Why?

Can you drive to BKK without an overnighter whilst recharging?

Whilst I don't know the expat community in the city mentioned, i have lived/worked in Isaan for the last 18 odd years. Most people here are either (mainly, not 100%) retired or younger teachers. I would suggest that most will not care that he is gay, but what might give him more trouble, is that he is 'extroverted' because some might have different takes on that and see it as rude, unfriendly, overpowering because they are quiet people (of any gender). just my two-penneth!

It was a reply to his PM to me. No secrecy.

PM sent

In a country where nobody can fail and where promotions are bought. This is all just window dressing IMO!

No.

If you knew a bit about Isaan, Youd know that they are few and far between in the :Jungle:

There WAS also The Oasis Bar, both now gone and owners are in the great bar in the sky!!!

There was a Farang Connection in Surin many years ago (near to the Bus station and Majestic Hotel). The owner, Martin died many years ago (maybe 14 years) and the place then closed.

Guess they've made enough money!

Thats a bit of bad timing because Royal Enfield Thailand will be having a second "REUNION" meet, specifically for Isaan in about a months' time. I am not aware of any RE dealerships closing.

If one has already married, then divorced in Thailand (and all documentation held), do you still have to go through the hoops again a second time to remarry?

I have always used the old couple who have a shop opposite to Kessiri Hotel. Very reasonable prices too.

They paid China 37 Billion Baht for a Frigate, that is a Submarine support vehicle too!

Easier to use Xylitol.

Saw a walk-round video of this place a while ago and it was shocking. Like a war zone now!!!!

Exactly. How does changing requirements stop this? As usual, they deal with the problem, instead of the cause.

I enquired only last week, at an IO linked to Ubon and despite me doing my last 12years B visa extensions there, they insisted on seeing 12 months' income from abroad, to get a retirement visa on that basis.

I get mine via Lazada.

Its actually called 'Ubon expat food' instead of what is mentioned in the title of this thread.

Yes, he is Alan and yes, he closes on Saturdays. Been a regular customer (and tea drinker there) for years

Thanks for info and sorry to be pedantic, but what amount do they want to see in my UK bank and for how long? I get a second pension just before Xmas, that will give me +65k monthly total income but the visa will be required 2 months before that starts (30th Sept). I do have funds 'sitting' in my UK account. I'm 66 next birthday and had a 'B' visa for the last 11 years.

Can you get a retirement visa there, without funds in a Thai bank too? If so what do you need to provide to Laos consulate, please?

Apollo & Acetylene are near to each other and seem popular/ in the centre of town with the younger people.
