Re: The new Bangkok Hospital in Hua Hin

Except the charges the HH branch ist still light years away from the level of i.e. your Pattaya branch.
I tried your premises twice and thereafter decided not to complain anymore about another hospital in HH, but using their service again.

Re: BIOS repair/reflash needed for Toshiba Satellite T135D

We got the above 13'' notebook. It's about 19 months old. In February Toshiba sent us/urged us to do a critical Bios upgrade. So we clicked it in their software center that ran on the notebook. The upgrade got stuck at 60%, the computer dead. It won't even start-up anymore. In an other forum a tech...

Re: Tor

I tried it in China a few years ago, extreme slow. Even to load a simple text page it took 20min or longer. Newer versions might be improoved.
Finally I purchased a VPN connection to get thru the great wall.

Re: immagration

If the couple are both under 50 years old then the requirement is 400K THB in a Thai bank account for each of them. I don't know where the 1 million comes from. If one is over 50 then 800K THB in a Thai bank account is sufficient and the other spouse can "piggy-back" on that with their ex...

Re: Retirement visa

There is NO such document called “retirement visa”. To stay long term in Thailand you apply for an extension of a non-immigrant visa, usually some form of “O” visa. Thats not correct. As mentioned earlier there are 2 ways: - come to Thailand on any visa and get the extension of stay - get a Non O-A...

Re: Retirement visa

To get the extension here in thailand the best option will be to arrive with non-immigrant visa. Fullfilling the retirement conditions you can get the extension right after arrival and totally you can stay 15 months. The procedure also works with a tourist visa, however its a little more expensive a...

Re: Hua Hin Immigration

Now, since I'm new to Hua Hin, I don't know if Hua Hin Immigrations can/will issue that special Non-Immigrant O visa or not. Some upcountry Immimgrations offices send folks to Bangkok to get the visa. Some other upcountry stations, like Cholburi (Jomtien/Pattaya) will issue the visa locally. Has an...

Re: Re-entry and 90 day reporting

Hi,
so far you did not come back with an update, which means possibility 3 worked or you have not been abroad in the meantime.

Are there any further experiences from the members?
