Thai Immigration Chiang Mai requiring proof of income

[scottish-guy]

...One can get around the whole letter thing if they are willing to satisfy the Immigration dudes that you have enough cash in a Thai bank to cover the requirement...

In that case the solution seems to be rather obvious - surely there aren't people living in Thailand solely on the basis of a monthly pension as Frequent suggests?

If so I hope it's not the UK State Pension as that would hardly even buy a daily wank from the +50yo massage boy in BT that people are talking about

How narrow your perspective scotty. One of my closest friends is on a very substantial pension from CalPERS. Private pensions far outweigh state ones

Seriously, Frequent - that's twice in succession you have jumped on a comment I've made, both times getting it completely wrong.

I *clearly* stated I hoped people were not trying to live in Thailand on the basis of the "UK state pension" - which is the lowest of any developed country (OECD).

You then fly off the handle and berate me with an example of someone living it up on a private pension? Two completely different situations

If you don't get a grip you're going to turn into you-know-who - snapping at everything and everybody like a yappy flea-bitten old mutt with a bad case of piles.

I hear that the 50yo massage 'boy' can no longer offer the aforementioned service, as he now has arthritis in both wrists. Water sports, however, remain on the menu of delights, provided that customers are not fazed by an often sudden, unscheduled and uncontrollable torrent! Customers are advised - so I hear - that when asked which side of the bed they would prefer, to reply, "The shallow side please."
