Whats your opinion about the strong Baht?

Couple of months ago it was almost 39 B/ Euro. Now on the way to 36 B/ Euro.

I know it is all speculations, but where will it end? Got the feeling it will go down even more to 34-35.

I am in search of a lawyer in Thailand that could possibly help me. I had an accident while I was in Thailand for 2 months at the beginning of the year that has left me partially disabled. I was on a liveaboard diving boat when I got decompression sickness. Because my dive was routine (according to the dive computer) the owners of the boat refused to believe that I had decompression sickness. I pleaded with them to get me off of the boat, they refused to believe I had DCS they kept insisting it was just a pinched nerve in my spine. They refused to get me off of the boat and to medical treatment the dive accident happened in the early morning and they did not get me off of the boat until the early evening despite my pleas. This delay in getting me treatment has now left me with permanent damage to my spinal cord. I spent 3 weeks in the hospital with severe decompression sickness and 50 hours in the hyperbaric chamber there. If anyone could possibly recommend a lawyer who could possibly help me with this that would be very much appreciated.

Hi visa experts! I have a question.... When applying for a 6 month multi-entry visa I've read that one of the requirements is to prove with bank statements savings of 200,000 baht to prove that you can pay your way while there. Can anyone tell me if this can be done with a an income as well showing my $2,000 monthly Social Security?

For my wife and I to retire in Thailand do we need 800,000 baht in bank for each of us?

Hi, I obtained a Non-O visa (based on Thai wife) 2 years ago and then a year ago I extended my stay for a year (by Thai wife).

I'm now coming up to applying to extend again (by Thai wife) and am wondering if its possible to walk in to immigration at Chaengwattana for an appointment, or whether the appointment needs to be booked online in advance. Thank you.

Does an extension on my current stay invalidate my residence certificate if the exit date on the cert is now different than my new stamp exit date? Thank you Al and have a great day.

Hello again! I am from the USA and over 50. I transferred my funds from overseas to my Thai bank on November 16 to position myself to apply for a Non-O visa after January 16 and eventually obtain a retirement visa (based on guidance previously provided here). I would like to know what timeline for processing the application and obtaining retirement visa I should expect. Currently I will fly into Bangkok on December 30: my return flight to US is March 28. My concern, Will I need to extend my stay to complete the visa process? Not clear how this works.
