You have to leave the country every 90 days (or sooner).

.....maybe the alternative could be never to buy in other's name ?....only rent with full open options to walk away one fine morning, with no house, debt, bank accounts in anybody else's name except oneself ? ? ?.....
Then you're back to the problem of no female company unless you pay them.
To get 'a woman who loves you for yourself' you need to dangle the house carrot.
On a side note, ever wondered why guys that live with mom and dad are universally despised by women?
The obvious answer is there's no house to be leveraged out of them, no court will give a woman your mom and dads house when it all goes wrong, she can't phone the police and get you out of the house by making any claims of violence.

I actually changed my old debit card at Bangkok Bank in Bangkok about 6 months ago for a mastercard. I asked the staff member if I could use it in the UK & she just said, "Not sure, maybe!" I haven't tried it yet.
BKB debit Mastercard AirBnB say no.
TMB debit VISA card AirBnB say yes.

Nothing wrong with eating a 200-300 grams of meat a day if not processed its actually healthier as being a total vegan. What is wrong is eating processed meats and other processed foods. That is what your causation shows it does not prove what you want it to prove.
Agreed,
As a meat eater, I've never had to take vitamin supplements/injections, or looked as pale, weak and unhealthy as many of the vegetarians I've encountered. If meat is so bad for us, why does it make us look and feel so good?

Your brit pal probably gave off signals he didn't like committment, not having a house is just one. Girls are getting fatter and fatter in the UK so who would commit to that
Tell your gf you aren't going to ever buy a house (in her or in your name).
See how long she stays around.

Your chances are probably better (maybe much better) than they appear to be after reading Thaivisa forums.
I'd prefer to take no chances at all, and absolutely know they'll let me in.

Why are their experiences different to ours?”
Your other posts tells a lot about your character, personality and morals. That's probably why their experiences (and mine) are different to yours.
So you want to compare your 90 day report experience with my marriage extension experience.
As for morals, I haven't felt the need to insult you, which must surely suggest something.
On ignore for the personal insult.

The reason why the gigantic food industries continue to extensively promote meat and dairy products is that there's no money to be made promoting Broccoli or other plant based foods.
There was me thinking it was because I like the taste of meat and dairy, and dislike the taste of broccoli, cabbage, cauliflower, etc.
Did I mention the vegan group I sometimes cycle with, who need to inject vitamins to help them get through the day, that doesn't seem very healthy to me.

And apart from jumping into the briny and swimming just how can anyone leave the UK without showing their Passport !
You show you have one, they don't record your name or passport number.

if no money is involved it's a bit easier to work out if they genuinely like you or not.
Good for you,
If there was no money involved, no woman would like me, I'm essentially unlikable to females.
I've got a Brit pal, great looking guy, athletic, intelligent, charming ,witty, works hard, earns lots.
The perfect man, apart from one small oddity, he's never wanted to own his own house.
We were chatting one day and he moaned about never being able to keep a girlfriend his entire life, he'd dated some real beauties back in London, but they always wandered off after a while.
I said to him, "did they leave before of after they discovered your attitude towards housing?"
A month of so later he got back to me and replied, "I never thought about that before, but it was always shortly after"

I don't consider the taxi drivers to be "riff-raff". They're just trying to make a living in a tourist town. No different than bar girls or massage "therapists". Definitely not beggars. And the woman in the mall was an attractive, fashionably dress 20-something.
I'm not thin skinned. Just trying to understand the culture better.
If you think taxi (and tuk tuk) drivers are anything more than low level criminals, you ain't understanding the culture at all. Ignore everyone whom you have no direct interest in hiring.

Guys just need to "keep it real" paying a girlfriend and thinking that she genuinely likes you is gullible. It's funny when a guy parades his new girlfriend around, it's very similar to buying or leasing a new car
Apart from your mom, thinking any woman has feelings for you (apart from those arising from self-interest) is a bit gullible.
Personally, I've always enjoyed driving around in a new car.

Too many here have this deluded vision that the Thais should stop what they are doing and wai or wave with a great big smile to the foreigner as they drive/walk by lol
As long as they move out of my way, why would I care what else they do?
Don't you just hate it when they just stand around blocking the sidewalk/stairs/doors?

The question I ask myself .... why would you care what the local riff-raff do?
Never acknowledge or make eye contact with beggars and street hawkers, they don't exist.

Compare all of this to what a Thai might have to go through to immigrate to my home country...
Probably no worse than a marriage extension, and they only need to do it once in their life, not every year.
Not to mention, immediately after they can own land, get free heath care, a pension, passport, etc.

If she is working on 25k a month why should she expect to be paid more by a boyfriend? how much older are you than your girlfriend? that will tell you if its genuine or not and that you will need to pay
Good point, on 25k/month that's more money than most Thai ladies earn, why would you give her any more?
If she can't live on that, she's hardly a keeper.

I don't give money to girls even when the pleading starts, many reasons but usually the money is just wasted and i would have to end the friendship after a while. As I don't give any money it's good when we see each other. I'm glad others do give money though.
As for paying a girlfriend, they are then just employees and the more you pay the more they dislike you. How do you know if they like you if you pay them? the answer is you won't and it's likely without the money they would go elsewhere
1. Why would I want to be friends with a woman?
Can they keep up with me when I'm hiking or cycling? ...... no
Can they talk about subjects that interest me? (women, beer, computers, football, science) ..... no
Do I want to hear all about their friendship problems, or their past lovers? ...... no
2. Why would I care if a woman likes me?
Will her liking me affect her willingness to have sex with me? ..... no, a 'real relationship' usually involves much less sex than simply paying.
Will her liking me save me any money? ..... no, in actual fact she'll probably expect me to spend more, on dates, gifts, etc.
3. Why would I be bothered if they go elsewhere?
Is there any lack of slim, attractive single moms needing some extra cash in Thailand? ....... no
Have I ever found any essential difference between one lover and another? ..... no

Chiang Mai Immigration 10.45 out in 1 hour, all documentation correct and extension approved.
This website is for informative comments and information to help others and I agree there is something odd about a few of the posters on this thread, who seem to have nothing better to do than make unsubstantiated posts!
52 posts and an immigration expert, I think not.
On ignore for lacking credibility.

My fiancé and I went to Bang Rak district office to complete what we believed to be the final administrative stage of getting married - we had followed all posted guidelines and recommendations and acquired affirmations of freedom to marry from the British Embassy - had all relevant documents officially translated and legalised at the Dept of Foreign Affairs and thought the final stage was registration at the Amphur. Apparently not. We had to submit documents and now wait up to 6 weeks while who knows who looks at the legalised and translated documents - in addition to the registrar we saw today - and I’ve been told I have to have a certification from a doctor to say I’m not pregnant?! Is this an April Fool? This was not mentioned on any posts from anyone else in the same position. Why is it made so hard for two nationals of another country to get married here?
Should have just tried another Amphur office, they all have their own rules.

There is no way you could have done this at CM Immigration. What I wrote is fact. If you would have shown up at CM Immigration at 10:45 am, you would be standing at the back of a long line in the parking lot waiting to get into the building just to get the first number. You need to rub those sleepy little eyes and wake up. This is for Chiang Mai Immigration, not the immigration office you visited.
Gotta say, I totally agree with you, no way you can even get in the door at CM Immigration without waiting for hours.
Unless you pay an agent to walk you in past the queues.
There's something very odd about a few of the posters on this thread.
Why are their experiences different to ours?
And before anyone starts posting their usual nonsense, I've never had any 'paperwork difficulties' all my difficulties have been about getting in to see an immigration officer, followed by their complete rudeness and belligerent attitudes.

90+% of tourists are not impacted by the TM30. It would only be an issue if you are planning to extend a 30 day on arrival stamp. It only impacts longer term stayers and is easily submitted through the website. To say your freedom of movement is restricted is a little dramatic. You obviously have a phone and an internet connection and submitting a TM30 takes about the same amount of time as it did for you to submit your post.
To be fair, you'd need some house documents to be able to do a TM30, before they let you do online reporting.
If it's a foreign landlord, immigration might just say no.
If it's a Thai landlord not reporting the rent to the tax man, landlord might just say no.

Paying Thai girlfriend a "salary"
in ASEAN NOW Community Pub
Posted
Very hard to 'outcraft' them in the west.
Apparently in Australia, sleep-overs for more than 50% of the nights over a 2 year stretch gives them entitlement to 50% of everything you own.
I guess getting a vasectomy and changing gfs every 18 months should fix the problem.
