Extension of stay Non O (marriage) Roi Et
I have usually found the people in Roi Et to be generally helpful. It won't do any harm to go in and have a chat with them first. Just remember that Savannahkhet is appointment online only now and that individuals have reported that getting one is problematic, due to the visa run mini bus companies booking the slots as soon as they are made available, 2 weeks in advance. Good luck.

If expat retirees in Thailand still lived in their own countries would lifestyles differ?
Absolutely they would. Certainly in my case the quality of life here is far superior than the UK.

I obtained my TIN without a CoR. Just used my yellow book, pink ID card and passport.

Extra Forms From Immigrations When You Get Extensions
I don't turn up with pre filled forms anymore as they always want to give you their one and ask you to fill it in at the table provided. Forms 1, 2 and 3 have been a requirement for sometime at my office.

British yoga teacher stranded in Bangkok airport over passport tear
Always risky getting multiple single tickets, miss 1 flight and your are Donald Ducked. Best to buy with the same airline on multiple stops, so much for saving money.

Can I leave the country when my extension is under consideration?
My home visits have always been after the extension has been issued not during the under consideration period. And they call ahead to establish if you are there before leaving their office. However, it's entirely possible some IOs may arbitrarily do it then in the under consideration period.

Single-entry tourist eVisa from London
A friend did the same thing last month and had to supply a copy of his utility bill, electric I believe he sent them, with his name and address on and the last one he had received. He got his visa done in less than 10 minutes he told me. I believe it's to stop people getting E visas from outside of the UK.

What are the positive and negative reasons for living in Thailand?
No plans to leave, been here 15 years, unless they kick me out for whatever reason. Positives are that it's a far better quality of life than where I came from and still is. Negative is having to deal with Thai bureaucracy but it's only a occasional negative.

Thailand Faces Population Crisis: Minister Calls for Action
Thailand is oblivious to the scenario. Throw in no parental responsibility on behalf of the male population who sire children and then disappear because there is no enforcement of their financial support for the child/children, it's hardly surprising women are opting out of having any.

US government tempts RTA with fleet of F-16 fighter jets
They should go with the Swedes. They have already integrated Thai data links into the existing fleet and it meets the criteria set out about technology transfer which the Yanks don't offer.

If you are a resident in Thailand, should you always carry your passport with you?
A copy will suffice, I carry a credit card size laminated copy in my wallet along with my other cards. Available in photo shops for a couple of hundred baht, or less.

Thai-ed up: British man’s terrifying prison ordeal in Thailand
I am so happy for him, he clearly has a very low level of intelligence. The guy is a <deleted> idiot absolutely no sympathy whatsoever. You do drugs do the time if caught. Bad guys out.

How long did it take you to feel like a local in Thailand?
Clearly a idiot, if he thinks he can blend in within 3 weeks as he sticks out like a sore thumb. Try getting out into a village 500 Kms from where you are and see if you fit in...

Negative Stereotypes About Thai Women in Relationships with Foreigners
I think it's the first time I've heard money described as superficial. Try living without it. IME most relationships are superficial and when coming from the province's money and their and their families future is paramount.
