14 years in BKK, and I have been "searched" at every checkpoint. Dozens in fact. The searches are cursory, but they always looked inside my cigarette pack and made me empty my pockets. I guess I just look dangerous. Two cops on a motocy stopped me once, and one started putting his hand into my pocket. This was daytime, on a small soi in a business area with no entertainment to speak of. I asked, "What are you looking for?", and his reply was "gun". 555 I inquired further, "There is a problem with old farangs carrying guns?!" They left.

Currently out of stock.... maybe that market needs more supply.

The very least of Thailand's worries regarding drugs.

Looks like news of the arrest gave him a heart attack.

What is growing out of her belly?! Looks like a camel hump.

I have sent money twice from K+ to my CapitalOne account in the US. The limit per day is $50,000 USD, which I never came close to. One transfer was $100 to test the transfer, and the other was $2,000 USD. Both executed in expected time, and the exchange rate was respectable. I honestly cannot remember the fees. I believe I selected "let receiving bank charge me", and the cost was roughly $15. Did not have to provide evidence on the origin of the money. Of course, this was all before the "face ID authentication" business. Not sure if that gets involved for these transfers.

At 6'4", in Thailand, I wish it were true ^_^

In 13 years, I have lost two cigarette butts - one on a motocy and one on a balcony when the breeze caught it. Otherwise, everything I have ever tossed went into a bin.

The visa and the extensions are two separate steps, and I was clear the information was about my extension. Ss you say, I obtained my non-O in country at CW. However the Credit Advice was required for both the visa and the extension.

No embassy involved. The first time that you apply for the retirement extension, based on 800K in the bank, you will be asked to show "Credit Advice" statements (they show the details of a bank transfer) from Bangkok Bank demonstrating that the funds arrived in Thailand from a bank outside Thailand - expected to be your home country. In my case, they demanded a Credit Advice statement from the originating bank, as well as Bangkok Bank, which is ridiculous, since the Bangkok Bank Credit Advice showed the originating bank. I am sure that these demands fluctuate, but as of one month ago, this is what Chaeng Watthana was requesting.

Think of it this way: "Have a good _____"

Only the good die young. RIP rescuer.

And there goes Phang-nga...

The bank will laugh at this.

I just did exactly the same as you. Beware of one item. The 800K in the bank MUST be shown to come from outside Thailand. Like you, I had saved the 800K from work. I was required to move the money to the US, then back to Thailand. I was offered a "work around" for this, but it cost 15,000 THB, which was more than I would lose on the exchange. The other thing that the IO made difficult was my lease. They were very picky about that, and forced me to provide the blue book of the owner, deed to the property, as well as their Thai ID.

Here is a topic that Ubonjoe replied to that will help you: Also, since you are 50 years old, I would seriously consider the retirement extension, if you have the 800k to put in the bank. The retirement extension will be simpler overall, from my experience listening to friends do the parental extension.

@French mate points out a critical detail! Make sure you have a proper attorney who is working for you!

The price quoted to you in Australia is not really that outrageous -- for Australia. Thailand does provide excellent dentistry at a lower price. However, remember that there are a few charlatans out there. So if you have the work performed in Thailand, be sure to use a reputable dentist.

I like Sunny Day

Where did you obtain this setup?

Cool. But how do you manage the routing over the different interfaces? I always thought you had to deal with the OS routing tables, which is not in the UI that I see.

I am using my phone for Internet now, as I wait for AIS to install in my new place. I hit the monthly data limit in 2 days. Had to pay 159 THB to extend my limit. I believe you will find the data limit is the issue.

Linux for sure. On MacOS, I am not sure, even though I use it everyday. Never had that setup. Windows, I do not know. The issue is one of routing inside the computer. The OS must know which network to use for what communications. On Linux, this requires dealing with the OS routing tables. It is not for the faint of heart.

I see the comments fine, and I can add a comment if I wish. I did not watch to see if I got YT ads or not. But I do run ADGUARD in Chrome which is what I watched it with.

I think this is the simplest answer. You have sufficient monthly deposits to qualify for the marriage extension (always over 45K) using the income method, but I would keep the 400K in the bank as a backup method, until your income method is confirmed.
