Darn, I thought that author died in a motorcycle accident near Nana (ref. Private Dancer, by Stephen Leather) ???? (terrible book, actually, IMO. I still haven't finished it.) Glad to know you're better than the guy in that book. ????

Just another lefty gossip rag stirring up the muddy pond to sell their trash. Trump talks to a lot of people...

Yep, I think you're right.

Yes, a work permit can be obtained when on a Non-O based on marriage. The company I was working for had a person who handled that. You may extend each permission to stay by 60 days, so you can go 150 days on one exit. It;'s a little tricky at the end if you do the 15 day options because you'll have approximately 65 days left on the Visa. Manage it as you like. I'm going to leave, return and do my 65 days then leave again. Upon reentry (at or near the expiration of the Visa) I'll receive another 90 days permission to stay, which I will extend another 60. Yep, you can get 17 months out of a one year Non-O. (Up to you, or not) NOTE: I am considering an Extension based on retirement this year. I love taking a car and driving over to Ban Phu Nam Ron, but they've been closed for a while, which has really messed up my old method. I hopped down to Singapore 2 months ago. I'm not sure where I'll go for my next trip. Plus, the trip to Savannakhet is a arduous journey; although, I might not drive next time. Retirement extension... maybe.

TO be honest. I am impressed.

I believe that ship has sailed. I think Mary Jane is here to stay. (I'm really glad for the CBD even though it didn't seem to help me).

You're #1, @Sheryl. Great advise (for all of us).

Good luck on your Visa Exempt run. IMO "Border Bounces" are for people who have a Visa but must leave every 90 days. You appear to know the rules, but here's a statement from 'thaiembassy.com', "If entering Thailand by land or sea, eligible travelers holding normal passports will be granted visa-free travel to Thailand twice per calendar year. There is no limitation when entering by air". Something to consider and Airasia to Singapore is not expensive (or wasn't a couple of months ago). Happy Trails to You

This is absolutely despicable behavior. I don't care who they support. To threaten a judge and to also threaten his family pisses me off. I hope they're found and prosecuted to the full extent of the law.

Actually it is a Visa Exempt permission to stay. Quit quibbling with the person. @BillStrangeOgre the 30 day extension from immigration (from my experience) is usually not a problem. Your problems will come at the border or airport with multiple entries. Staying out for the 30 days was to you advantage. Good luck in you travels. @DrJack54or @ubonjoeare you best sources for info, and maybe @BritTim

Actually, they do want him to run. They are counting on the 75,000,000 who backed him in 2020 to rally around him as the persecuted. Then they're counting on the 81,000,000 that got counted for P.J Biden to do it again.

????????????????

He 'governs' Bangkok. He has a lot of say, but he is not a ruler nor does he make the law. I don't live 'in' BKK, but I saw that article. Didn't make any sense to me.

You don't know my wife then. She does let me run one in my 'office', but she does not run any A/C where she is in the house. I keep the thermo at 26-27 (25 at night) and she uses 3 blankets. (of course this time of year the A/C compressor runs full time even when on 27, except for when it 'cycles').

Yep, one day is all it'll take. IMO.

Mostly likely. (and the pardon is waiting)

I tried it and have never wanted a Mac since. (I must admit when Windows 7 was first introduced I thought about it). I don't think like a MAC.

Mostly likely a cargo ship of some kind dumped it's bilge and that's what's made it to Samui. *** *** just saw Tropicalevo post. He is more likely correct. He researched it. I made a conjecture.

Well, stated. And they can claim political crime all they want, but some were blatant money or land grabs.

Well, spidermike, I agree, but you and I have lived here long enough to remember that the brag was Thailand was already wearing mask because of the pollution. (I still wear them in Big C and the pharmacy so 'they' won't call me a dirty farang). ????????

@LuckyG I think you are inquiring about something similar to this. A judge in Buriram established a precedent in 2020 in which a common law marriage is recognised in Thailand and have the full rights of marriage. I think that sort of fits into the "Life Partner" definition that you're looking to discuss. https://scandasia.com/danish-man-wins-lawsuit-against-thai-wife-for-not-sharing-assets/ It says Thai wife in the title, but there had been no ceremony nor registration at the Amphur (Ampoe).

Thanks for the nice report.

Wow, the people in the UK have to "register" where they live...

Funny.. That's for sure. ????
