Visa Thailand: Under what conditions can I get a visa?
I want to immigrate to Thailand after I receive my pension on August 12, 2016. I don't have 400.000 and of course no 800.000 THB in a Thai account because I have always financially supported my children living in Thailand.
A strange thing, internet banking was refused to me at GSB bank. I have my pension deposited there every month as of 01-01-2016. I also have two fixed accounts there. I also have an account with Krungtai and Kasikorn bank where I can use internet banking.

Reader question: What can I do against sand flea stings?
We have been coming to Thailand regularly for a longer period of time for at least 12 years. In recent years we have discovered Hua Hin and found it a pleasant stay there. Now we are back in Hua Hin from the end of December and for the first time we are suffering from sand fleas, of course on the beach. In the beginning we both even got flu-like complaints, that is over now, but those bites are very annoying. In the evening it starts to burn and itch violently.

Thailand by train (video)
If you are not in a hurry and you want to travel cheaply, the train is an excellent means of transport in Thailand. The Thai railways look a bit old-fashioned with the unwieldy diesel trains and the old railway tracks. And that's right. The train in Thailand (State Railways of Thailand, SRT for short) is not exactly the fastest means of transport.
