If only other 'Statesmen' had such wisdom...

And when Trump starts talking about Hannibal Lector again , Kamala better get worried like the rest of us ! LOL.

Absolutely hilarious coming from an obvious supporter of the only losing President to urge his supporters to ignore the election results and to storm the Capitol ! Fortunately most of the public does not possess the memory of a goldfish . Or do you think everybody watches Fox ? How many died at Trumps behest at this penultimate attack on Democracy again ?

Wish she hadnt come across a lull. Phuket is having the busiest Low Ive seen in 16 years and its mainly Middle Eastern , cashed up visitors. And lots of groups of Indian men who dont seem as poor as before either . Its not quiet , its busier than ever before for this time of year , but way quieter than January !

The photo depicts the beach as I visited it years ago and Ive no idea why anyone would consider beaches in that entire area worth visiting. Total rubbish beaches pretty much all of Prachuap KK...

Sure should have ! Ive acquaintances who rent bikes and it seems by far the most non returns and damage left unpaid for is by young American boys. One even traded his rental to Motocye taxi men for drugs ! Whatever , most of them have an , "Im the customer so Im always right" attitude... real PITA s.

Same same for me and a buddy 1 year back , but they only demanded 2000 baht each. Wouldnt take US or Riel for some reason...

Russians have opened a Motorbike Rental Shop just down the road from Kamala Or Bor Tors office near the Muslim 7/11 in Phuket. They work in there without Thai assistance , bold as brass. I thought the rules must have changed ...

Theres about 6 of us who play bowls in Kamala , Phuket , thinking of coming up to HH for a couple of days . I tried the number but it says its no longer active. Im wondering about opening times and days , whether theres a roll up comp day etc. If somebody could reply with the HH Bowls email and latest phone number it would be appreciated !

Well I dont anymore , thanks to good advice here. But my 'agent' here in Hkt , who previously extended my Retirement Extensions ( O-A ) 2 years running and couldn't this year ( He said theres a new 'boss' that resembles Big Joke ) suggested that I try to get 90 days 'O' in PP , then he would do the years O-A for 10k baht as he felt bad that he couldnt achieve what was promised ...

Top advise and my main area of concern and thanks !

Darn close on yr Thai Visa Centre estimates ! They said , in part - " We will make you a Retirement Visa. We need a Thai Bank Saving book in your name , balance immaterial. Procedure for Australian arriving on 45 day Visa Exempt- 1st , 3 month non Imm "O" : 20,000 baht ( we require 20 days min on VExempt to start and take 3 to 4 weeks ) Addit : This is what I was hoping to 'buy ' thru an agent in P.P. till I was put straight.... 2nd , 1 year Retirement Visa ( Non Imm "O" ) , this takes 1 to 2 weeks . 16,000 baht. Total , 36,000 baht for 15 months of Visa , and you are "O" , and no longer , "O-A". ( Happy to flick the O-A as it gets more punitive every year , and it was purported to be the best visa back in 2008 when the 'O' demanded you left LOS every 3 months... . Ive been told why the O-A has declined in status and the O has risen , if somebody wants me to relate what a Officer told me ... ) Anyway , TVC asked for some odd stuff also , like a 5 sec vid of me standing in front of my home , address on my wall /letter box , and a Google location map , and of course Im wondering why they need all that <deleted> when it appears they can do anything they please. Thanks again guys ! But Im not arguing . The most important thing for me that I learnt from you and TVC is not to fret about the overstay , and for that I thank you all. And , Jesus that R.H pop up is so annoying , and I had forgotten thats why I stopped posting on here ! 555

Thanks Mike for your help . Im based in Phuket and still on my original O-A ( issued in Sydney ) of 15 years. Well , WAS , its now expired , and tickets to PPenh for tomorrow already bought. This will be my first overstay ( 3 days ) , and I will try to re-enter by flight to Bkk on 30 day Visa Exempt , which , I believe is now 45 days. ( BTW , How annoying is that pop up on the right here while you type ! )

Thanks Mike . Do you think it will matter Im on 3 day overstay now to get the 30 day Visa Exempt ?

Cheers. Do you mean I must have 800k in a Thai bank when you say , "The Funds" ? Im in a quandry because my usual agent couldnt renew my O-A this year and told me its because of the O-A and that "O" was way easier and I should go to P. P. and get a 90 day Non Imm O and return. Im on 3 days overstay . Im worried about leaving and things becoming even more difficult. A very popular agent in Bkk says they can renew my O-A at 25k baht...
