I'm not an expert on any other

visa/extension except my own.

Got it, Thanks Mon - I feel OK about what we're doing, but Vigilance has always been Key.

You retired B visa is for work?

No, It is a Non Immigrant B Visa based on Marriage (Immigration folks refer to it as a Marry Visa).

Though I have worked off and on (with a WP) with the RTN, Private clinics, and occasional consulting I am currently retired

Boy, I hope you're wrong .. That would indicate a change that might makes things tough. I love to dip into that account to use the cash for projects, then replace it a bit at a time .. Have done so for years.

1. .. 18 Years I've had the 400K in the bank according to the parameters that include 3 months prior to filing an extension of stay.

2. Recent application was made for a one year extension, and after filing the actual paperwork, we were asked to return to the IO to show a current (day we went) copy that showed the 400K was STILL in the bank at the end of the month (about 3 weeks after the application), prior to the awarding the extension, which went fine.

3. We took 100K out of that bank account about a week after the granting of the extension was completed.

4. haven't heard anything about that being prohibited, I will slowly replace it, and ensure that 3 months before our next extension request, i'll make sure we have 400K again.

5. I have just filed for the first time in Bueng Kan .. previous years were in BKK and Trang Province.

6. Never had a problem (not one), and the Bueng Kan Province experience was a simple and straightforward one overall. No Pain.

7. Non Immigrant B Visa based on Marriage

So what's next... prohibiting  of laughter???

Laughter is good .. Duh, Cigarettes are an absolute ignorant & stupid choice 

Of lifestyles .. what good does smoking cigarettes bring .. ?

 Foolish, insecure people enriching tobacco companies .. (Why) to ensure poor health, wracking coughs and a dim-witted image for themselves  .. Please .. if you insist on your right to such a moronic habit, then Smoke over there somewhere ????‍♂️

If you’re serious, read ... Alan Carr’s “The Easy Way to Stop Smoking”

You go to any Pharmacy here in Thailand asking for something for a problem and they will give you a handful of different drugs because this is what Thais do when their sick , i am yet to see my wife just take one tablet for something its usually 2-4 and different types depending on what is wrong . Thai logic if one doesn't work the others will .

Is that the best one can write about this  .. ? Does that sound like we may be putting a stupid Tourist’s mistake in the wrong ‘responsibility’ column ..?

Boy, you guys amaze me .. ????‍♂️

Allen Carr .. ‘The Easy Way to Stop Smoking’

Good Grief

What Absolute Drivel

Duh

Free The Snake .. ?

I back the Effort AND the Man .. I am Familiar with these Chemicals - we can do better.

I AM home ..

Go Rooster - you understand everything .. ?

Exercise some Discipline

Terrific .. (?!)

We live in Bueng Kan on our Rubber Tree Land. We don’t spray our trees, but the folks we had taking care of it for 8 years MAY have sprayed, without being aware of the potential damage they might be causing. No matter - That’s past.

... During recent flooding of a usually small stream, I cleared some brush from the water to help it flow better.

... After only 1 Hour working in the stream, the skin on my hands felt ‘pulled’ taut (tight) I stopped, but they ached and stayed red for 2 days .. I think the incredible rains washed dangerous herbicides from the local farm land & surrounding vegetation.

I am now looking to test our well water, because the 54 meter deep well may be loaded with poison. I would Love to get it tested ASAP.

... Seems we don’t need any more studies about whether (or to What Percentage level of exposure) these chemicals are harmful to humans. Many countries have BANNED the use of several of them.

My Idea is we need widespread TESTING to help us understand how bad this is in our agricultural regions ... AND how to protect my family and our friends from this poison, now that we know it’s on our lands. Will Filtering the Drinking Water Work ..??

I would Love someone Smart to help us all out.

ANYPLACE is dangerous to visit if you’re stupid .. duh

Really ..?

Really ..?

Excellent Progress .. Thanks Thailand .. 

Let it go
