As far as I know the foreign father would not be allowed to take the children out of Thailand without written approval from the mother of the children. That alone should stop all possible bad scenarios. 

No always the case. I traveled with my Thai daughter to Europe several times without her mother... She was 14, 16 and 17... No single question was asked by immigration or airline staff.

Did you consider GoogleFi? It costs $20 per month for basic plan... I have a spare starting kit listed on Baht&Sold...

I set my up here in Thailand and it work great... With GoogleFi you will have one US based number in numerous foreign countries. Look it up online for more details.

2012, 24000km. Price 20000 Bht. Good condition, original owner. Documented service history. Bike located in Surin province. 0861086318

I have Scrambler62 for over 3 years now... Great bike and handles very well. I put over 22000km on it without any issues. My schedule maintenance is with Ducati Buriram and their service is good but sometimes it takes a few days to get an appointment. You can't just show up there and expect to be serviced the same day...

Please let me know how this extension work out for you... I'm in exactly the same situation, single father of Thai child and I also use Kapchoeng for my extension. My current extension runs out on 25 June 2019.

They might be using ballast water in order to maintain desired "trim". Trim is the difference between forward and after draft of the ship. Having desired trim will increase ship's steerage while going up river... In other words, having desired trim, will make ship more maneuverable in the water...

So confirmation its useless without further proof of ID such as DL or PP

No, it is not useless.... See my earlier post.

I find Google Maps are more reliable than Garmin GPS with Thailand maps on it.

Thank You everyone for your input. I received my re-entry permit yesterday in Kapchoeng... All completed in about 35 min.

My last Non-O visa expired on April 8 this year but my last 90 day stamp will allow me to stay here till June 25... I just found out that I have to go to Singapore for two days before the end of this month (May 2018) and I was wondering if I can still use Reentry Permit to return to Thailand. The reason that I want to keep the 90 day entry in tact is because I was planning to apply for one year extension based on being 50 years old.

OP is right. It is almost impossible to get a police clearance letter if you can't prove that you've been living in local area for some specified amount of time recently... I tried to get it a few years ago in Los Angeles area and one of the requirements was to show utility bills in my name for at least one year... You can request an FBI clearance letter or whatever it is called but it takes a while to get it.

I don't know where you guys get these women from...there are many well educated & well off women around who are desperate for men not money!!

Or is it only me who is meeting them?

Yeah, it is only you....

Based on some responses it s
eems like the biggest benefit is for the farang to get on corrupton bandwagon...

I'm happy to inform you that I finally received my registration book... It showed up in the mail Tuesday, 2 Nov.  I did not get the metal plate and I'm not sure if it is coming later or I have to go to the Registration Office to get it... I'd like to say thank you to Kannikar from Ducati who definitely got the the whole thing moving.

Just to keep you all up to date, I received encouraging email from Kannikar who is affiliated with Ducati Thailand... According to him there is one more step to complete before I can get my registration papers. Unfortunately, I'm out of the country at this time and not much can be done until I get back to Thailand.

I live in Surin... There is a Ducati in Buriram but I did not buy directly from them because they said it would take over a month to get that particular model... By buying in BKK I had it delivered, free of charge, within 4 days.  I never got a red license plate either. About 4 years ago I bought Kawasaki in Korat and they registered it in there. I still have the bike with original license plate and never had a problem with renewing registration and paying road tax... I was told by Ducati that I can't start the registration process by myself and they have to do it.  I really like to get my registration papers soon so I can ride to other parts of the country.

"Similar response" to what I've been getting from Ducati.

I bought a Ducati Scrambler in early June in BKK and the price included registration and license plate fee. Since I live in different province I was asked whether I want a BKK license plate or my local province's plate. Initially I opted for BKK but a few days later I got a call from Ducati informing me that according to a new regulation I have to have a plate from the province where I reside (this was also going to cost me 2000 Baht more). After paying additional money Ducati assured me that they will take care of everything and I should have my registration in a couple of months... Well, It has been four and half months and I'm still waiting for the paperwork... Each time I called Ducati I was told that everything is on track and I should be getting my paperwork shortly. Last week, while at local Ducati dealership, I spoke to another foreigner who told me that he has been waiting for about a year for his registration papers and gets similar response from Ducati people... I remember reading about Vespa dealer and his recent trouble with Thai tax authority and I hope that Ducati Thailand is on solid legal footing in this country. Does anyone know an "average" waiting time for registration paperwork on Big Bikes? 

Here are few pictures.

New staff

There is a new restaurant in Buached with a foreign food and great staff. It is called Pinto, next to the market. Good watering hole.

In order for a foreign spouse to collect SS survivor benefits she would have to reside in US for at least 5 years with her husband after getting married.
