    Thank you for your replies, gentlemen.

    To help clarify, I have been living technically legally in Thailand when I am there. I also travel around the world, return to the U.S. as desired, followed the prescribed law which falls into 'tourist' activities, do not work illegally, am 61 (don't want retirement visa yet). and am single. Previous visa apps have been overseen by my attorney and visa immigration in Mae Said with approval. They  know us - for many years. So, I am legal. As for now, I am attempting to obtain a tourist visa, and according to THAI LAW as prescribed to visa applicants online (which may not mean much to some), I meet the criteria of obtaining a tourist visa, i.e. exit flight, accommodations, monthly income, not working in Thailand, guarantor, cash in the Thai bank, cash in another Thai bank, and cash in an American bank. There is nothing that says you can not have unlimited tourist visas in a year. There is a new law that says you can only do a visa on arrival twice in 12 months (which I've already done of course).  Thanks for your comments.

    You don't want a retirement visa? That alone shows that you are not thinking right. You would rather have these visa difficulties? Something is just not right.

    I know a couple of Thai families living quite well on 10k/month (and paying rent and uni fees for their kids out of that).

    As for health care, some of us aren't constantly ill, my last visit to a doctor was 4 years back for a few stitches after a crash (about 1,000bht). I live well on 20k/month + house loan repayments.

    I've not had any health insurance since I left the UK.

    You cannot live "WELL" on 10K per month with two kids in school anywhere. Don't worry, no health care will certainly catch up with you.

  3. There is a government phone number 1111. You will get a live person and they will answer any questions you have about any government activities and policies. That is your best bet to get a correct answer to your question. If you are out of the country perhaps you have a friend in Thailand who can make the call for you. 

  4. Listen up!!! Get yourself to a good and honest English speaking attorney. You do not indicate where you are living with this lunatic but, find an attorney preferably in Bangkok. The attorney can file Police reports on your behalf. Keep accurate records of times and dates of the physical attacks by your GF. Once you have done that, leave this nut before she kills you. Let her go file her complaints and the Police will ask why she didn't come forward before when they happened? They will ask you the same. The fact that she delayed her complaints shows she does not have the best credibility and was only using the accusations to intimidate you. Without an attorney you will never get this straightened out. I have used a law firm in BKK for various legal things and have found them to be excellent people. The Kingdom Law Group Co.,Ltd.  Good luck.
