    I doubt many on here are in the same privileged situation. Many will have lost much to a previous mistake wife.

    I did as well when I was 30, but worked hard and got back on track. I don't consider myself privileged, never lived beyond my means. Never had a new car, didn't eat out, no Starbucks, worked as a Merchant Seaman for 20 yrs. away from home, no I'm not  privileged but understand my position is better than many. I have a friend back home who at age 63 can't stop working and won't until his health forces him to stop.

  2. I wouldn't have a problem living in Calif in one of my paid for homes on my SS and pension of $2600/mo.

    The gym back home is cheaper and 100% nicer than Thailand, food is comparable, beer and wine cheaper back home, can buy a nice cigar when I want, can walk into a store and buy a joint when I want, can walk down the street without nasty soi dogs coming at me, no more visa bs, can buy used cars cheaper, can buy a MC much cheaper.

     

    But, have a young daughter here in Thailand, live very close to the sea in a non touristy fishing village, can go to beach anytime with a cold beer (heaven) I don't know why I like it better here, it just feels right for now. 

     

    When it doesn't feel right I'll return to Calif and like will be good in a different way.

    Are you the legal father of your child by way of legitimization of your parenthood. Since she is 8 years old you could do it at a Amphoe.

    You have to be the legal father of child to apply for a one year extension of stay based upon being the parent of a Thai. To apply for the extension the 400k baht only needs to be in the bank on the day you apply (no 2 month requirement).

    You appartley have until December to apply for the extension of stay since that is when you current permit to stay ends.

    Her Birth Certificate has me listed as her father. That's all.

    400 for marriage extension. Seasoning is only 60 days and can spend the money after that.

    Again, that is something an agent can maybe help with.

    Agent can do for around 20k 

    I've been asking the local fellas about their agents, seems a pretty popular way to go.

     

    Thanks
