    I've had some personal experience with the school through speech language therapy, autism I cannot speak of. I can only comment that on visits to the school there were kids with varying forms of disability. The teachers I saw were both foreign and Thai. Knew their stuff.

     

    St Andrews in Bangkok have a very strong learning support unit, you could try them also.

    Thank you again so much!

  2. We live in Hua Hin and were just informed today that our 3 year old can no longer be accommodated by the international school where she is currently attending.

     

    There appears to be no resources available here for our situation and so we are now planning to relocate to Bangkok to try to give our daughter the best possible chance in life and wondering if there are any other parents of children with autism or members with knowledge of recommendable schools for children with autism in Bangkok.

     

    Thank you so much in advance.

  3. I am wondering if anyone has a maid working for them part time who they know needs more work?

     

    We are looking for someone to come 2-3 times per week, full day to clean our house in Hin Lek Fai.

     

    If you have someone working for you who do a good job and isn't job averse and who has time for and wants more work then please send me their contact details.

     

    Thank you very much in advance.

  4. Isn't the fine 500 baht per day up to 20000 for being late with 90 day report? Or is that for overstay?

     

    I am supposed to do my 90 day report next week here in Hua Hin. Has anyone else here gone to the Hua Hin immigration recently?

     

    Perhaps I should sit this one out and take the fine? What is everyone else doing?

     

    I don't really feel like sending my passport in the mail. I live so close to the immigration that if I'm going to the post office I might as well just go to the immigration office instead.

    A bit harsh there mate. On low pm2.5 days there's no mask wearing so the poster may or probally was the only one wearing a mask.

    I'm not sure what prompted his reaction but I was referring to wearing mask inside super markets etc. here in Hua Hin, not outside in smog filled Chiang Mai.

     

    I would say at the most 1/100 people were wearing a mask a month ago when my family started routinely wearing it when going out.


    Even inside the Bangkok Hospital in Hua Hin masks were very rare then and yes some people would point and laugh at me for taking the corona risk so seriously.

    Hi Stanley,

    FYI > I compiled a comprehensive Roadmap containing all details/options on how to convert from an OA-extension to a Non Imm O - retirement Visa and subsequent extension. 

    Just PM me if you are interested in receiving a copy.

    Thank you but you have already sent it to me and I have passed it on. ???? It is good to know that there are various options. Thanks again!

    Yes, an absolute disgrace.

    But hopefully we are witnessing the dawn of new thai IO-approved health-insurance policies being offered, with LMG now offering it for 6.000,- THB in the 51-60 age band.

     

    Thanks a lot Peter! I had totally missed that. I will pass it on to my friends with OA issues.

    Afraid the regrets might come if they require mandatory health insurance for Elite holders

     

    With what I have seen over the last 15 years in Thailand I have learned,  never to say never,  when it comes to Immigration

    The majority of people who can afford Thailand Elite can also afford health insurance.

     

    Health insurance isn't mandatory for Elite visa but I have Aetna Thailand health insurance anyway.

     

    It is a shame however how Thailand has treated OA holders with the insanely high premiums forced upon over 70 year olds in order to be allowed to do extensions of stay.

    My absolute preferred option is not to have to buy insurance at all , I would much rather have to demonstrate that I have the required 440,000Baht available in a Thai Bank account each time I do my 90 day reporting (this being separate from the 800,000baht needed to apply/renew the visa.) But I think this is a discussion best had face to face with the immigration officer next year when it comes time to renew. 

     

    There is as far as I know no such option where you show 440,000 baht on top of the 800,000 baht in order to avoid buying a Thai insurance.

    Just thinking if we go for some weekend trips, it could be trouble on check-in if hotel see his stay has expired...?

    I wouldn't worry about that. When we check in to hotels in Thailand I only hand over the passports belonging to the adults checking in and not underage children.

     

    No one has ever asked me for a passport for any of our children and even when I have handed one over in the past without being asked they have handed it back after looking at the photo page and only taken copies of the adults passports.

     

     

  11. I currently have the 5 year Thailand Easy Access membership which is expiring this month.

     

    I scanned and emailed Thailand Elite my application to extend/renew/change or whatever you prefer to call it to the 20 year Elite Superiority Extension (1m THB regular price but 960k THB until end of June for existing members).

     

    I sent it in on Friday June the 21st, 3 days ago, and I was approved today already. (I'm a EU citizen).
