Do visa agents actually fix problems or can they make things worse?
I believe that once you use an agent, then the 90 day reporting has to go via the immigration office that the visa was obtained from. I had the same 'problem' in that I 'obtained' a retirement visa via an agent in Pattaya but was living in Korat. 90 days had to be done via Pattaya. I once tried to do it in person in Korat and it raised so many questions from immigration officials that steered clear from them from there on in.

Many moons ago a rental place in Chiang Mai tried to take my passport.... I said you can have a photocopy but no more. I ended up going to another place close by, cheaper and better bike. It pays to shop around

New visas for retirees... Also to be known as a lifetime visa, except after you have one we will change the definition of lifetime to mean 13 months from date of application. After which time a new visa will be dreamt up which will endeavour to empty any remaining funds from your bank account.

That too is quite a possibility. Can cause certain muscles to clamp up when taken by surprise.

Sattahip Students Praised for Aiding Injured Foreigner in Bike-Car Crash
That's one kick asse rear tyre on that bike. Ducati Diavel maybe. Just proves, you can be a safe rider but some drivers either don't see you or don't give a stuff. Hopefully the rider has proper licence so the authorities don't use that to prosecute him... although if he wasn't in the country etc etc. Hospital costs are likely to be huge, maybe the driver will be held responsible. Not holding my breath on that occurring.

Best cookware -
Robinson and a few other places have Meyer sets that have saucepans/lids and frying pan. All in stainless steel. The particular model I had for years was the Meyer Classico. Can be used on induction cookers/stoves Good thick base not like some of this thin tinny <deleted>e that burns everything even if you put a candle under it. Good to buy when Robinsons have a sale

How do these people get thru immigration? They are seen as tourist dollars, that's how. The almighty buck/dollar/baht rules supreme in Thailand.

Gary Larson (cartoonist) had quite the conundrum with this cartoon. There are no penguins in the Artic nor Polar Bears in Antarctica. Still it's funny....
