I would just have to kill myself somehow in Thai police custody. Needing medication to control severe anxiety, I'm guessing I wouldn't be afforded any compassion especially with such a condition because the affects are not seen by the witnessing person. But inside the feeling is unbearable. This guy must be feeling terrible regardless of his strength. 

Has there not been a response by the Thai authority regarding the undeniable claim that the guy has an alibi.

I.e the time of destruction of police property happened while he was playing football.

I can only imagine that those details are not true or he would be set free.

I figure the balding pot belly chaps get their bellies rubbed. Easy fix. Go and seen doctor damnkerng pathomnavich in Bangkok for a hair transplant. I did. Fantastic job.

I witnessed one Thai lady ask another how long before the baby is due? There was no baby. I could see it but the Thai lady asking couldn't see it that the over weight lady was just choosing the wrong dress. 

Your computer may have a windows restore partition on it. Usually accessed by continually pressing a fn key immediately after computer has switch on button pressed after a complete shutdown not just sleep mode. What's your model? Usually printed underside. Google the model number with "how to factory reset restore windows" you can do it yourself.

Also I don't recommend having antivirus on computer permanently.

They end up doing more harm from my 10 years experience in repair shop. Sensible browsing is a much better protector. But the industry still pushes scare tactics so they are popular. Did you have antivirus? Did it stop this problem from occuring?

If you are wanting to go for an SSD I have a 250gb SSD Samsung brand for sale. PM me if you are wanting to use SSD. The guys on this forum will tell you what's a fair price for one.

It will speed up computer. For example boot up time will go from around 30 sec. To 10 seconds. Strongly recommended.

Good luck

It's hard to say because people don't want to share their finance details.

But I'll at least say this...way back I had to wait 3 months for full payments to start because of total assets

Those with 20+ solar panels will be ok.

I feel for the battlers. People with houses under 400k and combined income under ?? Should be given free solar panels and pay them off over time with their feed in credit.

Let the sun pay for it.

Am I right in saying things are more likely to go smoother when dealing with your own countries Thai embassy for longer visas.

That has been my experience for B and O visas in the past. But I have had some kookey looney situations occur in the past. Maybe just my bad luck.

It's not used to enforce the understanding of temporary, it's just exactly that. Temporary. Holder must leave the Kingdom within specified date. Offenders will be prosecuted. Is that not what's written on these "retirement extensions"?

 

Permanent residence is also available in Thailand, if you worked for a few years and paid taxes.

My point was , temporary non O visa with extensions is indicating less of a tie to the country than displaying temporary retirement visa.

I would say residence is available only to the very lucky few. So few and near impossible to get. I think only two known on this forum.

Thailand is an old proud country. Thailand is for Thai people only as compared to Australia or England that offer citizenships. Some say Australia could learn a lot from Thailand immigration policy. I am indifferent about the matter. Probably for the reason that Freddy Mercury suggested. I.e I'll be dead soon and nothing really matters.

I think the extension terminology is used to enforce the understanding that you're a temporary visitor to thailand even if retired.

This  ties in with my understanding that you will still certainly be classified as a permanent resident of your native country even if claiming to be retired in Thailand.

I.e. how can you claim to be a permanent resident of Thailand when the government only allows you temporary stay.

If you put 800'000 into buying a condo, what are you going to live off?

I think the argument stands the same if it has to be in a bank account.

Generally, the richer people I know are not compassionate about sharing. They don't need so much money, but more important to them , they don't want to give it to any one or have others have more. I think there is an issue with some people not having the guilty emotion gene too.

If it's not signed and also have signed witnesses it's not a will. 

Invalid.

             Work  permit ?,  i doubt  it. 555

That's one thing I asked about.

He said. Very quick, they were to give him a work permit. I didn't ask to see it ????

Anything can end up being possible

Working with no qualifications whatsover with no permits to being asked to supply more than one qualification and being asked to leave the country for visa requirements and being asked to follow teacher licencing rules

The golden rule I think is go along with what the employer says and don't upset anyone.

I personally have stopped teaching here because of the anti sentiment bureaucracy. 

South korea offer free accommodation, good salary and flights. 

If I need to work I'd go there instead.

How about retirees are offered a free business class Thai airways trip to Thailand if they decide to spend their life savings in Thailand.

My laptop is up for sale.

Toshiba PC L850 i5 white

15" SSD drive boots up in 10 seconds. Office 2013.

New battery.

If you are interested and need another lappy if you couldn't recover yours.

Your mission , if you choose to accept it , PM me.

Is the work permit being supplied before starting work? Or are they asking for you to wait 3 months while you work before they apply?

Has anybody spoken much to the young falang man employed by jomtien immigration. He was in the photocopy office. I'm guessing he would be a wealth of information. I talked to him for a bit and recommend him for help on finding out about extensions, agents, requirements etc. I was really surprised to see them employ someone so young. He speaks 4 languages. I guess that helped him hit the jackpot.. 

I believe the agent uses his own 800k for seasoning. The deal that is made with IO for how long is most likely short time. 

So if the 800k gets the agent 10k after 3 months for service fee, that's 10/800 X 4 = 5 %p.a 

Banks giving 1 or 2 %??

But I'd think the agent would be better buying a condo and getting more bang for the investment buck.

Anyway I don't think it's left in for the whole 3 months and they charge more than 10k usually.

Anybody going through an agent that lends the money care to share experience?

Well AFLW is underway and they bill it as arch rivals Collingwood & Geelong.  Correct me if I'm wrong but isn't this Geelong ' s first game?  They also billed the legends of the game, how does one become a legend after 6 games?  

 

Gave it 15 minutes of viewing and pure and absolutely poor skills and rubbish. 

 

Why is the AFL spending hundreds of millions on this absolute rubbish?  It's still free admissions and no revenue gained

In response to that I,d just like to say,

GO TIGER!

Really looking forward to the boys are back tune and bananas and boomerangs from pockets.

Let the lady's play. No harm done.

When they play just schedule a nap.

In regards to post where couple hand back health care cards, I know a really well off guy who stretches the truth, the rules and manipulates his wealth so he gets a health card. A pie wealth system run by the rich will be for the riches plates to throw on as many chocolate caramel pudding slices as they can even if they won't be eaten.

Perhaps Agents are relatives, friends, friends of friends, long standing business partners.

If that is the case then new rules are not trumping that from what I've heard.

If you've been going through an agent I don't think much will change. The agent closer to the champion officers at the top should still be able to perform their magic.

800.000 baht is not very much if you genuinely have retired and have committed to living in Thailand.

Maybe the people getting worried do not really have enough to retire here? I know many people worry about the exchange rates,if that is the case again maybe they are not financially ready for retirement here?

I am far from being well off but I have put enough money in a Thai account to ensure a worry free retirement.

Interest rates here are no worse than my home country. I am not wealthy enough to speculate and possibly lose on the investment of stocks and shares . Therefore I see no reason not to have savings here.

 

Thai immigration don't allow a commitment for permanent living or permit you a full time retirement visa. You are allowed extended stays based on retirement age. I think a fairer way is to say leave 800 K in the bank and here's your retirement visa for 10 years.

You are missing the point. When an immigration official (illegally) asks for owner's details which the owner declines to supply,  you have the option of doing exactly as TallGuyJohninBKK did, described in this post:

 

 

The only item I would add to the above list is a stamped, self-addressed envelope for the return of the notification receipt, which TallGuyJohninBKK probably also mailed.

The officers wanting to go by their rules may be tossing those letters in bin, but I agree it is a very good way to avoid the owner detail problem. 

Also, the lawyers I visited to discuss execution of will were not clear with the descriptions and dodged questions and asked for large percentage of estate.

I've been told there are lawyers at the provincial court. I am yet to visit but want to one day.
