I used weekly 10 litter raw milk from nearby milk processing fabric.  I used it for making kefir, butter from cream and occasinally quark. Never had any problems. The cultures of Kefir grains kill bad bacteria in competition with milk cultures. 

I have a true mobile number  and got the 6 digit code for login. Never had any problems.

I put a rope with many old music CD's on it across the balcony. CD's are very shiny. no one bird visits the balcony anymore.

Look for Singha water in 0,5 L glass bottles. I am getting  delivered 5 boxes ( 24 bottles per box) to my house in Ban Bueng. Cost all 375 Baht

Hi , i am using W 11  from last year from w 10 and I noticed quite a few differences. As I am using MS SQL Server and Visual Studio 19 and 22, w 11 is unavoidable. Visual Studio 22 is now 64 bit ( I had problem running it on w10 for some reason and since W11 no problems at all). Also the new Office is runing better on W11. I agree with multi screen performance. Big trouble for me with w10 for running multi monitors with different resolutions despite having a good graphic card.

Just be aware that changing from marriage to retirement, your marriage ext.  and vice versa, will end the day you apply for retirement extension so you could loose a few weeks if applying earlier as an example. 

Thank you to making me aware of this.

Change to based on marriage no problem.

You don't need to leave Thailand.

Thanks, I hope to get it @SriRacha immigration

Hi all, I have been extending the permission to stay since 2017, came to Thailand 2015 with OA visa.

I am now married to Thai citizen. My next extension is end of May, how can I change the permission to  stay based on marriage? Have over 800K in the Bank. Do I need to leave Thailand?

Are you able to share the hospital which confirmed your reservation? And if different, the name of the hospital where "others" were denied?

 

Thanks.

 

 

Yes no problem, Chularat hospital in Chonburi, I know only that others were denied from same hospital as they will get limited amount of vaccine.

Where do you think you can get the Moderna?  I was looking at either Moderna or Pfizer as my second jab but can not find anywhere to do the second dose as having had the first of AZ in June, I can not register at MedPark hospital again for Pfizer as I am scheduled for my second AZ jab there in September.  I wonder if there will be a way by then to ask them to change the AZ to Pfizer, but then I am not sure they will as many of the Pfizer jabs are going as boosters to medical staff.

I registered and paid in advance for the Moderna, last week I've got a SMS to confirm it and wait for appointment in October while at the same time others got a SMS that they cannot have it and they will get a refund of the money.

I go for AZ on Monday  and get the Moderna  as second dose. Seem the best combination.

OP, I use to buy fresh yeast in Foodland the past 3 years, unfortunately they close down the bakeries in Foodland about a month ago. I am still baking my bread every 2 - 3 days. Use only sourdough made my self and keep it in a fridge. My sourdough is now 3 years old. Feed it once a week and is very active because of the wild yeast in it. I use instant yeast only for cakes.   

Well, last year I too had to go back to IO in Sri Racha 3 months after my extension and show  bankbook with no less than 800K the past 3 months.  

I sent my application beginning of December 2020 with all original docs incl. Birth certificate( from Slovakia, I was born there) with legalized translation and few divorce certificates. After 4 weeks I received all the certificates back in Thailand. 1 week after my Birthday (24th January) I received 35 pounds on my UK bank account and 2 days ago I received the rest of the pension (23 years NI).

I have to say it worked out excellent. 

I too have adopted 2 kittens 2 years ago and they become mothers  of 2 and 3 kittens. We wanted a good home for them and my GF asked a Thai man in the village. He promised to take them to his friend who has a farm and people will take care of them. Now I believe he kill them all or let them go in the sugar-cane field. I am devastated. More likely they starved to death there. 

I jumped few pages without reading

She already had the surgery.

sorry I missed that. 

Hi ThaiPauly. If your wife's MRI shows a clear disc prolaps with nerve compression than your wife needs to see a neurosurgeon who would perform the operation. They are different operation techniques. From dorsal (back) with hemilaminectomie and discectomie or from ventral (front of neck) in that case ususally the disc space will be filled with piece of bone taken from pelvic bone.  All sounds dangerous but anything else is more dangerous

because the prolapsed disc can move and compress the spinal cord. 

Thai Embassy London:

• Non-Immigrant Type O (Retirement (pensioner aged 50 or above with a state pension who wants to stay in Thailand for no longer than 90 days) - single entry only)
•  

• Financial evidence e.g. A copy of pension statement if the applicant is a pensioner, or a copy of 1-month bank statement showing your income from pension, or 3-month bank statement of at least £10,000
• Confirmation of legal residence in the UK or Ireland

So having 10K in the Bank instead of pension income.

I am really wondering where the immigration officers that say it applies to those on extensions are reading or getting their info.

Studied the memos in the police order announcement again and noted this in the first one in English.

 

That appears to say it does not apply to a extension of stay for a OA visa entry.

 

Joe this refers to permission of stay after one year visa not extension of stay. IMO. The granted length of stay is the second year after visa expires.

It does say "This order is effective as of 31 October 2019.   It is on the bottom of the first page.

Yes, this order to amend the criteria for granting an extension of stay according to (6) requires health insurance if OA visa has been granted and you extending the permission of stay is effective after 31 October 2019. 

This is how I read and understand the new police order:

The police order amended the criteria of Consideration for granting the extension of stay. They added a new criteria which requires insurance if an applicant has been granted an OA visa (whenever). (6)  "it does not say only after 31.10.2019'

My understanding is unfortunately. we all, who came whenever with OA visa  and applying for extension of the permission to stay, the new amendment applies after 31.10.2019.

The last part of the order is dealing with the criteria of consideration for permission of stay after one year entering with OA.  

Me personally am due for extension end of May 2020 and considering to leave Thailand and live in Europe. The money required in the Bank I can use in Europe somewhere to buy a worthy Health insurance or stay 6 months a year in UK.  

Thank you Steve73. I decided to do the same as you did, transfer after the renewal day into FD account. Imm Officer at jomtien ? 

Well i expect that from IO. My bank branch said would be no problem to open a FD acc. but better to ask IO. In regard of pound you are abs. right. That's why I just wait.  

Thanks Jacko45K for your reply. I have over a 1Mil on saving acc but not an other 800K. I have funds on my UK acc but I would not transfer anything to Thailand at this time with low rates. I wait until the pound goes more up. It may go further down if there is a no deal Brexit.

Well, I am not going to risk my ext and better just to leave it at savings acc. I will ask immigration if they would accept transfer of 800k to FD acc after I got the renewal.
