How about a Non-Imm O multiple? (Are you receiving a state pension?) Thai Embassy

Is this stable or still beta? Any way to update it without losing all your add-ons and settings?

Good Tip, I suppose I could use Private Browsing too?

L.A. Confidential

Yes I have flown them several times and found them okay. My only gripe was that I always landed and took off from different terminals in Abu Dhabi and the transit was a bit of a zoo. I too am directed by price, although having so many daily flights between Manchester and BKK, Emirates (and their A380) have been winning out.

Well the title specifically excluded wind-up by stating 'electric' as did the first post......perhaps a sun dial with a wind-up as back-up for cloudy days?

Perhaps they did not wish to appear pedantic?

Its got batteries!!!!

Well, other than us not really knowing what the rules could be in the future (they seem to change), it is not too difficult. You need to be over 50 years of age. You could try to obtain a Non Imm O visa in your own country, or even arrive with a retirement visa already, Non-Imm O-A. I suggest you simply look up the requirements/qualifications for these on your local Thai Embassy website. Most will arrive with the former, or even with a visa waiver or tourist visa, and convert it locally to a Non-Imm O within Thailand, then apply for an extension of stay, based on retirement. There are a few different ways to proceed from here but, most straight forward, is to put 800,000 Thai baht (currently) in a Thai bank account, and do not let the balance fall below that for 2 months (known as seasoning), then you can apply to immigration for a one year extension based on retirement, various copies of passport, bank books etc will be required.

Similarly the booze shop attached to Best Supermarket at the NE corner Dolphin roundabout. I bought a litre bottle last time I passed through Dubai and put it on my UK credit card. When the total came through I was shocked as it was about the same as what 2 pint bottles in the UK supermarket. Anyone passing through Swampy should make a note of King Power prices and I will compare to local shop prices.

Something's Gotta Give

Keyman and I enjoyed these guys last night..... I shot a bit of video on my phone but I haven't a clue how to post it here without hosting it somewhere else.

The night I went there were bloody market stalls selling crap and people gawping at them and generally blocking progress.... your route works well if coming from soi 15/Buakhao.

Thanks.. missed it last time, still seeing stars after climbing the steps.

Thanks for that, next time I go I obviously need to look for the specials board as that is where a better option is to be had. I love duck but I too felt having a bit of chopped fruit tossed over it was a bit odd...personally not a fan of mixing fruit with savoury. Nor do I like the habit of leaving tin foil on a baked potato, sure it 'proves' it wasn't microwaved but, well, it is like serving up the peas still in a tin. Good report.

Avoiding a loop-back I will go with Robert DeNero

The Godfather

Then there is the option of a few nights out locally..... Not too knowledgeable about that myself as my place more to the North, but it seems there has been quite a migration of Expats to the dark side in the last decade as Pattaya loses its lustre and prices itself out of that market.
