Man man man… Nobody seems to give the correct answer here! Everybody seems to forget one thing: If you want to use the combined method, you still will need from the embassy an affidavit confirming the part that you use as income part. If your embassy does not provide that anymore, of course you cannot use that method anymore, so for retirement extension you will need 800000THB in the bank or proof that you bring 65000THB every month in a Thai bankaccount, as stated in the new regulations! However, I read nowhere what if you have a part of the 800000THB deposited in the bank and bring a part every month in a Thai bankaccount to match requirements which also would make sens to me... For the embassies that still provide the affidavit, nothing has changed!

What a stupid comment. The pilot actually did incredibly well to avoid hitting any homes or killing his passengers. 

I do agree with Quack! Being a airline pilot myself, I can tell you that, when like here an engine failure occurs, the pilot has seconds to overvieuw his options and make his descision, and perform than his emergency procedures, beginning with trying to restart the failed engine. Allthough the piper chieftain is able to continue flying on one engine, it may be very challenging depending on the load of the aircraft, especially in these warm temperatures; The fact that he was aiming for a klong and could not reach it means that he was unable to keep the plane airborne. All you can do than is make the best of it...  which he surely did. Due to his actions, more casualties have been avoided.
