This will be the end of Starmer. Thank God.

Everyone needs dental work?

Roi Et town has a big University and a few Thai bars.

I said this two days ago. Got a few thumbs down! 555

Got a DTV in London after my retirement visa lapsed and did quite a few VOA - was getting a bit concerned after a quizzing at Immigration. Applied on a Monday approved on the Wednesday. "Soft Power" - medical. It's a no brainer.

The Tikcom IT mall in Pattaya has a lot of good shops. https://tukcom.com/tukcom-pattaya-floor-plan/

Been using Microsoft Teams. Still has a Skype keyboard.

I used a "safe entry" service a few months ago. Perfect. And probably saved me 30-45 mins queueing.

OP has not answered any questions about Nationality, why USA Bank account etc. You can always apply for a DVT under soft power. It really makes not difference when you get it.

A nice excuse for a military coup

This might be what you are thinking of: Section 540 of the Civil & Commercial Code - 30 years lease maximum, extensions unenforceable. https://www.addleshawgoddard.com/en/insights/insights-briefings/2025/real-estate/thai-supreme-court-strikes-down-automatic-long-term-lease-renewals/

Never go back to the bar. Just leave the appropriate reviews on google etc. (Anonymously!) I left one for a bar and about 3k people read it! That would be a lot of lost custom.

A simple search with AI results: Migration Central's funding comes from a mix of sources, primarily academic research grants and charitable foundations. Specific examples include grants from the abdrn Financial Fairness Trust, Barrow Cadbury Trust, Esmée Fairbairn Foundation, and Paul Hamlyn Foundation, among others. The organization also receives funding from research grants through entities like the Economic and Social Research Council, Engineering and Physical Sciences Research Council, and Oxford University's John Fell Fund

Just fly somewhere and use a "safe entry" service at Bkk. Best 4500 baht you'll spend.

Bought most electricals from HomePro. Decent service and delivery and they set everything up.

You can get Eva for about £700+ but Thai is £950.

Agree with you about Wise. "Long term stay" always took a day or so. "General Expenses" almost instantaneous. The reason I and other people used "Long term stay" is because it showed up on their system as an International Transfer - so you could use it to show Immigration if retired and using the "monthly" method of funds for extensions. Lately my UK to Bkk Bank transfers take over a day with Wise...sometimes 20 mins with Remitly but more often than not there is an issue. Bangkok Bank is the problem - I believe they have started using a new intermediary (according to the support bods at Remitly)

Cheap fares do still exist to Bkk...if you don't mind stopovers. But generally more available to other destinations in the region. In March my mate came to visit. He paid £480 LHR economy return to Singapore on BA.

Edit- 24th Dec.

You'll never get a ticket that cheaply. You can regularly get a single On Oman from Phuket to the UK for about £160.

Exactly. Every Embassy is different. If you read the Facebook groups about DTV some people supply next to no supporting documents some send "War & Peace"!

100 days and with 3000 words...doubtful.
