10 Million Baht ? Really ? Sounds like made up story to me. if it was say, 100K Baht, ya I could see it then.

It's actually for a friend of mine, He and his wife have retired to Thailand. I think they are going to go the Non-O for her, she is 33.

I read that is only good for 90 days the NON-O visiting Non Thais. can it be extended ?

Thanks, so after the older one gets his NON-O, submit the above on the E-Visa system ?

American married couple, one is 62, other is 35. The 62 year old can get a NON-O, but what type of visa for the under 50 person ? We are thinking of soft power DTV ?

From my experience as aircraft mechanic,and racing dirt bikes, the first step is start with the basics 1, inspect the spark plug, it will give you excellent starting point, Compare the plug with the many charts on the web. 2, check compression, place your thumb over the spark plug hole and crank the engine. It should try and push your thumb off the hole. 3, check spark, inset the spark plug into the plug wire, and touch the plug to the engine, and crank the engine, A, cold engine should be blue\white spark B, warm engine, same color. If the spark is weak, or a yellow color, points to a ignition issue , CDI, spark plug wire, coil 4, inspect and if needed change both air, and fuel filter 5, check intake system for air leaks with the engine running, spray carb cleaner over the engine. If the engine speeds up, you have air leak. 6 , if fuel injected, remove the injector. crank the engine, a fine mist should spray out if carb, while the engine is hot, and running spray carb cleaner into the air filter , if the engine runs better, clean the carb. The above steps will point in the right direction to troubleshoot the issue. On the burnt smell, First step is clean the engine, and inspect for any leaking gaskets , especially near the exhaust system. Without seeing it or the plug, sounds like a ignition issue , coil, cdi , stator gets warm, and misfires

I have small guest house next to my main house. I have local Thai that rents it out via Booking.com They get small cut and they do the TM 30, works out well.

I rent a nice 2 bedroom house , new construction , with 3 car parking area, and garden. 10K Baht a month, found it by driving around on my motorbike,. Also did the TM 30 myself as well. Took a Thai who speaks English to immigration , took like 5 minutes and very easy.

Thanks for all the replies. I will check with my local immigration office in Kanchanaburi to see exactly what they accept. My visa expires in Feb 2025. I will use the money in the bank method this time, and for 2026 use the income method. Have been using an agent but want to get away from that.

Can someone please explain the "combo method ", for getting a Non-o visa ? I know from internet searches, I need total of 800K baht in the Bank. So for example, if I had 6 months income from American Social Security at 65K per month, could I make the difference by money in the bank ? Of would need 12 straight months of deposits still ?

Check the IRS website, look under the US-Thai tax treaty. All your answers are right there. I'm an American expat and my US accountant , a former IRS agent and overseas tax advisor says I have nothing to worry about. You will be ok.

Anyone recommend a clinic in Bangkok for Botox for men ?

If an American that is getting Social Security dies, while living in Thailand would his Thai wife be entitled to the benefits ? Even though she has never lived in the states ?

How many 1000's of tourists each week rent motorbikes and don't have any accidents. So one tourist has accident and all motorbikes are death wish ?

If this is not the correct forum, mods, please move it, thanks. I'm buying a used vehicle from local dealer in Kanchanaburi, have placed a down deposit , and the balance due is 450000 baht. My question, what are the options for paying the dealer ? I have the funds in my Bangkok Bank account now. if I pay in cash It will take 9 days to withdraw the money, 50K limit per day. Is there another option such as transferring the whole amount to the dealer ?
