  1. Phuket can see the reasons for doing it,don,t know if it will make the tourist come in droves
  2. They said in 20 yrs bkk will underwater.Every year the subject comes up
  3. The thais are happy to be getting the jab including farangs.The children are also getting the jab and lining up.Other countries like the uk are still thinking about young adults or parents are. Don,t know what brand is being used,but better than nothing and it may help them if anything happens
  4. Never understand why do that if they let restaurants open to serve food.just like election and budda days.they stay home and get drunk and still vote too.just go to the mom and pop shop problem solved
  5. His chance of hiding is slim now,he either left the country asap or in so much trouble now
  6. They caught him and on the red list.the one from red bull is still missing maybe he is next
  7. What did he expect from the court and system in thailand.Dual pricing has existed for decades and this will continue.if you can trust your other half in transactions ler her do it you don,t show up,hospital is something else of course.Before the thai driving license worked for national parks and zoos,now it does not.They was a attraction in cnx festival mall before i checked the price dual price as well.T hey did not hide it either.Did not book it of course,but it was a private owned attractions too.Not right dual pricing,the farang will never change it
  8. They have budda days and advertise bans about beer in thailand.but on those days in the village when elections are on ,the small roadside bars are open mum and pop shops don,t worry about it either.beer and local is sold.In the bigger towns police make sure no bar or restaurant sells alcohol.They is a 2 tier system for sure that exist in parts of thailand
  9. If u have a valid passport then no problem.if they check for a legal visa all good.If you don,t have the passport legal then u are in trouble and you would not be using western union.You can transfer thru bank acc,s and then your atm works again.They are many other ways than western union
  10. Could be realistic nov i reckon dec is a better date i think.They will get the jabs oyt to everyone open the country and businesses is a start then tourist will come back.
  11. Everyone knows if u look up something in thailand online they are watching.if you type something naughty you will get a message and page blocked.Can not comment about china but i believe they are worse.So no wonder they come low in the ratings
  12. Every country different they all will use a russian , pfizer or chinese vaccine,plus AZ too.moderna is another brand.In time they will accept them and accept thailand is jabbing their people everywhere now plus a third one like us.Don,t know why the uk don,t accept what thailand is doing to jab it,s people
  13. Spoke to my friend in udon she said pattaya all closed from her friend.everywhere the same.she say many thais wait to return too along with farang.Now another date nov opening ,i still think dec jan.we all wait and see
  14. dual pricing exist everywhere in thailand we all know that.Even hospitals,in cnx chiangmai ram is more expensive than others in the area.Reason farangs have used go fund me before
  15. Nov is the date maybe end of nov.My guess is dec or jan to save something of the high season
  16. My friend will be getting his next extension then in cnx like many.To be fair it worked for many who have stayed there since the outbreak.I don,t think it will last much longer now the jabs are being issued
  17. They is a reason why thais can only own land,look at land or house prices else where.put the locals out the market and rich don,t have a issue of course.If you marry then u have more rights about land when u buy,but not own it outright.I think that protecting the thais in some issues in their country is right,others issues not so
  18. dec or jan looks good xmas day in bkk or even loi krathong.if no hotel stay for 14 days people will return for sure
  19. They were talking about drinking a vaccine too like polio.Or this way.worth a try if it works.the needle the normal way works we know that.This virus is testing everyone in the world,but in the end it will work out and back in thailand before we know it
  20. You don,t read stories like that often,everything all dropped and free to go home.lawyers or brown evenlopes must have being a huge price.A friend was in the bangkok hilton for 15 yrs i think,in the end he got a kings pardon,but he said he never done it too. He is out changed his name and free now,he learn,t fluent thai to read and write during his time inside,but the charges never were dropped
  21. The tax on wine has always being high,wine sold across the borders in burma for passport control in the days gone by were half the price in the duty free shops.Thais always asked friends of theirs buy some wine duty free.Like any country the tax is high on brooze and wine is up there,imported brooze is a premium anywhere,
  22. You can own a condo,but not on the first 2 floors,That is deemed owning the land.Land must be a thai but u can be on a lease for 30 yrs so u can stay there.The thai can not sell until the lease is over.Lawyers can have it all tied up no problem for anybody.That is all i know from my experience. I don,t think the government want to change rules of land ownership in a hurry that will let the farang have a advantage
  23. They talked about high speed trains to cnx for years,I believe they still talk about it or planning it.What is the route they taking via cnx or issan.I know Thaksin or his family brought lots of land because they knew about a second airport being built in cnx.As far as i know no second airport as yet but they wait for when it happens like the train to china
  24. I reckon dec or jan is still looking good for us to return to thailand.So many are waiting
