nothing like quality time in nature,
it is estimated 2/3 of the worlds small plastic bags come from thailand due to the 'take away" culture.
whomever invents a bag that can compose but still hold hot water 5 hours
will do the world a favor and get rich at the same time

 
The link has a sidebar with the map location shown. It's in Guam, so not much use to us. As to public transportation, how much time do you have for your trip(s) to the beach? Are we talking day trips, weekend, a week..?

 
Let me guess, you didn't click on the link, Sunshine.
 
Hint: It's not Thailand.

 
He said beach with cleanest water. For that you can skip all the beaches within 200km of Bangkok, trash or no trash. I looked at the pollution in satellite imagery a few years ago, there's nothing 'clean' near Bangkok. Where the clean (cleaner) water starts also depends on seasonal currents. Search Google for "free satellite imagery" for [near] real time imagery. So, clean water and no trash (human or plastic), Good Luck.

It sounds like a good beach. But I'm not a rich foreigner with a car. I need public transportation.

That's right. Now I remember. But  I had to go back to the US embassy  and pay again for another one because immigration said they lost the one I submitted  before !

 Maybe he is right. I can't remember for sure. I thought as long as you are here legally you just go  and get it.

But, yes, When I got my ret visa 3 years ago, I already had got the 60 day visa from  the Thai embassy in Washington  D C

Right. They don't ask anything. You just show the proof of income and application form for the ret. visa. That's all.

You don't convert it to anything. You just get the ret. visa

What do you think the affidavit is? It's proof of income! Take it to imm. , pay the fee and get your ret. visa and go.

Thanks!

I'd rather get the affidavit than transfer all that money to a Thai bank account, and I've heard it's easier. This is starting to be more clear.

1) I apply to convert my tourist visa to a non-Imm O for 2,000 baht within the last 30 days of my 60 day tourist visa. I'm assuming that is a 30 day extension?

2) I get an income avidavit from the US consulate in CM for $50. (Can I get that before getting the non-imm visa, or can I at least schedule an appointment ahead of time that falls within the earlier part of that 30 day window so it's not a race against time?)

3) I go back to immigration with my affidavit and whatever other necessary documentation and then I get my one year extension. And I don't need to leave the country! How much is the one year extension?

What the Hell is a yaught ?

Hi there, my name’s Patrick and I’m a recovered alcoholic. If there are any alcoholics out there suffering, please feel free to PM me and I’d be happy to tell you how I recovered.
I go to AA but totally disagree with the watered down version they have these days, i.e “one day at a time”, “just go to meetings” , “the only requirement for membership is a desire to stop drinking” etc

Dude was 62 and probably married a local younger than his daughter. Could be foul play or maybe it’s just some old guy who had more sex in a month than he did his whole life and his poor heart gave out.

So a local man died as well?

To be " surprised literally how much easier " as opposed to what, "surprised figuratively " ?

I thought probably so.

I am wondering how much in advance of expiration date   ( January  26 )  I should   go to get another retirement visa. Does it matter if I go in December or will they say its too early ?

My neighbor was a three pack a day smoker, who cut down to two packs a day. He told me he had been smoking  for 30 years. At 54, he had a stroke. It was pretty bad. He couldn't talk for weeks  He had a physical therapist come several times a week.
Now he is back to two packs a day.
What have you done to change your lifestyle to make it healthier?

This is getting scary. Most of the time my entire body is hurting, every muscle, every bone. Every kind of movement causes discomfort.
Never heard of anything like that. I am afraid to mention this to the Medics, fearing they will classify me as a hypochondriac, or them sending me off to the nearest psychiatrist.
This sounds like a joke, but to me, the problem is VERY REAL.
Anyone?
Thx & cheers.
