.most answers on this thread are not worth reading  and less heeding.

seems to me where I live in Korat but also having lived in Bkk  and Hua Hin

a young married professional couple will be lucky to make 50,000 baht per month, from that  pay a mortgage and two car payments  but they think they are hi so.

go figure the Thai mentality I cannot.

Your right very selfish. The excuses you use better food/better hospitals i would disagree there. Nearer to Bangkok is not a plus but a negative.

I have little doubt seperation will come very soon. Uprooting her from her well paid job whos going to look after your rugrat?. All so you can swim in the sea. Yes selfish.

Such utter nonsense and negativity, sounds like you are a very bitter person. Is this a reflection on your own life.?

That's just plain stupid. The Hospital in Korat only wanting organs. I bet there's not many of them that  can play the damn things.

Really a witty reply .

I brought a twenty foot container, all my diy tools expensive furniture the only people ripped me off was the receiving agent, fees like a thousand baht to clean the container, customs no problem.

later I shipped four cardboard boxes taped to a pallet,  my books am a big reader, customs made me pay a thousand baht no receipt in Bangkok klon toey pirt, the fork lift driver wanted two hundred baht to take the pallet to my truck, I said ok then told him  to F off. And drove away.

It's called the usual thirty percent cut.

Not sure at my age if my organs would be fit for transplant.

Not sure I see the connection between your question and religion?

Do not want a bunch of monks coming to my house (ex mine ) moaning and chanting for money , in my eyes they are just a bunch of scrounges , I think even worse of some other major religions but am sure if I gave my true thoughts the mods would not print it. 

However I will say if this is your belief good luck to you on any religion, by the way I am not a vegetarian too  , and no doubt many of you will not like that too, especially Eric bahrt the idiot Bangkok post , postbag editor favorite.

such is the man I am, by the way am 74  years young.

living in Korat and when I die wish to donate my body to some hospital for students to work on , have tried the government hospital here but they only want organs , they told me contact Khon Kaen, however they only want Thai bodies. I have no use for any religion simply think rather than just burn by body it could do some good for teaching in the medical profession , can anyone help.

I have a wife but what does that good does that do? How could she help if I was totally disabled?

she has no access to my accounts.Even the money in my Thai bank would be unaccessble if I could not get down to an ATM. 

faraday no treatment will be done but thanks any ways.

 ulysses how do I arrange to get money transferred from a hospital bed while incapacitated?

 tomwct AE in Bangkok is useless they cannot even cash the cheques.

  Sorry for being so negative to everyone trying to help,

  I made a trip back to Canada last year to creat some way to send money. The banker said use western union. Hows that for a good response.

  All day I was dealing with ending it.I have other health problems too. I catheter because my bladder completely quit.so am pretty well house captive as it is I have pain constantly in the bladder area that the doctors say should not be there so nothing can be done to help me I just live with severe pain all the time.Who wants to be this vulnerable late in life.In a split second I could be in a bed for the rest of my life and have no access to funds to maintain me.

 The bottom line on trusting someone to have access to my money  is really testing the boundaries of trust. 

 I talked to a friend last night and explained that if I wait to end it I may not be able to end it because of a stroke that makes it impossible to do anything. So if I want to make sure it is done I have to stop gambling on how long I have before a major stroke happens.and do it soon.

To answer your question, I have health problems too. One trip to hospital they wanted 25000 up front as a deposit, lucky for me I had my ATM card fo Bangkok bank with me and sent my long live together gf to withdraw the money. After this experience I put 200,000 into a special account with a separate atm card to be used in medical emergency only by my gf, I cancelled my regulate ATM card as there is so much fraud going on here. So far it has worked great, should I die she can also withdraw this money immediately to live on as in my will I leave everything to her however probate can take up to six months, I should add I look after her twelve year old niece and pay for her private school education, themoney will also cover any emergency there..

of course this advice will not work if you do not have access to sufficient funds however you never mentioned that, just trying to help, wish you well.

I thought many of the proposals by SiamBeast were quite interesting and positive. An additional comments is that Thai Visa stop publishing the inane answers of many of the replys, (most). Many friends of mine have given up on Thai Visa because of the stupid comments published. Has the editor's education ever gone beyond kindergarten??

Amazed that this post passed the censors.

I would deport all Thai males over six years old, and save the lovely ladies for us deserving farang.

Thanks, ubonjoe. I'll do a border run and then get my next visa in the UK. Good to know the immigration officers at the airport won't see an alert when I come back.

Ubonjoe  you constantly amaze me with your knowledge on visa requirements , keep up the good work am sure hundreds of people  hold you in high regard, never had to ask you myself as I have a simple retirement visa. Good job.

How come Thai gold goes rusty.

These are normal and most probably you will need to pay import duties applicable. Thai customs are quite strict and they do random checks of all items incoming regardless or size and value.

They will also shaft you for unexplained charges ashas happnedto me. They are as corrupt as the bib and immigration. Pay the money and forget about it.

This passport replacement is a common procedure - I have done myself several times as have thousands of others and never has any payment been requested if paperwork in order.  Believe some have been asked to pay for copies required if they did not have available but there are normally no issues, other than a request for your Embassy to provide verification of passport perhaps (such as a letter asking for service).

Perhaps you never had it done in Hua Hin, I remonstrated with the guy, he then changed pens to finish his job. Next time I went through swampy I was hauled in as they suspected my passport was a forgery, I explained to them what happened and they agreed  it was probably done deliberately.

Unless you require temp passport for emergency travel you must apply for a new passport at Embassy and will need to make appointment (passports are issued in USA so will take week to 10 days).  It will be valid for when issued for 10 years and once done Embassy will provide a letter that you take to immigration to transfer information of your visa and current stay.

Full information here - you will also need passport photos.

Also be aware immigration use these situations to scammoney very likely they will charge you five hundred baht with no receipt and tell you it's a service fee.
