  1. Lots of people lean out over them to get a better view around them. With the low railings once your torso is on the other side of the rail the majority of your wieght is on the wrong side.
  2. Not for a normal retirement visa. Nothing to do with marriage. I've never had to draw a map. What if my wife wasn't with me or I wasn't married? I also had given them a copy of the TM30. He said something about a lot of falang were giving addresses but didn't really stay there.
  3. A couple of weeks ago I did my extension in Ratchaburi. Just a normal retirement extension with 800K in the bank. For the first time ever they also wanted to see my wife's Thai ID and get her phone number. Then he whips out a cellphone and asks for any place around where we live. So I gave him the name of the closest Wat. He hands the phone to me with google maps open on the Wat's location and asks me to show him where my house is.
  4. I was in Phuket several years ago and talking to a guy from the UK. I told him, "Russians don't seem very friendly." He replied, "They don't even like each other."
  5. When I did my extension last week the bank just printed out 3 months of account details and the letter of current account amount. I also provided copies of all the pages in my account book. I was not asked for my actual account book. I did bring it with me just in case though. I do have to make a small transaction on the day I get the letter because they want to see a balance in the book on that date despite having the letter from the bank. This is in Ratchaburi.
  6. Finding a better place to live is not an option?
  7. When I first moved here the first year I lost weight. Then I started gaining it all back. For about the last year I have lost about 21 kilos. Intermitent fasting and low carb sugar. It also helped with my blood pressure, cholesterol, and blood sugar. Specially blood sugar.
  8. On Lazada search for mr peter for a plug in one. You can buy refills seperately. I've seen some mosquito repellents that look like air fresheners at BigC.
  9. LOL. Like the democrats are going to keep some of their voters from entering the country. Just like they always shut down showing proof of citizenship to vote as being racist.
  10. Live next to a Wat. You will get lots of blasted music.
  11. A couple of years ago was my last renewal. I did not need a medical certificate for it. Just the residence certificate. The last time in addition to the vision/reaction tests I had to watch a video that lasted about 45 minutes. But no test on it.
  12. Ok. She disappeared. So how would the young relative know/think she was dead? As Scuba said she should have not let anyone know how much money she had. Sounds like she had loaned money to several people too. Perhaps one of them didn't want to pay it back.
  13. They left out the first part of the sentence, "When I woke up the van..."
  14. The house book does not show ownership. A chanote does that.
  15. We recently poured the ashes of my brother-in-law and my father. My mom had brought some of his ashes over to me for some reason. We hired a boat for the ceremony. We were the ones that poured the ashes into the water. This was by the Pak Kret pier on the Chaophraya River in Bangkok.
  16. A couple of days ago I was driving from Bangkok back home to Ratchaburi. On the way there was a pickup truck in front of me with 3 falang sitting in the back. They seemed to be having a grand time and were even waving at some of the other cars as they passed by. I think they were even amazed to see me, a falang, driving a vehicle behind them.
  17. I was looking at SCB's website yesterday and they had an article stating they made 54+billion baht in profit for 2023.
  18. I'd rather see a woman with ribbons in her hair than ones with those awful eyebrow tatoos, fixed noses, pasty white bleached skin, etc...
  19. Who cares what emoji a person uses? It has nothing to do with their intelligence anyway. Some probably just think they are being funny.
  20. You should have been here about 30 years ago. Queues were pretty much non existent. It was just whoever pushed hardest.
  21. If you get the original visa in the USA the funds do not have to be in a Thai bank. They can be in a US bank. But after that to extend your stay in Thailand the funds need to be in a Thai bank, at least 2 months before applying for the extension of stay. I would recommend applying for this regular non-0 visa with a 90 day stay. Once in Thailand open a Thai bank account as soon as possible. Then the last month of the 90 day apply for the 1 year extension. (This avoids having to do the medical insurance certification every extension.) non-immigrtant type O retirement It is also possible to enter Thailand visa exempt then apply at immigration for the 90 day non-o. But maybe a bit harder to open a Thai bank account without having the non-o first.
  22. Look closer it is just the illusion of it being exposed. Why do they all have to have fake noses?
  23. Perhaps but it will make for lucky lottery numbers. 23, 73, 08, 47 Seems wierd that people look for lucky numbers from death and accidents.
