You mean every day you are right.

Lipstick. Pig.

Pattaya's real problems need to be dealt with first - it still has tremendous tourism potential.

Thank you ubonjoe and maestro for your replies - as usual, nothing is cut and dried in Thailand, especially when it comes to the interpretation of the rules. Oh well! I shall pass on my experience of this procedure when it comes about. Muchos.

My daughter has Thai citizenship. She is over 30, fully employed as a teacher in Bangkok, owns a home. I plan to retire to Thailand in about 2 years - can commit 800k, but don’t want to if there is an alternative. I have heard that I can use my family connection to my daughter to get a long-term visa (similar to the compassionate grounds visa here in NZ), but can’t find any details. Has anyone heard of this?

Other salient points: I worked in Thailand for 28 years on a legal work permit. I am now 70.

(Note: Please don’t confuse the issue by referring to a dependent child – as I said above, my daughter is over 30, and therefore this does not apply to me.)

Be nice to clear this point up, so any help would be appreciated. Muchos.

Sigh. Yes, we know this. My humour is wasted.

Silly boy. It's bleach. Injected, as per the recommendation of one world leader (errrmm, ex-leader).

I understand, and so should everyone else, that the accident caused by Vorayuth, that resulted in the death of the RTP officer, was just that, an accident, it was not deliberate.

When you're drunk and/or drugged up and driving illegally, it's not an accident. Anywhere in the world. Wisen up friend.

If Thailand is to survive the challenge of its neighbours it should reject the rush to modernise and upgrade and instead return to the traditional ways of life. A more serene and laidback Thailand holds far more appeal than a slick, fast-paced tropical wringer.
