In my experience its always Thai's playing music on the beach, normally on a Thai bank holiday when all the brainless families come down from Bangkok to get drunk on the beach and drive back. Shouting at each other even if the person they are speaking to is sitting next to them. If you want to listen to music play it via headphones and dont disturb everyone else. I like beach to be peaceful and relaxing, not a warzone.

Is there a form that needs to be completed or is it just a case of taking both passports to immigration. Jomtien is my office Thanks

Just giving my 2 pence worth. I use an agent, 12,900 baht because. (1) I split my time 8 months Thailand and 4 months UK. (2) I am asset rich and cash poor. I dont have 400k/800k to leave in a Thai bank but I own outright my UK house £350k and with my Thai wife our house in Thailand 7 million baht. (3) I have a net UK monthly income of £2300 or just over 100k baht (4) I dont wish to transfer 65k over a month. Much rather pay by no fee credit card where I can and transfer over via Wise 10,000 baht for cash when I need it.

They sell these in Tops, Villa Market and Siam Expat Food.

I hope you can make sense with all the pedantic replies. You say visa but what you really mean is your extension of stay stamp (this is not a Visa) and your arrival stamp. Yes this can be transferred free by filling in the form quoted. I hope this answers your question which many posters like to give you a confused answer to make themselves look clever.

Lo you are so funny. No one gets invited to a Gentleman's Club, you just go there. Its just a posh name for a bar in an enclosed environment, with hostesses. By the way a new site with a list of venue's in and around Pattaya for everyone's information. https://www.gentsclubs.com/?fbclid=IwAR39RPkYpeAY0-jk-KxdKi9HKXNwcVKgNbgvmc3U4fhES0z7vlfVV0MFlpY

An agent will do it for 1,500 all in, if you dont want the hassle of going there.

Total BS. I met my Thai wife when she was 19 now 31, there was no suggestion that this was illegal.

You will always get buffering via a firestick unless the wifi is of excellent quality. I have Wizz TV but I run it via an Android box and an ethernet cable. Its perfect no buffering at all.

Sounds like you have been on the wacky backy.

I understand that. I dont think his ability to spell is flawed, its his attention to detail. Most people check thier spelling before they post, especially if using a mobile. I personally make many errors, but correct them when I proof read before posting. I suspect this gentleman simply made an error and misspelt his own name.

Considering the spelling mistake in your post I suspect it was your mistake.

Do you mean for gym membership? Direct debit does exist for water, electric bills etc.

I would never ever marry a bar girl. I would however marry a gogo girl. In fact I did in 2014 after being with her since 2011. We are still very happily married in 2023. We split our time between the UK and Thailand, my family love her. We have loads in common despite the age difference. Me 67 and her 31.

If thats your idea of a joke I pity you. The ones who laughed did so out of pity for you.

You are so naive. This is normal in India. I was lucky enough to go to India many times on business. A wonderful country with welcoming people. Granted I was lucky to stay in top class hotels. The poverty is in your face and far far worse than Thailand.

Yes based on the information you provided your plan is sound to get a Non O and then convert to an extension based on Retirement once you are 50. Alternatively you could enter visa exempt and convert to obtain the Non O and extension in Thailand.

Absolute load of lies and pifle. Yes 20 years ago now no. I load of rubbish I say. Just because a girl looks small doesnt mean she is underage. The girls work becausr they choose too.

I had just the same issue as you. Passport expiry April 25, extension of stay expiry May 24. I realised next renewal I would only get 11 months. That did not fit with my schedule of split time in UK/Thailand. I decided as I am here in the UK at this time to get a new passport even though I had 22 months left. All done online, passport back in 3 weeks.

Dont compicate things Air Con for heavens sake

Download the VYKE app and register. Buy $3 credit and make landline calls. Very cheap.

Quite simply it doesnt exist. It was phased out years ago. A private pension yes, state pension no.

Good old Eric

Loads of places in Pattaya and Jomtien that sell draft beer.

You dont need Eric for IPTV. Its so easy to do yourself. The best provider by far is Wizz TV. Just google them, they are well established. Just order the package you want and follow the instructions they send you. I have a yearly package for a single connection with VPN for 3,100 baht or £73. I bought separately an Android box. You just download Wizz TV to it, its only an app and away you go. All Sports channels across the world, 100's of movies and 100's of on demand content. 1,000's to choose from. I brought my Andriod box back to the UK with me as I am here for a few months and it works perfect over here as well. Works best when diectly connected via an ethernet cable but works fine on a strong wifi via a firestick. There is a lot of fear around installing IPTV yourself thats why people like Eric are making a business of doing it for you. It is very easy as long as you follow the instructions.
