I have received a visa support letter with sufficient income from the Dutch embassy in Bangkok. Unfortunately, this was not accepted in Buriram. A Thai bank account is the explicit requirement there.
My wife will soon be flying to Bangkok with Turkish Airways. In Istanbul she only has an hour for the transfer. Is that sufficient? Does anyone have experience with it? I'm a little worried, she's flying alone and what if she doesn't make it…
With children to Thailand
I want to go to Thailand with my 3 children aged 6 -10 -14. The ages are different and therefore very difficult to make a choice. Preferably something active! Thought myself to go to an island for a few days (with promotions). Is a draw a thing?

Visa for Thailand: Can a tax return instead of 800.000 settlement and the visa support letter
I always apply for an extension of my non-immigrant O using the 800.000 scheme. I am now going to pay taxes in Thailand. Can the tax return and proof of payment replace the 800.000 settlement and visa support letter I wonder? Of course, depending on the height of the attack.
Unsafe roads in Thailand cause less growth of the gross domestic product. Gross domestic product is the total monetary value of all final goods and services produced in a country during a given period.
I know that in Thailand you need a work permit to work. Now, I am a digital nomad and work all day on my laptop as a programmer. Can I get in trouble with that? I mean, is there any control over the type of work I do? I don't think so because of course I can't check whether I'm online all day for fun or for work.
What does customs on Suvarnabhumi actually do?
I always marvel at the last part of the baggage carousel from Suvarnabhumi airport to the reception hall. You will then pass through customs. In all the years and dozens of times I've flown to Thailand, I've never been asked to open my bags. Not even at the old airport Don Muang. Usually the customs officers are bored or have something to eat. What's the use then? Has anyone among the readers ever been audited? And if so what? Run through?

I am in Thailand about 7 months a year and about 5 months in the Netherlands, ie just across the German border near Roermond and not a Dutch resident. I am therefore no longer insured on a basic policy, but I have international health insurance. The 'blood thinner' acenocoumarol has been used for 10 years in connection with the pacemaker that was placed in 2009. I regularly check the INR value with a Coaguchek and with the weekly dose of 16 mg it is usually between 2 and 3, the desired value.
Where in Pattaya can I buy batteries for a hearing aid?
Where can I buy batteries for a hearing aid in Pattaya? Have been everywhere, its very special, thats probably why its so hard hence the question. I am already 77 and also have trouble reading. Even have to use a loupe.
I am planning to buy a condo in Thailand. Is there a site that I can visit and what conditions do you have to meet as a foreigner?

With some regularity Teoy, my wife, goes back to her native village, Ban Dung. She has her sister with daughter and her children and many friends living there. Teoy prefers to go on a Buddha day, so that she can combine a visit to the temple with visiting her family and friends. My dear wife often says to me: “You don't have to take tar if you don't feel like it”.
You may have seen or read in the news that earlier this week a 49-year-old American and a 19-year-old Thai woman died on Soon Karn Kha Road in Ban Chang in Rayong province. The motorcycle hit a concrete block at high speed, killing the motorcyclist and passenger.
I have a “non-immigrant Retirement visa” valid until 28/05/2020. On this date I need to extend the visa for 1 year. But what happens if I am late in extending the visa?
July Blog Ambassador Kees Rade (10)
On the eve of my departure to the sweltering Netherlands (from the rain in the drizzle…) a short summer blog, as announced in my previous blog. Short, because you can tell from the amount of emails, visitors and meetings that the holiday season has arrived. But that does not mean that nothing is happening at all, on the contrary.
