  1. Disagree that it's necessary to be married to have a committed and happy relationship (whether in Thailand or anywhere else), but you might be right about the IO's thinking. Especially if the Non B was recently cancelled and the OP was fairly obviously out of alternative long stay visa options. In any event this sounds less like a rejection and more like a postponement of the application for extension. No doubt things will go smoothly after a couple more months.
  2. Yes it looks like you're fully funded. And even if the statement was unclear and did actually assume you'd be making contributions the next two years to get this amount there'll be plenty of time to sort it out. One thing of interest about the statements - irrespective of contributions made they are automatically updated twice a year. Firstly in April the projection increases after the current year triple lock is applied, and then in around November the record decreases when the previous year's future contribution gets moved across to become one of the "payable gaps".
  3. Somewhere on this page there should be a link titled something like "view gaps in your record and the cost of filling them". If you open the new page it will indicate any missing back years, and you can also tot up the number of full years that have been paid from there.
  4. Won't be any problem given that you have proof of payment. 65 weeks is horrifying, having said that I made my final four back years payment in December 2024 and my record was updated in less than a week (two years ago it took a couple of months). This time round they allocated the years correctly just by matching the amounts. However on a previous payment they did apply it to the wrong years - I phoned HMRC to tell them and they reallocated the money in real time while I was on the phone.
  5. There was a time when he looked like Hewitt, but as he gets older he's turning into a spitting image of the Duke of Edinburgh.
  6. I think Cactus Bar got an exterior face-lift for the movie.
  7. Looks like we had a similar thought at exactly the same time 555
  8. Is that a cowboy hat, or a panama or something else? Perhaps the soi got misnamed...

  10. It's a combination of the much older phenomenon of grumpy old men, emboldened by the anonymity of internet forums. Mostly benign, and generally a lot less harmful than the social media cesspools that suck in younger generations.
  11. The Philippines/UK agreement was not instigated by the UK government, but by the Philippines government back in the 1980s as part of an outreach for reciprocal benefits with other countries where there are large numbers of OFWs. Aside from the UK they also signed agreements with many European countries, as well as Japan, Korea and Canada.
  12. Just going on the increase from 800k to 2m, could be looking at 290k. 800-1m @ 20% = ฿40000 1m-2m @ 25% = ฿250000
