Germany did already weeks ago

The man tells the truth as anyone should understand. One man can only drive one car at the ime. That means, the 28 more cars in his garage couldn't be driven by people falling in a micro sleep or produce accidents by brake failures. So he protected the people, can't you see? Please show a bit more empathy with such a honorable Thai man, you bloody farang!

The ID card is only the first step. Next they'll get their drivers license.

...and if you bring in a massive amount of money, don't tell your wife's brothers and cousins. It could reduce your life expectancy.

I'm sure, all of those cars belong to a lately deceased close friend of the honorable colonel.

Transfers from my german banks always are available on my BKK Bank account next day, if the transfer is done before 12:00 a.m.

lose-lose-situation for drivers in Thailand. Don't stop at the Zebra crossing and you'll hit the pedestrian. Stop and you'll be hit by the following car ????

The driver was Thai so I think it was a brake failure followed by a brain failure. The second one seems to be international according to some posters here and their habit protecting their holy cows.

Thailand and Pattaya will change and not in a way we would like to. Covid did not start, it just strengthens the process. China and India are close neighbors with a fast growing middle class. For Thailand it is not important from where the tourist money comes. They don't need us anymore. Less western customers means less western focussed business means less western tourists means..... - a vicious circle.

UbonJoe & DrJack, great advice. That saves me from two trips to the Thai Consulate. I needed the 1-year statement last year and thought it would be the same this time. With 45 days on exempt and a possible 30 day extension everything should work fine for me. Halleluja!

Thanks for your replies, guys! I thought about entering TH on visa exempt to avoid the two trips to Munich for the Non-Immi-O. But I fear time could run out after 14 days of quarantaine with only one month left for the extension-process. I have to start all over again. To get the one-year bank statement takes 2-3 weeks. If I'd be testet positive during the time in ASQ (got my two shots more than 6 month agoin, many false-positive results with PCR) I would be in trouble. The health insurance is no problem. It is mandatory as long as I am German resident and it covers each and everything worldwide. Anyone here who did his ASQ in Amaranth Savarnabhumi Airport Hotel? The reviews are ok and it seems quite bearable to me (balcony, smolers room, 7E-delivery). Have a nice day!

Hello all I left Thailand due to professional reasons in March 2020. So I did not see my son and GF for nearly 1.5 years and now I can't stand it anymore. My 1 year extension of stay (retirement) ran out March 2021. My plan is to come back to LoS with a Non-Iimigrant-O (not OA) Retirement. Is it still possible to get a 1 year extension of stay with such a visa? Was there a change of the requirements since last year (800k in bank, health insurance)? Any suggestions for a good AQ hotel in BKK or are there also certified hotels in Pattaya? Thankyou for any advice. and habe a good time - as far as possible right now
