Cheddar cheese and yellow mustard.........A heady combination.

I asked the officer at my local Amphur, how long the KR2 is valid for. He said, 1 month from day of issue. However, each individual Immigration officer will apply their own rules. My wife gets a new one every year just before my extension is due.

Jodd Fair. There are a couple around Bangkok. The one I went to was near BTS station 'Pahonyothin 24' I think. The original market is at Rama 9. Definitely worth a Google. It's more of a food fair with clothes shops and small bars.

I bought a BMax B4 on Lazada around 4 months ago. Original Windows 11 pro, 6600 baht. I've had no issues with it. I spent time wandering around Zeer Rangsit, IT mall, but couldn't find anyone selling mini PC's.

He's 73 and plans to retire in a few months time. Money is not a problem for him, but he's concerned that he wouldn't get health insurance cover at his age. As I said before, he's got good health insurance with AXA, in the UK. So it seems to me that his best option would be to get them to extend cover to Thailand. I'm not sure about the Thai bank account.

I would guess that he'll probably want to do 90 days and 30+ days UK. In your opinion, is that an acceptable split?

Thanks to both of you for your advice. I'll pass it on to my friend. It sounds to me that he might find the 90 day retirement visa more useful as he intends going back to the UK for a short stay, every few months. Would there be any problem with him doing this? I know immigration frowns upon 'Back to Back' visas.

Three questions. 1. When applying for Non Imm 'O' Retirement visa, in the UK. Do you need to prove health insurance cover? 2. Does the cover need to be with a Thai insurance company? Or is it okay to use a large UK company (AXA) 3. Are either, accident or health insurance acceptable?

Just because you never heard of it doesn't mean it doesn't happen. My wife's son dabbled with Yaa Baa when he was 16. By the time he was 20 he was diagnosed as being Paranoid Schizophrenic,as a direct consequence of drug use. He's now 26 and can look forward to a life of daily, strong medication. He's unable to function as a normal human being, even with his meds. Taking Yaa Baa was devastating for both him, and his mother.

I use the same puff pastry, with the green lable. It's available in Makro. I make my own sausage meat. 250 gms Pork mince. 1/2 cup breadcrumbs. 1 tsp Italian mixed herbs. Salt & Pepper. Mix together and let it sit for an hour. I use a golf ball size piece of sausage meat for each sausage roll. Also, sometimes I cut the roll in half, if I'm sharing with others. You can also add 1 shredded apple and 1 shredded onion to the mix. That works really well.

I'm sure I read somewhere that the price of a ticket on the Green Line must not exceed 62 baht. If that's the case, the line between Mor Chit and Ku Khot shouldn't be more than 15 baht. Still excellent value for money I reckon.

Tanks KhunLA.......very useful. The corkage charge looks okay, so I might take my own.

I know this sounds like a stupid question but, can anyone tell me if Tawangdaeng Rama 3, sells whiskey. If so, a rough idea of price per bottle. I've looked at their website but it looks like they only sell beer. I can't find any prices for spirits.

My wife is Thai. We've been married and living in Thailand for the past 18 years. My stepdaughter had a baby when she was very young. The father did a runner and has not been seen since the birth of his daughter (My granddaughter). My wife and I have taken care of our granddaughter, from just after her birth until now (She's 10). I would like to know how difficult it would be for me to adopt my granddaughter, and what, if any, are the advantages of adoption for her. I have a good, steady job with a major Thai company, WP, Non imm 'O' visa, and yellow tabien baan. Any comments would be appreciated.

Yes. I think I would pay the fine and get up-to-date asap, before applying for an extension

Not a good option at CW. They have started to refuse Non Imm 'O' extensions if you don't have a record of 90 day reports. This has happened to a friend of mine recently. He always laughed at me doing 90 day reports, boasting that he hadn't done a report for many years, and if he gets caught he'll just pay the 2000baht fine. He's now been caught. his extension has been refused, and he got the 2000baht fine. Guess who's laughing now. ????

I did mine at CW a couple of months ago. Only 1 copy of each document was needed. But, as you know, It depends on the officer and her mood at the time. Good Luck.

I've just registered online. Let's see what happens ????

No need to use an agent. I can just send Mrs JYY. She's much cheaper 555 Thanks for all the advice everyone. I've decided to give the online option a try, so Mrs JYY is first reserve.

Online looks to be too hit and miss at the moment. I think Mrs JYY will just have to out up with another visit to CW...........I'm worth it 555

My 90 day report is due soon. I usually ask my wife to go to Chaeng Watanna to do it, but she's not exactly keen on the idea. I live at Don Mueang and work in Pathum Thani. Is it possible for me to get my 90 day report done at the IO at Pathom Thani? My Non Imm 'O' visa is issued at CW. I know it could be done online but the system seems a bit inconsistant.

If you're up around soi Cowboy call in to Country Road, or Oasis Bar, just down the soi, on the opposite side. Neither are 'Girly Bars' but good for music and a beer.

A KR 2 is only valid for 1 month from date of issue, according to Don Muang amphur. CW immigration have always asked to see one.
