What are the best recommendations for visa agents in Bangkok for those seeking a retirement or DTV visa?

Dude, my only question is how good are the cannabis gummies? Since I don't smoke I was wondering how the Thai edibles were. BTW, happy for ya, be there soon, permanently.

How can I find affordable flights to Thailand during high season?

Michael *********

Problem is you are picking prime time to travel to Thailand. Not only is it the holiday season it is also the best time of year to visit the Kingdom.

Can a foreigner married to a Thai citizen buy a house in joint names?

Michael *********

@Craig *******

Incorrect sir. My Thai wife & I own a house, she is 51% owner, I am 49%. You just need to prove marriage & there is no problem.

How can I find an agent in Bangkok to assist with obtaining a retirement visa and a Thai bank account?

@Toni *******

If you respect the Thai people & their culture then you will never have a problem. Maybe stop looking for racism everywhere & it will disappear. I'm so tired of people crying racism, it's getting old. Respect the people and their culture & stop looking for something that's not there.

What visa options do I have for staying in Thailand with my fiancée and for her to visit the USA for my daughter's wedding?

Contact TSL & Associates in Bangkok (they have satellite offices as well). They handled everything no questions asked. Compared to the prices in the US their services were cheap & everything went smoothly.

What are some good beach destinations within three hours of Bangkok that offer clean beaches at reasonable prices?

Michael *********

Stay away from all of the overcrowded tourist traps a.k.a. Hua Hin, Pattaya etc. Instead head to Rayong province. There you will find one of the top beaches in Thailand, Mae Phim. During the weekdays the beach is empty you can walk for 1000 yards without seeing anyone.

@Neil ********

This is true but you cannot use Medicare in Thailand so it's a moot point.
