  1. Can I open a Thai Bank account (with a tourist exempt entry ) and deposit USD into it. Many thanks
  2. I know you are a regular, knowledgeable, poster here....a 40 per cent per cent drop from the current levels would be simply jaw dropping.
  3. I noticed on Facebook today a 40sm studio advertised at a View Talay as a bargain at circa 2.2m baht, someone commented that the price was expensive. Just trying to learn more about the marketplace.
  4. Thanks for the feedback, much appreciated. So I can take my time. OP
  5. With all the current rumours regarding the new taxation policy from January next year, how is the property market up or down ? Thanks
  6. Thanks, again, advice appreciated ,I am currently living in a 55sqm apartment, a similar size one would be ideal.
  7. Thanks for the additional and very informative replies, very useful. I am looking to rent a 35/40 sm place for the months of February and March next year. I do like to cook at times so a condo with kitchennete would be ideal.
  8. thanks, that's settled then, appreciated
  9. I want to rent a condo in Jomtien for 2 months,I dont particulary want to wave goodbye to maybe 2 months deposit on top of the rental. Is it a solution to book via platforms such as airbnb/booking.com ? The rental is probably more than I would pay locally but they are not asking ( as far as I can see) months deposits on top. Many thanks
  10. I,m now listening to live coverage of the 4th test on 5 live plus
  11. at your age your life expectancy is around 85
  12. Just noticed I have been re-classified as a ..newbie.. on this forum, although I joined on January 17 th 2011
  13. Yes I am looking carefully at annuities, I am 68,if I can get 8 per cent at 70 I am planning to dive in.

  15. I agree I,m just back from Phuket,I would say rent prices have doubled since I was last there 2020
  16. You are exactly right, I read once an estate agent said .... always live in a location where you can walk to buy fresh milk....I have always remembered that.
  17. Over recent years ( before covid) I,ve rocked up in the above area and easily arranged a studio apartment for a months rental. I,m hoping to do the same same in around 2 weeks time ,looking online prices are insane....Whats the reality please, ? should I panic and book or proceed as normal. I know its an exceptional situation-Russia/China etc.
  18. Annuity rates are already up 35 per cent on last year and rising, If interest rates hit 6pc I am hoping for an annuity rate of 8 per cent ( age 68,single life) Spring 2023. I note and respect your point re inflation.
  19. Hopefully there is - in every cloud there is a silver lining- I am returning to live in England next May, then I,ll be 68 so UK Interest rates will have doubled by then, so will probably buy an annuity after 15 years of very low interest/annuity rates.
