Doctor: "Your wife's in hospital." Me: "How is she?" Doctor: "I'm afraid she's critical." Me: "Ah, you get used to that..."

I've just read that taking your bike to work everyday is good for the environment, so I thought why not - it's not like I'm using the roof rack for anything else.

I just got a new car with so many electronic settings that I can't be bothered with. There is one good one though; it says rear wash wipe That'll be handy if I get caught short in a Bangkok traffic jam.

I'm feeling a bit gutted... Honestly thought I'd win the giant butterfly competition... I told everyone I would win... Me and my big moth...

Yet you do the same thing in your previous post:

Oh. I thought that Caroline's fishless tuna was some sort of euphemism.

Deleted. Not going to sink to the level of the troll.

Hanging on in quiet desperation.

Yes, but most of that is just semantics. For the purpose of this thread: You do not need to exit the country to get a new visa when going from a work permit to retirement extension. You also do not need to change your visa in Thailand. You cancel your work permit and associated extension of stay, and apply for a retirement extension before the date you are given to leave the country. You will not get a new visa stamp in your passport, you will get a new extension.

Judging by the way Ukraine's going for them, Putin would be well advised to keep the bumbling fools he's already got. They couldn't organise a coup in a pigeon show.

If possible, could you post a scan of the Non-O visa they placed in your passport when they changed it? Unless they did so, you are still here on an extension of your original Non-B visa.
