Talking as an old man with a stunningly beautiful, incredibly smart, amazingly talented and much younger wife of almost twenty years, I love it when a younger farang moves to the moobahn with his 'fresh squeeze', and shares his plans for the future with all of us older 'been there, done that' sort of chaps. We get fantastic insights into the expectations of the younger generation and what they perceive as important in a dynamically changing world. However, when it comes to marriage and family, it's notable that their desires and expectations aren't too much different from what ours were over 40 years ago. They just move faster. And neither of us cares about what they think nor what they gossip about. As my maternal granny used to say, "If they're not talking about you, they'll be talking about someone else." Why do you assume so much about anonymous people on an internet forum that you will never meet?

As I was saying... "Palestine Action has attempted to thwart the Government’s terror ban by creating a secret website to recruit activists for further direct action, The Telegraph can reveal. The protest group said it would continue its activity “regardless of the name it falls under”, as it directed potential recruits to a vetting form for a “new collective” set up an hour before Palestine Action was officially designated a terrorist organisation. .." https://www.telegraph.co.uk/news/2025/07/06/palestine-action-recruiting-members-protests-despite-ban-uk/

So these were ignored? What are you talking about?

Reapplying for Retirement Extension (Non-O) Visa

Thanks for the confirmation and also thanks for catching my typo. I managed to correct my post before the clock expired. -
Reapplying for Retirement Extension (Non-O) Visa
NanLaew replied to Nomad1's topic in Thai Visas, Residency, and Work Permits
Is there an option to enter on the 60-day visa-exempt stamp, convert that to a Non-O at local immigration and subsequently to a retirement extension? Note I am only asking if is an option (if available) and not suggesting that it's a better option than the eVisa route you suggest. -
No it doesn't. Many airlines offer passengers the choice to briefly disembark, or stay onboard. Since AA is a low-cost carrier, it's unlikely that any passengers will be allowed to stretch their legs inside the terminal on a short refueling stopover. I can't say I enjoyed ANY of my transits through both of Moscow's airports.

Good to know. What's the transit experience at Mumbai? It looks like T1 and T2 aren't interconnected inside the airport, a bit like KUL when AirAsia were across the tarmac in the old cargo terminal, before they built KLIA2 and somewhat better interconnectivity. Also, looks like maybe there's a mix of international/domestic at both terminals at Mumbai, depending on the carrier? Maybe not a stressless transit experience just yet.

IndiGo just commenced their 3-times weekly non-stops Mumbai - Manchester. Using a 787-9 Dreamliner, just like Norse Air will be using on their weekly Manchester - Bangkok non-stop starting in November. Now, if only the Indian authorities would dispense with their nonsense procedure for getting an e-Visa, and make transiting a nicer experience, they could open up an alternative South Asian hub.

SPOILER - JD Vance will win in 2028 and 2032
NanLaew replied to angryguy's topic in Political Soapbox
Musk influenced the vote by giving the incumbent a huge wedge. Musk's bank account is big enough to sink anything the incumbent can come with now, and the afterbirth. Remember his hasty words after their break-up? The ones that were equally hastily retracted? As much as I dislike the man, I reckon he's keeping his powder dry. -

And of course Richard Nixon's awesome personality saw him both win and lose. -
Bank Account and proof of Visa status
NanLaew replied to redwhiteandblue's topic in Thai Visas, Residency, and Work Permits
Most Banks require signing in first...... To get a queue ticket at the branch when visiting personally? Except for TTB and Kasikorn, most other banks do not. -
Similar? YesterDAY? No farang? No moto cycle taxi guys? No punches? Similar? Really?

Things that surprise you in Thailand
NanLaew replied to Harrisfan's topic in ASEAN NOW Community Pub
I just took a quick gander at your forum offerings. Good grief, what a fine obsession you have there! Awesome even. @DezLez seriously needs to up their game.
