I know. It is quite an expense now to be in Thailand. Since my husband (Thai) passed away and my kids are not school age, I have no idea how I will retire there. My finances are not there for the bank account and all!

Should have married before the baby was born. You can get a 1yr through your wife, but through a child not until they are school age (I believe, unless you are the mom). Did you get the birth certificate from the hospital? You need that translated. I don't know the drill nowadays, but my husband just went to the ampur and did paperwork for our children. For you now, you will need the court to recognize you as the legal father.

Okay. Well, I may be out of luck once I am ready. One is 29, other is 18 today!

I often walk with a cane, and am always put into a priority lane when I do. Likely they'll do that automatically, but I agree that a wheelchair assist or some kind of mobility support would be helpful as the distance can be quite a lot. If you alert the airline in advance and again when checking in that you need assistance, they may also manage a tram.

I may have confused with the citizenship process.

Anywhere east and northeast of the Heroines Monument is still low-development. As for Krabi and Koh Lanta, I can't really say. I'm looking into Pha Nga myself.

@Richard ********

agreed. I think in my year a of living in and visiting Phuket, I've been to Patong maybe 5 times and only for dentist or tailor because other locations were booked. It's a pity since that area was really beautiful once.

I've actually been considering Sam Roi Yot, except I have family in Phuket and health issues. I love that area of the coast.

Udon Than has a nice little international school as well.
