Thanks 🙏 Tod!

Greg Alexander Well stated!

@Joe *******

Sorry for possibly offending you and for what seems like a lack of compassion. My response was mostly to the person that I replied to. Having a child outside of marriage in one’s own country is one situation; in another country thousands of miles from home where no concessions are made for English speaking foreigners is completely different. Other replies have offered suggestions and advice.

By the way, you are correct about me not having a girlfriend. My wife (Thai wife) and children and grandchildren will not let me have one. Thank you.

Chok Dee.

The poster says he “got a Thai girl pregnant.” He didn’t say “girlfriend.” I understand that couples in long term relationships having children despite not being married legally. But in this case, it seems to me that this gentleman is irresponsible and stupid. Border bouncing three times. Not protecting the woman and himself against pregnancy. You are correct that isn’t 1950. Let him try another border crossing and see what happens.

@Michael ********

with a retirement visa/extension of stay the rules are quite clear.

@Amanda *******

Korean Air.

Thailand has no anti-discrimination laws. Too short, too fat, too bald, too old, perceived disability, actual disability, skin color, etc. Superficial judgments.

@Tony *****

Perhaps not spending enough money. Immigration might be predisposed to think that multiple back to back no-visa entries are made by those looking to live in Thailand on the cheap and don’t support the Kingdom economy. Anyone that does this is at risk for being denied entry.

It is hot. Get used to the heat. A/C in homes for bedrooms but often not available or operated in living areas. People spend time in shopping malls to take advantage of air conditioning.
