Thais generally like gambling, and this would bring poverty to many in this nation. St.Marteen / Curacao in the Caribbean used to only allowed their citizens to frequency their casinos once or twice per month; but people found ways to get around this by forming groups for the days they are not allowed in. This will back fire like weed did in Thailand, where they found youths addicted. Again, only seeing the bottom line, tourist and money. Good luck Thailand.

In a casino you ever wondered why there are no windows, so one cannot keep the track of time. You ever wonder why when you are there you do not feel sleepy, because they pump oxygen below each table. If you take the casino big that day, they will see you sit there for 6-8 hours winning and have not left. They will offer you food, a room to rest, and hopefully they will win you the next day you are awake, because they see you are a gambler.

Many moons ago I was a gambler. I gambled all over. USA : Canada : UK : Netherlands : Singapore: Australia. I lose big, and won big as well. I was not a weekend or cruise ship gambler, I went all out. But one think I did, was always gambled where the returns are high. I would advise same. Why gamble in a country where the money is just 34 Baht to $1 or even less Euro, unless you really not a gambler and just having fun. Also if you win big, I mean big, you cannot get the money out. Seems stupid to me.

They never stated how they will use that place after (1) week. Rain here, June - October, November - January so much Formula 1 around the world, February to May burning and pollution. Nice Politicians talk.

Thanks all. Understood it fully. (3) months after retirement visa has been granted, nothing to do when one extension will start, and (2) months before going for one's renewal. Cannot drop below 400k in any month. Thanks again, great to note.

Just a quick question, is the 800K in a Thai Bank Account, cannot be touched for (5) months after the issuance of a Retirement Non-O extension, or from the date that the extension is valid from. I know it cannot go below 400k and must be back to 800k (2) months before going for your next extension.

Good idea, CharlieH

Korea, that is good to know. Thanks

The Op did not mentioned if a kid is in the mixed, either through marriage, meaning, the kid was born after you all got married and yours, or legally, before marriage, yours or not, via the court process. If a kid is in the mixed, again, and yours; you might be able to get and extension of stay to visit your kid. It is the same process as a marriage extension, but some immigration department require the kid to be resident with the foreigner. Others might be best to shed some light on this. If going via the Court, it takes awhile to get that final paper, that the divorce case is final. The Ampur requires that paper before they can issue your Divorce Certificate and Register your divorce. They also want to see a copy of the foreigner's passport in Thai. Your Embassy stamp on that copy, this is before converting to Thai. I reckon you can show immigration the divorce record, and let them know that you will exit Thailand, but need more than (7) days to get the Court paper to get your Divorce Certificate from the Ampur which is vital to you, see what they say.

Thailand is like a dog that started to sock your eggs from your chicken cage. You will not be able to stop it. Once they taste money, they will not stop.

A two friends were in Japan and did not realized that the passports (Bahamian); they are carrying required an eVisa to enter Thailand. They caught a plane, and arrives into Singapore Sunday gone, hoping to get their eVisa at the Royal Thai consulate there on Monday. They were told, they can apply, but they have to stay put in Singapore for 15 days for the eVisa. Not sure this is normal. They decided to head out to Edinburgh on Thursday.

If they make this into law, what happens to all the youths you see getting their crisp graduation certificates, where jobs are concern. Now that uncle & aunty are working past 60 in the service. They want the old folks to dead on the job, so the Government do not pay out pension or social benefits.

Unless you get this guy stuff, living here or anywhere else that's carries 220v, one would be guessing what really is pulling the energy. I bought David stuff back on 2018 from Korea, and it will tell you what applicants are pulling the energy. Be it a Dryer, AC, a Fan, Iron, Electric stove, Oven, or someone stealing energy from you, etc, thereby, limiting there use to keep your energy bill down. Also, I have found out from the Electric Company, how they calculate their monthly bill here, this too is very helpful. He has a YouTube video, and is a very very honest person. htt**://mywatt.biz/

This is not the first, nor will it be the last scam that these people attempt. The jails here are full of scammers. Most believe everything they see on TV soaps, and covert these things. The fancy cars, the nice dinning rooms, the living rooms filled with gold looking items, the watches, the list goes on and on. Hence I stated, sure will not be the last. They lack proper education, and those that have it, sadly, majority scam those without, simply a way of life here. Education is the key, and most here do not believe this.

Lets see how the business persons that run Thailand like this. They want a strong currency, nothing else, to be able to buy their raw products and pay less, bring it in and charge more, thereby causing inflation to rise. Pay less for their kids studying abroad, go on there foreign trips, and save their money outside in their children name who holds a bank account.
