I’m one that believes changing your diet and what you consume can definitely have a positive outcome on your physical health. However, I do not understand how carnivore or any diet can “cure” osteoarthritis, which is what I have and maybe what the OP’s gf has as well. I think if it’s caught early on, it could be somewhat reversed but I just have a hard time believing if someone who is almost 60 and has had years of knee pain can have it cured by any diet. I have a good understanding of carnivore and several other diets such as keto that can be great for curing many physical ailments. So I don’t discount your statement entirely.

@Jim *******

This is the way.

If given the choice, is it cheaper to go with a multi-entry retirement visa or purchase the re-entry stamp? I’m thinking I might be traveling out of Thailand maybe once every couple months, so perhaps 3-4 times per year.

My personal situation requires a bit more documentation for the online application. Nothing too difficult, just kind of a hassle.

@Sharron ******

We initially thought about Hua Hin but then decided on Jomtien, near Pattaya. So many beautiful areas to choose 😊

@Sharron ******

Yes, you can do that. And that’s what my husband and I will be doing. You’ll hear many people tell you not to waste money on an agent. But it’s totally up to you as an individual how you want to handle getting your retirement visa.

Personally, I felt the hoops I had to jump through to apply online was slightly more involved than going to Thailand and applying for the visa there. But that’s my own personal opinion.

@Steve ******

I think that’s true. When we flew in December for a 45-day trip, the airline (Korean) wanted to see our tourist visa but we also had a round trip ticket so the return travel was covered. I expect I’ll be buying the onward ticket the morning of our flight.

Actually, yes, I did need an onward ticket for applying online for the Non-O which is why I bought a cheap one way ticket to KL in October. Otherwise I wouldn’t have bought one that far out from arriving in Thailand.

Spot on! I didn’t think I needed to look at his profile but it sure does tell me everything I need to know about him 😆🥴

I had the same exact situation applying for the tourist visa from the US. I used Agoda and just booked hotels for the dates required. You can book without payment so once you get your visa you can cancel all the reservations you won’t use.
