Can I convert a tourist visa to a Non-O retirement visa in Thailand, and what are the steps involved?

What can I buy at 7/11 in Thailand to help with dizziness after a flight?

Google "Epley Maneuver." You might need to watch a few videos and set a timer. It's the only thing that works for my wife's vertigo spells.

Does my Thai girlfriend need a drinks license to sell beer at her cafe in Korat?
Erik ******
Which seems odd, as my local convenience store in the village directly across the road from a temple sells beer, rum, whiskey and vodka. 🤷‍♂️
