One last question. if I do the retirement visa and then get married I then have to change it?

Sorry if my questions make me sound a bit stupid. You must admit it is a bit different here. Must take the good with the bad, and so far the good is winning by a mile.

Ok, thanks.

I want to get the suckling pig. i had it in Pattaya years ago and never forgot it. Best pork I had ever tasted.

Which one do you do first?

Thanks. if I learn 20 words a day it won’t take long.

Ok The girlfriend said we have the wedding at her house, but I will tell her for the visa we will do it at the district office. Is it expensive? Do they do catering etc?

Oh, men and women speak a different language? That will make it a bit tricky.

Thanks again for your help. Tour of Nam appeals more than returning to the poo hole.

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.
