No, I tried that back in January this year. I had Kasikornbank print a years worth of bank transactions, highlighted the deposits, copied one year of Chase Bank statements from the US showing the transfers and corresponding receipt in Kasikorn bank and prepared a summary of the transfers of the past year. It was almost THB 700,000. The man at the window who reviews the documents was polite and told me all they want to see was a deposit of THB 400,000 (and I think he said something about a bank letter). At that time, in late January, there was no requirement to season the funds, but this is also prior to their new appointment requirements. As a side comment to the appointment system, hopefully the local trade people (hotels, restaurants, taxi & tuktuk drivers) will complain to their leaders to put pressure on the Consulate to open things up a little bit. Their businesses have got to be suffering. As things have changed at the Consulate and with my age... I just finished this week obtaining a one years extension based on RETIREMENT. (I even realized I'm creeping around, shuffling sometimes, like P. J. Biden.) That's scary because I'm fully aware (and I'm a decade younger than he is).

Will you share where you got a multi entry Non O based on Retirement? I know some will be very interested.

Seriously... Piss-0ff and be rude elsewhere. I don't spend my time reading about White Lotus, Lalisa or any other crap you want to throw out there... I asked a simple question. You've done nothing but try to insult me. Yeah, LA, I 'know about Leo and his polluted beach. Now he tries to be the great environmentalist. They're all hypocrites.

@thainetOk... You obviously pulled it out of thin air, because I don't know. Just forget it. Go be rude to someone else

What is this?

Oh, I forgot to comment on the mau phet and mai wan. Kannika covered the enunciation for mai phet = my pet. I think I'll go with mai wan = my wan. pretty straight forward. Think won and put an 'A' in it instead of an 'O'. Wan means sweet and Phet means spicy hot. Mai means 'NO'.

novacort is 100% correct and you'll find most menus will have a picture of a pepper or 2 or 3 or 4 depending on it's 'heat'. I suggest that you do not eat from most of the street food vendors. That suggestion is not because the food is bad, because most are good (very good), but you don't/won't know the difference. A lot of meat in Asia (and many other countries) use the spices to make a 'questionable' meat okay to eat. That's a danger. You've planned your trip... Look for reputable restaurants in the area that you're staying and eat there. Are you staying in Bangkok and want good Thai food. I suggest "Cabbages and Condoms". They're well know.

I had a surprise like that one time on Sukhumvit 5. As soon as I saw there was no split tail, only a shaft, I shut it all down that minute. I'm not into butt holes nor anyone's prick but mine.

Yes, I wanted to comment on this position taken by the embassy. I've been in the same boat as you for the past year. I'm applying a retirement extension next week, which will finally get me on the right track to getting my license renewed. Good Luck to you with the Agent route.

And if you're a democ rat you can replace confession with projection.

Well, good for him. So...

Yes, seajea, I have read other accounts here (or maybe as far back as ThaiVisa) that new Doctors are not paid in a timely fashion. There was a long discussion then, but no resolution. I know that's not what you want to hear. I don't think it's isolated to just the medical industry, either. I think in most cases the family, a friend(s), colleague(s) or a bank (a bridging loan of some sort) are how these new unpaid graduates get by. It's not correct to do them like that, but I know it happens.

Outstanding!! Thank you, I need one of these repair places. prsmodify looks like the place for me to go.

Interesting. I normally purchase 400 mg soft gel Ibuprofen, but about every 3rd time I drop by my pharmacy to purchase medicine, they'll grab the 200 mg pills instead. I know that the 200 mg is pretty standard in Thailand.

Great question(s). I bought some CBD gummies last year from an internet ad. In the end, I look in the mirror and see one of the fools born in a minute. It does help me to sleep, does 'some' good for my aching hip joints (both have been replaced and both ache), but within a week it seems the ache gets worse. I think I should try purchasing some oil from a vender, but I don't live in town so it's very inconvenient. I hope you get some good replies.

I'm sure he does, but most likely, IMHO, he gets some sort of compensation for each time he accompanies someone to immigration for the company.

I wish him great success.

I thought they were edible. Call in the WHO and get them harvested. 🤣🙃

There is no beach around the Gulf of Thailand that I'd go to if I wanted to get in the water. There are just too many rivers, canals and sewage pipes that discharge into it. The Andaman Sea is the place to go. I've read that Krabi and Railay beaches are very good and lower priced than Phuket

@roger101 Roger, I suggest that you open an online account, order the small chicken and select to pick up your order at your local Pattaya or Little Walk Pattaya Villa Market store. That should get them on the 'right' track to finding what you desire. They may have the Betagro products in a different section than the "meat market".

Hi, I tried the same thing 2 days ago and could get on, but today, Thursday 30 May, I had no problem. Good Luck. I have no suggest except from the wise words (not) of microsoft, restart your computer and try it first without engaging your VPN. (but this is just a punt. I don't know if it'll help).

Wow, and I've got all these extra 'cables' crammed into a cupboard in my office. Maybe I should strip all the insulation off of them and find a metal buyer. 🤣😇

I'm very late to this party, so you are probably already sorted. I renewed my passport by mail in November 2021. I just followed the directions on the Embassy website. The only thing I messed up on was including something to do with sending me the new passport in Thailand (was an envelop or money? I don't remember), but they sent me an email (or they called) and I took care of it straight away. I thought it was quite easy. I've never found photo shops to know the correct size. I've used 2 different shops in the last 15 yrs. I check the size needed for the forms (US passport, visa application, extensions, etc.) and tell them what I want. As someone else stated, you can trim the size that you currently have rather than going to another shop. (I remember many years ago one of our passports (my son or I) had a rectangular photo and they accepted it because the face size was correct).

And the surgeons, psychiatrist and other specialist doctors.
