Strange if your extension reads Thai wife, then it isn't an extension it should be a new visa extension as Non-O related to marriage to a Thai wife.  If the extension is Non B then it is related to work and is subject to being employed with a work permit. It sounds like they have made a serious error in your passport that you should get cleared up by them. Non O marriage. and isn't affected should you work or stop work.

Coming to Thailand from nearly any country in the world doesn't require a visa application, you would be given 60 days on arrival plus I believe that could now be 90 days, an extension can be got at an immigration office or a short road trip across into Laos, etc. will get you a new entry also.

Look at the state of her passport, when travelling, this is one of the most important items you carry, mine is in passport cover inside a ziplock bag. and stays put away and I carry a small homemade version photocopied with the passport page on one side and visa stamp on the other side, laminated so it's like an ID card. It works well for ID purposes and should an official require to see the real thing, then its not a problem to bring it out. but, that never happened. Her passport looks like it has been on every beach, bar, and bed with her.

So, growing is legal, but buds and flowers are illegal, so growers can produce but, must remove those parts of the plant that are illegal, hmm, how is that going to work? so, the law will use this as a whitewash, let's hope people and sellers understand that allowing people to smoke or use outside and be potheads in public will not be permitted, and if the potheads had done that in the first place, this law would not have come about. Still, if they read between the lines it is just a cover to rein in the idiots, as it is wrong to walk around necking beer in certain areas. The police ain't gonna be kicking your door in unless you are being foolish, and turning your den into a full-on pot den, those some will!

There is a company in Pattaya making and selling Aussie pies, at the expensive price of 150 baht and up, and there's a company making British-style pies at 75 baht and up. The only difference between Heinz baked beans and Ayam baked beans (English recipe)is that Heinz only uses one sized bean and the other uses all the beans and is cheaper and tastes the same. SO! shop around there are some great deals around.

That is strange, I always go to the local police station, and they will give me a confirmation letter of my address with my name and passport number. They never ask for money, but we always take some cake. Once a year when I have my extension done,(not at the local office) I then visit the 90-day officer at my local immigration, to reconfirm my address with the police letter although I have never been asked for it, after that 90 days are always done online. Renewal of driving permit etc, always used yellow book or ID Thai pink ID card.

Simple, Just go into immigration and have the first one done by the officer, after that, you good to go every 90 days online. simple and painless.

Thais have to have special haircuts called the wind sept look, it seems to be very fashionable with young Thai men that fly down the road on their micro-thin wheels and unbaffled 2 stokes with no crash helmet

I understand that all place passenger services have to display the fare to the required destinations, again it is down to the police and airport authorities to make sure the law is followed, oh! sorry did I say the police...' my bag!'  Oh, foolish of me to think that should/might happen. even through it works at DM and swampy in BKK 

It is not just older diesel trucks, but, modified trucks with bigger bore exhausts etc., as they forget to retune the fuel system so on acceleration they throw way too much-unused fuel into the system, easy to spot from the soot stains on the rear, low profile tyres and lowered suspension. but, asking the highway police to do anything is unlucky as they have their eyes on the prize truckers going about the normal business.

It seems next week is a big day at the courthouse. If he walks and the same for the PM, the MP should also walk seeing as the PT are suggesting something very similar to what they were proposing. IF MP gets taken out and the rest walk, The country will get very angry.

Two good reasons for the delays, one is the company is saving money by employing the lowest number of workers it can get away with, and secondly not working 24 hours to finish the job, if they lose the contract who is going to finish it? Just look at the photo how many workers can you see? I see only 2!

Best to blame the airlines for high prices along with hotel prices and then high charges for food, goods and other services. they work on the fact that fewer tourists come so, charge them more for the shortfall, instead of the tourist returning home and telling others of the good value they go home and tell others about the costs and poor service they get for their money.

It would be an expense but, they could fit wire cable across the balcony placed every 6 inches which would stop accidents, and still allow sunbathing on the balcony. But relate that to the number of accidents etc., it is unlikely. same as certain car models in the past. It is cheaper to pay out than the cost of prevention. The best answer is to mandate it in law for future buildings and refits.

Maybe not 3rd party insurance, but, they will cover the cost, But the airline is a large famous company, and I am sure will take care of its customers and will not start penny-pinching, unlike US companies who would rather find fault in its passengers, by stating that passengers should be strapped into their seats unless that can prove the seat belt light was on, before the drop.

He was shot down in flames, the airline will cover all hospital charges with their 3rd party insurance, his ploy was to start a fund-me scheme, and got stopped before he could get the newspaper to write it up. Now, wait for others to try a get-rich scheme and want to sue the airline. The lawyers are in the traps waiting to be released. The airline is just waiting to block that for sure. 

Former Thai Prime Minister Thaksin Shinawatra should write, Convicted and paroled ex-prime minister which is a fair and true statement. It reminds people as to his past.

During WW2, they were going to move to Phetchabun, but the war ended. They didn't come nor has the railway and the airport has no flights, so, perhaps they will have to become the next Amsterdam

You don't have to go stone age to live upcountry, I have lived in Phetchabun for 20 years. and we have all modern equipment, a perfect medium-sized single level 3 bed house, access to decent lotus, Big C and Makro, etc., all within a 15-minute drive. No railway, No flights airport. and the only way to get here is by bus or car. We live in a housing estate, not in the village mainly the reason is being built in the village you will never be able to sell should you want to leave and falling out with people in the village will make things difficult. Never live with or near her family, put at least 25 kilometres between you and them plus don't try and go native, it isn't what your woman wanted that's why she left in the first place, even if she says she is now happy because you are with her. When times go slow or you have to reduce money outgoings, it will become harder for you and any kids. Going anywhere else in Thailand makes it an adventure and a reason for a holiday. But, life is good, the people are good, and all legal paperwork needs are easy, if you listen, read, and ask.

If you are that worried do COD, and when the delivery arrives the driver will give you a QR code to scan, which shows the price to pay, the same as when you buy petrol. No big problem stop you from using your card and the details being used by naughty people. I carry no more than 500baht and pay using QR nowadays for everything including massage!

Any decent agency would never ask for all the money upfront, a deposit and progress reports paying as required or 50% down rest on competition. won't do that move on to another that will and if required show proof of past dealings.
