Perhaps. i was wondering about getting a Thai citizenship. They get 30 baht hospital care and I wouldn’t need a visa.

Can’t be that hard. Three year olds can speak it. i have always wanted to learn a foreign language Cop Coon Car

Yes, which is why I wrote in to this forum. Got to start somewhere. Thanks everyone for your time to help me.

Yes Thankyou for your help. can I easily get one in Vietnam? I don’t understand the last sentence.

Thankyou. easy to remember that one. Mia=wife

It has got worse the last ten years. I don’t care if I never go back ever. Which is why I sold up and moved here. If there is a better country to live I would be open to it if I could take my girlfriend.

That is why I thought a Educational visa might be a good one. They teach you Thai and give you a visa. I was speaking to a guy yesterday who has been here over 15 years and never bothered to learn Thai. It will make life a lot easier for me I think. I really like Thai people.

If they do it everyday is that not a routine? And it sounds better than a hospital cleaning routine. Sounds like you might be a bit jealous and lonely.

I like to be prepared in advance

Good idea.

Good idea. The agent thing sounds easier.

Yeah, good idea. i have travel insurance now, I will ask them.

What is that called?

Girlfriend says her mother will ask the monk at the temple which is the best time to get married. I don’t really care. It was only important to do it quickly if I needed the marriage visa. But sure will use retirement now. Not yet, but I will before it runs out.

Thankyou. I was not planning on going there until after I get the retirement visa. But maybe do it all after the Vietnam trip if I can not open an account in Phuket. The system seems a bit messy to be honest. Chicken before the egg. But obviously possible as thousands of people are doing it.

Sounds like a bit of a hassle. Thankyou for the link. I came on a holiday visa? 30 days which someone said I can get a 30 extension if I go to the immigration office. i don’t really want to return to the UK. I was thinking of takingmy girlfriend to Vietnam for a holiday when that expires and get another one. I heard it is nice there.

I heard that if married in Thailand that the money gets split up 50/50? a lot better than western countries.

No offense taken, than you very much for your help. That is why am asking here. Don’t I need a bank account first to get the visa to get the certificate of residence? I am in Phuket but will live in the countryside where my wife is from soon. we will go up there after I get the retirement visa.

Ok. thanks very much for the tip. i will go to Central. they have a lot of banks there. lots of good food also.

ok thanks. Can I use the girlfriend’s address in a different province to open in Phuket? Proof is what exactly? Adress on my girlfriends ID card ok?

No I will do it tomorrow.

It might have been your breath?

Thanks. I will open an account tomorrow. Take my passport. What do you think is the best bank? Are they all the same?

My girlfriend Sid thai men don’t like giving oral. Something about Buddhism and the head being sacred and lowering it to a vagina is wrong. Butif a girl does it to a man it is ok. anyone else heard that?
