In other words, once you go down this road aren't you stuck going down this road for the rest of your life.  If not, how do you get back into the mainstream.  Remember,  you won't have any agent to help you do this.

99% of people using agents in pattaya are stuck with them anyway as they will never ever see 800k. or even 100k

And if they did want to get back into the mainstream put 800k in the bank 2 mths before and the agent will help you convert [maybe definitely if you pay them enough ]

Or start again exempt > non-o > retirement visa.

I am very sure this insurance issue, is really stressing people here!

Frankly there is no way anyone can stay here once over 70 plus, premiums through the roof, and most have pre existing conditions that are not covered anyway!

The obvious fair answer to benefit everyone, oh except the insurance companies is to just park 450,000 baht in a bonded account.

This will save people a fortune ,and provide cover for the Thai authorities.

I have to ask , is anyone actively promoting this idea, to the powers that be?

The other option is 20 year elite visa, I guess the worry there is if they make medical cover mandatory for that!

No need to stress, or worry.   Just a proposal,   for O-A only.  Probably never happen.  

Just park 450k in a bonded account ?  I doubt that anyone is actively promoting your idea to the powers that be.  

And if they did i don't think the powers that be would listen unfortunately,. TIT

so fred owes 1900 bt from when he did his retirement visa on the 7th of oct.

doubt it.

 as said before it's his receipt for 1900bt  which he paid on oct 7th 2018

mystery solved

I just applied for a new USA passport and expect to receive it in two weeks. Another two weeks after that my retirement visa expires on June 3rd and I will apply for another year. I know I need to have my visa 'transferred' over to my new passport using the letter they give me. Can I do it all in one trip to immigration? Get the visa transferred over and renew my retirement visa in one trip? How will that work? Thanks. 

In pattaya it's 2 trips,  They can't multitask. too difficult.     Maybe CW can

Yes that will work, but agent route easier, cheaper.

Who holds these immigration offices to account?

 

Is this corruption or just not doing their job properly. There must be somewhere to complain about this.

 Nobody.

Make it up as they go.

Not doing their job correctly, The usual general incompetence, totally clueless + maybe a bit of corruption thrown in.

 [after agent money]

Call 1178. immigration hotline,   Sorted.  

In the unlikely event that doesn't work use an agent. Thats what they were invented for.

Chiang Mai buddy,  Assist thai visa, OS thai visa, Tian visa, Star visa service Probably others.

No need to start again.

I don't think that Thais are stupid, far from it, but they definitely have this work-ethic of not being responsible for anything, let the boss do the thinking and planning and we'll just do some menial labour to get our pay. Only problem is that the project manager is probably round at his mia noi's house drinking siam sato, where he's been for the last week or so.

 

Far from stupid , as in intelligent ?

BTS skytrain ramp going to nowhere. Thinking and planning.

Ok as long as every one got paid+kickbacks  

Can get paid again to sort it out.

My second experience was a very nasty ghost who moved houses with my family, the ghost became very jealous of my grandson and would appear to him as a big Teddy Bear, after several months this teddy bear would attack my grandson while he was sleeping and bite him.

 

 

 

The '' very nasty big teddy bear ghost'' would attack my grandson and bite him ?  really?

I believe life had some sort of intelligent design, and as I've pulled human remains out of a submerged plane crash and observed the lack of life, there is something about humans having a soul. It's even been weighed.

''It's even been wei ghed''.  

 Don't think so.  Some crackpot doctor in 1901 attempted to weigh it.  

Came in at 21 grams. Can you weigh something that doesn't exist ?

How much does the tooth fairy weigh ? or an angel,? or santa.?

That will be the 21 gram soul.   Surprisingly science at the time was skeptical, and still is..   

Basic science he should have known:

For something to have weight it has to have mass, therefore volume.

If the soul has the same density of lead 11.34 g/cm3 the volume of the soul  would be 1.85 cm3

If the same as polystyrene 1.04 g/cm3. vol = 20.2 cm/3    [think that's right]

This assumes the soul is a solid homogeneous object.  A hollow soul would be bigger.

So where is it?

The nutjob then went on to murder 15 innocent dogs to weigh their souls.

conclusion ? they don't have one.   QED.   

Another loon tried it with mice,  replicated the same result.   So no mice or dogs in heaven.

Next experiment he tried to photograph the 21 gram soul leaving the body.  Epic fail.

Don't hold back ricky.

Based on the death toll of your "holey" book...appears Satan was the kinder/gentler one. 

 

Murders by Satan: 10

Murders by Yaweh: 2,400,000+ minimum ???? OMG! 

 

 

Thats only numbered killings in the bible, no mention of the genocide when he flooded the earth + others.

I read a small book called walking withJesus. And it says Jesus never lived and all the people in the bible never lived. It is all invented and the bible was written by wise men who wrote allegories to help people live a happy and fulfilled life. You just have to understand how to interpret. Sounds more likely than believing the bible telling history.

And the bible was abused by the churches to control people with fear

Read more than a small biased book. Question more. Research. Plenty evidence he existed. Killed by Pilate.

Also  mentioned by Pliny and Tacitus,  2 hi-so Roman politicians .

Pliny writes of the christians ''pig headed obstinacy'' 

Tacitus calls their religion a destructive superstition.  [ not wrong there ]

No evidence he was the son of god, performed miracles , or rose from the dead though.
