I am a 73 year old British man resident in Isaan.

Following prostate cancer 20 years ago I have needed an artificial sphincter which fails and needs replacing every 4 to 7 years.

I have always gone back to the UK to have this replaced.

Now the latest one has failed and I can't (or don't want to) go back to the UK.

I came across a closed post on here with a reply from Sheryl and I wonder if anyone has any further information or experience of this surgery in Thailand.

(I live 7 hours from Bangkok so travelling anywhere in Thailand is an option)

In case it helps---

When I got my Thai boyfriend his first UK tourist visa 10 years ago we made no attempt to show he could support himself.

What I did was provide a statement that I would pay all his costs and provided evidence in the form of my bank statements and salary slips that I could afford to do so.

We also submitted photographic evidence of our relationship including photos with his family.

Varun has posted above that a letter from his employer is required- I believe that this was very important and in our case included words that his job would be kept open for his return - If possible the employers letter should exclude any reference to bar work.

Along with this we gave full details of his family in Thailand and his closeness to them

Good luck (by the way we are up in Bangkok next week applying for the same guy who is now my UK Registered Civil Partner a US tourist visa)

Please see my posting #12 above.

I am interested

I will ask your friend nr Surin if he would send you my e mail address and I would be grateful if you could keep me in the picture

You must feel devasted at your change of circumstances

We arrive in Surin from the UK mid December where we are having a house built which will be finished end January, if this fits with your timing I would willingly take the 2 labradors.

We will have a walled plot of 1 rai
