Dah fahrang

Just starting to prepare for the usual annual extension of stay, retirement, based on income.
Perusing British Embassy web-site for their latest information and charges, but cannot find any reference to this service.
All I can find is statement below, but this does not make specific reference to the Proof of Income Letter as before.
Also, no reference to payment by Postal Order appears on their web-site.

Any recent experience from members of TV?
Is the service still available?
Doi they still accept postal orders?

Thanks!

90 day report about due.
Usually do this at Kanchanaburi, but today had to renew car insurance @ Nakhon Pathom, so went on to the Immigration Office there.
Can't say anything positive about the environment at all. It hasn't improved at all since my last visit.
Nor can any nice words be used to describe the three long, sullen faces greeting the punters.

Took my queue number, (4 people to be harangued before me). Surprise, I was called, '90 day receipted' and out within 15 minutes. Phew. Relief to get out of that place.

Now for the only nice thing.
Driving out of what passes for the car park, (car windows open) we were overwhelmed by the smell of freshly baked bread.
Sniff sniff - easily found the source of the smell to be a bakery tucked right inside the front gate of the immigration driveway.
Mountains of loaves, bread tins and that aroma   Had to stop. More than our nostrils could bear.
Asked about the bread - is it sweet or not sweet? "No, it's not sweet".
Is it for sale? "I sell it in the wat (Wat Rai Khing), but, yes, you can buy some".
How much? "10 baht per loaf".
Grinning from ear to ear, we bought two fresh, still warm loaves of bread. Enjoyed them immensely tonight with dinner.

Just as I thought entering Nakhon Pathom Immigration was what it must be like entering Hades, right under my nose - this absolute gem.
Follow your noses guys, after doing the paperwork for extending, reporting or re-entering at this h*ll hole. Enjoy.

Scenario:
Happily married to Thai for 30 years, Brit, retired in Thailand for 7 years on annual extensions of stay.
Wife owns the 1 rai plot of land upon which we have built a modest home.
We have one daughter, (age 26) dual British/Thai national, but for the purposes of this scenario, Thai.
She is currently living in Vietnam with Vietnamese partner (unmarried) with one child - legally Thai.

Thai wife has drawn up a Thai will, notarised at the local amphur, where, upon her death the plot of land and all on it will pass to our daughter.
Chanote for the land is in Thai wife's married (fahrang) name: no problem changing the name at our local land office.

Discussing together what happens to me if my wife dies before me, we recognise the land will be our daughter's.
We love and trust our daughter, and she (we think) loves us in return. BUT, because nobody can predict future events, we want to be 'belt and braces' sure that my daughter, and / or any future (Thai) partner cannot put me on the street with my suitcase, (Channel 3 Soaps style).

It will be difficult enough coping with the loss of my wife, let alone worries about the rest of my own days.
So, we think that a 30 year lease, drawn up now, whereby I legally lease the land we currently jointly live on from my Thai wife will mean that should my wife die before me, I cannot be put on the street by her heir or future partner.

I have read other threads about fahrangs as heirs inheriting 1 rai of land, but that, for us, is too hit and miss, and I don't want my life's home to be in the hands of misguided - or worse - land officers.

Question:
Does anybody know / have direct experience of drawing up a lease between married partners for a plot of land?
Where can this be done simply? Lands Office? Privately between us and notarised by local amphur / Lands Office?
I hope to avoid lawyers, but as a last resort - the devil must.
