Please put your glasses on and go back and read my post! The second sentence says "I am on a retirement visa" but should say extension. The rest is correct! No harm, no foul when I misplace my glasses I can't read anything and usually find the glasses, many times pushed onto the top of my head! 1 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Well I actually didn't mean eating out at restaurants but don't let that stop you having a go! Sometimes more than glasses are required.

Still got that dodgy smoke around there? You actually need to go back to another post I made where I tried to enlighten someone as to why a retirement ext. person needed more finances than one on an extension based on marriage. From here on I give up! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
skatewash Posted December 6, 2018 Share Posted December 6, 2018 (edited) Nascent report of something promising from a Danish applicant in Chiang Mai. Of course, he could return with the requested proof and immigration could still decide to ask for the embassy income letter. But still a fairly promising, but isolated, report. https://www.thaivisa.com/forum/topic/1068630-denmark-embassy-has-stopped-doing-pension-letters/?do=findComment&comment=13626479 Edited December 6, 2018 by skatewash Replaced link with direct link to the post rather than the thread. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

From here on I give up! I've been on both. I can actually say that since my wife died almost 4 years ago I do not spend anywhere as much as I did when she was alive. So I am an example of 1 that can truthfully say that it's cheaper to live as a single retiree than it is to live as a married retiree!. No braille, no smoke, no fake news, just a fact in my case! Nuff said! 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nuff said! I agree with you. Since never been married I can't speak as to whether cheaper or not, but as a single retiree I've nearly always eaten food from local street vendors and the Thai restaurants around my soi, rice with an egg and chicken, 30 baht. I do sometimes eat at mall and other restaurants but it's the exception rather than the rule and usually only with friends. I'm sure a lot of people opt to eat in mall restaurants and western food, but it's pretty absurd for someone to use that, even jokingly, as a justification for the difference in income requirements (which has always bugged me a bit). No one has to live in Sukhumvit or Silom areas and there are plenty of local eating options. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
