American Driver Arrested after Road Rage Incident in Wichit
Steven Pattaya replied to webfact's topic in Phuket News
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.

British Tourist's Robber Captured After Nightlong Hunt
Steven Pattaya replied to webfact's topic in Central Thailand News
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! -
Have you tried Glamping ? Take a look at Khao Yai
Steven Pattaya replied to Social Media's topic in Thailand Travel Forum
I liked it except for the leeches. And Khao Yai has many many leeches. -
Divorce and NON-O extension
Steven Pattaya replied to stoicccc's topic in Thai Visas, Residency, and Work Permits
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. -
Yesterday I applied for my first one year non-0 visa extension based on retirement at the Jomtien immigration office. This would be my sixth extension of the same visa, with all previous extensions on the basis of marriage to a thai woman. I want to be very clear that this was an application for an extension based on retirement. When my ticket was called The Witch (my name for the well known officer at Jomtien immigration) took my application packet, saw it included all the necessary documentation for a retirement extension, but then stated since this is my first extension based on retirement and my previous extensions had been based on marriage, she required my marriage certificate to continue processing my application. My TM7 form clearly indicates "RETIREMENT" under "Reasons of extension". Since my marriage certificate is not Thai, she required the official translation as well, along with my wife's ID and house registration. None of the other documents normally required for an extension based on marriage (e.g. maps, photos, etc.) were requested. I happened to have the original marriage certificate, wife's ID and house registration there, but since the copies were unsigned it appears The Witch would have refused my visa extension based on retirement application had my wife not been there to sign the copies. Then she took my passport (she still has it) and 1,900 baht, gave me a number card and told me to come back today. Has anyone else here been required to present a marriage certificate, etc. for an extension based on retirement (not marriage)?
