The article is probably a good idea, even just to clear up some of the myths associated with the topic. Its concerning how many people are of the belief that their home country government will arrange and pay to transport a body home, arrange and pay for a funeral in Thailand, investigate the death or take care of possessions, wills etc. The most any government will do is inform next of kin, get hold of death certificate and provide the equivalent document for home country, and give the next of kin some contact numbers for body repatriation, funerals etc.

AT&T will probably unlock the phone, so long as you have paid it off. They even have a webpage explaining the process https://www.att.com/deviceunlock/ There are also plenty of websites and apps where you can unlock for a fee. https://www.imeiunlocksim.com

Interested to know what the issues were with a marriage extension. Too many documents ? Requirements keep changing ?

Probably best to ask the bus company directly at foodmart, as they probably change depending on demand, holidays etc. I dont know that they run to a strict timetable, when its quiet they tend to wait until full, when its busy, there is one departing every 15 min.

One of the advantages of the inappropriately young wife, is the mother in-law, you will have a great relationship. She will be your age, can remember the moon landings, knows who Elvis is, has the same medical issues. So living in, or trips back to the village, you have a like minded friend to hang out with while the wife catches up with her boyfriend, oops brother

Of course they dont get to keep the money, it goes into the "audited" accounts of the block, published monthly and reported at the annual meeting.

Sounds like barstool hearsay, if someone is leaving or plans to leave, I doubt they are sharing with the local immigration volunteer. I was in Pattaya immigration last week doing my extension, just as busy as its always been..

Not sure where you are shopping, or what you are buying, to say groceries are cheaper in the UK. I suppose if you are buying imported UK food then yes, but otherwise any local produce in Thailand is really cheap compared to the UK. Any of the following are cheaper in Thailand, electricity, internet, transport, running a vehicle, local meat, fruit, vegetables, The cost of most things is cheaper because the labor cost to do anything is cheaper.

Its fortunate that the condo block has a juristic person that enforces the laws, and is willing to to take the time to go to court etc. Most of the time these condo bylaws and their enforcement is a non event. The Juristic is usually too busy running a real estate enterprise out of the condo office.
