  1. I had a lawyer look into it. Main question is, whether there is a father on the birth certificate. If yes, he must either voluntarily give up his rights OR be removed by a court, IF there is compelling reason for that (I.e. sexual predator).

    In our case, the biological father said "yes, if you pay me...", which was the end of the discussion.

    Incorrect.

     

    You don't lose the advance days, regardless of when you apply the new 90 day approval starts from the expiry date of your previous one.

    I currently have 2 90d slips on my desk - one from the immigration office directly, one from the new app - and few in the old application, all of which proof you wrong. Keep you BS to yourself and don't confuse other people.

    It shows my status as Pending.

    That status is perfectly ok. It means that they are processing your information. You just have to be patient until you receive the mail telling you either "success" or "failure". On "success", print the PDF coming with that mail for your passport, on "failure", take the TM47 from the second mail and go do your reporting onsite in Jomtien, you still have few days left

    I just tried it with an old one of mine and the Status popped up fine.

    Just see your post... as I said above, I also see my old applications / confirmations on the old website, but since they changed to a new "app", I very much doubt that you can do a new TM47 on the old system. 

    Actually, for 1.5y I could not use the old website anymore, nobody could tell me why, so I had to do reports in Jomtien personally. Not a big deal for me (only 10m drive), but nevertheless inconvenient. With the new site, registration, getting password, entering data and receiving confirmation of success was less than 10 hours.

  5. Most every shop and most every Thai household offers food and drinks to the ghost, which will keep evil and mischief from them. Some Thai build a shrine (the mansion for the ghosts), have the shrine blessed by a Shaman, and then they need to offer food and drinks every day. This will also give them wishes that might be fulfilled. Same as giving food to the monks and praying for the winning lottery ticket.

    Red Fanta is popular, because red is for many (but not all) people the color of luck. And of course, not being stupid, the beverage industry is using this superstition for their profit.

  6. The orange one is Fascino and can be recommended. The one I use always offers alternatives or generics to what I ask for.

    There is a Boots in Central festival, 3rd or 4th floor.

    There is a pharmacy just at the corner where you drive into Bangkok Pattaya Hospital, which I can also recommend.

    Otherwise get a prescription from Memorial, their pharmacy is much cheaper than BPH.
