40k Thai baht a month if you don't want to deposit 400k.
Immigration don't demand one spends that. It's a figure they believe sustainable.
This thread is "cost of living". Not "fixed outgoings".
Not sure which organisation you are running with but I guess it's a small one with small events.
The Buriram marathon is big. It has many foreign competitors. I don't think it's ever been won by a Thai.
Prizes paid out according to performance, not nationality.
Immigration ask for proof of 40k a month for a married man to get an extension.
That's a figure that is easily doable.
Your figure doesn't include food or going out.
I agree.
However, if the OP has never been married to the child's mother, there could be issues.
If not married, being on the birth certificate, will not be enough, in the eyes of some officials.
They all don't. That's not a secret.
Maybe some that you've met do. Isaan ladies that know your wife will, possibly, wish they could live like her.
Someone not, allegedly, spending 3mil a year is not "Farang kee nok".
3mil a year is not " a decent western life". It's extravagant.
I would guess a very very large %% of westerners in western countries don't spend that much.
Why do you think an Isaan lady would wish to live like that?
In an ideal world you would, of course, be correct.
However, we all know different immigration offices ask for different documents and consulates add requirements.
The OP has mentioned he' not married to the mother of his child. That will complicate matters.
If immigration accept your documents, yes, you'll get a 60 day extension.
Can't help you about Savannakhet visa for having Thai child other than the fact you hand in documents before midday and collect 2pm next day.
Oh dear. I appear to have touched a nerve.
I was referring the the FACT you bang on about how we are all the same, then bangbin about how different someone is because of their upbringing.
All the same but scum of the world.
Who screwed his best mate's wife?
Thailand does no kill people with RTAs. The people kill themselves.
A fully functioning police force would have little effect. You can't police everyone, everywhere, all of the time.
Thais need to realise the idea of safety on the roads. Not just law.
