It doesn't matter where your income comes from. 

Can I remind you technically you're not a teacher! because you don't have any teaching qualifications. To be a qualified teacher in the kingdom you need to have an education degree and or a post-graduate in education for a foreigner.

They'll be making AI chips on this island next you know.

Other countries nearby....

 

Yep my friend said normally would come from the UK every couple of years have decided to go to Vietnam because it's a lot cheaper a lot nicer and a lot less s***

This allows allows the airport staff to holler more abuse at the Indian and Chinese tourists that arrive. It will cause an extra few hours and delay at immigration arrivals

When you give somebody a cock ring you expect it back.

The 90-day report I've been using for the last 2 years but last month it decided to reject my 90-day report on the grounds that it was my first 90 days.

A half decent Brazilian grill and bar that used to be based on Samui and had a branch in Pattaya in front of Central Festival.

So the half Brazilian bar grill was caught running away.

   For long-term living I would choose Pattaya hands down.  I often say Pattaya is actually a better place to live than as a tourist destination to visit for a few days.   It has all the things you'd want in a place to live, either year-round or for shorter terms.  Great selection of neighborhoods, each with its own vibe.  You can choose beach side, with a number of different choices.  Or, you might want the quieter, less touristy Darkside, with lots of terrific housing projects to choose from. 

   Great selection of housing choices at all price ranges--hugely important in a place to live--whether you are renting or buying.  You can, and my spouse and I have, live in everything from a studio condo on the beach to our current 4-bedroom pool villa.  As our housing needs changed, Pattaya easily accommodated us.  Tremendous choice.

   Also so important, very good health care, eye care, and dental care available with a number of large hospitals and clinics. Terrific shopping choices with two very good shopping malls, furniture and hardware stores like Home Pro and Index, good grocery store choices, a large number of car dealers offering a wide brand selection, and a huge number of different restaurants.  Plus, cinemas in English, golf courses, scuba, snorkeling, fishing, badminton and tennis courts, etc.  

     And, the added bonus of being an easy drive on the 4-lane Motorway to both a big city and two major airports.  Three if you count U-Tapao.  The cherry on top is the large and diverse expat community living here.  You'll likely make some new friends--we have.  

All of that within 45 mins of chaiyaiphum

Thanks for the reply.  Is that for the retirement visa? 

 

It seemed to me that the retirement visa would require more paperwork - police clearance, medical cert, health insurance etc.  Whereas the marriage visa only appears to require marriage proof in addition to funds in the bank.

If you're on an income letter it's one letter from your embassy and that said none of the immigration office within a few minutes. So retirements a lot easier than marriage.

Took me to three different Honda dealers to find one that would accept cash for a new bike (December 2023). Preference was to buy in wife's name and finance over 24, 36 or 48 months.

 

Honda currently advertising Wave 125 for 48 easy payments of 2194 baht. That's over 100k. 

Because they want to earn and extra 40k on interest.

Thailand’s northern regions are reeling from the devastation caused by Typhoon Yagi, which brought relentless rains leading to deadly floods and landslides. As of now, six people have been confirmed dead, including four in Chiang Mai and two in Chiang Rai, while two others remain missing.

 

In Chiang Mai’s Mae Ai district, the overflowing Mae Ai river triggered landslides and flash floods, isolating around 2,000 residents in villages such as Ban Doi Laem, Doi Lang, Pang Ton Duea, and Pang Saen Kluea. Rescue efforts are underway, but the situation remains dire. Emergency teams, including soldiers from the Pha Muang task force and Border Patrol Police, have been mobilised to clear the roads and reach the stranded villagers.

 

Tragically, the body of a four-year-old boy was found today, adding to the earlier discovery of a five-month-old baby girl’s body. Two women have also been confirmed dead, and three residents have been injured. The search continues for the two missing individuals.

 

Prime Minister Paetongtarn Shinawatra has announced that aid is en route to approximately 9,000 affected families in the flooded northern provinces. The health ministry has deployed medical staff, volunteers, and rescue workers to relocate elderly residents to safer areas.

 

The Thai Meteorological Department has issued warnings of more heavy rains expected until next Tuesday, heightening the risk of additional flash floods. “Between Sep. 13 to 17, please be careful of possible danger caused by heavy to very heavy rainfall,” it stated.

 

While Thailand is no stranger to annual monsoon rains, climate change is intensifying weather patterns, making destructive floods more common. Since the start of the current rainy season, 29 people have lost their lives due to weather-related disasters, according to the kingdom’s emergency operation centre, reported Thai Newsroom.

No you won't you'll be lucky if you get 100,000 on a credit card.

So I was playing a very dangerous game of shopping for gaming PCs earlier and I noticed that paying in installments was an option. Out of curiosity, I wanted to try but was told I needed a credit card.

 

Things to note - I’ve only been back in Thailand for 4 months but I work from home and well over 100k a month. I also have a Thai ID card. I tried with K bank.

 

I applied for the credit card and got rejected, they did not ask for any documents or proof of income. According to Reddit (not the most reliable source) you don’t have a credit score until you take out a loan or credit card. So I am curious, did I get rejected because my income is from overseas or not being in the country long enough? All I’ve been told is that my info doesn’t meet the banks criteria. Thank you in advance.

There's so no such thing as installments it's meaning that you don't have to pay interest for that time period for months 6 months 12 months whatever it is but there's no such thing as installments. You have to pay in full and then you only have to pay for that installment on your credit card but you're still paying in full on your card.

100 ml limit just throw all your hundred mil bottles into your suitcase and go through security no problem. From experience just flew International and domestic yesterday.
