Hahaha... Yeah one if my first thoughts as well 😜

In 1987 I was still at school in a small town in the highlands of Scotland. Nineteen years later I packed one suitcase and moved to Thailand and I am very happy. Regarding visas, I have always completed my own visa although I do have my Thai wife to assist. The first time applying for my marriage visa was the most difficult but we managed. The IO's at Si Racha immigration were very helpful. Now we have it organized and never have an issue. 1900 baht per year or 30K baht for an agent who you still have to supply the paperwork too. It's a no brainer.

what a great scenery with this school of fish. I have never seen. I like authentic videos that are not completely scripted and are actually left to chance. What I really appreciate about Steve is his openness and honesty ​

I took my second semester off from university in '87 and backpacked through Australia and New Zealand for a couple of months with my brother. I can relate to the receiving mail from home when living overseas. I taught English in Osaka for a year in '92 and my folks would ship me taped episodes of 'Seinfeld' and 'Cheers.' My friends likewise recorded cassettes of new music and sent them out. The Cure's "Wish" and Concrete Blonde's "Walking in London" still take me back to my life there whenever I listen to them. Thanks for another great presentation, Steve!

I'm glad you were not captured or killed by the orcs in New Zealand.

Good Morning Sa-Teef. I enjoy your buddy show with Tim, but I have to admit, my favorite is your monolog PFTB videos. Thank you for taking the time to record and post them.

Good for you to do everything yourself without the agency! I too have been doing all documents and all procedures in the UK by myself. Your Thai is very good and understanding Thai culture. I love your Thai accent when speaking English 😁

Steve, A friend of mine went to immigration 5 times and finally had everything. Signed copies, multiple copies, passport photos, and TM30. On tgat day they realized he had a non-Thai landlord and then they wanted stuff from him. The landlord later replied "Oh yeah I should have told you that, sorry." He handed my friend 3 file folders of paper and said you're gonna need all that. That's when he called me and said he's going to my visa agent. She has honest, affordable and been around a long long time. Her office is right next to my condo. Anything I need done i'm usually in and out of her office within two minutes. I do admire that you were able to get all this done on your own, without pissing off an immigration agent. LOL

Steve thanks for keeping it real no editing

What an amazing sight of the fish in the ocean. And a beautiful background you have there. So refreshing waking up to that sight. ❤️ I’d like to see clips of the Turtle Festival.

Hi Stevo, lve been indulging in broccoli for 40 years, and at age 53, l have the memory of a siv(strainer). But when I take the occasional break, l find my memory becomes much sharper. You're memory seems fine, everyone has a senior moment every now and then 😂😂

That tripod/selfie stick rocks, Dude. Thanks so much!

Great content as always S-tep You shouldn’t worry about the time as we’d probably listen to you for hours. It’s always interesting 😊

I have never used visa agents and have always done it myself. Same when I applied for Permanent Residence, then for citizenship. Contrary to popular belief, most government agents are more than pleased to deal with people directly, as long as you are polite and respectful. Dealing with government departments helps you learn a lot about the way the country works (Ok, I'm a bit nerdy) and the contacts you make can be useful.

You found your elusive tooth! You're still my favourite KZreadr Steve, after almost 18 months of watching you. I look forward to seeing you on Fridays and with Tim on Sundays. Don't ever change, no matter how much broccoli sponsors pay you. lol Greetings from Hua Hin. Barry

Hi Steve! Ya I guess you can say I’m a “ tourpat” been coming here since 2008 for about 3 Months at a time. This year I bought a motorcycle and plan to come back in November and stay longer and tour around the kingdom. As far as speaking Thai… well I’m basically lazy and now being 71 young find it difficult to learn stuff but I do respect and try my best. Hope to come and visit ya. Keep it up Steve yr an inspiration!!

My wife and I honeymooned on Phuket back in 1990 and stayed at Le Meridian on the hill above Patong. I do clearly remember one of the bus tours we did included Turtle Beach. From what I have seen from your vids Steve not much has changed. Phuket on the other hand is now very different. Love your vids mate.

I lived at the back of Patong in 1987. It was just starting to get developed! Knew you from the Boathouse in Kata Noi. Good days in Phuket then! Hash House Harriers was a good event each week!

I listened to Jean Shepherd as a kid, hiding under the bedcovers so that my parents wouldn't know. I still hear Bahn Frei in my dreams.

I found my Turtle Beach. It's between my ears.

Congratulations on your new visa! I will keep your story in my mind when it's my turn to brave the journey. 🙂 Thanks Steve.

Welcome to the agentless club! You won't regret it. February is apparently the month when every single Burmese/Myanmese labourer in Thailand has to attend their local immigration office. There were very long queues here too. Luckily, they use a separate office here.

In 1987 I started a way too long stay in frigid northern Indiana, just a few years after graduating college. 17 of the longest years of my life in that horrible place on the wrong side of Lake Michigan (in winter anyway). I got 'stuck' due to landing a decent paying job in an inexpensive city, so leaving wasn't so easy until I finally had enough. Sometimes I think I am still recovering from that stretch decades later. Arizona, Nevada & Thailand from there to make up for the brutality, the cold & the lameness of Indiana. Finding my Turtle Beach on the outskirts of Jomtien.

Hi Steve. I looked forward to your weekly monologue and enjoyed it very much. Thank you. I share your apprehension towards Immigration. For more than ten years I utilized an agent doing my annual visa renewals. In the end, it was about 20K. So, half of what you paid. Anyhow, eventually, my better half said, "don't waste your money. You fulfill all criteria. Let's go together and do it ourselves". That worked as well as a chocolate teapot... My wife got so upset with the immigration dragon in Bangkok, that she almost got me deported...(joking). In the end, I traded quick but expensive service with no questions asked, for 3 day-trips to immigration. Happy you made it - it is indeed possible! Same for driving license.

1987. Easy . . . I was working my job in Berkeley, CA. Pretty much the same routine for 30 years. Glad I did though . . . It was an interesting job and I got to retire at 55 in 2011. BTW - Seven years ago today, Feb 23rd, I arrived in Bangkok, Thailand to begin my permanent stay in Thailand.

1987 I was in the military stationed in Korea. Prior to that, 1986 I spent some of my vacation in Bangkok, Thailand. I hope to be back in about 12 months for good. Meeting you and Tim is definitely on my to do list lol.

In 1987 I graduated with a master degree in computer science from GWU in Washington and returned home to start my career, home is Kuwait. I enjoy your weekly vlog first thing in the morning every Friday with a cup of tea 😊 Looking forward to meeting you next time I'm in Thailand.

The fish reminded me of the Tour de France. First, we saw the breakaway riders with the yellow shirt leading them. Then, here comes the Pelotón😮

In 87, working in the UK and holidaying around Thailand for a month or so.

Steve, you are a wonderful "posting" author. I love your content. Imperfect posts are "perfect". Don't edit what is not a big deal. Thank you for doing your part, I'm here looking at you man! Thank you! I love Thailand, and will be there again in about 8 months. Visiting family and friends. The Thai are wonderful. Thanks again Steve, you're a remarkable human being. Thank you for doing this "thing". "You can speak to me, Steve, I am a semi retired engineer, and "decorated at that". "Speak to me!" "I'll listen, I promise". (Re; Alzheimer's ... start consuming "fat", and "cholesterol" ... there's a secret in there, I can't tell). I've met astronauts and the great Edward Teller, but I'm still waiting to be impressed. I've met a few Thai, very special people, and I am impressed! (Some very impressed! They are such wonderful and lovely people!) I wish I could tell more, but the monarchy likes silence.

1987 - I gave the British Army notice to quit. I was bored with my job. I left West Germany in 1988 and the Wall came down in 1989. Interesting times.

Digging the shoal of fish thing. Real life nature in front of our very eyes. I am curious what type of predator was motivating their movement. Nothing not to love about Thailand. Also digging the weekly history lesson that seem to accompany your weekly vlogs. Thailand's history is very interesting. Having come here this year, hopefully to stay, I hope to learn more about this country as I go.

Good morning Mr.Rosse. I believe I can call myself a tourpat. I try to come to Thailand about three times a year and spend at least a month each time. It's a sustainable model for me hence my homeland is 5 hours' flight away from Thailand. I don't think anyone from the US would do that unless they really want to or have to. Enjoy the weekend sir.

Hey Steve. Just back from Phuket immigration Went to pick up my approved renewal of my retirement visa Upstairs at 9:01. To get pp stamped then down stairs to apply for re entry permit (1000bht). Out and away by 9:19;! Amazing service wa d and thanked. Now home. Married 38 yrs we visit from Canada as Snow bird’s November tonApril We spend 608 days of Covid here. Best time ever very much appreciated how fortunate we are 😂. Sun of a Beach Best to you

Hi Steve, great to see you found your tooth. In 1987 I was at Treasure Island in Florida. Dam that was a long journey as I flew into Miami and drove up the same day! As for immigration I always do it myself certainly no visit agents ten years now. Visa extension 1900BT, Re-Entry permit 1000BT, Driving licence form 500BT. Then to the Driving test centre 505BT, very easy but I do live in North East Thailand.

Good morning, Steve! I had a very busy week, but a good one. Thanks for asking! I graduated high school in 1987. I lived in my car for a couple of years, starting in 87. My ass was dragging all day today, as well. (It's 11:25 PM in Ohio.) Have a great weekend!

In 1987 we were helping our son become an exchange student in Thailand? It became his life and our pleasure to have Thai families as our family since then. No he did not marry or do the bar thing. He is an educator. I share your view of Phuket.

In 1987, I was planting Cocoa trees three kilometers from Cahuita National Park created in 1970 as a National Monument. I mention the Park because, unlike Turtle Beach, the residents of the original town of Cahuita were Not allowed to maintain the houses existing there. The residents were given lots in an area just outside known at that time as The Bluff. The original houses were built on posts above the shallow water to avoid sand flies. All the houses eventually fell into the sea. There is now no evidence of the town, not even a plaque. The Bluff has been renamed Cahuita. What happened to the Cocoa trees? Unbeknownst to me, the USAID had been giving trees to every woman in West Africa who would take in an effort of empowerment. When my trees got to harvest, the price fell from the $2000/ton price since anyone could remember to $800/ton. Thank you Hershey's!🙏

Having ridden every province, that is some of the best riding in the country and I'm glad you finally found the fortitude to make the ride and to actually enjoy it. I've never used an agent for anything.

No folks, it is not a requirement to use an agent.
