Switching from Non-B to Marriage or Retirement Visa?
If you get the Non-O from a Visa-Exempt or Tourist entry in Thailand, then you get the 90-day visa at immigration first, (2 visits for this, with an "under consideration" period between them), then you return again to apply for the 1 year extension. If they let you simply change the reason for your permitted stay from work (Non-B) to marriage or retirement (Non-O), then it's just one "step." Whether they will do this (like they always did before) is not clear, and may depend on the office. If they do not let you make this change in-country, then you will need to leave/return with a border-run. In that case, I would personally just get the 90-day Non-O in Laos, vs doing that step in Thailand - but you could do it either way. Note that no funds are required for a 90-day Non-O based on marriage at Vientiane or Savannakhet - but, the 1-year Multiple-Entry version at Savannakhet does require showing 400K in a Thai bank for 2 months. That ME-Visa gives you 90-day permitted-stay per-entry for the year, requiring border-bounces. You may also extend your permitted stay on any new entry to Thailand by 60-days "to visit your wife" - regardless of whether a TR, VE, or Non-O entry. In theory, you could do this from the cancellation date on your Non-B permitted-stay - but, I would ask this after you complete canceling your Non-B stay. Your wife must attend immigration to get that 60-days. Canceling the visa-extension first would not make a problem at Immigration. Canceling the Work-Permit first COULD create a problem with immigration, as your Non-B permitted-stay would become "Invalid" when the WP was canceled. You could be charged "overstay" for every day after the work-permit cancellation that you remained in Thailand on a Non-B permitted-stay. -

Young Man Drowns in Canal After Deciding to Swim During Fishing Trip
There's a couple things here that are quite remarkable, and I will try to say that without sounding totally unsympathetic. First of all it takes about 10 minutes to learn how to swim, at least to learn how to swim adequately. I've taught people how to swim so I know it's a fairly simple process. So obviously this guy did not know how to swim because it's not difficult to get back from the middle of the canal to the shore, unless there's a raging tide happening. The second thing that comes to mind is if you know that you don't know how to swim and you know that you can barely stay afloat why do you deliberately wade out into water that's fairly deep? What on earth was he thinking, or was he thinking at all? -

President Kamala Harris
🚨 KAMALA’S TAX PLAN: ATLAS SHRUGGED IN REAL LIFE? In “Atlas Shrugged,” society’s brightest minds—the entrepreneurs, inventors, and visionaries—are pushed to the brink by policies that punish success. Kamala’s proposal to tax unrealized gains brings that dystopia to life, threatening Silicon Valley with crushing taxes on paper wealth that doesn’t yet exist. Sebastian Thrun, founder of Udacity, is a real-life Atlas Shrugged character in this scenario. When Udacity reached unicorn status, Thrun’s wealth looked massive on paper, but in reality, there was no cash to pay taxes on those hypothetical gains. This policy could’ve forced him into impossible decisions: pay taxes on unrealized income or risk jail—for building something valuable for society. Taxing theoretical wealth risks turning innovators into criminals, making ambition a liability. Are we headed toward an economy where those who create the most are punished the hardest? -

Urgent: Pharmacies that sell HIV PrEP in Bangkok (Sukhumvit area)
You are misinterpreting the data. The REALITY is that the actual results are MUCH lower the general population. Prep s is still of benefit for public health, but not a substitute for condom use. No one in the public health profession will ever say that condoms are not necessary for your type of sexual activity. https://www.thelancet.com/journals/lanpub/article/PIIS2468-2667(22)00106-2/fulltext PrEP effectiveness was 60% (95% CI 46 to 71) overall, reaching 93% (84 to 97) for a high amount of PrEP consumption, and 86% (78 to 92) if excluding periods after PrEP discontinuation. PrEP effectiveness was significantly reduced in people younger than 30 years (26% [–21 to 54]) and in those who were socioeconomically deprived (–64% [–392 to 45]), both of which groups showed low amounts of PrEP consumption and high rates of PrEP discontinuation. A home HIV test kit is not a substitute for a proper blood test. The reason why the diagnosis of negative infection must be confirmed is that the medication is dangerous and ineffective in already infected people. In respect to your condition of being unable to achieve an erection while using a condom, take it as a warning sign. You most likely have a circulatory condition. Smoking and obesity are contributing factors. Suggest you have a proper physical exam including blood tests to measure triglycerides, cholesterol, and others. High cholesterol level goes hand in hand with erectile dysfunction. best of luck. -

Urgent Request for Information re Death of British Citizen in Thailand
I live on Koh Samui. This lawyer cannot help. You need a local one. The embassy can provide details of suggested lawyers. I did it all by email. You do not need to go to the embassy unless you want to. As I said, they were very helpful and quick. My problem was the hospital on a money grab, They hung on to the the body as long as possible. I had to call in a couple of 'influential' people to get them to release the body. This is on Samui. Where your friend died may b more foreigner friendly. Good luck. Stressful times -

Urgent Request for Information re Death of British Citizen in Thailand
I'm an incurable optimist. Granted there's a great deal of effort involved but I fully expect calm seas. If the father's assets are all in Thailand and therefore this case would be resolved according to Thai law then it appears that the fraudster friend and nephew have zero standing upon which to make claims. And certainly not without either of them having to retain lawyers in order to contest the daughter's claim. Personally I doubt they would attempt to go to those lengths if the father's assets are not great enough to offset their risks, costs and efforts. That's simply my educated assessment given the entirety of the facts that are available to me. The nephew would have to be willing to travel as well. Economically speaking, I doubt he would have much to gain. Excellent advi ce. Thank you. Asking him first might prove to be the easiest solution. If he has no legal right to possess them and they are otherwise valueless to him then he may simply willingly give them up to avoid a hassle for paltry items which gain him next to nothing. It usually comes down to simple economics. If he refuses to relinquish them then certainly we'll be straight on our way to the police station. Not as yet. It's only been a few days since the father's passing, everyone involved was new to me, and I knew not whom to trust initially. Call it the fog of war. I had to do a lot of listening to many unknown facts given by many people before I could put even the slightest picture together. But I fully intend to ask for the return of the items in his possession. I do know that he wasted no time in attempting to clear the father's apartment of it's contents and bring them to his house. He attempted this yesterday but failed as the building owner required legal documentation which he did not possess. I've had a great deal of contact with him over the last two days and he exhibits all the telltales of a con artist. Everything from the constant repetition of everything to gain my trust, his incessant claims that he wants nothing out of this and is only acting on the requests made to him by the father to the swiftness by which he attempts to gain control over the entirety of his friend's estate. I am loathe to accuse someone of being nefarious without strong confirmation but given the evidences thus far it appears unmistakable. I've experience with too many people in my life who lust for money. I agree with you wholeheartedly. He is most definitely trying to work with me and he has let me know in no uncertain terms how he would manage the estate. No one gets anything without his approval. He repeated ad nauseum the fact that we are not to expect much at all as the father's estate was paltry. The repetition was a tell as it was obvious that he was attempting to condition our expectation. When asked what the father's assets amounted to he would say that it's no one's business as the money is intended only for the daughter and nephew. If that's not a red flag I don't know what is. Yes, it's a race now to safeguard the assets. An ATM allows a maximum 50,000 baht withdrawal per day and he does not have the proper documents to withdraw directly from the bank. He has the bank books so we are unable to know the balances. Though we've frozen the main account today we need to present more documentation to the bank to access the account information to view any withdrawals made in the last few days. And if he has made unauthorized withdrawals then I will hold him to account.
