You need two original medical certificates

Renewed my 5 year today in and out in one hour as I was prepared. Did the one hour DLT on line training before hand, Documents required Copies of front and back of existing licence. copy of passport, visa, extension pages. it says copy of lease but they said not needed. Medical certificate from any clinic cost 200Baht Residence letter from immigration. You must go in person to make an appointment, you cannot do online on line. You go back on the day they advise its as simple as that. If you go after your license expires you get 6 years not five.

Try looking at the Ford Everest, some good deals on used ones. Excellent fuel consumption, full 7 seven seater, lots of safety features and my missus who is 5,5 can drive it with ease. I would not touch a car going for 250k

Medisafe finally responded, much cheaper than Fascino so next time it will be from Medisafe

Thanks for the tip, I got from Fascino.

I have Type 2 diabetes and after being diagnosed in Hua Hin I was prescribed Amaryl. In Hua Hin it has never been a problem to obtain this at pharmacies. Now I am in Pattaya I cannot find anywhere that sells it. Can anyone advise of a pharmacy that sells it.

It all depends why you want to buy. 1. If as an investment then do not expect to make much if any profit when you sell. There is a huge property surplus in Thailand so how can your property really increase, unless it is something spectacular. 2. If purchasing to live in it does not matter if the value increases. However I lived in my place for 10 years and sold it for exactly the same as I paid for it, so potentially I lived rent free. Of course I still had to pay for maintenance and upkeep. But I had the pleasure of my own place. 3. If renting you have no guarantee of the rental cost in years to come. The property is never yours so you have limited options to change anything. Plus you are always staying at the whim of the owner.

Insurance was never applicable until Covid came along, I doubt it will ever be dropped as the government has wanted this for years. As for a Non O visa I have no knowledge as I have always had O-A visa. I suggest you ask your local Immigration office. For Non O if insurance is not applicable do you think it is wise to be here without even basic insurance?

The requirements for O-A visa extension are specified on the TGIA web site Guidelines Non-Immigrant Visa (O-A) - Health Insurance for Long Stay Visa in Thailand (tgia.org) Renewal (before Sep,1 2022) The applicant must have the valid local health insurance policy with the minimum of coverage of 400,000 Baht for inpatient treatment and 40,000 Baht for outpatient treatment.

This is the first I have heard of an O-A visa extension of stay being declined. A 75 year old Australian guy I know who has been in Thailand over 22 years on an O-A visa and having plenty in the bank has had his visa extension declined as he could not obtain insurance, he has a number of underlying conditions. He is now leaving for Australia next week, no family or home to return to so he has no real plans of what to do. The only good thing is he can get medical treatment there. I think this may apply to many others in the future.
