What are the rules for using a bank account for retirement visa extensions in Thailand?

Gerg **********

That’s a good incentive to switch to the 65,000 baht/month method.

What could be causing the pressure switch on my water pump to turn on and off in the Jontien area?

Gerg **********

Probably not the switch, probably a leak in the bladder of the holding tank or leak in the down pipe to the well, depending on what kind of system you have.

What are the current motorcycle driving law enforcement updates in Thailand?

Gerg **********

On Sukhumvit road in Bangkok today every motorbike taxi passenger I’ve seen isn’t wearing a helmet, and many drivers aren’t either. Not a cop in sight.

What is the safest way to transfer a large sum of money to a friend in Thailand for a house purchase?

Gerg **********

I’d try the wire transfer to your friend’s Thai bank with a SWIFT code. I’ve only sent money to myself that way, but it works well, is fast, and secure. Ask your EU bank about it.

What are the key factors for successfully obtaining a UK visa for a Thai partner?

Gerg **********

Yes, it’s always been that way. An average Thai with no real ties to the country will usually not be allowed a tourist visa. Same for the U.S.

Should I disclose my diabetes when applying for health insurance in Thailand?

@Andy *********

I’m not putting out false hope, just because you don’t believe it. I reversed mine and I’ve had a normal A1C for 3 years, I know what the truth is. If you want to rename it “remission”, I don’t care, but mine is gone. Kaput. History. Never coming back because I’ll never stop eating this way.
