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.

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?
