If want or need a full kitchen on a short term basis it could be difficult. The nice apartments/condos with all the amenities usually require a long term contract(6 or 12 months). I personally know of two apartments in CNX that offer month to month with a deposit. You can stay one or two months, get your deposit back(minus cleaning fee) and just leave. 1) Baan Thai apartments in the middle of Nimman and last I checked a decent studio was 7,000 2) Huay Kaew Residence on Huay Kaew Road but this area has gotten less attractive because Kad Suan Kaew shopping center closed last year. HK Residence has studio units(no kitchen) for 3500 to 6000. They do have some family units but they can go as high as 15,000. You might want to book a hotel for 3 or 4 days and go to many of the locations you like and ask if they will accept a mont to month tenant.

She came back on her own and was not extradited. I believe the federal charges will not be filed and the local prosecutor will handle everything.

In the US if you use an automobile to kill someone (especially if it was unintentional) the punishment can be light. The worst case of injustice I investigated was over 30 years ago when a rich and spoiled guy blew a red light and t-boned a Honda Civic and killed all 4 occupants. He was driving a BMW and was legally drunk. He plead No Contest to four counts of vehicular manslaughter and was sentenced to 10 years in state prison but served less than 3 years for good behavior and prison overcrowding. Of course he and his father settled for millions with the families of the victims. I see a similar outcome for Mrs. Howson. I doubt she has a criminal record and probably has a lot of money along with her husband. Her auto insurance carrier will probably decline coverage because she failed to stay at the scene of an involved traffic collision. The lawyers will be busy for years.

Not to mention the civil lawsuit for wrongful death will be easier with her back in the US.

I like that idea. I just wish the leadership at my pension board would get out of the 1980’s.

The pension board I am with is based out of California and lately they have been focusing in on overseas resident and anyone over 100 years old(I wonder how many of them are still ticking?). My biggest issue was the need to have my signature notarized on their “proof of life form”. Really not sure how I would have gotten this accomplished in a matter of 7 days. So in my case I bit the bullet and flew back to Los Angeles and presented the from in person along with two forms of identification. I fully realize there has been fraud in the past when a pensioner dies and the money continues to be deposited into the bank but if seems to me a better way would be a zoom call or even logging into the pension website and electronically acknowledging “I am still alive” from time to time. But what do I know? All of us living overseas will eventually get one of these letters.

I don't think there is specific age cutoff for Ed Visa's but look at it from the perspecrtive of the Immigration Officer who will approve or not approve an ED Visa. I have a 60 year old neighbor who was going to apply for an Ed Visa(to learn the Thai language). The school advised him to apply for a Non Immigrant O-Retirement Ext of Stay. The school told him that immigration might be suspicious of someone his age applying for an Ed Visa. You might want to ask some of the Self Defense/Muay Thai schools that offer Ed Visa's and see if age is a concern.

1. For a 90 Day visit a 60 Day Tourist Visa + 30 extension. You must leave the country to obtain a new TR. 2. For an OA you know the process of obtaining one is now a literal "pain in the ass". 3. Only 1 year policies are issued for OA Visa Health Insurance. Also, the requirement is now $100,000 or 3 Million Baht in coverage. The days of 400K/40K are over. Also, based upon age the premium for OA health insurance will be expensive. I am under 60 and my annual premium is 60K. 4. I really do not see an option of not leaving the country based upon your current circumstance. Others on the forum might have another suggestion. I am currently on the second year of my latest OA which was obtained from the Los Angeles Thai Consulate and the E-Visa process difficult and long winded. Good luck.

My pension board in California gave m3 30 days to get the form notarized and sent back to them. I had no choice but to fly back to Los Angeles and complete the process in person. I was not a nice person when I showed up at the local pension office. At least the UK office allows more than 30 days to respond.

Not that I am an expert at airports but visiting Narita and Haneda to get "insights" for U-Tapao seems misguided. Narita and Haneda are huge international airports. Actually visiting Chiang Mai airport seems more appropriate? What is the daily projected daily flight numbers for U-Tapao? Not calling this a junket to Japan, but???

Today was not so bad. AQI was only 148.

I have been retired in Chiang Mai for 6 years. I think the first question that needs to be answered is: What type of Visa are you going to pursue to retire? A) Non Imm OA Visa from a Thai Embassy or Consulate b) Non Imm O Extension of Stay that can be obtained in Thailand

Went through and back at BKK recently and just saw this posted: *For International Flights 4 hours might not be enough

What is Thai Airways motto or tag line? "Smooth as Silk". At least not in terms of picking up passenger trays. 2007 to 2009 flew with them quite often. Back then Thai has a nonstop from BKK to LAX on an A340-500. Service was outstanding and the cabin crew performed like Singapore Air Cabin Crew. The last tim I flew with Thai was back in 2013 from BKK-ICN-LAX and it felt like I was on a domestic United Airlines flight. The downfall of this once good airline has been a long term process. Thai Airways management cannot really use Covid as the reason for it's current problems.

Then why did the White House give Moscow a courtesy call before Biden’s visit?

So you know I hate POTUS? ‘Also, “risk of assassination is high”? Yes but this risk was minimized the day before this visit” The U.S. notified Russia of President Biden's secret visit to Ukraine hours before his departure in an attempt to avoid sparking conflict when he was in Kyiv, national security adviser Jake Sullivan told reporters Monday. This could not have been done last year?

What is the message? Extorting?

If Ukraine is so important then it took almost a year to visit Kyiv while just about every other prominent leader had the time to visit. One of the first things Rishi Sunak did after becoming Prime Minister of Great Britain was to visit Kyiv. If Biden was so busy with domestic issue then why not send the Vice President?

Thanks. I know a Ladyboy who might help me.

It is great but so far the following leaders have already visited Kyiv after the Russian Invation: 1. Boris Johnson(no longer in office) 2. Macron 3. Mario Draghi(no longer in office) ’4. Joannis of Romania 5. Trudeau Also, the leaders of the following countries have also visited Kyiv: Poland, Czech Republic, Estonia. Latvia and even Joko Widodo of Indonesia visited Zelenskky before Biden. “Better late than never”.

Wow. Thanks I just learned new definitions of Complaining and Arguing.

Ok. Great so not going to a business is now the new definition of complaining? So if this policy has been available for three years and i have been a frequent guest at this hotel and this is the first time I have seen it posted on the hotel website at checkout? Not arguing with you because then I would be complaining again.

Booked multiple times at this hotel’s website during and after the pandemic and never saw this special program at checkout until today. I am not complaining because TIT and there are always other options.

I was looking to stay at a hotel in CNX and found out this hotel offers a rather large discount to Thai Nationals. This discount program if one pays through an app for Thai Nationals is 40%. Not judging but just pointing out that I will not be going back to this hotel. I have stayed at this hotel many times over the years and never had a problem. 1 night: 12/Mar/2023 - 13/Mar/2023 Studio Suite - เราเที่ยวด้วยกัน (ชำระเงินผ่านAPP เป๋าตัง)1 adult view details / edit THB 3,300 TOTALTHB 3,300 'เราเที่ยวด้วยกัน' Thai national discount THB 1,320 BALANCE to be paidTHB 1,980 ผ่านแอปเป๋าตัง including all taxes and service charge Note: You will receive a payment link at 'Pao Tung' application (แอปเป๋าตัง) after 'We Travel Together' system opens again on the first day.

Hit and Run traffic collisions were very common during my time in Law Enforcement. Some of the reasons for not stopping after a collision were: 1. DUI(Alcohol, Drugs or both) 2. No current Drives License 3. No insurance 4. Driving a stolen car 5. Just committed a crime before the collision 6. An active arrest warrant for the driver I have never heard of the "I was in shock" defense. I believe she was driving an imported vehicle and appears to have been a upstanding citizen before this collision. Therefore, she probably has a current drivers license and insurance. I see a plea bargain as the logical outcome and a civil settlement with the family of the deceased.
