And the Thai navy done nothing….probably outnumbered that’s why they didn’t respond, had the Thai navy had 20 ships and 10,000 men it might have responded, they don’t like an even fight

More like two nightclub doormen offered him a lift home, they saw how drunk he was and tried to rob him once he was inside their pickup when that didn’t work out they both set about him and threw him out of their truck, all this Good Samaritan <deleted>e is just a fabrication

I live in Khon Kaen and we have a lot of fairly large second hand dealers in the city, it looks like they take the trade ins from the main dealers, but again these don’t have prices on the screen/ windshield, I bought a car from a teacher in the university when I went to view the car I took a small OBD2 code reader with me after the test drive I plugged the reader in and got zero fault codes so I had a pretty good idea if the car was good or not, I ended up buying the car after doing a few more simple checks, just remember Thais are not good at getting basic maintenance done, the tyres on the car I bought were over 7 years old ( tyres have a date of manufacture stamped on the sidewall) good tread but the sidewalls were starting to crack, the second hand car market is a minefield no matter where in the world you are

Hi Dr Jack many thanks or your reply, I’m going to be using the Khon Kaen immigration office ,I’m going to try and get an appointment with the embassy to get my marriage paperwork sorted out for when I arrive back in Thailand, so do you think I can arrive in Thailand and get a 60 day visa exempt stamp, during the 60 days get married and then say a week before my initial 60 days expires get a 60 day extension to that for “ visiting Thai wife “, and then apply for the non O based on marriage? I will have the 400k in the bank anyway but I’m going to try the monthly income route and see how that goes

Hi all, I have even in Thailand for 3 years on a non O based on retirement and then extensions, my current extension expires end of may 2025 I’m going back to the uk middle of may 2025 for a month or possibly longer which means my extension will expire, I’m planning on returning and then getting a 60 day visa exempt stamp in my passport and then a 30 day extension ( assuming the 60 day visa exempt will still be in place by then) whilst on the 60 day exemption I’m planning to marry the gf, so my questions are can I marry on the 60 day exemption and then apply in Thailand for a non O based on marriage? do I have to have the 400,000 baht in my account on the day I apply for the non O or does it need to be in my account for a few months before? looking forward to any information you might have

Why am I not surprised by this type of behaviour, selfish race of people in every aspect of their lives

My mrs said that November is a merit making month so lots of music and partying, so hopefully in the next few weeks it will die down….but remember that Thais generally don’t give a rats arse about who their noise affects it seems to be the way they are…Thailand is a noisy place to live

They piss anywhere and unhygienic

That comes as no surprise, Thailand thinks the world revolves around them

@Keeps thanks for the information, going Bangkok to Amsterdam would save me 17,000 baht which is good but my flights from Amsterdam to Heathrow wipe out that saving…

Well a good mixed bag of answers there, we are flying bkk to lhr and at the moment I can fly premium economy on outbound and inbound flights and the price is 121,000 baht total for both of us , I would fly Thai airways as I have done many times before but they don’t do premium economy on that journey and business class will bankrupt me 😀, I will look and see if it works out cheap enough if I book one way only and then while in the uk book one way business class…I will just go through their app as suggested and mess around with variations and see what I come up with

Thank you, I didn’t see a travel forum ..apologies for that 👍🏻

Hi all, I’ve been looking at flying to the Uk using EVA air, when you go through the booking process you are offered seat upgrades, does anyone know if these upgrades are offered when you check in online and are they cheaper? I’ve never flown with EVA but I’m fed up of paying Thai airways prices

@DrJack54 yes I’ve had a good look through the requirements, looks like a couple of days faffing around in Bangkok and asking our amphur if there’s any requirements they have regarding translations of paper work, thanks for the link, I think I will get any questions I might have answered in there 👍🏻

@DrJack54 yes I’m getting married in Thailand around October or November, the family are doing a big make merit party so I might combine the wedding ‘party’ with the merit party. I intend on always having 400k in the bank anyway but want to try the monthly income method, if something goes wrong I have a back up by having the 400k sitting there, the main reason to change to my Irish passport is that the embassy do still issue the letter for immigration regarding meeting the monthly requirements.
