Yes there is..... BUT it is probably too expensive, they don't have and music and they don't serve pork (Muslim owned).

I don't get it. Posted Image

You don't get it ? I guess it's another form of depression like #2 self-claimed.

mrclough,
I think the one you mentioned(with coffee & breakfast mentioned) is a big one(2 shop lot) but no staff, not a single customer nand a lady sleeping on the floor. Near to the new Terminal 3; also left side is a new Doi Pui cafe, very small but nice done and a/c.

Wow, obviously English isn't your native tounge, where in my response does it mention depression? It doesn't, I'm not, unless I am reading another of your query's on TV. Spare me the self claimed  response.You started with a thread about what is the cost of transporation from the airport to the moat area, legitimate until you question a 100 baht fee, chump change.Then it was a specific request for a certain type of music, couldn't be anything but a specific type..... you specified everything but volume!Then the crowning monment was the restaurant! You knew specifically where this place was, but were to lazy to check it out on your own to see when it was open. Wow, you could have dropped on by the place on your way to the bus station, couldn't you?Healthcaretaker, in my country that name would describe a blight on society, now a Healtcaregiver would be a doctor, nurse etc., but a taker......?

I have a friend on an old 'investment visa' which only requires 'proof' of 'investment' (i.e. no 800k tied up) so he shows he owns an expensive condo and that - as they say - is that

on a wider note getting rid of some of the 'less economically viable' expats would not be such a bad thing and as for the Yanks who only have to 'swear' they have the income well that's a farce
Why is it a farce, if you are caught out you could face some legal condequence and donot forget immigration can and has asked for proof of what one swears too. I know your just jealous
I agree. Only a fool would lie to an officer of the U.S. government. That is how they have taken down many, many of it's citizens including some high profile ones with the best lawyers money can buy; not the underlying crime or act, but lying about it to the government. Perjury is a serious crime and there are many prosecutions and convictions every year. And of course Immigration can ask as they please to prove up.

Furthermore, I had to prove more than most in order to get my O-A Visa that I extend each year; including proof that I'm not a criminal, proof of over a million THB (or whatever the requirement was 5 years ago) in investments or cash, medical certificate, etc., etc. So I don't see the farce at all. Indeed it is more jealousy than anything.

Mr. Udonguy seems to think us Yank are all liers and cheats, and that there are many falsifying the documents. Little does he really have a clue to the consequences if caught, or his random off the cuff evaluation of the Yanks. I can't begin to guess where he or she is from. Maybe where he is from they do things like that. So not a farce at all. I imagine many who now have to pay $50 for the 5 minute piece of paper at the Consulate (that's the farce) have now (guessing only) switched to getting the $5 - $6 piece of paper from the bank. I have because it's more convenient and will go back to the affidavit if I need to show more income.

Your right that it is a farce and also you are not guessing on the bank statement -  my 4 times renewal of retirement visa will expire on May 18 and every other time I have used the consulate letter - never a problem - my mind has changed along with many of my friends to use the bank statement - in our minds it it more simple to show an asset base in Thai then to spend 50$ and then have the backup info to prove income if they want - this will be my first experience , I'll let you know

Second the tone of the thread makes me a little sad - I have been here for five years now and I didnot realize the extent ( based on the comments ) of many expats living on the edge - cant afford to live in thier own country - worried about more requirement in Thai - in the end I simpathize with the Thai that they dont want a burden on their country and the expat that wants to have a life - in the end its their country guys
