Hi Grandpa.
Yes although I could not claim any money they paid for my medical and the course as well as bus fares to and from. This was Wolverhampton agency.
Concerning your retirement visa,I don’t know wether you know but there are ‘agents’ providing them for around 15-20K baht. I have many friends using them without any problems.
Someone else has mentioned a motor home. I would consider this as there are no 500baht rooms over here.
Happy Songran.
