Retirement extension insurance?
That is interesting. So I can put 800,000 into my Thai bank account. Get a non immigrant visa based on retirement outside of Thailand showing my bank book. Arrive in Thailand, get a 12 month extension. Then take out the 800,000 and invest it. Use an agent for all further extensions at 14,000 per year with no need to keep the funds in a low % interest Thai bank account. If I am reading it correctly. -

As an Expat: How do you feel about dying in Thailand? Will you be happy about it?
It's not so much the dying, it's the disposal that concerns me. My MIL died several years ago and (as is the Chinese practice) she was cremated. We waited at the crematorium for the remains. I was expecting an urn. Instead the worker handed my girl a tin can - a small bucket - with the ashes inside, including a recogniseable chunk of skull. She burst into floods of tears. I was kicking myself for not having brought a decent urn along with me. I was disgusted at the callousness of it. In Georgetown, Penang, just across the road from the beautiful historic E&O Hotel, there is an old British Colonial graveyard. It's a fascinating place to walk around, I highly recommend it if you ever visit the island. The inscriptions on the headstones and tombs are so intriguing. The names often match street names in the old town. Some carry short stories of the lives and deaths of the interred. Most of the graves are in bad condition, falling over, broken, and overgrown. It's a shame to see such history neglected. It's a sad and forlorn sight. How dare the British community and Churches - or even the State - allows such a precious monument to rot like that. But worse still is the state of the locals graveyards, both muslim and Chinese. They are all little more than waste ground, often with industrial buildings pressing up on the perimeters. No dignity, no peace, no respect. It might not matter to you when you're dead - but it might matter a lot to your loved ones that you are interred in an abandoned <deleted>hole. Think of them you selfish bastards. -

Thai Military Service for my Dual National son.(Not living in Thailand)
This makes sense,, but other than an "auto reply" stating we will be in touch in 3 to 5 working days, I have not received any response from Thai Embassy London. I sent a follow up mail 10 days later. Just another "auto reply" so far -
