If he wants to live in Thailand ongoing for ~6 months per year......My suggestion would be to obtain a non O retirement either in home country (if possible) or here in Thailand. After that he would obtain annual extensions. 

Of course he would need to plan his timing to be in Thailand for each extension. Also have his reentry permit.

He would be best advised to use money in bank method. Just leave 800k in Thai bank ongoing.

Yes, Non-O retirement visa.

But if he can fulfill the "income version", it's easier to handle. Income version means, showing the IMO a certified document from the embassy or consulate that he has a constant monthly income of at least 65.000 Baht.

Justin Bieber. Sorn the plumber. Nam the bargirl. Porntip the maid. Thanathorn. Thaksin, LOL. They would all be far more capable than the current leadership. 

 

Speaking of the current leadership, name their five msot successful policies in the past 7 years. Please. I dare you to even try.

He opened the chance for some falangs that their AUD, US$, GBP, € and other currencies went up the ladder. Thank you, Mister P.  (the only thank you) !

@ Randy 99,

call them (on Monday)  and ask them what to do.

@DrJack54; I guess you agree with me: crazy IMOs in Thailand: for exactly the same issue - different results, sometimes many different results .

Some officers use common sense (as in MHS), others are jobsworth, pedants or even idiots.

That's for in person reporting.

Online and mail in have different dates.

Think online is 14 and up to report due date was changed recently.

Via mail CM ask for it to be sent 15 days prior. Some other offices are more flexible.

 

.... i.e  .......     in Mae Hong Son.

From Internet (and my view):

 Every time when I read how Prayut is showing his absolute incompetence as the leader of his country - especially concerning covid -,  I think what would he say and do, if one of Thailands neighbours starts a war? I.e.: Cambodia.

-  within the first days: "it's not a serious problem, let's wait and see".

-  I must hurry and fly to China. We need their ships.

-  after 1 week: we will have a meeting. Anutin will tell you which clothes you have to carry on your body.

-  after 10 days: the boys in Thong Lor should now stay at home and stop drinking and f........g. We need them soon.

-  after 2 weeks:  Anutin doesn't have time enough. The day after tomorrow I want that all the generals of the navy take part in a meeting.

-  at the meeting I will ask the generals how to go on and how many ships we need for the Mekong.

-  after 1 month: I think we occupied already all important Cambodian ships on the Mekong. The war will bwe finished very soon. Thereafterwe will have a bestowal of decorations.

I am on cloud nine !

oh stop whinging and whinning for 5 minutes  ......       your making fools of yourselves ....    ???? lol

 

Good jesture by Khun Prayut Chan O Cha .....   it's just a small price however i'm sure it will be appreciated by all.

 

Prayut already worries about the next election !

One time online worked for me, the next time not.

I avoid now to make myself angry, because of the unsuccessful trying. Do it now by post with the demanded documents. It's so relaxing. In general, ~ 1 week after sending the registered letter , I receive already the answer.

This month I will do it personally together with my yearly extension of stay.

And what does that prove? Maybe more people, especially up country, like Thaksin. But Thaksin is still a wanted criminal. And that status won't go away by majority vote.

 

And last but not least. I think it's almost funny when many people think Thaksin would have handled Covid better. Why? He was not in power and he didn't have to make, often difficult, decisions. It's obviously easy for Thaksin to criticize others and pretend he would have done it better. Would have, could have and all that.

If Thaksin is such a great guy why is he not PM anymore and hiding outside of Thailand? The short answer is: he could still be PM if he wouldn't have been so greedy.

Thank you blind eye (and deaf ear)!

• and why did Prayut make a coup?
• and why doesn't Prayut allow criticism?
• and why does Prayut save 45k vaccines without declaring for what?
• and why does Prayut order the lowest quality of vaccines after returning from China?
• and why does't he allow student protests and why does he send protester in prison?
• and why didn't Prayut swear an oath in the parliament?
• and why is Prayut a billionare with a "low" monthly salary in the army and now in the parliament?
• and why did Prayut manipulate the last "election"?.
• and why did Prayut not enter Corevac?
• and (most important) why did "sleepy Pinocchio" not react to the outbreak of Covid.
• the .lis goes on and on

If you go on reading more than the first line of my report, why are you not able to concede that Prayut ist still working as an incompetent dictator? You wouldn't like to compare Prayut to Thaksin, because Prayut is/was a lame duck! And Thaksin was not.

Can only speak for myself.

I pretty much did nothing, as you mentioned.

My plan was to wait until supplies became available. Was planning on waiting till end of year and paying at private hospital.

As I'm on the MRT decided to take up the 60+ offer at Bang Sue.

As it turns out you can 'fudge' where you live part so it is available for folk with access to Bangkok. One example Chonburi etc.

Dear Dr. Jack, I'm afraid a lot of (rich) falang people think: Thailand only consists of Bangkok and surrounding provinces plus Pattaya and maybe Phuket.

Not all farangs are as rich as you and other guys here in this forum.  In the remote (=other) regions there still isn't any vaccine available. You cannot receive any vaccine in the back of beyond (in Thailand), far away in the North or South. 

Even if you don't mind all this trouble - with the increasing danger of an infection during traveling - you have to spend a lot of time and money to go to BKK. You are not sure if you get the vax within the next day after arrival. More probably, you have to wate for many, many days or must go home and wate there for the appointment (?).

In general, I have the same idea as you, waiting just to the end of the year or so, until the better vaccines are available in private hospitals. But not in Bangkok!

Did you pay attention last year? Covid was all over the world and Thailand was until December 2020 almost Covid free.

I think we should see the big picture. As far as I know there is no major country anywhere in this world without Covid problems. Some had problems early, some later, some all the time. Obviously the current slow vaccination is a big problem and we should blame the Thai government for this problem. But at the same time we should recognize that Covid could habe been a lot worse than it was and is until now. Look i.e. at the so called first world country UK. There was a time when they had more than 50,000 infected people per day and now they are still over 20,000. And in total they have almost 130,000 Covid death. Did they, as an example, handle Covid so much better than Thailand? 

@OMF, Your "arguments" = defending the lame duck Prayut, made me laughing.

If I have to chose between 2 devils, I chose the one with the better character, that's Thaksin.

You attack Thaksin for killing people. But you negate the Prayuts Covid-killing. Yes, he didn't do it himself, the same as Thaksin. But Prayut had let it happen by doing nothing for whatever reason. That's murdering many, many Thai people.  When you pretend "Thailand was until December 2020 almost Covid free" then you repeat only the words of the regime. WE had here our own experience: the doctors in the hospital have been ordered to shut up and not to report the cases. Therefore: low numbers in the Thai statistics you believe in!

Furthermore, at least at the end of March 2020 everybody with a little brain could recognize the danger of Covid. Later on it was time to order vaccines. Prayut?: no orders, not asking for a membership in Corevac. Would like to order it himself for a "special reason". Before he had a quick visit in China. He didn't tell us about Sinovac orders. But everybody can guess the "thank-You" answer on Prayut's bank accounts. Pfizer and Moderna wouldn't offer a "special money".

A military leader with a monthly salary below 200.000 THB is a BILLIONARE???? ????  That is the answer, why I think so. And you think he has earned this huge amount by  honest working? 5555. Who can be so naive?

Headline ---->  military Pinoccio at his best !

At the moment I only would trust the leader of the former FF and his party. 

In strong contrast to the military regime they recognized already very early the covid-19 danger, whereas Prayut was and is a total failure with his "dubious" relationship to the Chinese and their vaccine.

I'm sure Thaksin would have managed the pandemia faster and with much better results - less cases and less dead people. He would be the winner of the next election. But we know how Prayut would manipulate it - also against law and order.

There was never any restriction for him to come back to Thailand. He has Thai citizenship, he could and can return anytime.

The only thing which holds him back is the fact that he thinks he is above the law. He is not. How many years does he need to understand that simple concept?

A typical Thai problem: he is not the only one "above the law". If the Thais would follow your "simple concept", the parliament nearly would be empty. And don't let me talk about the Thai bureaucrazy.

Compared to the military regime, Thaksin would be like a light in the end of a tunnel. Believe me, I never have been a Thaksin fan.

Rubbish all they have to do is follow the money, and check which senior officer was involved in blocking attempts of finding him, there is where the answers will be.

The rubbish is on your side!

Already long time before, he has opened an account in a foreign country, maybe Switzerland, under the name XYZ, but not his own. A large amount is resting there. Then he takes off money by cash, visa or/and any other card. For him: problem solved.

And there are more ways to receive father's money.  I.e., friends transfer cash to him, etc. etc.

(Opening) Kwasaki asks:

The news just talks of rain but there must of been an epicentre where the water came from. 

Anyone here know where all that water could of come from.

Sorry if you are being affected by this disaster.

------------------------

Easy answer: from the sky  !

But the real problem is why from the sky?

The earth is getting hotter, year by year, for many reasons (too much to explain it here). The not so heavy rain has been reduced by  CO-2 in the athmosphere. That seems not to be logical and is inconsistent. Now the explanation to this contradiction: the low/thin rainfall has been replaced by not so many, but  heavier rainfalls. Then the water doesn't/cannot seep into the earth, but runs down on the surface of the earth into rivers.

The reason for more heavy rain falls (detected by Clausius Clapeyron in the 19th century):   An air masse, satisfied by humidity, contains 7% more of steam, when the global earth-warming rises by only 1°  !  This is more than over the ocean (~2%).  Therefore, more stronger rain, but at the same time not so many rainfalls. That is due to climate change!

Maybe  the Sinovac (under table) money didn't wash enough money up in the pockets of the military junta. Now they try it by ordering submarines.

I think the only way he could get any confidence in any Chinese gunk would be to turn the internet off for 6 months

Hopefully he doesn't read your advice. Be never sure he would do it.

Why has Pfizer not been approved for use yet in Thailand. Sinopharm was done in record time...4 days wasn't it and over a weekend?

...? Easy to answer. Because now "administration" money  (out of Thailand) for the corrupt junta + cronies !
