  1. It says tourists do not have to do the Notification of address. Lots of tourists have a tourist visa ,SETV. 60 days. This can be extended one month at your local immigration office. If you do not declare yourself at the Immigration for the Notification of Address, ( they staple a slip receipt in your passport) you will be refused the extension. So , yes, tourists wanting an extension do need to report themselves, even though their condo management has done their part online. I  have to do this at Jomtien .

  2. The’ store rooms in shops are usually overrun with cockroaches, they get into the cartons of beer, tins etc. So anything in packaging or cartons from shops, supermarkets can have cockroaches in them. I usually open anything new on’ my terrace just in case.

  3. I find the weather much better and cooler  in Pattaya . Phuket gets very hot and lots of rain. Much more choice in supermarkets here too. Jomtien is quieter ,avoid central Pattaya. Forget The north Chiang Mai. The beach water is dirty though so find somewhere with a nice pool. You have transport so you can be anywhere in Pattaya area in 15/20 minutes. Stay a week in a hotel and look around. 

  4. Chash ,first find out from the consul if you need a return ticket, I’m sure  you do. To comply with the rules ( as you are  staying  more than 60/90 days) buy a one way ticket Bangkok to Phnom Penh , or Phuket Kuala Lumpur, ( the cheapest will do) leaving on the 56 th day of your stay in Thailand. Which you will not use. Nobody will check. Put 58 days on your arrival card . This will get you your visa 60 days, and also you will need it for check in at the airport when you leave for Thailand. They will check your visa and length of stay. If asked, show them your airline ticket out of Thailand after 58 days! All airlines check this these days. I do this often. Just say I’m off to Malaysia for a few weeks. Immigration in Bangkok don’t check your return ticket dates but if they do, same thing, say you’re off tô Malaysia after.

  5. I hope you haven’t told her ? If you have, say that it was finally just a small sum. She can’t check. Keep no documents at home’, you can leave them with your solliciter in GB. Invest your inheritance, and keep it for future need, illness .Better safe than sorry. The money was kindly left to you, look after it.

  6. I stayed a long time on Phuket, Kata, when it was quiet !!! When I left, about 10 years ago, there were already a lot of break ins in Chalong and Rawai. Also, no one drove late at night because of gangs pushing you off your bike to rob you, and there were a few rapes around N’ai Harn, Prom Thep. So I wouldn’t say it was something new. I was offered a lovely house down Fisherman’s Way, but refused as I was worried of the break ins.
