OP, take your wife and kids and find a house to rent and live in, as far away as you can from this family.
What you are going through, I don't wish it to anybody.
Good Luck to you all.
You know they are wrong....and they know.
The thing is, they were probably hoping you would buy them out, and repay the loan to the one who bought the car.
May also have wanted you to buy another house for your wife.
Yes.....go Rent. They are using your wife (their daughter) for profit, and control of your finances.
You, as the man....are the benefactor...not the fawkee...

Start drinking your tea with ants inside your cup. Act like you enjoy it. That ought to get their attention.

That is definitely "the pot calling the kettle, black"...is it not?

I am right before you. I got my "Pending"..and number on 2 May. My reporting day is 15 May.
I will check next week, as we are on a five day holiday.
Makes me wonder if anyone had actually obtained verification ...of successfully completing the entire process.

We live 30 minutes south of Mae Sai. It's my wife's birthplace and she still has family there.
We've seen lots of growth. You might be able to guess where some of the money comes from.
An interesting mix of easterners live and do business in the region. The festivals are popular and well attended.
Most westerners just pass through Mae Sai, for visa services or shopping.
The place is reasonably clean, safe, and the weather's great.
but.... it has a good personality.

I read your post and understand the question....
I do not yet see anything online that requires six month validity on a Thai passport....unless the destination country has such a rule. Why not simply renew it...as she may always need a passport?
However...I tend to believe it.
I was curious and did some additional checking..and found the following..which may be of interest to others. (and myself)
Requirements for travel are easily checked online.
Many countries require travelers to have six months left on their passports before entry.
It is quite common....

http://www.ehow.com/about_5498635_countries-6-months-passport-validity_.html
So, regardless if a passport it is not expired....it can be "effectively invalid for travel" due to (six month rule) requirements put down by the country you wish to visit.
Goes true for any nationality/passport for the countries listed. You may get stopped before boarding..even if you manage to get tickets.

And, I found myself at Rimping in Promenanda a few weeks ago, on a Sunday morning and thought I might have breakfast there but couldn't because the place was packed with Thai's, not a single farang in sight.
I get the same feeling....cannot figure out why so many Thai's go out, and farangs stay home.

The wife and I fortunately showed up for the Grand Opening. The place was very busy..(11am) and they were giving out free samples of all sorts of food. We pretty much had a full lunch out of it...but still ate at the coffee shop.
Beats 7 eleven.
Just behind home pro..and a little to the right is a nice exercise park. We get there quite early, and finish up early as well. The new Rimpings, unfortunately, does not open until 9pm. We were told that they had no private entrance, so had to open when Home Pro opens. Anyways, we are only a five minute drive away. There is a nice coffee shop with decent food inside ...forgot the name.
Used to be quite uncrowded...but yesterday we had a hard time parking. Hope it settles down again.
Their space is limited..so very short on the fresh fruit and vegetables. They have a very small area for baked goods...but did not find the bread I usually buy at the other
rimpings. Also, smaller supply of meats. Not a shopping destination, but convenient if you are heading to Home Pro for something else, and need to stop in and get some essentials.

exotic dancers...
Yeah, some of the culture here is amazing isn't it?
very much so.
I fell in love with the culture in1966, when my dad took us to the World Expo in Montreal.
My favorite exhibition was Thai Culture...and the food.
The girls were all very lovely and dressed in traditional thai costumes.
thanks for the photo..and the memory.

no girl in her right mind would want an 82 year old man as a boyfriend.
Client...I believe that. A financial arrangement, as told by the article. Love motel stuff...not steady.
Maybe he used his sexy motorcycle to attract girls. Sound like anyone familiar?
...and all my girls are not in their right mind...anyways.

this is a non topic.........yawn.

That's an established fact. The sea level doesn't even have to rise, Bangkok is itself is sinking. Has to do with tectonic, Continental drifts etc.
Sinking to new levels....

Looks just awful...and to me, I only have to look at pics to see that it was a "storm" (why worry about what kind?).
Waiting for the rainy season.....floods or no floods?
Be safe, people...buy a helmet and a boat.

I have done many 30 day extensions there...the charge was less than 2000, and done the same day. This is something new, or you just had some bad luck.

I plan on going to LP but just want to make sure they got a KFC...

It's a great getaway and GOOD, INEXPENSIVE WINE!

Who cares about immigration having a holiday...when you can just do your reporting at 7 Eleven?
ThaiVisa declared that service open on 1 April...
However, I am still getting the shrug by the cashier.

Looks like it was taken from up high, somewhere near San Sai? Perhaps the top of Central Fiesta Mall?

Or to put it more simply......Some members bored on a Sunday Night with nothing better to do!
Ouch. the truth hurts.

Happens all the time..... that is the main issue throughout Thailand. The father gives daughter land (before he dies). The land then is used to get money (through) credit/pawns/brokers/banks or worse Chinese lenders). When the bank loan is not paid, and the sister wants the car...it then goes to Chinese brokers. Her family doesn't care if you know or not...that the property has liens on it. They want to settle all the credit, so they can do it again. Any property owned by a relative (your wife's sister wanted a car and asked your wife to guarantee the car and put a downpayment on the car by getting a loan against the property. The wife agreed.) This can pyramid ...and often...not just one piece of land is held by the bank/creditor.....sometimes land parcels are packaged together for a loan. It may be deeper than you think. I was going to help my wife buy land from her sister....and they were ready to sell. The problem was, no paper because of credit. 4 Other adjacent properties had to be paid off in order to get paper on the one (with credit) as well.
Run. Rent.
