Is there anything new i should be aware of when renewing marriage extention at Jomtien IO, i seem to remember someone posting that the forms required must be from the actual IO not printouts!

Has anyone done an extention at Jomtien recently and can verify this?

TIA for any info mine is due 2nd March!

I'll hazzard a guess - "the Low Countries".  Euthanasia is legal there too.  They have a rather cavalier attitude to death.  I should know.  I live there.

Correct he's from Holland!

On a similar subject, I read on Asean Now last year that national parks had reduced the admission fees for foreigners to 200 baht.

 

On New Year's day, faced with very heavy traffic on Mitraphap on a trip to Bangkok, my friend and I decided to go a different way, passing through Khao Yai National Park - my friend told me it was free for New Year.

 

It was free - for her but it wasn't the 200 baht for me that I was expecting. The fee for foreigners to enter Khao Yai National Park is still 400 baht.

 

I've refused to pay 10 times the amount that Thai's are charged since they enforced it for local foreigners a few years back but it was my friend (Thai) who told them to stick it this time and u-turned!

10 times the price or 1000% to put it in it's true perspective!

I like "Micro Sleep" much better, and if that's not running away i don't know what is!

Sorry about that Max.....been having a few computer problems!!!!!!!

 

And as far as I know a Will like this will be acceptable in the UK, and the main thing is to have all the witnesses and signatures correct on the document.

 

I did a Will for an old friend of mine here who was close to death and hadn't done anything about this, and this was before I had found this current version. However I did find one online and complete it for him and as far as I can recall it was much the same as the one I sent you – – having said that, you can find an online Will (free) in the UK which, although basic, will suffice.

Thanks for your answer, the reason i wanted this was although i have no assets in the UK it was to make it easier for my Thai wife to be able to transfer money left in my account to her account, we are both with same bank, as i have heard that a bank will hold onto any money for a period of time to make sure any other claimant's can come forward, and a "will" should by-pass this issue ( i hope) as she would be on a limited time UK visitors visa!

Long shot i know, but i wonder if one of these DIY wills would be acceptable in the UK ?

Thanks that one worked, and already enabled for editing all the rest posted were just blank!

The "Smirker" will return, you can bet on it, but i suppose better than Anutin from a smelly fallang point of view!

The Smirker will be back, you can bet on it!

Could always copy Japan with a huge porn industry that allows porn and then fuzzes everything out that makes it porn in the first place!

Richard. I do not always agree with your comments. 

But this one is spot on.

I saw the complete opposite a few years back on Pattaya beach two Moslem women on a jet ski garbed up with head to toe black gear looking completely ridiculous, came straight through the protected area for swimmers when shouted at from the shore they turned around (seemingly not understanding a word) went straight back through the protected area luckily not many swimming that day!

it wont happen, dont worry about it, ignore it.

what hotel owner wants to lose money when the farangs dont book?

but if Thailand does bring in ridiculous things like this........Philippines looking good.

The PH just needs to sort out its electrical system, internet and food.......then it would be number 1 option for me anyway

Especially if you're a UK pensioner!

Aah, that’s where the ability to lie so much came from, well once he gets dumped they can have him back.

He had to dump his US passport when he became an MP but since he was born/spawned/spewed out there, he could soon get it back, and hopefully move back and take his green loving wife with him, here's hoping/dreaming!

I suspect they WANT to be defeated, to inflame their hard right support base and to cause civil strife in the UK. Just like Trump and just for Putin.

This whole thing about Johnson being a mini Trump - well only because he comes from a smaller country. 

If rational people the world over are not prepared to stand in solidarity, then from Azerbaijan to Zimbabwe, we are screwed. 

Don't hate. Refuse to hate apart from those bstard$ who seek to set us all upon each other for the sake of their capital.

If you're referring to Boris coming from a smaller country (UK) you are wrong he's from the same country as Trump New York born as it happens, I agree with your post though!

Well one solution would be to stop getting involved in pointless wars such as in Iraq and Afghanistan, that would save heaps for the pensions and save a lot of young mens lives.

Not to mention Foreign Aid of course, annually rising and part of the old boy network ever flowing gravy train!

Yes, I did read from somewhere a while ago that if you go into hospital and stay for however long then they will stop your pension for that duration, it looks to me as though the state pension rules & regulations are in dire need of a modern day update.

They have been updated that tory stuck up his own arris <deleted> George Osborne re-classified our pensions as a "benefit" the same as paid to all the other scroungers in the UK, in other words it's now government money despite you paying in all your working life, makes us proud eh?

Can anybody please explain when prostitution and pimping is considered to be human trafficking?

 

At least for me human trafficking is something like smuggling humans over borders or something similar.

 

Both crimes should be punished but as far as I see it they are different. 

Agreed, vastly different just read "Slave Girl" by Sarah Forsyth to bring home true horrors of being trafficked/tricked into prostitution with no way out!

He probably doesn't understand the fear Farang have of taking a covid test that may easily result in being frog marched off to a prison/hospital that'll cost  upwards of nearly two years salary of the average Thai.  

And from what i read no second opinions allowed, if the first test proves supposedly positive!

It was reported on local radio this morning that he is being held in custody to prevent any witness intimidation.

I'm guessing that this must have happened at the navy hospital. Someone of his rank could easily intimidate witnesses, especially if they are mostly RTN personnel.

Queen (can't remember exactly what named queen) hospital in Sattahip yes a navy hospital!

I recently did a visa extension based on marriage with Pattaya/Jomtien IO, @ubonjoe's checklist is correct, as for the photos they wanted me to have at least 4 photos, one picture per each full size A-4 paper,  write your & your wife's phone number on the TM 7, best to use blue ink when signing all your papers,  and lastly the IO lady seemed to nit pick, saying something to my wife about my 2 sets not being identically stacked.  

Attached is their checklist in Thai:

 

 

Thank you that's exactly what i wanted, just got to find fillable TM7 form now, the forms i have used and printed before have probably been changed again!

Which financial method are you using.

Money in bank or income. Indicate that and some posters that deal with Jomtien can give your info re the process at that office. 

In the bank method
