The dowry is not expensive. However, if the wife is 47 years old with a few grandchildren, then she should not be asking for dowry anymore.

Did the two kiwis overreact to a private summons ?

I see a lot of Russians and Chinese working as property agents in Pattaya. When I asked for their business card, it shows they are employed as "marketing analyst". So they analyze the property market and collect an agent's commission ? When is Joke going to round them up ?

Spelling and nationality.

In the past there was an option to delete the submission. The new format does not seem to allow this. I searched for the submission, found it and not able to delete it. I needed to delete it because of some mistakes. Does anyone know how to delete the old one and submit a new form online ?

It's not a Thai child, so there is no issue of sole custody granted by Thai Court.

Yes, you are absolutely spot on. It feels so strange that the parent has no business to be in Thailand for a long term, but is able to piggyback on a child's education visa.

The child is not a Thai.

Is it possible for a parent who has no job connections whatsoever with Thailand to obtain a Guardian Visa just to stay long-term in Thailand by sending the child to an international school in Thailand ? I have always thought the child's visa is sponsored by the parent, so that the parent must at least have some legal reason to remain in Thailand, and then the international school will accept the child to study in the school and give her an Education Visa. Is the opposite way possible ?

Face is the most important thing in Thailand, whether one is rich or poor. Defamation means one suffered loss of face.

Has anyone been able to identify the Condo ?

Should have gone to Petcharavej Hospital at the end of New Petchaburi Road connecting Pattanakarn Road. It's 5.7 km according to Google map, and it's a straight road. At 2 am in the morning, there is no traffic jam.

The Thai lawyers that I have come across are the same. After collecting full fees (even before a bullet is fired), they will coax you to settle the case, even if you are in a winning position. And very often, the terms on which your own lawyers want you to agree are favorable to the other party.

I thought doing a wai on national TV would resolve the matter.

I understand if the guest returns from a visa run, having crossed the border and left Thailand, then a new TM30 will have to be submitted. But what about the guest obtaining a 30-day extension after paying 1,900 baht at the Immigration Office ? Must a new TM30 be submitted ? For example, on the 1st TM30 informed that the guest would stay for 60 days. However, the guest merely had a visa exemption stamp for 30 days. So is it necessary then to submit a 2nd TM30 after another 30-day extension is obtained?
