thats just ridiculous.

the bloke has posted a very reasonable point of view, but there is always some smart alec trying to be funny.

I agree with him, the pollution is terrible.  Its even awful in Hua Hin, close to the sea, the index was worse than CM over the recent days.

I just returned from my home in Spain, and I have to say, the air quality is miles better than here, and apart from utilities and rental prices, pretty much cheaper than here.

May I ask why you moved from Spain to Thailand, if the air, weather and cost of living is favorable?  I've noticed a few others flee to Portugal from here, and considered it myself.

 

ps. nothing wrong with the air quality in Phuket or anywhere in the south. Rent comparable to Chiang mai, and a plate of chicken curry can still be had for 40baht.

This sort of thing is not infrequently posted but I've yet to find evidence of any agent that will do a retirement extension for that price, perhaps you could expand on that claim?

Depends where you live. In Pattaya its 13k if you already have a Bangkok Bank account or 14k to help ease the process to open one.

Agree that air pollution in most of Thailand spoils the fun.  We have a small 2.5 pollution sensor.  When we see above 25 reading—we head for the coast.  Will not be trapped by burning season.

Any link to what ans where to get a proper pollution sensor?

Still not figured out what the 800,000 ina Thai bank is all about and ive been in Thailand 14 years.

I cant figure out your comment. How do you manage to live here for 14 years if you dont use money in the bank or income method?

I believe he is talking about the reasoning behind having 800K in the bank.

Which one charges that?

What is her source of that misinformation?  Expats who meet the well-publicised requirements have no issues.  The monthly transfer is not a "dead end".

I believe cannot mention the name. However on Soi Buakhao. Look for a travel company with the name of a neighbouring country.

Just walk down Soi Buakhao and knock on a few doors. I'm not going to advertise them on Thai visa.

Why wouldn't you do that for a forum member?  I'm not in Pattaya.

Nothing in the rules preventing you from mentioning name.

Don't get me wrong , and I don't condone the users, but all this moaning when you can get an agent to do it for 13 or 14 k a year

I didn't think anyone would be able to put their money where their mouth was!

No, but then my comment wasn't addressed to you.

At least 2 people have but you won't accept it because they've urinated on your bonfire.

If you don't live in Chonburi you can't extend your visa in Pattaya.

Yes, you can, that's one of the services agents can provide!
