I was a Captain for a Thai airline. The standards for training were very low. The maintenance of the aircraft was very very bad. The "technicians" signed off defects as having been fixed when they weren't. Co-pilots were promoted to Captain because they were Thai even though they were inexperienced and not up to the job. The company also regularly underpaid the staff with total disregard to their contracts
They didn't even arrange work permits. Needless to say I soon left along with most other expats. The airline is now staffed by the guys who can't work anywhere else as nobody will employ them.
It is of no surprise to me that other countries are starting see the light about Thai aviation.

OK thanks for the info I'll just keep extending my stay each year based on retirement. It's a quick process anyway.

How about permanent residency then ?

Well that sucks I thought applications were accepted on "humanitarian" grounds, one of those being resident in Thailand to support a Thai wife.

Thanks for the quick reply - just curious why no ?

Hi, I am here on my fourth retirement extension and my wife of 7 years is Thai. I have never worked here and therefore have no tax returns. Could I successfully apply for Thai Citizenship? Thanks in advance.

9 months is the maximum added

If renewed early then UK passport will be valid for 10 years and nine months from application date

We live in the countryside outside Cha-Am and most of our mail never gets delivered and simply disappears! The post office tell us that they give the mail to the village leader and are not responsible for what happens to it after that ! Even EMS is often not sent. Very frustrating. I guess the village leader just takes the money he is paid by the post office (I assume he gets paid for it ?) and then just chucks away the mail.
