I marked "Living in Thailand full time" although, technically, that is not quite correct - I use multiple entry non O visas issued in UK & so return back there every 15 months to 2 years to get a new one. Timing depending on what is happening with family in UK...

I've ticked the 'working in Thailand' box but again not strictly true, I am working and I do my work from my house in Thailand but it's through the internet to my company in the UK.....

Work outside Thailand, usually visit twice a year and plan possible move there in a couple of years, but of course that depends on the Thai Govt changing the goal posts a few more times before I'm ready :-k

My general plan has been to visit the LOS twice a year for two months each. For the last four years I've been spending most of these vacations in Udon Thani. Was told that it is easy to find a rich Thai wife here, especially at the Night Market among the BBQ chicken venders. Haven't yet. Maybe I was misinformed. Anyway the chicken has been very tasty and the beer sufficiently cold.

"Was told that it is easy to find a rich Thai wife here"

My wife wasn't all that rich when we met BUT I saw a great potential, so I married her for her money. Things are working really good, the longer we're married the richer she gets;o)

I've ticked retired in Thailand because the business is the wifes and I don't actually work, though I do help her run the business from behind the scenes. :D
I was working full time until I enjoyed a high speed encounter with a drunk Thai in a 4 x 4 while riding my Honda Wave home from work three years ago, now I can't even walk. :-({|=
