Must say you are doing it on the cheap - most Thai like to eat a lot from venders and that would normally double or triple your costs. Guess you are a chape priced vender.

As said above if this is for use outside Thailand be sure Thai notary is acceptable. Thailand has not signed the Apostille Convention as can be seen below so local stamp has no legal meaning outside Thailand.

A microwave is not an oven by definition. Poster clearly stated microwave worked. Suspect best to contact owner and ask them what to do - improper work on a microwave could become a health (burn you) issue. As said it could be just a fuse wire inside - but taking apart by untrained is not advised.

So about half the government school lunch program allowance per meal? Rice is nice I guess.

I don't have any wallet. Just use Visa debit card for payments. It is not free but at only 1 percent worth it for me (most activity is under 1,000 baht). Ended up using COD for air-conditions but for multi small packages worth the extra to not have to make payments on delivery.

Refund has never been more than a few days for me. Last payment to USAA Debit Card to Lazada on 7 Feb was immediately canceled by seller as being wrong price (his posted price). Amount charged $481.19 on 7 Feb. Refund on 9 Feb $481.62.

Sorry - was thinking your wanted to change to retirement extensions of stay - which is what we have been talking about. You have a minor Thai daughter living with you? That indeed would be different requirements.

Just the opposite - we must do because our Embassy/Consulate will not provide required letter of income. It is an alternative Thailand allowed when three major countries refused to confirm income that you previously reported in a Consulate letter to immigration. Privacy laws I suspect a major factor preventing valid confirmation in a reasonable manner.

Actually an expiring passport in 90 days would result in such an extension - you can also ask for the number of days for extension on the TM7 indicating a shorter period could be approved when requested.

1. 2,000 baht is visa entry for 90 days - then you must extend for 1,900 baht with proof of financials (2 months in Thai account or 12 months of pension payments into Thai account (in your name only accounts). 2. (3) No. The US Embassy will not confirm pension income - so we only have option of 12 months of 65k or more payments into Thai bank account for income method. You must have money in Thailand or coming into Thailand for in country extensions of stay. 3. (4) there is no option to extend 90 days without meeting financial requirements.

You right - was thinking of the single or multi entry non immigrant O visa which was an option for retirement prior to the Non O-A; and from some Consulates remained an option. Sorry.

He has now said what it actually is - visit daughter - and extension is normally restricted to reason original visa entry was made. So appears a new visa exempt or tourist entry and conversion (funds in Thai bank account) would be his best option. That way no insurance issue. You are right that current policy is O-A is multi entry for one year - but they had single entry O-A for many years and was not sure if they may have changed policy with the e-visa system.

The problem may be visa for visit daughter and he wants to extend for retirement - first extension of non O visa entry normally has to be for the reason visa was issued.

Likely because he likely has an O-A visa which is what he would get for long stay via evisa. https://www.thaievisa.go.th/visa/long-stay-visa

They only accept their approved insurance (or those that give management letters of coverage perhaps) - there is no provision to accept FEP/Blue - the insurance works fine but it is not accepted by immigration for extensions of O-A visa entry. As said best to enter with just a non immigrant O visa or convert a vise exempt/tourist visa to such after arrival to avoid the insurance issue. Alternative, it not that old, is pay for the minimum extra insurance coverage that they accept (but keep FEP/Blue for actual use).

I probably looked at that clock during the six months I spent there. In 60/61.

They still do - time zone 24 is Zulu. Makes it much easier as just add the letter "Z" to date/time and you know what it means anywhere in the world. WWVH is NIST (formally National Bureau of Standards) transmitter in Hawaii.

Understand - but I still call it GMT and consider WWV the time standard authority. Bit long in the tooth I admit.

The OP source is a UK report. I am not saying all UK (or Thai) reporting is bad. But we seem to get a bunch of it here on the internet.

Math seems a bit strange - even if the 1.5 hours was just outbound flight time. That he was allowed to fly also seems at odds with normal practice these days. So wife got back on a replacement flight leaving body where? UK news reporting seems almost as bad a local stuff.

Very true and likely a factor in the large numbers from Pattaya (older hotels). But in this case rail seems to be high enough.

As said you have to use CW as that is your extension of stay office. In the past there were options to use the business extension center and several shopping center foreign workers locations but that option was removed (but perhaps you have heard talk of them).

Bangkok Bank indeed did have electronic clearing at one time - but check amounts/types were limited and it seems to have only lasted a few years. If no US bank endorsing to relative in USA might be an option.

If needs are small and bright bought several of these about 2 years ago and have found them excellent (and actually looks good) - size of life saver pack but much stronger than normal flashlight and has excellent zoom - at under 70 baht with battery a real value. Expect someone sells on Lazada but not sure. https://shopee.co.th/LED+Flashlight%2C+Portable+3+Modes+Rechargeable+Waterproof+Torch+Light+LED+Flashlight%2C+Use+USB+power%2C+1200+mAh+battery%2C++5W++(lyfs.th)-i.100515615.7041996539/?smtt=580.128498532.7&stm_medium=referral&stm_source=rw
