my Thai wife was having similar issues. I told her it was all in her mind. Either she will not discuss it anymore with me, which would be normal Thai, or she is no longer experiencing them.

Several people have told me they just can't get past it. I remind them, your destiny is already determined. Don't let this ruin what's left of your life.

For the most part, syndromes can be worked out in your head.

Good luck with it.

Because it probably would allow you to be more free and have a lot less bank and government fees, 555.

some people can't concentrate long enough to get past the 1st sentence. It wasn't for them, lol.

Thanks for acknowledging the fact that I have made it to the status of grandpa. Most young people of today will never get there. Especially if they rent a motorcycle in Thailand.

This was my 3rd annual extension.

Last year after my approval my retirement was late getting to the bank one month after my extension started. I didn't check my account, and I withdrew spending money. My account dipped to 790,000. This year, the same office in Samut Prakan said I had to apply again fresh. I was told to make a border run. So I drove to Cambodia. They failed to tell me I had to spend the night. I argued and got back across the same day with the temporary stamp. I then had to get all the paperwork fresh. Then I got a call from immigration police. They wanted to check my residence. This was a 1st. The bank letter failed because it didn't show the balance as of signature date on the signed document. They had the annual bank report and my updated bank book. But that wasn't enough. You'd have thought the bank would have been use to making the proper letter. Now that's done,and they said they would call me in 2 weeks to tell me the results. I won't go through this twice. I have a small house in my name in Puerto Vallarta Mexico. It's easier to visit Texas from there anyway. Without all the BS. I bought a citizenship there around 5 years ago.

An acquaintance from America has used a company to handle his visa for many years here in Thailand. He's never had the reqired money in the bank nor the proper income. Last month he was deported. The company he used is now under investigation, as well as the immigration office in Map Ta Phut.

The rules are being enforced stringently now. One officer said it was the Chinese & the Russians that have really stirred this up.

I will soon start the process of getting my fiance approved for Mexico just in case.

As for you, you probably didn't help matters, so I hope they burn your ass.
