As it's been stated before, all IOs have different requirements and even on different days. The IO I used (Chiang Mai) wanted more than what you have listed. Having done the 'marriage' route 7 times and the 'retirement' route 7 times I will firmly stand behind my belief from my experience: The overall process of getting an extension based on retirement is much easier than doing so based on marriage!

What do you expect, Thailand's roads are not constructed for proper drainage.

A pic I took while living in China years ago. This was at a Pizza Hut where it cost an 'x' amount to take one trip to the salad bar. This girl was proud of her heaping salad she built. She made a well of watermelon pieces and then filled it with many other salad items. Afterwards I watched her carefully take it over to her table with 3 friends, request 4 plates, and then evenly divvied it amongst the 4 of them.

Don't forget all the extra paperwork required for the 'marriage' visa as well as needing double copies!

Bing.....LOL "And yes, you can get viruses and malware if you go onto those kind of sites." .....but yet you had to ask, too funny! Not all antiviruses catch everything. And just like everything in life, some are better than others. I don't need porn, I get enough of the real thing!

I did the 'marriage' route for 7 years and never had a single home visit. Marriage involves much more.... I think you might recall our previous back-n-forth banter on the subject. 'Retirement' is by far easier!!!!

Ahhhhhh, good ole DOS. I used DOS before any Windows was available. Along with my Hayes 9600 baud modem I could connect to many different Bulletin Boards (the days before the great WWW).

Let me explain a great website that has tons of useful information and it's easy as well as free to access. Using it will perhaps help minimize asking dumb questions on public forms. It's called: GOOGLE https://www.google.com/search?q=Do+porn+sites+make+your+PC+slow&sxsrf=APwXEdfeEAxRJYm82zdFrOCnCJrbbNEJyg%3A1683887671713&source=hp&ei=NxZeZJP6KOm02roPoICaqA8&iflsig=AOEireoAAAAAZF4kR170u2zQcAUfdzgorUD526vCUhHj&ved=0ahUKEwjT8Yu0yu_-AhVpmlYBHSCABvUQ4dUDCAk&uact=5&oq=Do+porn+sites+make+your+PC+slow&gs_lcp=Cgdnd3Mtd2l6EAM6BwgjEIoFECc6BAgjECc6DggAEIoFELEDEIMBEJECOggIABCKBRCRAjoLCAAQgAQQsQMQgwE6CwgAEIoFELEDEIMBOg0IABCKBRCxAxCDARBDOgcIABCKBRBDOggILhCKBRCRAjoOCC4QigUQxwEQ0QMQkQI6BQgAEIAEOggILhCABBDUAjoHCAAQgAQQClAAWKY-YKNCaABwAHgAgAHkAogB9iaSAQgyLjIyLjYuMZgBAKABAQ&sclient=gws-wiz

I changed from 'marriage' to 'retirement' at the CM IO back in 2016 and my wife wasn't present but I was informed that she needed to have the phone available if the officer was wanting to speak with her. He didn't call her.

Stay away from the porn sites and your PC might not run so slow.

Why do you think intersections will help? Folks will ignore the lights or stop signs like they do at current intersections. One particular intersection here in Isaan I frequent often always has vehicles continuing through the light after it has turned red. It doesn't seem to bother anyone even though there is usually a patrolman sitting in the little police shanty daily.

"If you are really skint then there are chaps in Ban-Mo who re-wind the motors sitting by the side of the road!" Reminds me of my days working for Ampex where there were rooms full of women operators who sat all day looking under a microscope and winding nyleze wires around the ferrite video heads. Yes, it was a woman's job as men didn't have the patience for the repetitive and tedious work.

I do believe New Zealand has some..... "We had NZ picanha steak"

He will surely be missed, but not forgotten. One of the best members on his site who was always helping others. RIP Joe.

Yeah, I should be on television.

I'm thinking everyone is different as well as everyone has their own standards and opinions. Sort of like dealing with certain Immigration offices and officers. My experience with the FBU Manila representative who contacted me was very good. She was NICE, knowledgeable, and very understanding. As for the process and being able to contact the FBU, that's a totally different opinion.

Exactly!!!

Yes, the affidavit was done once for $50 but had to provide 2 copies of it each following year.....Besides, we never registered the marriage here in Thailand. Wife had to accompany me each time.....

Good advice!

I wasn't asking for a quote. I was merely trying to get an idea of what others may have recently paid. Thanks for the link, much appreciated.

....or rice field workers in Isaan

Thanks for the replies but worthless, in my opinion. First of all I believe I definitely stated 'government' hospital so why are some replies telling me to seek prices at private hospitals..... Hmmmm I have queried two different government hospitals and have yet to hear anything back, thus the reason I made this post. Also just to get a general idea of what others have recently paid as we all know things can be very different. I guess making this post is yet another example of time wasted (so far).

Which would be ok? Really?

Looking for some recent costs anyone has incurred with getting a CT coronary angiogram at a government hospital, particularly in the Isaan area (Surin). .......but any recent pricing throughout Thailand at a government hospital is appreciated.

"If I had been driving just a bit faster, the windshield might have shattered, potentially injuring someone in the car." ....and if you would have been going a bit slower maybe nothing would have hit your car at all.
