  1. This is an important issue which will affect many of us sooner or later. There was a time when Immigration would come to your home if you were housebound for any reason but that service appears to have lapsed.
  2. At 80 years old I have never used an agent for any purpose in over 40 years in Thailand. It's a matter of personal choice/circumstance. I can envisage a time before long when I may have to due to the inevitable effects of old age on mobility etc.
  3. A simple change clearly explained by Ubon Joe to whom many thanks.
  4. Also, the only places in the world I have been mugged are London (once) and Manila (twice). And, as has already been said above, the food in the Philippines is awful. Best of luck.
  5. Best to proceeed as you are currently, and if in any doubt in any particular situation wear a mask rather than not wear one.
  6. I would not recommend a fibre glass pool except as a stand alone for kids for paddling.
  7. 2 Astra Zeneka followed by a Pfizer booster. No after effects from AZ or Pfizer. Not sure which of the available vaccines makes the best combination. I may try for a Moderna booster in due course for the sake of variety.
  8. Surprise, surprise ! A good example for any foreigner wishing to do business in Thailand. Best beware.
  9. I doubt these people will move on nightlife. There is an ongoing effort to dull down Thailand's reputation for having a vibrant entertainment sector. It first became apparent when the Bangkok Post dropped Nightowl, one of it's best regular features, and has now become a pompous, boring newspaper.
  10. Utterly revolting, shameful behaviour imported from the USA. RIP young man. I pray you had some joy in your short life.
  11. He's a little front man for those that rule us. He will do whatever he's told to do.
  12. Ever since the 90 day legislation was introduced I have always reported in person without any problems. Far less hassle than any other method.
  13. Just renewed my UK passport here in Bangkok one year prior to expiration of my current passport. Straightforward and efficient, 6 weeks from start to finish. Later had info regarding my previous 1 year extension transferred to my new passport when appying for a further 1 year retirement extension.
  14. ....all of which goes to prove that a retirement extension backed by 800k deposited permanently in an account in your name only is the easiest way to go.
  15. Never used an agent in over 40 years. Unless there is more to this than there appears to be I suggest you go back to Immigration for further clarification.
  16. Go to immigration without delay and explain your situation (you may need a Thai speaker to accompany you unless you are competent in spoken Thai). Could be that in the light of current events Immigration will be helpful given you are a Russian passport holder.
  17. This is not remotely concerned with the victim. The 'investigation' is all about who gets what from 30m in compensation, plus the proceeds from an insurance pay-out.
  18. Sad and pathetic. Those who rule Thailand are determined to keep Thai children, and thereaafter Thai adults, as ignorant as possible.
  19. Yet another u-turn tragedy. They are a nightmare and should be replaced by far fewer in number u-bridges.
