Samut Prakan Immigration: you'd better stay in Bangkok
I have a DTV now and never deal with the immigration office. I'm fortunate that I live near the border, so I go and have lunch in Vientiane instead.

Thai Woman Marries Two Austrians in One Ceremony
It is not a legal wedding but just a temple blessing. Legal weddings can only take place at an Amphur. She was previously married with children, and they paid an enormous sin sod. What a pair of idiots. It says the men are close friends.....mmmmmmm how close? 😁 This could be more than a ménage à trois

In praise of a good Thai wife
I'm only 6 months into a new relationship, so I'm only just getting to grips with her cooking and eating all the time. I don't eat breakfast either (worst meal of the day), and she struggles to understand that, but she is the most loving and caring woman I've ever been with. We are together 24/7 and genuinely don't like to be apart. She told me when we first met that it is easy to find a good-looking girlfriend in Thailand, but much harder to find a good woman. She's a hairdresser, so I don't need to pay for a haircut now. Me 70, her 47 years old

Visa Rules Getting Stricter? Lease + Bank Transfers Now Asked
Why don't you look at getting a DTV? It lasts for 5 years with minimal dealings with immigration (one 90-day report every visit, assuming you stay 90 days), and you get to stay for 6 months each visit. You don't need to keep any money in Thailand.

Do TV Soundbars Help Hard of Hearing?
Yes, but the headphones must be of good quality. Most modern TVs have Bluetooth capability, so you don't need a long cable. I connect mine to my Fire TV Stick (it supports Dolby Atmos), and I find this method very useful when travelling, plus I can't hear my GF snoring. 🤣 My Samsung soundbar does have a setting for amplifying the dialogue, but I didn't find that it helped much.
