With a retirement visa, do I have to have 800.000 in the bank and will I get that visa? Must be on the bank for 3 months right (still?). Can I go back and forth on that visa whenever I want? Can I extend this at any time or do I have to come back to Thailand in time for renewal?
Mahachat, the 'Great Birth', and its celebration
Mahachat, the penultimate birth of the Buddha, is the story of the generosity of Prince Wetsadorn Chadok (usually called Prince or Phra Wet for short) who gives away everything, even his children and his wife in the end. The adventures of Chuchok, an old rich beggar with a beautiful young woman is part of this story.
In response to my earlier question, I think you are wrong about EXTENSION based on NON-O. You mention that a 30-day extension is not possible on a NON-O marry visa, but a 60-day extension is.

Had to ask my bank for an overview with a letter of what had been deposited in the last year before April 7 (cost for this was 100 Baht, she said, but a little later sorry, but that is now 200 Baht).
