mess 4 - much appreciated, that's the way to go for me..............

mess 5 - i'll have a pint of what ever you're on..........

mess 2 -

"combined income" - i do have a small income from a private pension (circa 20,000 b / month), so are you saying that with this income (and verification from my consulate), there is no need to season the money ??

I'm currently on a retirement visa that's renewable on 21st April 2013....

Unfortunately due to a glitch, my 800,000 b wasn't deposited until 1st Feb 2013, so won't be "seasoned" until 1st of May (i'm assuming its done on "months" not "days")......

so i'm 10 days short - any ideas what i can do ??

i did think of doing a border run on 20th April and coming back in on a 15day visa on arrival, then on 2nd May applying for retirement visa, but wasn't sure if a visa on arrival could be changed to retirement visa ?

my pal reccons that if i leave on say 5th april, my retirement visa would be voided - come back in on a 15 day and apply for a "new" retirement visa, where the money has to be seasoned for 2 months ?

another pal reccons to do nothing until 1st may and pay 10 days "overstay" @ 5,000 b and renew my retirement visa........

or maybe go to immigration on say the 18th April and see if someone will overlook the 10 days shortfall ?

Any ideas which is the best way forward ??

i have two identcal, 4th floor, adjoining 44m2 studios for sale......

both in thai company name - will sell both for 3.5m, including all the costs of putting the Thai company into the new owner's name - ie nothing more to pay.

at the moment they are let until the end of may - tenants paying 16,000 b and 15,00 b a month....so instant return on investment !

a doorway can easily be knocked through to make an 88m2 1 bed. or maybe the purchaser would want to live in 1 studio and get some rental income from the other ?

after 3.5 years living here and having experienced the not that good, the pretty darn bad and the positively ugly - A new place has opened that shines out like a shaft of gold when all around is dark:

The place - Cheap Charlie's, Soi Lenkee

i had chicken tika masala with garlic nan, which as i recall cost 280b - the quality of which is on a par with the decent quality indian restaurants i frequented when i lived in the UK....

The owner used to have an Indian restaurant in Birmingham (UK)....

looking for decent lap top cooling fan in pattaya...

any ideas of specific models ??

Was in Mityion in South Pattaya yesterday looking at the 2013 model CBR250R....

Nice colour schemes (red/white/ blue, bright red and black) - was quited 120,000 b for abs model - they gave the impression that they no longer do a non ABS model - anyone know if this is the case ?

They also had a tricked up one in Moriwaki racing colours with sports exhaust for 150,000 b.....
