Russian Fugitive Caught Hiding in Car at Koh Samui Ferry Port
The place is full of Russian scum but the blame lies clearly with those that increased their visa entitlement it’s the same with the Indians before they were allowed only 15 days now it seems it’s never ending I don’t know what’s worse for this Russian fraudster 10 years in the Bangkok Hilton or being sent on the front line on the illegal war

Thai dating apps just escorts?
It all changed when Covid happened bars and massage shops had to close so the girls resorted to dating apps and that continues I suppose they work to the hours that suit them and of course make more money

Dream Crushed: British Expats’ Thai Retirement Nightmare
When I came to Thailand 20 years ago i spent a year prior looking at the risks involved I decided that I would take the gamble that the monies made on the sale of my UK property I would risk thankfully everything worked out fine my first property I sold at a good profit enabling me to build two separate properties however as I write I am well aware that it could all come crashing down with the click of a finger thankfully it would not leave me destitute and I would of course be upset but at the same time be grateful that I’ve enjoyed 20 good years and let’s face it there are no pockets in shrouds . Everyone who invests in Thailand do so at their own risk you only have to see that the government have already closed down more than a 1,000 weed shops this year someone once said to me never trust a Thai when it comes to money matters it appears this gentleman allowed his other half to take very big risks !

Thailand’s Immigration Bureau Revokes 10,000 Visas
So you have evidence that they are all Rif Raf some people use agents as it's more convenient, not having to drive for several hours then stuck in a long line for hours to be told to come back next week, by the way, having 800 k stuck in a single name account cause problems when the holder dies as the bank wont release it to the deceased estate a lawyer has to be brought inj who then has to take it to the courts for a judge to give written authorisation for the bank to release the funds if whoever is looking after your estate is lucky they might get the funds 6 or 9 months later with a bil in excess of 50,000 baht plus i saying this from experience as i was the executer of a friends will the 800 k cannot be held in a joint account and even if your married to a Thai it is still the same rule as the monies belong to the deceased not NOK until the court issues a release letter to the bank

Crab Omelette Scandal: Michelin Chef Faces Jail Over B4,000 Dish
Speaking from experience ingredient costs do come into the equation along with all utilities , salaries , property costs , taxes ,the list is never ending what surprises me more that such a sought out restaurant resort to placing a sticker over the original cost and write the new price surely they can afford the cost to have new menuey printed . When awarded a Michelin star it’s not just about the quality of food it’s also about the restaurant staff the restaurant surroundings it’s a combination of everything !

Thailand's Free Flight Bonanza: Gift for 200,000 Foreign Tourist
DVT is a 5 year tourist visa so you are classed as a tourist every 180 days when you have to leave Thailand just buy a one way ticket leaving and a return from whichever country then return when the next 180 days expires very easy to work out !

Thailand's Visa Shake-Up Threatens Retiree Paradise
I’m in the process of applying as ex military my yearly visa renewal will be $10 as a single person it is $800 pension per month more if married no health insurance required however getting all the paperwork together is time consuming the application is $1,500 which is refunded should you permanently leave the Philippines or if you die it’s is paid into your estate the bonus for me is that my UK pension is no longer frozen which today would pay me £2,000 more per year !

Thailand's Visa Shake-Up Threatens Retiree Paradise
I’m now looking at relocating to the Philippines even though I have invested well over 20 million baht into the Kingdom . As ex military I can apply for a special visa the application costs 1,500 $ however it is refundable if you leave the Philippines on a permanent basses or if you die it is paid into your estate and as ex military my yearly renewal for the visa is 10$ on top of this my UK OAP will no longer be frozen so if I was residing there today I would be receiving £2,000 more per year that alone would help to cover a small apartment rent ! Sadly Thailand feel no longer a welcome country for foreigners looking to settle here long term . When I arrived here in 2005 it was 74 baht to the £ today it’s 43 to the £ and daily living costs have increased so much so that the average Thai struggles financially ! If the taxation comes into force then I will definitely spend my time beteen the Philippines and Thailand however as I’m a UK taxpayer there is an agreement in place that should exempt me from Thai taxes
