Thanks for putting my mind at rest to all posts.....

Just applied for a Tourist visa online & was surprised how less problematic it is now, didn't ask for bank statements or the hotel owners I.D were i would be staying at, didn't have to input the same files to be able to proceed, this was something that i always dreaded every year, now its so much easier, obviously its stilling being processed so fingers crossed, so did anyone else notice it & when did they update it?

Thanks in advance.....

No.  Doing it that way you will first have to apply to convert to a non-O and then later apply for the extension.

O.k thanks....

O.k thanks, I'll apply for another tourist visa & then apply for an extension of stay based on retirement....

Yeh sorry my mistake, yeh I saw the extra requirements if applying in the u.k, this why I wanted to apply in Thailand, I have a Thai bank account & the 800,000 baht, my main concern was returning to Thailand on another tourist visa after only being out of the country for a few months, then I will convert it into a non 0 visa once there.

Cheers

Hi everyone,

I was in Thailand for just under 4 months, 2 month tourist visa, extend for one month then went to Malaysia & returned on visa exempt left 3 weeks later, i normally stay in the u.k for 7-8 months before returning, i am planning on returning to apply for an O.A (retirement  visa) in the next few months, applying for another tourist visa, was wondering if you have to stay out for a certain amount of time before returning? I was thinking of applying for the O.A visa in the u.K & then converting it in Thailand,  but thought it would be easier & cheaper to just apply in Thailand, any suggestions would be helpful.....

Cheers

The elephants can go back to the owners in Surin, Swissie apparently only owns one, the rest are leased, so it's fraud calling it a sanctuary and charges adults 2,500bt and kids 1,900bt. Proper pair of scumbags, him and his wife.

So the elephants are leased? A bit like leasing a car or a motorbike? These Elephants are highly intelligent creatures unlike some human beings, so the lady has been mis-treated, abused etc, she has a voice & a following, but what about the elephants? I don't see everyone out in force about them.......

The Swiss man gave his side of the story in an interview with a Swiss news publication.

I had to watch the video twice to see if you could actually see him kicking the lady & also to hear it, to me it sounded like a slap or being hit on bare skin with a flip flop, didn't sound like a kick, but what ever he did he's in serious trouble......

A million baht a month or 100k? Someone have to make up their mind soon, and do some fact  checking 

Don't worry too much, give it a few days & it will three times that amount.....

He rents a villa for a million baht a month & loses his <deleted> for someone sitting on some steps, that's nothing, I rent a place for 3000 baht a month & get people helping themselves to lemongrass,chillie & anythingelse they can get there hands on, they also come over with there cocks & make them fight, I've yet to catch anyone on my steps, but if I did It wouldn't bother me in the slightest.........

 He is being charged with Mind & bodily harm .

She’s gonna get compensated for the 

psychological damage these events have  created,( Stress) between the kick and the Swiss wife’s verbal abuse , if found 

in the Dr favor,the damage  should be substantial me thinks.

From looking at the photo of her back, I personally can't see any visible marks or bruising, it's the verbal abuse that may of done the most harm.....

Or as they do in the UK "Sorry, your honour, I was on drugs at the time and didn't know what I was doing!" 

I would think that he was drunk or on something, but theres no excuse for his actions......

Yep. A few idiots on here who refuse to blame him saying they don't see a kick in the video. But (as you said) you clearly hear it and he also doesn't deny kicking here although he says it is because he tripped.

I'll have to watch it again & turn the volume up, while we're on the subject of idiots, making a video of himself kicking a woman sitting down, what was he going to do with it? Put it on TikTok? Nope he used it to incriminate himself, he said that he accidentally slipped & all the lady wanted was an apology, this is not much to ask & I'm surprised by this, i for one would not be asking for an apology from someone who had kicked me in the back while sitting down.

After watching the video, I couldn't actually see him kicking the lady & I would of thought it might of left a mark of some sort on the back of her white top, if he had slipped like he said & it was an accident, then surely he should of apologised, as it's now got the attention of the media.......

Did they ever find the raft?

Well it should float so possible.....

Well at least there on the road & not on the path & wearing helmets, i nearly got run over coming out of a shop in the u.k by some kid on an electric scooter!

Old news.....

Good to hear you are off grid, how many years will it take to get your money back from the solar installation?

Yeh I've heard this too.....😁

What is missing in this story? No mention of the third party driver who is at fault for causing these injuries. Surely the insurance of the guilty party driving on the wrong side of the road should be paying all the hospital bills. Or was the third party not insured? No mention if the third party driver was Thai or foreign, not that it really makes a difference, but could give a clue regarding their insurance status. Compulsory insurance is required for all motor vehicles. What coverage is being claimed from the other driver and their insurance. If Australia (or any wetsern country) a claim against the other driver would be made in cases such as this. 

 

Agree to all of the above, you would of thought so, but nope, the guilty party walks away Scott free!

I always fly into Malaysia & get a minibus back to krabi (no visa) after my (2 month tourist visa & extend) expires, always get pulled up at the border on my return asking where I'm staying, why do I stay so long & ask when I'm going back home & asked to see proof of funds (bank statement) etc always have a return flight ticket booked too, I'll be doing this again next month & I'm expecting the same questions, obviously you have been been here a lot longer, so just make sure you have all the answers to there questions & yes it is much wiser to do a land border than flying back in.....

P.s I have also been stopped even with a valid visa from Penang........

They'd make a lovely couple, nice to see a happy ending with cuddles, is that one of those menthol sticks that he's sticking up the guys nose or is he administing smelling salts as he may of been overwhelmed by getting his phone back?

Thank you to all of you that gave positive feedback.

 

I'm very sick at the moment, I find it really strange that members are commenting with spite, malicious and bitterness.

 

Seems so many people are miserable.

 

I'm not whining, just looking for answers on a medical forum.

 

 

Ignore all the negativity, I would say you may have Dengue Fever, it can be serious if left untreated, I got very sick just before Xmas, dizzy, headache, muscle aches, no energy, paid 500 baht & tested positive for Dengue, was hospitalized for two days, took another 2 weeks to get better.......

P s I was like you, rest for a few days & I'll be o.k, I got worse.........

I've had a fever for a few days.

 

My whole body aches.

Not hungry.

Always tired . 

Short of breath

 

Will this go away or do I need mediation, antibiotics or similar?

 

Over the years my body would take care of it naturally and I'd be fine in a couple of days

 

Go & get tested for Dengue Asap, shortness of breath doesn't sound good especially if have Dengue, if you have decent health insurance then go straight to your nearest hospital......

be careful... maybe she get defamation charges by Russian police and airport employers...That would be the case in Thailand, but stupid.. Valuable things should be in your hand luggage and not in check in luggage...

I was thinking exactly the same....
