Some people can't afford insurance. 3,000 baht a month is huge for some people.

What a lovely hospital. Putting health before money.

Once again if I knew where to donate I would put in a bit.

Where can he find an insurance policy for 3000 baht a month?

If it is possible to buy insurance at all at his age, it will probably cost 5,000 baht per month minimum.

Just under 50k a month and single I would rent somewhere in the 10k range that has a kitchen so you can do a lot of home cooking. You will have lots of time on your hands and I would advise for your own health to take a pass on the street food and instead go to the local market gets lots of produce and cook for yourself. You don't want to be retired and lying on a bed in some shitty 4k/ month room, get something decent.

Maybe get a life might be a starting point.

This sounds more like an ending point.

That's exactly what he's trying to do, get a life here in Thailand and he can do it very well on his 48,000 baht / month.

If you can't afford to put 800k in the bank to get a proper visa then I would be looking at Cambodia. Doing visa runs will get old and is dangerous.

Age & Insurance. I was 64 when I bought my CBR 250 and had no problem with 1st Class insurance. If I remember right, I paid a little more, but nothing outrageous.

What is your insurance? You say first class but it is not possible to buy one for your motorcycle only for cars. It would be interesting to know what kind of insurance you have and in what company.

How can you call a 5 year visa for permanent residency? I do not know if I should laugh or cry.

A Muslim woman must be a virgin when she marries. If she is, you can convert to Islam or else you can point out that she is unclean, and then it is enough that you marry in Ampur whitout showing your penis.

Don't worry after he serve is jail term in Thailand, he'll send to jail in France too....

French national who commit crime in foreign country will be prosecute too in France.....

One Crime two times in Jail.......

It can not be right?

I know that if I could sneak back home to Sweden from a crime here in Thailand then I could get the sentence in Sweden.

If I served a sentence in Thailand then I can not be tried again for the same offense.

It should be the same in whole or EU?

You wrote "I only know his first name, that he was working as a chef in Rome, where he lived for 5 or 6 years"

This means that there should be many traces of your Thai father. He should have paid tax in Italy and if you find the place he was working in, it would be a simple matter to get all information you will need about him. Ask your mother where he was working.

smh......

Not being glib here, but couldn't the surrogate sue for child support in Australian court?

 The child must have the right to Australian citizenship, child benefit and disability allowance.

100 million "dent" in the economy?

That translates to a loss of 5000 tourists each spending 20,000.

What time frame is he talking about? I think the calibre of the tourists going to the district for a weekend of nooky are not the 20,000-in-a-weekend type of customers, and not in those numbers either.

You have no idea on the economy and price that is in betong..I have been there every weekends for a 2 years time frame and trust me the tourists there spent 20,000 per night and some even more( for myself I spend around 20,000 - 40,000 baht every weekend).. Me and my friends can spent 600,000- 1,000,000 baht for a 4 days trip..

So please get your fact right before you judge something..

So, you must be a great and important person since you are such spenders. You must surely too have many important and influential friends in high places too. You and your friends can continue to spend your money but do not forget to tell us how good you are so the rest of us have someone to look up to and admire.

You say you spend 20 'to 40,000 every weekend in Bentong it gets about 1.5 million a year and you buy an I-mobile IQ 5.3

Tony's Fitness has even signs with two prices, one for Thai and one for the others

I managed to squirrel away 2 million baht from my work in the west.

I am living in asia now, i calculate that i can continue living here for about 20 years before needing to get another job.

The first thing you need to do is get a new calculator, because that's only 8300 baht per month.

Yes but he earn interest, too. If he gets 2.7% interest less tax of 15% so it will be another 2500 baht a month for 20 years. The sum is small but it is possible to live on.

It's not easy, just such a thing as writing a will seem very complicated.

In Sweden I sit down and just write up what I want and with two witnesses it is 100% valid.

Here in Thailand you will get different answers and I do not know what is what. Some says you have to take the help of a lawyer and that the idiom is very important. I've seen wills written by lawyers who are very detailed with account numbers, registration numbers, etc. What happens if I get new bank accounts, new car, etc. The will must be rewritten with new legal fees.

Can't I just write my will with two witnesses and keep it at home in a drawer?

Can't I just write "All my money in Thailand both cash and bank balances and all my belongings in Thailand, I give to NN"

I showed a couple of Thai lawyer acquaintances a copy of my Australian will, and asked them if the Australian will was in an acceptable format, with acceptable wording, to be legal in Thailand.; and except for the phrase "executors and trustees", which needed to replaced with the word "administratrators", their reponses were "yes".

One can download an "Estate Information Manual" - see, for example www.gjalaw.com/Sites/191/.../Estate%20Information%20Sheet.doc - Google the phrase - which can help you with information you need to have recorded, but should not appear in your will.

Thanks JimHuaHin, that was a good document, very useful.

Check this out

He drops 2.2 million bht = $67,600 in the street & only rewards the good lady with 10,000 bht = $307......tight fisted bas****. I hope he rethinks his reward & seeks out the lady to offer more

Yes I agree, it is far too little in reward. Normally at least in Sweden, it is believed that 10% is a reasonable reward.

Maybe she hurt her little finger poor girl.
