Best Friend Visa does retirement extensions for a fee of 4K (in addition to the regular Immigration fee of 1900B). I have used them for years. They are very good and reliable

I also recommend Khun Song. I have been using his building services for more than 15 years. Pete Pad Thai: I have sent a PM to you with his phone number

The restaurant is actually called Food 4 Thought, with the numeral in place of the word "for". There are two locations, the original, which is near the Phucome junction, and the new one which is on Bumrungrat Rd. Neither is in the Santhitham Circle area. The original is shown correctly on Google Maps. The new location does not appear to be on Google Maps, so might have closed. I have never eaten at the new location. I have eaten many times over the years (including recently) at the original. I recommend it. Quite a large menu with well prepared and generously sized soups, salads, sandwiches, wraps etc. Excellent breakfast dishes. They have vegan food if desired. Prices are very reasonable. The menu is available on the internet if you look at it on Google.

Dr. Pawak at Kitcha Dental has done a number for me. I originally went to him, several years ago, after my previous dentist, at Ram, had told me that an implant in a particular location was impossible because of the small amount of bone left. He explained clearly how it could be done successfully. The implant has lasted well with no problems. He has since done others for me. Prices are higher than elsewhere, but I have trust in him, which is important

You are right about this. Just the possibility of this happening will discourage wealthy expats and hence damage the economy

Even if they manage to draft a workable law, there is a huge difference between drafting a law and getting it past parliament. I am sure there are many in parliament who would be affected by the law and would not be at all keen on passing it...

I have eaten at many restaurants in Chiang Mai, including many times over the years at Coq d'Or and Somm. Both are worthwhile. However, my hands down winner, for food, atmosphere and service is L'Elephant. Great place. Ikigai, near Meechok Plaza, is worth trying for their quirky, inventive cuisine

I have a condo in Nakornping. It is a good building, conveniently situated. The facilities (lifts, which are quite new, pool etc.) all work very well

i really don't understand the point of your post. We don't even know what restaurant you are talking about. I hope you tried it, in view of the generous offer from the owner not to charge you if you did not like the food

Very useful discussion. Particular thanks to TallGuy and Sheryl for their most helpful information

I agree about Vision Centre. Reasonably priced, speedy, professional service. My long time ophthalmologist at Ram Hospital, whom I have been seeing for annual check ups for 17 years, recommended Vision Centre as the best place to get glasses.

He finally got the visa yesterday. I probably would not have started it if I had realised how tedious the process would be. I found an agent who handled it without it being necessary to go to Bangkok. If anyone else is looking for an agent for an Egyptian visa, then I can recommend Visatogo. They have offices in various cities in Thailand.

I don't understand how this was possible, but would really like to know. Thank you for your reply to my PM, but from what you said it appears your wife got an evisa online, which even the web site you referenced says is not possible for Thai citizens. I think it would be very helpful for others going to Egypt if you could explain the details of how you did this supposedly impossible feat by posting here, so others could follow your helpful example

Thank you. I have sent you a PM

Thais are required to get a visa in advance, and it cannot be done via the internet. I don't fancy trying to go to Egypt on the chance I can bribe someone in the immigration queue, even if the airline would allow you on the plane without a visa
