First experience of Dr Oliver was via my wife going to him with a minor ailment. She came away with a bag of about half a dozen medications - ibuprofen, paracetamol, antibiotics, antiseptic cream etc.  I wasn't too impressed.
I have not so far encountered a GP of the sort the OP is looking for...

You don’t even know the town he’s referring to but you declare ‘he’s right in this case.’

 

That’s some kind of special logic.

 

Or it could be bias.

yes, many muslims live in the west and are active contributors to our diverse society.

You have evidence of that?
Australia has between 5 - 6% of the population that is muslim.
0. 00001 are on a watchlist as being Islamist. The majority are trying to get ahead.
But the odd idiot brings out the rednecks who condemn a whole race or a whole religion.
Just as Hitler did. Surely as a successful western democracy, we need not pour hatred out
to a very small population that is not Islamist. Just a minority religious group.
 There are many more fundamental Christians that scare me as much as muslims.

I bet she's a Brexiter [emoji23]

For those months you have to live like a married man on 400,000!

The "swifted" method should work OK.  That is what I have been doing monthly since last December, and it shows up on my BKB account statement as a foreign transfer.  
 
Unfortunately, my local office currently requires income used for a married-extension to be "pension income" only; I am not that old yet, so cannot use it.  Maybe, by the time my next Non-O-ME Visa runs out, they will have changed their policy but, I doubt it - hurdles tend to increase, only.  Eventually, if things continue as they are, they will narrow it down to the point where I can either pay them off through an agent, or abandon my family here.

Some suggested declaring the funds at Thai customs, and obtaining a receipt.  But this assumes the IO will not say, "Bank letter and statement showing 12x foreign-xfers accepted only."

It has as much chance as Brexit!

But isn't it owned by the bank now and they can spend it?

From my own experience yesterday (posted on another thread), they wanted
 
Copy of the marriage certificate.
 
Update of marriage registration certificate
 
Copy of my wifes' id
 
Copy of her housebook
 
Copies of the childrens birth certificates
 
Copies of the childrens Thai id
 
Copies of the childrens housebook registration
 
(The children are adults and don't live with us so it wasn't just a case of photo-copying an extra page in the wife's book)
 
Looking at that list I'm sure some people will wonder why I don't go down the retirement route and the answer is that I can see a time coming when retirement visas get much more difficult to obtain.
 
If that does happen, I can see a scenario whereby people on retirement visas try to change to marriage visas and then (given the mentality that I've encountered at the immigration office) the immigration officer asks why weren't they on a marriage visa from the start if they are really married followed by lots of hoop jumping.
 
(Maybe I just think too much)

 
Such as David Cameron, Tony Blair and the ineffable Gordon Brown????

Very rare were we live,but a lot of rich Thai people live around here ,lol

On the 28.01.2019 I received my yearly Visa Extension based on Retirement with expiry date 26.02.2020 using the minimum 800000 THB in my Bangkok Bank account for the previous 3 months without any problems at all from Udonthani Immigration Office which has been the case for all previous extensions and they have always been very helpful.

 

After receiving this I then booked a holiday in the UK, bought Health Insurance for my Thai wife and myself and let the amount drop to approx 470000 THB which I normally do.

 

To my great shock after reading on Thai Visa I read about the new requirements from Visa Extensions based on Retirement starting 01.03.2019 stating that the money in the bank must not drop below 800000 for the first 3 months after being granted permission; myself and my wife then went back to Udonthani Immigration for clarification as to whether the new rules apply to extensions issued before 01.03.2019. We spoke to the Boss at Udonthani Immigration Office about this however at the time he was unable to provide any clarification at all regarding the new Rules.

 

Based on what has now happened I will now not let my money in the bank drop below 400000 and will get it above 800000 as soon as possible and never let it drop below this value in the future.

 

I sincerely hope I do not have to do a Visa Extension based on Marriage next year as I have done several times before due to the hassle and long waiting time.

 

Has anybody had any similar experiences to my myself at Udonthani Immigration Office or other Immigration Offices.

 

Good luck to all future Applicants for Visa Extensions.

Just read that someone had a problem doing just that and now he got neither the marriage nor retirement visa (yes yes, I know it’s not called a visa but you know what I’m talking about)

 
I loved this film, especially the nods to Tarantino; no clue why it gets such bad reviews when John Wick 1/2 (which I also loved) get showered with critical praise?
