    I don't think Thai embassies allow visits for visas in the U.S.; everything is done online and passports are mailed. The easiest option (in my opinion) is to arrive visa exempt and convert to a 3 month Non O and then after 2 months extend for one year. Easy to do yourself no agent necessary.

    Be aware that if converting from a visa exempt or tourist visa to a Non O within Thailand, many immigration offices (including Chaeng Wattana) do not accept monthly transfers; they require THB 800,000 in a Thai bank. For an extension, they will accept THB 65,000 monthly for 12 months or THB 800,000 in a Thai bank.

    I will give your friend a pass, but I would say a 50 year old dating an 18 year old is not a stable relationship in most situations.

    Nope. It was a rant

    Surely you could rent a replacement wheelchair that would offer you some mobility.

    Many Thais still applaud upon landing.

    And what about the criminals in the yellow shirt camp ?

    I think an important factor is police don't try to manage and control crime; instead, they profit from it through bribes and participation. Not all but many.

    One fact is certain. The current ruling party is the antithesis of democracy. Time for a change after 8 years of endemic corruption and stagnant government.

    If memory serves me well, Nancy Reagan - the first lady of the U.S. consulted fortunetellers.

    Western union has a terrible exchange rate making it expensive to transfer funds

    Not just Pattaya...corruption is rife throughout Thailand

    Chiang Mai doesn't need to import Bangkok pollution; the fires prroduce deadly smog just fine and locally made.

    Check with your Thai Immigration Office. Some offices require the FET be dated within 7 days of applying for your extension.

    Not sure about Surat Thani but Chaeng Wattana only accepts THB 800,000 in a Thai bank account for the initial Non O issuance. They accept monthly transfers for the extension, not sure about combination method.
