[Asking expats about LGBT people]

Whilst I don't know the expat community in the city mentioned, i have lived/worked in Isaan for the last 18 odd years. Most people here are either (mainly, not 100%) retired or younger teachers. I would suggest that most will not care that he is gay, but what might give him more trouble, is that he is 'extroverted' because some might have different takes on that and see it as rude, unfriendly, overpowering because they are quiet people (of any gender).

Why all the secrecy?

 

The OP is asking about dentists. Lots of other members viewing. If they are viewing, they are interested in the conversation and outcome.

 

Why can't dentist details be posted on the open forum?

It was a reply to his PM to me. No secrecy.

Could not agree more.  But who is responsible for putting this right?   The RTP or the retired Farangs living in Thailand?

Thanks! Just to be clear, I'll be extending my Non-O 90 day visa that I got in Laos, this will be my first 12 month extension. Do you know what documents I need to bring with me?

I enquired only last week, at an IO linked to Ubon and despite me doing my last 12years B visa extensions there, they insisted on seeing 12 months' income from abroad, to get a retirement visa on that basis.

Yes, I saw that before posting, hence the word 'slightly'

[Veterans Association leader arrested in Buriram, potential fundraising scam suspected]

The word 'Veteran' is slightly misleading. This event was (supposedly) for the benefit of old/infirm citizens and nothing to do with ex-military people.
