@Parmentier *****

They are not using the 800,000 in the bank, they are using the 65,000 per month, which does not have to be in a Thai bank.

Is it possible to enter Thailand on a tourist visa to avoid proof of onward travel and then apply for a Non-O spouse visa in Savannakhet?

Richard *******

I have been asked for proof of onward/return travel even with a visa. In Luanda, Amsterdam and LHR,( granted this all happened over 10 years ago). A visa does not guarantee you entry into a country, If the airline feels that there is a risk, they are within their rights to deny you boarding.

What steps should I follow to marry my Thai girlfriend and obtain a marriage-based visa in Thailand?

Richard *******

My paperwork never changes, same every year so just photocopied. then only thing I need to get is embassy letter verifying my pension which is easy to do and takes a week. 90 day report is a nice motorbike ride once every three months.As for things going sour, most men lose their asses anyway in UK and other "advanced" countries.

It worked for me three times out of the 5 times I tried it , so 60%. However its a nice motorbike ride out to immigration where I live and the in person report usually only takes me 5-10 minutes.
