Remember Neville Chamberlain a peace loving UK prime minister who wanted peace at all costs.
QUOTE
As Prime Minister, Chamberlain is remembered for his support for the policy of appeasement towards Adolf Hitler over the annexation of Czechoslovakia and the signing Munich Agreement on 29 September 1938. Returning from Munich, Chamberlain delivered his "Peace with Honour - Peace for Our Time" speech. Less than a year after Chamberlain delivered this speech Britain had entered the war following the invasion of Poland by German forces.

If the government wants air fares to be lower, it should subsidise them. Not tell airlines what their pricing policy will be.
The travellers will decide if an airline is too expensive or not.

Thai AirAsia has weighed in on the issue of high airfares which prompted calls for price reductions, arguing that slashing ceiling prices is not a feasible solution due to increased operational costs borne by airlines since the onset of the pandemic.
The airline’s Chief Executive, Santisuk Klongchaiya, has suggested increasing flights during the Songkran festival as a potential strategy to decrease average fares.
Santisuk explained that costs of operation, including fuel and maintenance, have surged since the pandemic hit. Furthermore, the aircraft supply chain has yet to recover to its pre-pandemic state. He stated that it’s typical for airfares to increase during the Songkran holiday due to high demand. The Civil Aviation Authority of Thailand (CAAT) regulates these airfares, setting ceiling prices for each route.
Thai AirAsia plans to keep prices reasonable, adjusting them based on each route’s seasonality and passenger demand. As a response to CAAT’s policy, the airline proposes to add more late-night and early-morning flights to help lower average fares.
Santisuk argued against the implementation of a minimum price for airlines, citing that such a measure contradicts free market principles and could negatively affect consumer benefits from airlines’ promotions.The Thai AirAsia CEO also stated that Thai carriers would not revert to price wars as past experiences have proven this to not yield positive operational results. He suggested that the government could assist in reducing passenger costs by adjusting the jet fuel tax rate.
Setting standard prices
On the same note, Tansita Akrarittipirom, director of commercial operations at Thai AirAsia, highlighted the necessity for low-fare promotions in the Thai market. She noted that the majority of the public does not have high disposable income, but travel remains a desired activity.
Thai AirAsia has set a target of 15 to 20% revenue growth this year, aiming to expand its fleet to 60 aircraft with a seat capacity of 23.3 million. The airline has plans to add three A321neo and one A320ceo jets to its fleet, with the intention to operate 33 domestic and 58 international routes to 18 countries this year, reported Bangkok Post.
Sarun Benjanirat, deputy director-general of CAAT, mentioned that the agency is considering a new ceiling price that will accommodate all airlines. The price will be set for each route and adjusted based on each airline’s services. Factors such as fluctuating fuel price are to be considered in setting an appropriate rate. The implementation of these new rules is expected in the second or third quarter of this year.

I would like to thank the Forum members who replied to my question which should have indeed more elaborate.

So to be clear....you have previously obtained extensions based on marriage?
Now you plan to obtain extension based on retirement?
Your wife will need to be with you on day of application.
Subsequent extensions based on retirement the wife is not required.
Any link on the internet to show the required documents / may-be Thai Immigration has it in Thai language

Thanks for the immediate reply because my Thai wife is somewhat confused because she wants again to go city hall for copy of our marriage certificate etc..
It is my first extension as a retiree and our marriage is no longer a factor
I/O is in Pathum Thani
I have 800,000 THB in the bank

I thought I would find a reply to this question in the Search of this Forum but nothing pops up.
Can a Forum member provide a list of required documents to submit to Immigration to obtain one year extension of my retirement visa (it can be in Thai language as my TF will help and it can also be a link to another source)

My yearly extension has to be done before end of February.
However end of this month I need return to my home country for a serious surgical intervention which may require several follow up visits ...so that I may not be able to report on time at Immigration for a new one year extension.
Will Immigration except if I come late or will I need to do all the paperwork for a new retiree visa at the Thai Embassy in my home country?

Because I am old my hearing is getting problematic when I visit hospitals where the doctors still use masks and are sitting behind plastic screens.
I ordered a simple hearing aid from Lazada / just enough to increase to hearing volume / but even the smallest of the three supplied options was too large to fit into my ear (it hurt me) because my ear canal is narrow.
I still do not need the sophisticated and very expensive hearing aids available on the market.
Can a Forum member - having my problem - recommend a simple hearing aid for narrow ear canals?

I want to buy a simple smart watch to monitor constantly my blood pressure and pulse rate.
Bluetooth link with an app to my Samsung smartphone is welcome but not essential.
Searching at Lazada or Shopee it looks as if I can only buy watches which are like mini smartphones : too many functions I do not want.
Can some Forum members let me know what they recommend?

I do not understand :
1) will this mean that containers ships will be unloaded on trucks or train wagons in Chumphon as well as near Ranong ? What will be the cost if the unloaded those ships have to return empty?
2) how will the oil be transported, through a pipeline?

She was scared because she thought the guy might have a weapon? And didn’t do anything? Sounds kind of odd to me. She could have walked up to the driver and alerted him. It’s doubtful a person like that would have a weapon but I guess you never know.
Story sounds odd to me.
Her attitude was very much in line with what the majority of Thai women would do in such a situation.

I am 79, married to a Thai wife, retired with Non Immigrant O visa and 800,000 THB blocked in SCB Bank which is verified by the local Immigration Officer.
From time to time we transfer money to Thailand to cover our living expenses here.
Now the tax authorities of my own country (EU member state) want me for the year 2020 to obtain a "no income declaration" (otherwise declare any income made in Thailand).
Some people say I need to apply for a TIN (Taxpayer Identification Number) but I had never any contact with the local Tax Authorities : they have no data about me.
I never made any money in Thailand : I am too old to work and as a retiree I would not obtain a work permit.
Did any of the Forum members have to face a similar situation and how did it work out for them?
