What are you talking about? Gofundme is not limited to emergencies. Gofundme is primarily used to raise money from friends and family in any situation requiring financial help. Strangers can give as well, and often do if the campaign gets media coverage. Since the OP is willing to share her mother's image, that goes a long way to establishing credibility.
Also, I agree with the comments that with the right visa agent, all of these problems will go away.
I know exactly what Im talking about.
"It is estimated that there are approximately 44 million people worldwide living withAlzheimer's disease "
Really everyone of them can try go fund me?
Thats not how it works. the truth is she is well cared for with a wonderful family= zero chance of GFM
GFM works with young tourists with staggering medical bills and not old folk in their 80's with age related illness

Yes. You admitted you near had 5 ACCIDENTS!!! overstay is 500 baht per day. You place a cheap price on your own head thats for sure
You could have pulled up any number of taxis refuelling at the servos he was drinking at.

Interesting that you bring that up. I was in an expensive hospital room getting antibiotic drips every 6 hours and it was costing me about 20,000 baht per day. I calculated that I would drop below the 800,000 mark before my extension the following month.
So I checked out of the hospital after persuading the doctor to give me a stronger single dose every morning and was treated as an outpatient for another week at about a quarter of the daily cost. But the main reason for checking out was to allow me to get to my computer and transfer more cash to Thailand to make sure I would be above the 800,000 mark. (I now keep a lot more in the bank.)
This does raise a question however: what happens if you use up your cash on emergency hospital treatment just before your extension? Will Immigration accept a hospital bill/receipt for, say, 200,000 baht plus a bank book showing 700,000 baht left? I bet there are no clear rules for that!
Whats the big deal. If you drop below you do a visa run and start again..not the end of the world

We are paying EIGHTY SIX THOUSAND baht per MONTH for her care, plus meeting our own financial requirements for immigration. 86k per month is way way over the 65k requirement for her, but immigration does not recognize this because it is coming from us and not a foreign source.
Send the money back to your home country and resend it back to her Bank account every month. They don't care who sends it as long as its in her account every month.
You can then bank transfer to her care center or pull the money out via debit card

A great deal depends on your earning power if you were to return to Oz and have skills that are saleable.
My point is that the reason why everything in Oz is so expensive is because all the workers - of all kinds - are paid so much! The 'minimum wage' is AUD720 a week (≃ $37K pa). If your taxable income is less than $67K, you get a 'low income' tax offset. The median f/t earnings is $82500 ... and so on.
Without that kind of earning power, life back in Oz would be pretty tough.
A lot of that would be tied up in house loans ,car loans, school fees, etc etc in fact most ozzies are in debt to their eyeballs.

I still feel they are making the change in steps and Step 1 is to require insurance for O-A visas at their gateways (consulates in home countries). Step 2 would be to require insurance when applying for extensions of stay in Thailand. It would be absolute pandemonium if they did this all at once and I think they will have to give those on extension of stay more notice than a month or two. I am not a scaremonger , just expressing a common sense opinion.
Majority have 800k and THEN 400k all year exactly the same as O-A insurance coverage. Did you miss that?

if you think Airbnb is for the benefit of the everyday person, you are having a laugh. What has happened in countless Western cities is landlords kicking out long term tenants so they can 'airbnb' the apartments. This causes gentrification of areas, where locals are slowly kicked out and the life of the area is sucked dry. Add to this the rising rental prices for ordinary people, just so airbnb and rich landlords can make more profit. I am glad Thailand is trying to stop this.
The immigration stuff about reporting address, that is another matter and is bs
Trying? they do what they always do. Have a crackdown that last 5 minutes and go back to more lucrative income streams. As much as I would love to see it we all know how a crack down works in thailand

36 minutes ago, AJBangkok said:I don’t follow your logic that common areas are being abused. Is it abuse like graffiti or purposely breaking things or is it wear and tear caused by what you deem excessive usage? Surely you must understand that whether it’s the owner or the tenant of an apartment, the usage is just interchangeable. You are not creating more usage rights so you are not abusing a right, you are just exercising it. The rights are the same. You may think some owners or tenants may have excessive use of the common areas but how do you define “excessive” usage and do you expect a judge in a court of law would accept a complaint based on your definition of excessive usage, or even the concept of excessive usage of common areas in a condominium. So long as a person, whether owner or tenant, is using a common area or facility for the purpose it was meant for its not abuse.
I respect your right to express outrage at a situation you don’t like but it would not be smart to stop “forking out” your common area fees because you think the common areas are “being abused” as you will loose that argument 100% and could end up losing your condo if you don’t pay for a long enough time.
"Im not forking out common area fees so Common areas can be abused."
Didn't mean literally not paying especially now we have 100% strict enforcement.
did you not read my previous post? wear and tear plus noise and security concerns
People in condos are not just interchangeable their is a massive difference between short and long term. Indians and chinese and koreans had no problem sleeping 4-6 in a studio .
You miss my previous post #86?
"Condos are for long term tenants most in ours working 9 to 5 and during this time its fairly quiet especially pool and gym.
Before we had strict enforcement the building was like a <deleted> amusement park !! kids screaming running up and down the hall hallways , the pool full of kids peeing and screaming, the Gym which now has strict dress code full of Asians and indians (indians 6 in a studio ) in bare feet taking up all the machines
At night hookers and lady boys roaming the hallways coming and going, parties until the wee hours with thumping music . I could go on (lower sukhumvit)
And you think thats OK, what the hell is wrong with you !! "

Your right its not a good thing. Its a GREAT thing. I have and will continue to report suspected abusers. Im not forking out common area fees so Common areas can be abused.

I can not imagine a law more easy to enforce. All you have to do is Google the providers of this illegal service, meet them at the scene of the crime, and arrest them. What is lacking is the will, certainly NOT the way!
Easier way is simply for the BIB to make a booking on AIR BNB and organise a sting . They could do 10 a day and get the press there with them. Wait forget the press , no chance of tea money with those pesky cameras around

I was just about to post that. I would guess most couples end up that way after the honeymoon period after the excitement of building a house and pick ups all around
