Is it true that you can't renew your retirement visa beyond 10 years? In other words - the maximum number of times you can renew/extend your RV is 10 times (once per year)?
Never heard of that.
Heard of this one:-
The CM2H Program Overview
The Cambodia My Second Home visa offers applicants a 10-year renewable residence permit with multi entry access to the country. Not only is this a residency by investment program, but the visa also provides a pathway towards Cambodian citizenship and a Cambodian passport after 5 years.-

This policy of letting people in from these countries needs to be reigned in.
I see, so you want Thailand to ban all Danish tourists?
Great idea!

Some years ago in Bangkok I was a passenger in a car owned and driven by Thai friend.Cops waved him down and extorted 100thb from him for having an oversize number plate!!!
You just never know what will happen next.
Fined us on the outskirts of Bangkok for transporting a BBQ in the rear bin of our pickup, travelling from Pattaya to Isaarn.
The Barbie was fully and completely secured and going nowhere (The BBQ had cost 28,000 baht, so we secured it properly)
We were fined and his reason given was that we should have covered it with one of those flimsy tarpaulins, that are useless, blow all over the place and block your vision whilst driving.
500 baht he charged us and that was years ago.

The only country I know where they give out more medals for nothing than Thailand.
DPRK, Well, it's not Democratic, and it certainly isn't a peoples' republic.
It's autocratic and a Banana republic, with the fat controller at the helm of as despotic regime.

My gripe for today.
I understand there are shipping costs and tax, but how does a A$4.20 jar of vegemite cost nearly $12 (260 baht) in Thailand? If Australia imposed those kind of markups on Thai products I doubt they'd be able to sell a kilo of rice.
It is called price gouging or not being able to see the wood for the trees, something that is famous in Thai politics.
The same applies to some Thai retailers.

If we do, we should not call that "colonizing"; that should be called "metasticising."
Imagine for a minute the amount of good that could happen if all this money and research, public and private, were poured into the Earth and addressing climate change, pollution of the oceans, getting water and sanitation all around the African continent, fighting drought, replenishing the reefs, etc.
The Earth could be a wonderful place again.
There is way too much to be done here on Earth, for countless generations to follow, rather than focusing on fantasies in Space travel.

At least in the USA they are making accusations and lawsuits whilst the guy is still living, and they have a chance to prove their allegations, and he has the opportunity to defend them.
This is unlike the UK, where people are making accusations 30 and 40 years after the event when the suspect is already dead, such as is the case with Jimmy Savile and Mohammed Al Fayed.
I do believe there is substance to many of these accusations, but also there is a great deal of jumping on the bandwagon hoping for a payday.

I think this guy's goose is well and truly cooked and no amount of money is going to get him out of it, there are just too many allegations stating very similar accusations of severe mistreatment.

There is far too much emphasis placed on the nationality of individuals committing crimes in Thailand, rather than on the actual crimes themselves.
Any person with even limited education knows that there are good and bad in every nation, and crooks come from all over the Globe to Thailand for many reasons.
Thailand is a gateway and passing point for many nationalities, and certainly attracts its fair share that are not here for temples and tourism.
Bashing people based purely on their nationality is a sign of ignorance.
I am British by birth, a mixture of English and Irish.
I have many friends and acquaintances in many countries, and I am well travelled and educated.
Furthermore, I don't expect to meet French people in striped shirts carrying onions around their neck riding bicycles, just as they won't see me in a British Bulldog T-shirt, with armfuls of tattoos and a huge beer gut, with a handkerchief on my head.
The stereotypes needing binning, and focus needs placing on the crimes themselves, and leaving it to the relevant authorities to punish offenders, as opposed to Asean Now rants about deportations and jailing, from the hang em high brigades, whose opinions carry no clout in Thai law courts.

It's almost as if they can't enjoy a drink like civilized people do. A sniff of the cork and they go berserk, from bashing all and sundry to public defecation and stripping naked to wash the feces off in a public fountain. If the baht is devalued we can look forward to plenty more of stories like this in the future.
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=w2UaREfTyBk&pp=ygUSU2lzYWtldCBzZXdlciByYXQg
So you think a two-year-old video of some scumbag in Sisaket represents the entire population of the UK?
Furthermore, I don't recall the news stating the foreigner stripping and defecating in a fountain was British?
Whoever he was, mental illness is definitely suspect.
The only point your absurd post shows is that you have some hang up with British people, by and large, which is sad on your behalf.
Gimp by name, gimp by nature.
Meaning of gimp in English
an unpleasant or stupid person: I can't stand that gimp.-

So far you seem to be the only one as everyone else has secured cards despite what @SAFETY FIRST is claiming his very substantial investment IS securing his card
also unless you got yours in the last year nobody has mentioned that they got one
When was it issued.
what did you have to show to get it
KTB and was issued about five years ago.
It was because I had a lot of money in the bank, which I subsequently withdrew, and they never asked for the card back.
I hardly use it, but it has a 500,000 baht limit.

There is no way that, unless you have a job in Thailand, that you will get anything but a secured deposit credit card, though the SCB requirements are rather more than most at 200% of the limit Kungsri is at 110% though that is only certain for a Thai national (SWMBO has one)
Secured deposit credit cards are a standard option in Thailand irrespective of nationality.
In the past regulations were less strict so the job requirement was not enforced strictly.
I've got one!

I recently noticed that the usual airline companies are all charging baggage and seat fees now. The RT flights from Bangkok to Phuket have doubled in price from before C-19 because of these fees. Thai Airways seems to be the only option I found that doesn't rob you of fees and gives 25kg limit on checked bags. 4100 THB for a RT flight at the least popular times of day. I recall maybe 2,100 THB 6 years ago for the same flight, and the times of the flights didn't affect prices like now.
Is there a trick to get good rates besides the usual websites? I'm wondering if locals pay over 4000 THB for these flights.
Unfortunately,
Post Covid excuses from airlines and other nonsense, it is what it is these days.
Yes, of course, Thai nationals pay the same for flights.
I haven't found any shortcuts to get better deals.

Any time I'm flying around the country I send my suitcase with Kerry express or flash courier to my destination .
Basically can send a 20kg+ suitcase from one end of country to other for 5-600bht and it arrives in 2 days .
Plus you don't need bother waiting at baggage claim .
But surely at that price you can get it baggage checked through with Air Asia?

Or was there a mistake in translation?
I feel that if she had really made a terrorist threat, the airline would have felt obliged to pursue all necessary legal and court action.

11 hours ago, Patong2021 said:Yes. A medical exam by people trained in treating sexual assault.
You readily accepted one Thai man's statement as a reliable statement. Had you taken the time to read the original article before your rush to judgement, you would have seen the following;
The medical team have not yet confirmed the sexual assault or provided an update on her condition.
It is only in the second article that there is a confirmation of injury. For all you actually know, someone else could have been the rapist. Children can be threatened and intimidated into changing their version of events, especially if the perpetrator is family member or a neighbour.
Before condemning people, reliable evidence should be gathered, including semen and pubic hair collection. Rapists often leave this behind. Have you not learnt anything from the too frequent blaming of Burmese people for local murders that a case should always be investigated and facts established?
Absolutely correct,
Far too many of the ' hang em high ' brigade on here without knowing the circumstances or facts.
I would want far more details before rushing to judgement, especially taking the word of a local, who probably joins in the drinking games with the rest of them.
I am not saying it didn't happen, but a wait and see the full facts approach is necessary.
