for your information I was supposed to have retired there last summer.... I have a home waiting for me.

Here I just move around from sofa to sofa.

So in response.... I'd love to stay home.

Now go away, get off this page if you are going to be so nasty.

I spoke to my local Thai Embassy and they stated very clearly that they would not process a TR visa unless a flight ticket was provided.

I don't have hotel details yet ....

Just want to know I can have visa before booking flights , hotel etc.

Then it's going to want proof of income etc ... ( bit personal and complicated to put here, but just awkward )
