Please I do not deserve any personal negative posts. I do have  a retirement, social security and  disabity income. I just do not or will not have that kind of money in any bank. 

As stated I am very sick and just want to finish my life here in peace. Immigration here are unreasonable IMHO. 

Moving will be so hard on me financially and physically too. I now have a rare skin disease that has piled on me. I want to die here. 

I value constructive comments if you can? 

Sorry to hear, it´s really sad, but what do you expect Thailand to do about it? Money is King here..

I remember one long day at Dor Mor, CW, an old American gentleman was walking around giving kanom to the staff, he was very sick, he´d  p!ssed in his pants, and everyone felt sorry for him, but he got his extension, crabbed out the office, and went somewhere, probably a 2.000 B room in Min Buri or something similar. I´ve seen too many of these guys in Bangkok during the years I stayed there... He should have left this crazy country years ago, it´s no good country for old, sick and poor men, no Sir..

More off topic posts removed.

There are innumerable threads in the Thai visa forum running on visa requirements. And OP has pisted in some of them.

Please pist issues related to Thai visa requirements there.

This is the Cambodia forum. Thread is about details, pros and cons of relocation to Cambodia.

Yeah, we understand that, and thanks for the 2nd reminder, but the OP started off talking about Thailand and being "forced out" - so IMO you WILL have comments about that fact, i.e. why being forced? Dor Mor? Money? Whatever.. But w-t-f do I know in this geezer lounge? Stickman warned me about it, hahaha! Sorry for pisting off topic here... ????

Thank you for the advice, will do that.

Where can I find this awesome amplifier? Info. is very much appreciated about 2nd hand audiophile shops in Bangkok.

One of the best amplifiers ever made IMO.

Hit by 6 large Changs, hehe..!

But not like the "old days" with 640 Cl and 6 or 7% alcohol, can´t remembwer, on my 5th Chang now.

Check the bottle, 630 Cl and 6%.

Melatonin, much better, no sideeffects.

»Is anyone else taking this kind of gamble with insurance?«

Yes, I´m considering to scrap my 15,848 THB pr. year Insurance (I´m 59), and just go with a PA from either K-Bank or Bangkok Bank.

Why?

Because if bad luck hits and I need a "biggie" - heart, stroke, aneurism etc. - the mediocre insurance I have won´t be enough!

Examples: "Surgical fee, actual but not exceeding 60,000 THB" - "General expenses 40,000 THB." - "Room and board 4,000 THB".

I live close to Ramkhamhaeng and Samitivej Srinakarin Hospitals and will use them in an eventual emergency, I won´t get much covered there with this insurance IMO.

As for the grenade attack, its disgusting, but do we know the motive or the attacker ?

We know who the attacker was:

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=GlR2GA_lgjA

Look closely at the YouTube video around 0.12 - 0.13 - something is thrown out the window from the white pick-up.

Yes, it´s blurry and difficult to see what it is, but I´ve seen it on Thai TV tonight, with much sharper image, and there´s no doubt that a grenade was thrown from the car.

Who was it?

Well, would a UDD car be allowed to follow the PDRC procession?

IMO it´s a typical "blame the other part" set-up, which is so very often used here in this crazy country!

Tried the Airport Link once, won´t do it again, it´s a nightmare!

Crowded, walk too far with luggage, got off at Ramkhamhaeng, elevators not working, the place looked like ½ finished.

Had too walk down, result: Suitcase broken.

Down on the road, no taxistands, nothing, you are dumped right on the road, no sidewalk, just some construction going on as always, and you are in the way of workers, cementtrucks, motosai taxis, vendors and stuff, typical Bangkok.

Never again...

Get "Ars Ant Killer" - I think that´s what Pomthai mentioned in post #5

I bought it at The Mall. BigC and Lotus might have them too.

Very effective.

The most scary thing is that we - The Honourable Guests - in this absurd 3rd world backyard are looked upon as the idiots, because we laugh at this crazyness!

What about your wifes, and how many stupid Lakorns they view? How many of them are full of pii this and pii that? Monks in them too, blessing this and that, oh my, this country and it´s childish populace are steadily moving backwards in both time and evolution.

- and now the "children" have big SUV´s too, but what about driving?

Mai pen rai, fake it till you make it, LOL...

I'm confused, <deleted> does the Election Commission have to do with budgets and other govt business other than elections?

Yep, why is that?

Seems to me that right now there´s no boss, no real poo yai, no real powercenter, so all Gov. Agencies are showing off them red baboon *sses!

Stupid 3rd world backyard country, let the military take over for min. 10 years, keep the idiots under control, and the Baht down, way down...

Good for me, good for tourism, good for all.

If you don´t have the brains to know real democracy from the fake/copy one, then you deserve the Taharn to keep you in check.

It´s Christmas, no reporting of anything.

Same night a 58 year old Italian man was attacked by two thai males on Bangla Road, they hit him in the head with a full beerbottle.

The hospital managed to repair him with 65 stitches.

Be careful in Phucket, it´s a hellhole, like so many other places in LOS...

PS: And how do I know this? Wife´ s niece who live with him, phoned yesterday and told it.

Still much that is cheap here,

but with Thailand's inflation (20-30% / year), it's just a matter of time.

"The inflation rate in Thailand was recorded at 1.92 percent in November of 2013. Inflation Rate in Thailand is reported by the Bureau of Trade and Economic Indices, Ministry of Commerce, Thailand. Inflation Rate in Thailand averaged 4.61 Percent from 1977 until 2013, reaching an all time high of 24.56 Percent in June of 1980 and a record low of -4.38 Percent in July of 2009."

That's from http://www.tradingeconomics.com/thailand/inflation-cpi

From 2000-2013, inflation is Thailand has averaged around 3.0 to 3.5%.

You believe this cr*p?

3rd world countries usually fake inflation numbers by choosing products on inflation calculations. For example, they don't include price hike on Beef, but perhaps they include price of CP fish or something. They don't include price of gasohol or lpg, but they include heavily subsidied CNG or price fixed Diesel instead. They include price of national park tickets for Thai, but they don't include price hike of street food.

Understand?

Yes Sir, and the United States of Bluff and Bull does it too!

US, REAL inflation at 20-30% - same, same here in LOS.

Beer, booze, streetfood, hom mali, cooking oil, etc. etc. - everything has gone up, crazy up..

CW is open, but crowded, took me 4 hours for extension yesterday. Seems that people haven´t used the temp. office in Ladprao, but waited for CW to re-open.

I would have just rolled with it, even the extra 100 baht. At least you got your extension.

Try taking your wife to the UK or the US and what you did was a cake walk.

Sorry to rain on your parade, but sometimes you have to "go along to get along." 100 baht?

You're not raining on my parade at all my friend - I've taken my wife to the UK on several occasions and although it was not a "cake walk" we certainly weren't expected to eat <deleted>.

You may have missed all the excitement down in Bangkok, but the main theme behind the demonstrations is a wish to rid the country of corruption.......................just going with the flow.

Yep, and I can promise they will try to get rid of all Farang too, how about that???

You really, really, made a complete and utter fool out of yourself playing that typical "insulted Farang game" - get over it, forget it, it´s Thailand, they can do whatever they want with you.

Then go find that one, OK?!!

'The photo of the wai below the naval by Gen. Prem to Thaksin is legendary'

Bull**** - look here:

The problem is that they are all Chinese, not Thai!

My wife from Nong Khod outside Nakhon Sawan is Thai, and the Chinese live in NS, sucking the blood and money out of the locals.

That´s the ultimate problem and conflict in Thailand.

Suggestion:

Split up, make two: Red and a yellow / Thai and Chinese.

- or there will be blood, I guarantee you...
