I agree completely but the United Kingdom has also changed. I have come to hate the UK and its pathetic people. They all want the nanny state to provide for their every need, have become lazy and political correctness means we are all expected to share the same views. I am not homophobic but I am not homosexual. I have never had the urge to wear women's clothing. I cannot bring myself to march in the street to support lesbian rights. In short, I do not want to be told what I should think and do by people I consider to be uneducated idiots.

I realise that Thailand is not perfect but, at least, I will not be bombarded by the opinions of others. I can hide in Thailand and think and do what I want. The "jobs for the boys Tories" and the spendthrift "loony leftwingers" will no longer be a part of my life.

My contacts in Thailand will be minimal and retricted to a few family members. I will not seek the company of farangs.

You will have noticed that I have used the pronoun "I" many times. This is by design, not accident. I want to be me.

Politics in the UK seldom dictated my connection within whichever social milieu I wished to engage and I have to say during my annual returns, barring pandemics, I have not sensed much difference. I have been shushed on occasion when I comment upon the stupidity of Brexit but mostly folk agree with me …..I tend to cleave towards intelligent and informed people as a rule and avoid the lower end whenever possible.

I can well understand your concerns over poofs, men in frocks and folk who can’t tell the difference between fish and fowl on doctrinal grounds but quitting Blighty because of these issues strikes me as a bit extreme.

Perhaps you should try Wales first as a possible refuge and see how you get on.

Most Thai men here are three drinks from poofterdom and rural denizens are all mostly halfwits.

**Bob Mason** · 18-07-2023, 05:07 PM

Please may I ask for the reasons for advising me to try Wales? Genuine request.

**Seekingasylum** · 18-07-2023, 06:00 PM

It is that hybrid synthesis that rewards those who wish to seek refuge in a largely rural environment among medieval halfwitted peasantry communicating in indecipherable tongues but with convenient recourse to urban centres whenever modern life demands it.

Builth Wells is perhaps the epicentre of the fantasy you might wish to toy with.

Your wife would be quite suited to it I should imagine; the parochial, gossipy inanity of provincial Welshness approximates to the Isaan trope quite well I think.

**Bob Mason** · 18-07-2023, 06:56 PM

Thank you. I know Builth Wells well (well, well, look you , boyo). I have settled for North East Thailand and will be cremated there in due course.

bob masons syntax is very similar to that of a poster called can123, who also lived in wales and who also was trying to sell a house prior to moving to thailand.

could they be related?

**Seekingasylum** · 18-07-2023, 11:35 PM

That was my thinking but I think he has a gaff somewhere more central Thailand already.

The horror, the horror……

Bob you seem to be confused about things.

If you are British, there is no "VOA" for you - it's a Visa exemption.

You get stamped in for 30 days on arrival; you can extend this once for another thirty days, then if you really need it, you can apply for a second extension which will automatically be refused and get you seven more days from the time you apply for it. There is no penalty or sanction for doing this.

If you've applied for a Non Imm "O", then it's a ninety day visa. At the end of it, you can apply for a year extension providing you meet the requirements.

Since you want to be to-ing and fro-ing before you get into this, I'd suggest you just do visa exemptions until you're here. There is no document limit to arrivals by air, although on the third one they may question why you are coming in and out. The good thing about the Non Imm "O" is that you can apply for it in-country.

So when you know you're settled in Thailand for a while, you can then apply for a 90-day Non Imm "O".

This can be extended annually for 12 months. When you apply for the extension you can:

- Ask for a single entry/re-entry permit, which means you can leave and return once that year.
- Ask for a multiple entry/re-entry permit, which means you can leave and return as many times as you like.
- Don't ask for a re-entry permit and simply apply for one at your local immigration office or airport when you leave. If you choose this, and leave the country without getting a re-entry permit, your extension automatically expires and you will have to go through the whole application process again.

Regarding Bank Accounts, despite many reports to the contrary, you don't need a work permit, long term visa or insurance to get one. Many banks make it painful though, even different branches of the same bank can produce completely different results.
It's easier just to pay an agent to sort you out, will potentially save you a lot of leg work, and it is after all crucial to getting your Non Imm-O extension.

No, an agent is not 'crucial to getting your Non-Imm O extension', unless you're a wet behind the ears hoser.

Sixty days if married or a parent of a Thai.

**Edmond** · 25-10-2023, 11:42 PM

btw.

All reports are (as I predicted a few months ago) Savannakhet have stopped the Multi-Entry Non-O visas for anyone that can't show 400k in their Thai bank, as of yesterday. Which of course is the amount one needs in a Thai bank to get a 12 month extension.

They still give the single-entry which is for 90 days.

Oil workers and the such might still go for the multi-entry as it saves on turn around time etc etc when getting a 12 month extension. It's 5000thb, as opposed to 1900thb for the extension + 3800thb for the unlimited come n go permit. Not sure if Laos Air serve Tam Mak Hoong with metal or plastic spoons.

Agreed just did my 28th, 1900 baht 37 minutes a sheaf of fotocopies , voila! Probably spend another 20m a year don 90 day report on the app.

Caveat each office and officer seems a law unto themselves and if you have a fixed residence they are a monopoly
To be fair I live extremely close to the bank, ampur and their office and the officers are neighbours and extremely helpful explaining the annual variation on the number of fotos , map , how many pages to copy etc, no inducements expected nor given ever.

Of course if you have neither the time nor proper credentials , seasoned funds the back door corruption is available
