thanks for the replies I checked Spam routinely I waited (too) patiently assuming that we all had the same objective but I dont think that is correct had I not found that place on the web to enter the T&G code, I would have had to start all over from scratch I never saw an insurance offering specifying the elderly that would have saved some pain I filled out completely four insurance policies before I found one that would accept me at 78 made me feel aged I finally settled with World Trip, but considerably more than 650 B. ! I cant understand how the application process could be considered normal though obviously it would have improved with practice and the easy availability of req. docs but I am skeptical it could ever by completed in 5 mins. !! choosing a hotel was relatively easy I chose from among the cheapest hotels $30 and was satisfied with the process 56 Hotel answered each of my queries by return while T&G never answered one it must have been the mark up from $30 to $154 (including tests) I dont know how long it took to get approved as nothing was dated.

one man's experience at making a Test & Go application (failed?) ... I consider myself well informed: at least I have read every visa posting for the past six months I finally finished the T&G application on April 13, ten days ahead of arrival date enough time for sure, I thought but until now (April 12) have never heard another word from T&G so now I must cancel all the reservations (Insurance, Hotel, Flight) this PM ? arg ! how could this happen ? the application process was laborious I spent the better part of two days making reservations, filling out forms, comparing data, uploading docs ... I personally made some things more complicated: at 79 yoa I no longer qualify for insurance from some providers. But they dont tell you until After you have completed all the paperwork there were many other time wasters: many fields one had to type in by hand, Paste was blocked my favorite: a list of 1200+ hotels -- Unalphabetized ! my hotel "56 Hotel" should have been at the top, but it was 2/3rds through since the day before yesterday I have been sending "Urgent" emails. No response from T&G. My hotel answered by return: please rebook a new reservation then I remembered that I also had a web address to communicate with T&G: https://medium.com/thailand-pass/where-do-i-contact-for-thailand-pass-support-1636daadc180 I typed in the personal code received when completing the application: APPROVED since I had no account at T&G, one might assume that the approval would be returned by email, but Not so rather one must pick it up cavalier at best

long-time lurker here ... a friend (of a friend) has abruptly decided to sell the family home in Boston and move with his wife, who has been diagnosed with dementia, to an assisted-living facility in Thailand (CM) I am sure that there are many facilities in Thailand that could fit the bill I just dont have any personal knowledge at the moment, with very outside little input, he is considering: Vivo Bene CM—started by a Swiss hotelier Care Resort CM—started by a Brit does anyone have any have any experience with either of these two places? or any other recommended location ?? many thanks PS if Sheryl responded, I would be doubly grateful
