Hello,

Been here for 15 months, played by all by rules  required by rules now I cannot quite meet financial require of 800K combo for another Ret  Ext...

I don't want to go back to origin of birth, it's pathetic there....

I want to stay here for the foreseeable future since I have settled with one person (over a year now)...

What is a best option for staying long time w/o another Ret Ext at this point?

I've read so many threads and none fit simply "I love this country and want to stay and spend my money here forever" without significant hassle to same-same who just wants to live their life someplace they find beautiful in so many aspects?

I cannot respond on iPad, internet cafe only so delay in thanks or response will be inevitable....sorry for that, but I can read responses, if any...

Thank you so much if possible solution is out there...

I'm retiring in Pattaya and have found only one dead one where they were asking a price more than if everything was in good working order ...I will consider buying a dead one as long as all parts are still intact workng or not

Thank you for your time and consideration...

...now I see within a couple days last week the baht against the USD shot back up almost a whole baht then I look elsewhere and ThaiVisa is reporting in the higher rate ranges instead of its traditional average or mid-rates reporting.

Someone care to TRY and explain this? Tourism manipulating perhaps? to get us to think the baht isn't dropping like a conch shell?

...or am I mistaken and *ALL* the other exchange sights went  down to mid-range to be more in line with ThaiVisa's "average rate" reporting where if we would looked at TV and then actually went into Thailand banks we could expect a much  (relative) higher rate...somethings fishy, BUTT, what should I expect from LOS (Land Of Seafood)?

I hope I'm just paranoid ...

If some Thais don't want tourist coming to Pattaya why don't they just come out and say it?
