Best age to move to Thailand
Why is that, you can retire at 50 if you have the funds, I did at 52, I don't need to work or run a business.

Looking for help
There certainly is an Issue, the loan sharks will come banging on your door looking for her to repay, If you are with her in Thailand no matter what province you are in they will find you.

Passport expires next year before what should be a full one year extension
Yeh I got caught out last year and had to do the whole process again 5 months later. I presume your extension finishes March 1 24? You will have to re-apply in Dec 24/Jan 25 it will change your renewal date, from then on. You do not have to show your new PP to Immigration until the renewal date, as they have no idea when you got it. I got my new OZ PP 3 months before, it took 3months and 4 days to arrive. For me it was a bloody nuisance for me as it is high season at that time, and so many doing their 30 day extensions it was packed at my IO, I used to do it in July/Aug with just a few others there. Relax you have plenty of time to get a new PP.

Moving to Thailand
Even procedures as far as I know I did not get a 50% discount for being married, but they where still a lot cheaper, 10k for MRI scan, for a night and a bum cam the next day. When I was not Married 5 weeks all up in an Isolation ward, with TB, my GF at the time stayed with me 24/7 (Her shop was closed for that time) 'Falang food' about 6K USD, after that, I asked my GF to marry me

My Last Electric Bill, Ever!
Why do people find that confusing? there is a standing charge whether you use any electric or not even at 54b which I believe is the normal charge, its still only 700 baht a year.

Snack bars to night guards: Will reforms ease burden on Thailand’s teachers?
Why aren't local vendors selling the snacks, like every other school I have seen? She teaches just 15 hours a week, hang on I better just check my maths , just 3 hours a day? Gives her at least 5 hours a day for other duties. My heart bleads

My Last Electric Bill, Ever!
At 26 baht a month why get rid of the meter? To save 312 baht a year? Have you explained to PEA why your readings are low, to stop them replacing the meter, have you e-mailed there head office with photos attached?

Moving to Thailand
You can get the OZ pension paid into a Thai account but If you have assets in OZ then you could lose money as I understand it, it is means tested?, you can also get a disability pension paid into a Thai bank account if your wife/family live here. As for insurance if 3m baht in a good govt. hospital don't fix you then its all over IMO

Thai delight voted fourth best pancake in the world by TasteAtlas
Yes the British pancake is the best, thin (other wise called Crepes), lemon juice, sprinkled with sugar, then rolled. Not like the thick ones that Thais and the Americans seem to prefer. YUK and we only had them one day of the year, not for forking breakfast everyday.

my house has got many cracks in the walls
It's unclear whether its just the render that's cracked or the blocks themselves, a portion of render would need to be removed to see that, say about an inch wide.

Agree but if you do one side of the 'corner' first then when its set, do the other side, that can work.. or just use silicon.

Tragic scooter crash in Thailand leaves Queensland dad in coma
I realize the answer is probably no, but if you have a full M/C license from your own country like the UK, and wore a helmet would insurance pay out if you didn't have an international driving permit?
