the reason you present to the US office for the divorce would be your own - doubt it would be challenged or even investigated.

He probably means "Elite Government Schools" like Suan Kularb since there's no such thing as semi-private. It either is or it isn't private. You are correct in that money talks no matter the school. Assumption has more buffaloes than most farmers. The entrance exam determines the class at a schools that the students are excepted at. Not only the special IEP, EP MEP, etc but also the second digit of the normal classes such as 1/1, 1/2, 1/3, etc. The higher the second digit the lower the overall IQ of the students (or ability or just a measure of laziness). Nobody fails in Thailand. If the Thai ED system allowed failures there would be a HUGE lack of grads as well as teachers.

W/O trying to hijack the thread, was wondering what a person would/could do if married by a judge in an office (in the states) and the Thai woman vanished 3 months later after returning to Thailand (4 months after the judge office thing). Add to this that the current location is unknown and it was over 25 years ago. Would you still need to "serve papers" or just pay an annulment fee so that it just goes away like it never happened? Might be an option for the OP as well.

No, my wife and her parents are Thai and Thai tv is free. The 399 is for internet for everyone in the house so hardly "paying for tv". That's just a bonus.

We have a 3 rai fruit orchard and a fish pond. Internet is only 399 a month. (you can watch tv for free online with an HDMI cable from the cpu to the tv) Cooking is gas and we don't have a/c in every room going all the time so electric is around 1500. We buy the same meat/veggies at the local markets that the big, pricey chain stores have but 1/3 the cost. We feed 4, my wife and I and her parents. Everybody's medical is covered and we all chip in to the village "death fund" as I call it. Living like a Thai with few embellishments isn't costly. That's why I moved to Thailand. ps. for the skeptics - it's a 4 bdrm, 3 bath house and everyone has their own tv - we just don't live in front of them

OP - given the exact guidelines of your post let me say this - My wife and I live just how you described (Non-O married) and our expenses w/o the occasional splurge are around 10k BHT per month. (our truck and bike are paid for so only yearly insurance renewals)

while living out in the provinces a friend was shopping in BKK and found Kraft Mac-N-Cheese. He asked if I wanted some and I said yes. He mailed it and I'm still waiting. That was around 19 years ago. ????

If you're dealing with "hard water" then it could just be a build up of mineral deposits preventing proper function. Taking the handles off to see the connections will tell you. If it's a build up then sprinkle it with baking soda and use a stiff, non-metallic brush on it - rinse and repeat as necessary.

I don't know if you followed it or remember it but there was a really nice thread on here about 2-4 yrs ago (?) about train travel in Thailand. The guy did a great job with reports, videos and photos. My wife and I loved 3rd class car day trips or for a long weekend.

Why not try and contact your Canadian ambassador in BKK and/or your equivalent to the Secretary of State in Canada? Once on embassy soil they are considered to "be in Canada" and can be escorted to a plane.

Make sure your passport info is up to date. If you opened the account and later got a new passport, they won't let you use the new one w/o showing up in person with both.

A plaque informs (in translation) about the first Nawarat Bridge: “The construction of this bridge started in 1906 and was completed in 1910. Borneo Co, Ltd contributed 600 teak logs for its construction.” The bridge was a so-called Bowstring Bridge aka tied-arch bridge.

Neither of them are writing a "Tell-All" book and I don't let them use the phone or go out alone. ????

Maybe it never happened. Maybe she's a failed gold digger with a failed book. Maybe he's never been to that store. Maybe....sounds like reasonable doubt no matter how you slice it. It's really wrong to convict because you don't like someone. If that's the way things are going we need to hang every politician in DC.

why do you keep deflecting away from the fact that NObody saw him in that store at whatever time it 'supposedly' happened? I've taken several females to bed - how, where, when have nothing to do with anyone else. If you whisper dirty pillow talk to your wife does that mean you talk to every female that way?

should have given them a direct deposit account number - never trust the mail.

it's pretty open ????

That's her story, not mine. She claimed the attack happened in the changing room at the high-end department store. A man of his prominence would have been seen by the doorman, the consier and or the manager let alone been recognized if not acknowledged by %50+ of the customers. For her story to be true, they would have had to been the only 2 in the store.

Funny that absolutely NO ONE noticed the richest, most famous man in NYC roaming the ladies department stocking customers. Must have also walked or driven there alone? Maybe she should hire Micheal Avenatti. ????

They're twins ????

Mine are named "Fuk-Yu" and "Fuk-Me" ????

Kind of what I'm thinking also. Thanks for the PDF compression idea. Seems a good way to organize the 3 passports and save space. It's not really anything they asked for beyond absolute proof of our marriage being a true one. My idea for the visa/extensions covering the same period to back up photos, certificates and such. Was hoping for a way to get an official printout from the Thai government officials.

pretty sure information on marriage visas and extension history in Thailand wouldn't be found in "other countries" but thanks for trying. ????

This may be a question for the top visa experts only but...Has anyone ever requested or been able to obtain a complete Visa History of all their visas in Thailand? The reason for the question is: My wife recently joined me here in the states and the immigration folks here at USCIS want to see proof of our marriage history. (we're trying to get her B2 changed to permanent so she can get a green card and eventually citizenship) We've been married for 18 years and I switched from Non-B to Non-O married shortly after we got married so my stay in Thailand was no longer linked to the whim of an employer. If I could get a printout of my Non-O history on Thai Immigration letterhead it might help. My other option is multiple copies of multiple pages spanning 3 passports. TIA

Just thought I'd beef up your post replies. ???? As you seem a bit obtuse let's see if this helps then (took a whole 3 minutes to search) https://aseannow.com/topic/429751-where-can-i-buy-a-sausage-making-kit/ and if you still can't find anything, just order them: https://www.ubuy.co.th/en/brand/the-sausage-maker
