Lucky I prefer older women, a fetish I developed as a teenager. I saw some very attractive ones working in the open-faced bars last night, but the wife was with me so I couldn't tell them so. I might add, that at 75 my older women preference doesn't mean older than me, it's more like older than young hotties. The wife is 49 which is plenty young enough for me.

Why go back to pick up passport the next day?....

 

The last few years had to do that at Jomtien too. Previous several years you collected it after lunch the same day if you visited in the morning.

VE or TV entries are designed for Tourists.

If your staying in Thailand throughout the year using these methods, then your not a Tourist by definition.

There are other options available for those who wish to stay permanently in Thailand.

 

It's just a warning to have plan B in place.

Many reports on the forum of foreigners being denied entry or TV's because they are adjudged to be spending to much time in Thailand under the pretence of being a tourist.

Not wishing to split hairs, but I thought that every farang in Thailand was a tourist. There can't be many who've been granted citizenship. When I fill in my extension form I always put "holiday" in the reason for extension. When you think of it, when you're on a one year approval that's all it can be.

Am I the only one thinking a country like India should  have priories like clean drinking water and  proper sanitation before tackling landing on the moon. 

I would've thought that the billions in aid sent from the UK would've sorted their water problem. Hesitate to think that it went towards this failed space flight.

Went to pick up a couple of kor ror 2 from the amphur Sattahip this morning.  So I thought I'd give a quick rundown. It was my first visit to Sattahip for about five years and there was a lot more vehicle traffic around the area, not helped by the many road alterations going on. On arriving at the amphur office we were surprised at how busy it was compared to our last visit. which was to get married ten years ago. The information desk sent us to a chap sat at a desk beside theirs, who told us it was the wrong desk and sent us back to information. Good start. My wife explained again what we needed and they gave us a ticket. We waited about 30 mins until our number was announced. The wife showed them her ID card and they quickly produced our two documents and pointed us to the desk of the head honcho in the corner, for which there was a big queue, but the desk  was unmanned. After about 15 mins the geezer appeared and we finally got his signature. The boss man then sent us back to the desk which we'd just come from for a stamp I think. By then I'd lost the will to live and gone to sit outside to wait. Wife went back there and got the final stamp. Could have been worse I suppose, but not the doddle I'd been led to believe it was going to be. The whole excercise house to house took about 2 hours. The good thing was that it only cost 20 baht for both certs. The bad thing is that I'm going to do my first marriage extension using the 400k in the bank method at Jomtien next Wednesday. Just the bank letter and passbook update to do on the day. I'll let you know how it goes.

Joy!

Good! Hope he burns in hell.

Philippines is my back-up because I would be paid my full index-linked pension, on which the index-linking stopped when I decided to live here. It also has a lower cost of living and their currency isn't as strong as the baht, hence better exchange rate. It's only a very loose plan because I have a Thai wife and stepdaughter here and I intend to cling on as long as possible. I do think though that one day in the not too distant future, the Thai authorities will make it impossible for me to remain.

Food for thought there. Thanks for taking the time to post.

I bet no one asked if it is Big C that wants the number, or if PEA asked them to ask for it. Just the ordinay complaining. If it´s not TM30, then it´s the phone number in Big C.
 

The Daily VDO rext messages are something you get for you, your wife or your kids registered or downloaded something from Internet, sometimes Youtube and it´s Google that gives them the info, or Facebook. Probably registered the phone number somewhere and maybe even saved it for easy fill in forms in computer too.

 

If you want to take it that way, up to you.

You must give me the number of your rose-coloured specs provider.

And whats the problem. Just give them what they need and pay the bill. Why must everybody make a hay stack out of a straw. Beginning to believe that most of the population gone haywire.

Because it's none of their festering business. By using their shop to pay bills I normally buy a few things whilst I'm in their, which I assume is why they offer the bill-paying service. Snooping isn't part of the deal.

So why keep doing it?

Providing it stays peaceful I agree with you. Problem with the left is that it very rarely does.

When I built my place I was told 1 metre from the boundary wall providing there were no windows on that side, otherwise 2 metres. Going by that I should think that their platform should  be no closer than 2 metres for privacy reasons. Of course in this place money talks so you can't really say that any rule is hard and fast.

Seems to me that the big problem has gone now from not being able to get the embassy letter for your extension based on monthly income to not being able to prove that your transfers came from abroad. It appears that you either have to make a swift transfer which is expensive over the 12 months, or rely on TransferWise and hope that all the transfers are made direct to Bangkok Bank and don't come via TMB or Kasikorn. My plans were ruined by my July transfer going via Kasikorn, luckily I had a contingency plan in place by having 400k in the bank so I could reluctantly opt for a married extension. It wouldn't take much on the part of TI to show a little latitude in the case of one or two transfers not coming direct to BBL and accepting a printout of the TransferWise dispatch notice. But there again, less people would be forced into the hands of the agents in that case. It's all about money in the long run.

Those rose coloured specs of yours are still making you a pain in the backside of this forum. The reasons most people remain is that they can afford to, have property they can't sell, or they have Thai wife and kids. Now take your pointless post and go annoy someone else.
