I always found all work to be drudgery.

Maybe not for the first month or two, but after that completely dull.

And the people that were happy in their work, I also found completely dull.

The only exception was cutting up logs for the wood burner, chainsaw and axe, quite happy to do that for an hour or so every day.

A couple of jobs I had were fun . I was on a project crew so the work changed day to day or week to week

I had one growing up spent many days in the woods hunting with him. My wife says they're ugly

Don't you have to register your marriage and also get a thai marriage certificate from your wife's amphoe (district office)?

I'm not sure we had a certified true copy of our marriage certificate. Unless they change the savings amount I ok like it is

Sure are. Don't personally know many people with assets of over 1M dollars in their home countries. I have absolutely no assets in the UK. Nothing. Nadda. Zilch. 

I'm with you I have 0 assets in the US other than my 401 we sold everything to move here and buy a house. I have the 800,000 BHT in savings for my retirement visa for some reason I couldn't get a marriage visa even with a US marriage license

The military junta changed the Constitution in Thailand. They have now every seat in the Senate, so there are small possibilities for a regime change.

Unless another general wants to take over

Wrong, I could turn it on 24/7 if I wanted to but I enjoy the warm climate in Thailand all the year as opposed to the cold and grey winters in Europe.

I have a wonderful and replenishing sleep with the fan next to my bed.

During the dry cooler months we just use a fan if our house had of been insulated and a whole house fan installed most of the year we wouldn't use a/c but as it is when we run the a/c it's set at 27 

We own our home and live on about 30,000 a month including a truck payment

Your best bet for getting something done about this would be to make a complaint at your local Tessabaan (Council) office.

 

Avoid direct confrontation as he might get nasty, let the local Thai gov't deal with it.

Since burning plastic is an everyday event the local govt probably won't do anything either

You have a link to verify that because I didn't make this up -- I saw multiple links saying very explicitly NO BALLPOINT PEN.

Also, less weirdly, the color must be black or blue.

No ballpoint pen:

Just did my 90 day report and wasn't asked for my bank book or proof of how much I had in the bank.

35 meters of hot sand to burn your feet getting to the water

Haven't you heard?  There is a new rule for those on 'retirement' visas.  You are only allowed to visit Pattaya two times each year.........

 

Elite visa like me get unlimited visits to Pattaya.. ????????????

[/sarcasm]

If you're just visiting how do they know. I've been too many places here (including Pattaya 5 times last year) I don't check in with imagration every where I go.

Clean it up and put thousands of people out of work ????

doesn't the first application require two bank letters?  one showing the balance that matches the passbook, and the second that confirms the 800k came from overseas?

All I had to show was 800,000 in a Thai bank for 3 months
