After 5 years of collage in Udon with all the associated expenses my step daughter went down to Bangkok earlier this year to be presented with her diploma in business management by a member of the royal family. That was the last 10K Baht of completely wasted money. Should have spent it setting her u...

Some of my older (>10 years) stamps say "Application of stay is Permitted" the later stamps are saying "Extension of stay Permitted" Been through 2 passports and have not seen a "Permission to Stay" on the stamp
I'm sure it means the same thing. This is all just pedantics!

@ pf-flyer My Thai wife of 46 years and I arrived by air in Thailand on 12 AUG 2012. Both of us went through immigration at the airport with a U.S. Passport with a Non-immigration O-A visa. Can I ask you if your TW still has a Thai Passport? If so why didn't she enter the Kingdom on that? Obviously,...

Sitting at Swampy airport typing this, having come through immigration without incident about an hour ago. IO got a bit of a panicked look when he saw the AO visa, and spoke to the guy in the adjacent booth. That guy saw my re-entry permit, and told him to stamp me in until late July 2020. Insuranc...

I stream my favorite radio stations (world wide) to my phone and use Blue Tooth to connect to my car radio or home audio system.

Try the "Tune In" app on your phone - works for me. I also use:-

gets me every radio station in Australia.

Where is your beef, lamb and other (meats) price list (and supplier)?

Even easier:- We still get both bills on hand written parchment and pay the girl there on the spot!

Patrick,
When you have sold this property, even at 20% of the asking price, can you contact me, I'll place 3 with you just down the road in Amphur Ban Dung!

You sure there is not a miss print somewhere in this add?

Good post! Let's just wait and see. There is NO point in starting rumors (or spreading gossip) that will just get every ones anxiety level up and start this whole debate over again. As said the idiot IO's down South are a law to their own = scare the Farang into paying more graft? An extension based...

OPTION #1 would work for me right now! The OA visa was issued a >year ago and under the guidelines of that visa is still valid. As you say until mid 2020 be it with continued boarder runs. Get a 3 month O visa then and extend it to Retirement status. Your are not applying for another OA visa through...

Late last week I had a post removed from the "Pair of Balls thread", it may have been sarcastic but no way near derogatorily. What is this garbage (driven by a one eyed, racist, full of ----, American and his cronies) doing in the World News forum. He has his own forum why don't you, the administrat...

Maybe - just maybe, with the financial imposition a large percentage of expats find em selves in these days (x-Rates, new regulations etc.) miss "Dodgy Visa Udon" is finding all the Extension and 90 Day reporting crossing her desk and going all points South with suitably filled brown envelopes!

I'm another who is very happy with their medical service, though to add, also happy the government is "trying" to stop the pharmaceutical rip off which I have been subject too at this hospital!

I know and understand this thread is based on first hand knowledge of the new 800K requirements for "O" Retirement extension but can we add my option? I'm due to extend again shortly:- For the passed 6 extensions (prior to that I was doing 800K thingy until the hoops tangled around my feet) I had be...

. . . If they bothered to keep the drains clean , then i dont think Udon would flood at all. Nailed it. Instead of doing all of that housecleaning maintenance BEFORE rainy season, I saw the backhoes out in full force day before yesterday during a lull in the storms. In the mean time here in the ric...

I wish everyone would stop shopping on line . Then i would not have to navigate around the homicidal monkeys that drive the delivery trucks .!!!! Having them doing the navigating certainly beats the crap out of me having to do the 3hr round trip to Udon, find parking and hoping like hell the vendor...

All very well until you cross the border and come back with a new TM6 card! Resets the sequence = start again. Do a direct report (or mail as I do) 90 days later and maybe - JUST maybe - you might be lucky enough to achieve this remarkable milestone AGAIN. For me = 3 times since it was introduced Ap...

Have a friend who has decided to go down the 800K path. Been offered 1.85% interest on a term deposit THEN OUT COME THE HOOPS!!! His bank insists on a list of requirements including a fully notorised Thai translation of his passport by the Aust Embassy (I doubt they can do that?). I'm thinking this ...

Yep - Coincidentally the whole thing started heading South when Bob Helm departed!
