The jock needs to watch his step going on like that with Thais in Thailand. The smaller, more sensible farang seems to have a South African accent

Thailand has a highway code....Really???

This just got me thinking so i checked my Kasikorn visa debit card, expiry date but no start date, very strange

It doesn't say when the tyres burst. Was it on take off or landing ?

 

Read the article, "informed the traffic control tower of the burst wheels moments before landing"

Fantastic news, can't say i was really optimistic all the time though.

One thing i don't understand about the plan now for getting them out, they are talking about 4 months to get them out. 10 years ago i did the PADI course here in Thailand, 4 days to qualify as an open water diver. I know it is a totally different situation, not open water, extremely limited channels to navigate and zero visibility, but 4 months?

I am sure and hopeful that when they start the rescue phase it will go a lot more quickly and smoothly than they are anticipating now, Well done to all the emergency services and everyone else involved, now get those kids back to their families

Thanks ubonjoe

I need some advice from you immigration gurus out there.

I have been retired in Thailand for 2 years on a married visa as my wife is Thai.  Due to all the hassle involved last year in renewing the married visa i have decided to apply for a retirement visa this year when it is due at the beginning of October.

My question is this, because it will be a my 1st application for a retirement visa, is it 2 months that the 800k has to have been in my account?, or is it 3 months because i have already been here for 2 years on a different visa. The amount isn't a problem, just means i might have to shuffle some money.

Thanks in advance
