still lots of outstanding and still fully alive performers, both from the nostalgic past and great newcomers...

Good for competition and low prices for daily needs...

It must be a purely matter of taste that Scottish women are better than other women... I've been to Scotland – and many other countries – but I found out that I prefers Asian women... I presume – as I'm not Scottish – that the reason might be the same as why numerous other men comes to Land-of-Smiles to find love. Some of the common answers I've heard through the years are: In general, the women are more feminine; from young folks that the girls are less demanding about "the perfect boyfriend" than Western girls; from middle-age to elder men that it's easier to find love here than at home, especially a younger partner – might be useful to have one to take good care of an elder man – and a young model is especially needed if you wish to expand your family. And finally, from a commercial point of view (which might due to legend not apply for Scottish men...): It's easier for some to find a spouse from Thailand than finding one at home, as you can find one that loves you – or something that seems exactly like that – based on being provider for a family. It might be a combination of above – and a lot of other good points – when men from Scotland and other parts of the World finds a partner from Thailand and other South East Asian countries...

You can drive on it right after the heavy roller or drum has made the black tarmac compact. It's cement/concrete that needs protection during a curing-period, preferably 28 days and not less than three days.

Thanks for your comment. Others than the OP can have benefit from answers in the forum; I have found a lot of very useful information without ever asking one opening-post question. That is why I bother to answer OPs and comments with questions – the ASEAN NOW-threads even shows up when asking Google for help.
