so more than a re extension using an agent in Pattaya (which  u  dont need show Baht in Bank) 
guess its good for under 50 year olds
BUT
wonder how many digital nomads in their 20-30's have 500,000 ( $13,500 gi ve or take a bit)  just sitting around and so far we dont knowif that needs be in a thai bank
 

wow a 6 month music festival  >>>>:-)

 "we dont knowif that needs be in a thai bank".  You can bet it will.

I think you've misunderstood.

You can only extend for 180 days once during the 5-year validity of the visa.

Yes I knew it would be to good to be true, Those running Thailand will never do anything positive involving retiree's.

If they don't ask for the 500k baht to be in Thailand, I would go for this visa..

So would I.

Looks good, might be an alternative to a retirement VISA/extension.

Stay 180 days, extend once (assuming 1,900bht), border hop, rinse and repeat.

Averaging 3,900bht/year.

Around the same cost as a retirement extension with multi re-entry, but 300kbht less in the bank required.

What's the betting that it won't be as simple as that? If they notice a lot of the retiree's changing to the DTV they will probably make changes that won't be to their advantage.

Of course I am bob.  All married expats married bargirls don't 'cha know? 

Just curious - did your 'wife' prostitute herself to marry you.  You know - selling her p**** for financial security?  Just saying...

I have had a very successful 18 year relationship with a University Graduate, 5 years GF then the rest as wife. If I found out now that she sometimes worked in a bar before she met me, it would not bother me at all as I believe that anything that happened before marriage is none of my business.

Who was the winner of that debate?

Depends if you tend to vote for the Tories or for Labour.

However, for me as an ROI citizen it shows that both are not capable to handle the situation with migrants. 

However, I saw Starmer to have a bigger view on NHS-problems and poor people's demands.🙏

A multi millionaire "Sir" having any genuine interest in NHS problems and poor peoples demands???? Aye right!

There's good and bad cops

 

enforcing the law seems optional

 

ok to give them extra money to do their job, my lawyer friend told me that

 

You don't see them out before 10am or if raining

If you regularly pass any Highway police stations, notice how often you see a patrol car sitting outside.

In my experience it is every time, so why are they not out doing their job?

aha ....  you could have taken a photo of it with your mobile ...  just quicker & easier.  

 

anyway,   once you can do this sequence ...  and you will just know how to do it easily,  you can do this every few weeks just to repair corrupt files and fix issues.   I run the sfc /scannow every week or so.  

If I had a printer that would have been best, it would have been a lot harder on my phone and would have lost it eventually.

Over heating, install Core Temp or Speccy to see if it is.......😉

What is Core Temp or Speccy?

did you try   ?

I have just finished writing down everything you have said, I will try it out tomorrow with my laptop unless my desktop cuts out again. I will keep the notes handy for any other time I may need them. Thanks.

it could be a heat issue .....  if it gets too hot windows will shut down automatically.  

 

Do you know how to run a system check  ?

 

I don't think it's a heat issue, I have AC running nearly all the time. I do not know how to run a system check, I suppose I could take it to my local computer shop.

Twice yesterday and twice today my all in one Acer desktop has just cut off while I was using it, then I can just turn it back on again.

Any ideas what could be causing this? A loose connection maybe? Surely if it was I would not be able to turn it back on again.

Wonderful coastlines within easy reach on North and Irish seas plus English channel. NHS, free bus travel, more economical breakfast cereals, milk and cheese. Hollands pies and proximity to Europe. Plenty of cheap flights to Portugal and Spain for holidays. Depending upon where you live may have a choice of bus and/or rail transport to your nearest airport.  

Council tax, excessive road tax and fuel tax. TV license, highly excessive power bills, dreadful weather most of the year, excessive taxes on alcohol and cigarettes, although that doesn't apply to me. Very unsafe to walk at night in the cities. Should I go on?

I think it refers to simply closing time... some have to close at midnight, some at 2am, some can go to 4am, all dependent on location and licence type. 

Nothing mentioned about brown envelopes then?

Yes, me too... They were a pain in the butt sometimes, but I loved looking at everything.  

I remember them, they were forcing people to walk on the busy Sukhumvit road to the danger of being hit by traffic.

The video is there on Youtube, it's very clear who the aggressor was.

I never looked at Youtube, but I do take your point.

Like I told Giddy up, I did not see the video, only a still picture.

The video clearly shows that the Brit thug king hit the Thai manager. Gutless.

True, but I only saw the still picture.

For the benefit of the poster with the confused emo, in most cases Thai's only fight when the odds are on their side, ie four to one. Still confused??

There are always 2 sides to every story, it would be interesting to see the footage leading up to the still image pictured.

But a young man punching an elderly man?? No excuse for that if it's true.

it's because Thai people never commit crimes such as this, only foreigners.

Great to hear a positive review about the driving habits and skills. 

 

My experience with mini vans has been so bad that I avoid them like the plague.  But that's probably the difference between well run visa runs catering to foreigners (with fixed seating) and a mini van that caters to locals where they pack the van at the origin then stop along the way to pack it even tighter.  The first time I took one (Kanchanaburi to BKK) was so bad I thought it had to be a fluke.  My 2nd trip was the last time I ever set my butt into a kamikaze van.  It was as every bit as bad as the first.  Glad to hear there's a comfortable visa run option.

 

 

I have used a minivan to go from upcountry to Bangkok regularly over the years, get picked up and dropped of at my house. Never once have I had a dangerous driver, yet my opinion of Thai drivers is well known on this forum.

I wasn't sure if allowed. It was 1st Class Visa Runs that operate out of Queen Vic on soi 6

 

My mate told me about it as there's no advertising out front of Queen Vic that I could see and I had to ask bar staff. She has a desk in the back corner

 

I used to use this company regularly at one time, great service, but they seem to have gone a bit overboard with their prices. Before the Chinese virus I did not pay much more than 2000Bt.

Hey man I just sent you a private message with the number of the company I use.

I agree with your comment about this forum also.

 

 

I have had a lot of help  from AN posters over the years, of the current regular posters there is only one who I would not recommend, he knows who he is.
