It's pretty clear to me that you have to take a boat across the river. The map even shows that.

Arnold Schwarzenegger says that a plan b is a plan to fail and I tend to agree. So I have no plan b.

I'll preface it by saying I don't know for sure. However, I was doing a lot of research on it yesterday and today and it depends on what country you're from. Some countries need a background police check but many do not. I was going to do an Non-Immigrant O Visa but now I'm thinking about doing a education visa and I'm 66. I found a school down near Asoke. They handle all the paperwork to get the agreement with the ministry of education and then will give that to you and you go to immigration with the required photos and other paperwork. So I'll pass what I know on but I'm sure somebody will correct me.

Sorry I guess I didn't make myself totally clear but I was talking about marrying a Thai lady. Not a US citizen. I saw that if the child is less than 16 there is no 5-year limit but I don't know for sure. Thanks.

most likely because you have a lot of deductions. But the US government does charge tax on social security and income over $25,000 per year. I wrote a check for $4,000 this year and my tax rate came out to 10%. No, I didn't like writing the check but that's the rules. You take money out of your retirement account and it's over $25,000. You're going to pay tax on it. It's not going to change so you might as well just get used to it.

What was that big deal but leaving Bangkok headed for bkk airport I paid for the whole trip but all he gave me was a black token. So I got scammed for a little bit of money but when he gave me the black token I knew something was weird about it, and should have said something. But I was in a hurry. Scammed into BTS station lol. The worst part was I had to wait for the whole line to go through before I finally put the token in. There's always one of us isn't there?
