So I’m wondering with all of the contaminant possibilities out of the tap, is there any local options to test the water before, and following any filtration options one chooses?  After all you can believe what you read the side of a box, and what a salesman you want to believe tells you; but what is in the glass and going into your body is what really matters...  to me anyway.  I have an Amway E-Spring and I’m very skeptical of it catching any and all contaminants...  so begs the question where I can test the filtered water not knowing without what’s actually in it.  Thanks...

I’ve no affiliation with Amway nor E Spring, but here’s the sales brochure for anyone who care to read and comment.   

I am always a single walk on… Any advice of local courses in Chang Rai that can accommodate me on short notice? I’ve read some horror stories and I’m just wanting to steer clear and not waste my time or someone else’s. If you have any knowledge of off-season rates cart/caddy (current) for resident that would be helpful.   Thanks in advance for any help.

Savannakhet is a great little town!  Nothing wrong with staying a few days...  I see it was mentioned be prepared for a potential embassy long line and overnight delay.  No reason to go to MUk, everything is available in ZVK. 

Anyone have any recent Non O Spousal visa experience with what’s required following the initial 90 days, and when?  I believe 45 days into the 90 I can submit for the 1 year extension of stay, not clear on exactly what is currently required doc-wise at the 45 day point @ CM immigration?  All of the docs for the visa again, same doc pack (x2) as recently accepted, or something other?  And when is it advisable to begin the process, couple weeks before expiry?

thanks-

At present, I do not have a Thai bank account.  Can one be established with a Tourest visa?  Seems like I tried one time a year or two ago and I was turned away...?  Decided I didn’t need it with ATM access and didn’t really care... haha. See I’m really 50+ =)...  Will the Immigration Dept. accept American bank holdings?  Or Am I caught in Catch 22?

My apologies in advance as there is a lot of traffic on the Subject..  I’m looking for the ideal option for an American / Thai spouse.  I can meet either of the two options, age financials etc.. but I am not clear on whether the marriage or retirement visa is best, and why.  I do not plan on employment.  Have any of you travelled down this path and have sound guidance based on experience?  Is Cost and renewal times comparative or is one clearly better than the other?  I have a tourist visa now, that I suppose can be converted?  Appreciate any help here.  Thx.
