Staying one month need help to accelerate visa process pattaya
So you have a Non O visa, based on marriage. Then yes immigration would make you obtain the first extension to be based on marriage. Pity as you have the funds in place for extension based on retirement. Suggest you contact an agent after arrival or now using their contact options. In previous post I included link to post from Tod Daniels. Lists contact details for Pattaya agents. You could start with Maneerat. -

Report PM Pledges B157bn Tourism Boost Amid Budget Debate Wrangles
Picture courtesy of National News Bureau of Thailand Prime Minister Paetongtarn Shinawatra has pledged a hefty 157 billion baht to rejuvenate Thailand's tourism sector. In a key meeting on Friday, Shinawatra highlighted her commitment to enhancing visitor safety and convenience, alongside broader initiatives aimed at bolstering the nation's tourist appeal. This significant cash injection aims to integrate development across five crucial areas: public relations, safety, ease of travel, infrastructure enhancement, and event organisation to spur both short- and long-term growth. During the meeting, Shinawatra underscored the necessity of seamless cooperation among various stakeholders to drive these initiatives forward effectively. Her plan represents a concerted effort to ignite one of Thailand's most vital economic drivers, especially as the country seeks to regain its international tourism stronghold post-pandemic. However, the tourism funding announcement comes as the government's fiscal strategies face scrutiny from opposition MPs in ongoing budget debates. People's Party MP Pukkamon Nunarnan has expressed vocal opposition to the allocation of 26.5 billion baht in provincial budgets. Nunarnan contends that current spending plans disproportionately favour major urban centres, perpetuating a development gap between bustling cities like Bangkok and more rural regions. The MP cited a World Bank report indicating that around 70% of government expenditure occurs in Bangkok, creating disparities in provincial development. Nunarnan criticised the focus on infrastructure projects such as roads and bridges, arguing that these do not address the fundamental need for investment in education and quality of life improvements. Her stance suggests that effective budgetary strategy should target development needs over political interests. As the nation navigates these conflicting priorities, the implications are clear. While there's a strong push for tourism revitalisation, the debate over fair resource distribution highlights the hurdles facing Thailand's broader economic and social landscape.

Community Teacher Beats 7-Year-Old with Metal Ruler, Says “Let Her Die” , Mother Files Police Report
When my son went to pre school teachers used wooden rulers and hit kids over the knuckles, my son got hit rarely because the teacher loved him. However this is bad from teachers and if you complain your kid won't pass exams and be made to stay back late and clean the classroom, he's at a private school now and it's still going on, some parents pay, I will say no more than it's very bad. Principles know what is going on.
