Yet Thai deliberately runs over foreigner pedestrian, all captured on video, nobody arrested.

Seretide works for me, around 700 baht for 60 doses 50/250 diskus. Also contains a steroid, so I always rinse mouth and throat immediately after use. Running HEPA air cleaners all the time in my condo helps a lot too, so now I only need one puff of Seretide daily.

Arrest people for leaving bad reviews but don't arrest people for attempted murder/using their cars to intentionally run down pedestrians. Go Thailand police.

Had me at "explosion of feminine violence"

Yet the Thai police don't lift a finger for people being run down in the streets, including back alleys without sidewalks. They even said pedestrians have to pay for any damages to the cars that run them down!

That is very nearly correct. The first year I extended visa for reason of retirement (previously was for reason of marriage) the IO required my wife to be there to sign documents.

Meanwhile people caught on video driving over pedestrians on quiet sois and never even ticketed much less arrested...

Thai guy ran me over in his car and then came at me with a tire iron. Video posted right here a couple years ago. Media and police laughed it off. Today must be a slow news day.

I liked it except for the leeches. And Khao Yai has many many leeches.

When I went to Jomtien to extend my non-O visa from "reason of marriage" to "reason of retirement", the immigration officer asked to see marriage certificate, wife's ID and wife's house registration. Was told this is a one-time requirement when changing from marriage to retirement. Might also apply to those extending a non-O visa previously for reason of marriage to any other reason. Had I not been able to produce the required marriage documentation, the immigration officer would not have granted the extension for reason of retirement. Might not matter in your case if you're not trying to extend your non-0 visa, but you might want to double check just in case. Hopefully this will also help anyone else who might otherwise be caught unaware.
