I agree with you.I have been in and out of the country at least 40 times in the past 22 years and never been asked about proof of exit or money requirements,been ask about proof of accommodation once or twice.I think it's all hit or miss who you get at immigration on arrival.

From what I am hearing there have been lots of website issues.

Drive very carefully in Thailand.

I converted my Canadian drivers license in Pranburi while I was resident in Hua Hin a few years ago.The usual photocopies of passport pages required, can't remember if I needed a medical cert.which is easy to obtain. Also didn't have to watch any videos, just did a colour blind test.Had my Thai license in about an hour.Also Cha-Am is another option to get license. Hope this helps.

Once you are over 70 your premiums will increase a lot, plus when you want travel insurance for over 30 days coverage,premiums increase. Personally I would take the £450 coverage.Just my opinion.

I've had the same dentist in Hua Hin for 15 years, a husband and wife team. Excellent treatment and no complaints about prices.Would recommend them to anyone.

Why not consider travelling within S.E.Asia and checking out not only Thailand but Vietnam, Laos or Philippines before making what will be a very important decision for your future.

Same for Bank of Ireland notes.

I got insurance last April/May from Staysure, 56 days, everything over 30 days is expensive.

@Stuart ********

Totally agree.Private hospitals also charge foreigners more than Thai.
