Novice wants to increase disk space on C drive
thjames007 replied to giddyup's topic in IT and Computers
And you thought someone would say. "Just right click on the c drive icon and select make bigger" . 😁. if you not sure what you doing or worried, buy an external hard drive. It's as easy as plug and play... Then drop some of the old files from C drive there. Spend a day cleaning up old files. You have a place to store old files (in case PC crashes) Videos and photos and docs. While cleaning up and freeing up your C drive. -
Moving a family to Pattaya from Bangkok thoughts?
thjames007 replied to DonniePeverley's topic in Pattaya
Once you find the right location to live you will wonder why you didn't come sooner. Don't worry about the sex trade or night life in your face. I see more "ladies" near my condo in BKK then I do in Pattaya. You can find a nice quiet location within 10 mins of the main city, I'm in jomtien and love it, small village setting with a villa, 10 min walk to beach. Small Restaurants and bars around. There are many other areas also, you just need to look around and decide what's important for you and family. I guess if you have kids you will need to think about schools and locations closer to that. Maybe not the same amount of family activities available in Pattaya but you learn to adapt to a quieter lifestyle. And find things to do. And outside of Central Pattaya the prices are about half what things cost in BKK which is a plus. Beer 65/75. Lunch 70/100. Dinner 150. Rent depends on location. But it's going to be much cheaper than bkk. -

thjames007 replied to Cornish Pasty's topic in ASEAN NOW Community Pub
We know you not leaving tomorrow but nice to be dramatic. Since u not been here in 17yrs.did u think Pattaya just close and wait for you to come back? Things, Society and you change over time. Whatever nationality will come and spend money that's the end of story. I bet you look different too! -

Report Thailand Tightens Grip on Retirement Visas Amid Wealth Shift
thjames007 replied to snoop1130's topic in Thailand News
You are right. Bang on!! Sorry to burst the bubble, but Thailand doesn't need pensioners on the min state pension and zero cash. Using agents to cheat their way into Thailand. (the 800k in a bank is a joke amount, if you don't have that you shouldn't have retired in the first place! And moving to a foreign country with no benefits or medical coverage OMG.. You would think this is common sense 101) If you dont have the min required don't come here. Sure Vietnam Cambodia philipeans will take you on the cheap, good for them. Can't wait for the posts to be filled with I'm. Move there, and they never do!!!! And regarding the story, what a load of click Bait dripple. Im on LTR now, I had DTV and Non O before. And they are ALL so easy to get, what's the authors point? Rather than say " oh now there are other options available, not just Non O and OA..." they make it sound like they phasing them out which is BS. Just to wind up expats. (FYI. You don't need 80k income. That's just one of many different thresholds) Can't wait for next week's recycled story about expats requiring a medical plan, as they should!- 270 replies

Finance Foreign Nationals Face Account Bans in Bangkok Bank Crackdown
thjames007 replied to webfact's topic in Thailand News
What other country have you been too where a tourist is able to open and then hold a bank account, and without proper ID. (and not because they don't like you!) Yes you have to leave Thailand now given they are enforcing the laws. Or should I say common sense. -
Report British Man Nabbed Smuggling Cannabis from Bangkok to Newcastle
thjames007 replied to snoop1130's topic in Thailand News
Thailand getting a bad rep? (read headline again). I think most of us intelligent people are thinking what an idiot for smuggeling this <deleted>! You can't blame Thailand for someone being stupid and greedy! If guilty don't you think he should sit in jail? Or just blame thailand for making it legal and not asking him at the departure lounge if he stuffed his suitcase with weed. -

Good suggestions Id also present a letter by you as the spouse saying you financially support her during trip. BUT most important give supporting evidence that she is going to return to Thailand. While having property is one, it's not a strong one, A job in Thailand is a good one or family in Thailand (another albeit on the weak side) Another word of caution. VFS is brutal to deal with! They have no problem rejecting applications for any reason. And since they answer to no one they don't care (they are not the UK government they are just an agent). So make sure everything is don't 100% correct. They don't care if you leaving in June. They only care about themselves!!! Overall. Tourists visa for. Spouse is not that hard or difficult. And usually approved. Just make sure application is filled out in full and correctly. Good luck

She claims! After the fact and we don't believe her. We go by what she actually said, which is fact. Doesn't matter where she from... She was disrespectful. To blame someone else for filming her is crazy! -
