What is the process for getting a bank account and visa in Thailand with the help of an agent?

George *******

I bought my own place in 2002 for 1.15 million baht. I sold it in 2013 for 2 million baht. If I'd rented for 13 years at 10,000 bht a month, I'd of paid out 1.56 million baht in rent and had nothing to show for it 🤔.

What paperwork do I need to apply for a Non-O visa from London as an expat over 50?

George *******

He says his partner, in these ridiculous woke days you don't say wife or husband, you refer to your other half as your partner. Partner does not mean you are married. You can have a business partner, but you probably wouldn't be married to them. Ridiculous world we live in these days, full of woke bullshit.

George *******

Once you get past eighty years, if your healthy and lucky enough to get to that age, if you got seriously ill with say cancer or CardioVascular disease no amount of medical intervention is going to be much use, only prolong your suffering. Live happy and die happy.

Don't try applying using DiscoverThainature at London's Embassy, from what I've heard it will not be accepted. That came from one of the Thai businesses that runs these seminars.
