  1. One thing for sure, most girls in pattaya beach road or the bars are, sloppy seconds! would you eat a nice steak tht someone else has already started to eat???? Lets get real guy, GO NORTH TO ISAN!
  2. Dude, you are one of 1000 farangs that have gone through the same thing. Thai Friendly is not a long relationship meeting pace for "GOOD THAI GIRLS". Go north dude, ISAN girls fresh from the farm are your best long term partners and future wife. They have not been exposed to that lavish lifestyle that Pattaya has to offer. Pattaya is the Now PHUKET of 20 years ago and is BUMMING!
  3. call 1690 they will help you!
  4. Let me chime in please, if you use the Lease Agreement, you not only need to show your actual lease agreement, you also need the Lease owner ID card as well as the Leaseholder to appear as well. Physically!
  5. If I may chime into this conversation, Not sure what country your from, however as I know it, Canada, USA, UK, Germany, France and Spain Embassy's have stopped Endorsing Income Notifications for Thai Immigration. That is as off January 2025! Your requirement to your country embassy, is show them proof of income. (Monthly investment dividents, monthly pension income, salary income if your still working in your country or in Thailand). The embassy only makes a sworn statement to Thai Immigration that your monthly income is the same if not more the the Thai monthly income requirement. (Thb45,000.00 min monthly of Marriage visa; Thb65,000.00 min monthly for retirement visa) If you cannot provide that to IGO, then the Thb400,000.00 in your Thai Bank for 3 month's for marriage visa or Thb800,000.00 deposit for 3 months for retirement visa). at times the IO will request a combination of both Monthly income and 3 month deposit. A word of advise, BBLC has a devised plan to hold you full deposit for and extra month. I have been told the Thb800,000.00 or Thb400,000.00 brings in good interest money to hold this money for you! I also see my regular pension from my home country being deposited eg; January 1 by my home country Pension group, verified deposit to Bangkok Bank, then does not get deposited on the same date 12hour time difference later for at least 6 - 10 days. Excuse, NO DEPOSIT OCCURED ON THAT DAY! I understand local Thai holiday and Saturday and Sunday off days. Thank you for your POOR SERVICE Bangkok Bank LC! SCB much better and reliable.
  6. Yes, that is correct, both husband and wife must attend initial meeting and documentation. After the initial 30 day extension stamp is issued on the same day, you can both leave and either or someone designated in writing can go pick up the passport 30 days on the date pick up up the passport. Done Deal!
  7. Yes! I agree, Especially AA inflight crews! Asia Pacific flights were only for the "OLDER" Ready and Senior flight crew's.... United the same! When the food trays went out I was always watchfull to help hold the tipping side of the food tray in case....... Aditutes as well................
  8. Thai Airways used to fly LAX DIRECT/NONE Stop to BKK! 17.5hrs! 7 full length inflight movie! 4 Full Meals ! then there was the 8 Rum and Cokes for relaxing!
  9. Dude there never was a 12 months statement proof required, 6 months only and make sure it comes out of only one account!
  10. Dude, Da Nang is Pattaya 10 years ago, Phuket 30 years ago. Great place, daily cost of living, 60% cheaper, Air and water much cleaner. Housing much more comfortable and cleaner and newer, as well as CHEAPER. People, locals, are friendly and will not take you for a ride. Go for it! I will sooner than later.
  11. Just a Dumb question, instead of the Thb400,000 for 3 month....If you have pension income, you need minimum Thb45,000.00 deposited every month for 6 consecutive month before applying. Make sure if your pension #1 is less than the required amount and you get 2 pensions a month as I read, make sure both pensions deposit into the same account. Bangkok Bank gave me the one - two that I could not bring in 2 different account proofs. I get 1 Canadian deposit and 1 US deposit and a private Canadian deposit each month and each in 3 different Bangkok Bank accounts. When I went to apply for the visa, I not only showed one statement, but 2 more Bangkok Bank statement all total over Thb152,000! Lucky for me one did show Thb75,500 while each of the other 2 showed less than the Thb45,000.00 required. Just a heads-Up!
  12. Word of advice, your old passport is actually invalid as you have received a new one dispite the fact that your old passport has a validity date of 2026 in it. You should go to imigration and transfer the current 90 day stamp into your new passport, FREE. While your at immigration, do your 90 Day renewal, Free.
  13. nOPE, i DO NOT AGREE TO AUTOMATICALLY THINK THAT. My spouse came from ISSAN, Sis Sak Ket! Farm girl. Educated in University of Bangkok. Raised under strict family rules. Was not allowed to marry anyone unless Family approved. Paid a High Sin Sod for being a virgin. (She Had to be Examined). You can ID bar girls and you can ID country girls.
  14. When I applied at LOCAL THAI health insurance provider, I was told, no waiting period for minimal pre-existing conditions. I developed arthitis in my knee. Started to pain a lot. I called my provider explained the situation , answer " You should have filled in an Pre existing condition when I filled in the application. I asked the initial agent about that "Pre existing Conditions and was informed, DO NOT WORRY, IF IT IS YOUR FIRST TIME CLAIM, IT WILL BE COVERED! BULLOX!
