I saw him in this strange film..... Paris, Texas.

I see the format on the TT Exchange board has been changed. Now 2 columns of 15, rather than 14. The new currencies added being VND and PHP. Also Chinese and I think Russian script at the bottom. Expect the £ to tumble due to yet more recent Brexit deal setbacks.

The O-A is a multiple entry Visa valid for a year from date of issue. On each entry you make prior to that expiry date, you are given a permission to stay of 12 months. If you wish to leave Thailand after the visa expiry date, but prior to the permission to stay date, you might consider a re-entry permit to keep that one permission to stay date. You can get near 2 years out of an O-A Visa. Does that help or do I confuse? Are you hoping to get an extension based on retirement while in Thailand?

Well today I heard from a guy who works in Visas etc and pretty much just said 'don't panic'! Pension/Income Verification letters, yes the British Embassy has announced as from Jan 1st 2019 they will end this service. This had nothing to do with Thai Immigration and is purely a British Embassy decision.There has been some lobbying effort and they have been asked to review that decision. The British Embassy has gone alone on this, meaning that no other country's Embassies have announced they too will stop the service. Immigration will accept Income letters that are up to 6 months old from date of issue. This means that UK people should be able to apply to get their extensions using them until May/ June 2019. Other than that, business as usual. Later Edit: The yanks have now announced they too will end Pension/Income Verification letters.

The rooms in the old building, most were fitted with a small safe with a magnetic key rather than a combination. I seem to recall there were also individual deposit boxes in reception. The magnetic key was not the best solution for me as you had to try and hide it when you had a guest! Yeah they were small rooms. It used to take ages for the AC to cool the room.

And Etihad...until they amalgamate with Emirates, Singapore too. Cathay. How about Saudia, Hainan, Iraqi....no thanks! PIA same

Is there not still a little one up on the roof? The Lek was my hotel of choice many many years ago, (I mean like 1980s, 1990s ) when I was cheaper and less discerning. The rooms were small but functional, staff always fine. The pool area was smallish but okay, often full of bloody kids that came from heaven knows where in a known monger hotel. Parking for the bike at the pool side and great location on soi 13. Stagger back from The Wonderful Bar which was a common hit for me. Nowadays there is a 'newer' building and underground car park accessible from the other side. I stopped there one NYE some years back, not great, but it was a last minute thing. It is well known for it's breakfast and dinner buffet, but I was more concerned about the hygiene of it. If the place has started accommodating Chinese (unlikely as not Chinese owned) or those coming from the 'sub-continent' I would avoid it.

Stick with Dynasty, why does the girl want the Lek, not a particularly good hotel, old building is ancient?

Darn, 7 a day, they should be selling tickets at the airport. On top of Emirates and others hell of a frequency.

And they didn't need to get permission from the Germans, and the French were on no position to complain!

No point assuming at this stage, the British Embassy have taken this step because, they say, it is unable to fulfil the Thai authorities’ requirements to verify the income of British Nationals. So best answer to you is a 'who knows'. Along those lines I know quite a few people who do stay in Thailand on retirement extensions, but split their time with their home country. It would seem ridiculous to have them show 12x65,000 baht coming into Thailand.

Good feedback... from the link I read... or a monthly income of at least 65,000 THB transferred into an account in Thailand for a retirement visa. I believe this is a change as previously the money could be shown coming into a foreign account. If the UK Embassy is withdrawing it's verification service, perhaps the local authorities are deciding it needs to be seen arriving in Thailand.

Tough times was WW 2 and the aftermath! This is a setback!

Yeah, happens every day.... 12 years plus now, never happened. Now if I got lazy and sent the TGF out with my card to get some cash now and again, maybe one day! You could actually put the money in a USD or Sterling account with a Thai bank, or an account without an ATM card associated with it.
