In Years to come, the situation of the elderly being in Debt is going to become a major issue for the Government. Money is being loaned out now to 30 + Year old people, for property purchase that has a 40 Year repayment term. That means the Loans are payed off when the person reaches an age of around 70 Years +. Many, if not all of these people will have ben retired from their Jobs at at maybe 60 Years of age or less, leaving 10 Years or so of minimal earnings

Using Solar pump would suggest quite a hallow depth to the well. This would of course also suggests the water would be full of all kinds of contaminates. I have a well that is over 150 M deep drilled into solid Rock, with water drawn from a depth of 125 M ,that is more likely to produce " Perrier Water "

Airbus also had a done and dusted deal to move into Thailand a little while ago. That did not materialise, and until Apple actually have a roof over their head here, I will wait with baited breath. -

This Guy Anucha and his cronies need to get out more and do some actual " hands on, wallet open " research Global Oil prices did fall for a short while about 3 weeks ago to$80/ Barrel, but since have risen again to about $85 Barrel because OPEC cur production by 1 M Barrels per day to maintain the price. -
You also have to pay with some Thai Banks levying a charge when a withdrawal is made outside of the Province of issuance.

This headline comes as no surprise to me. The parameters for a large decline have been evident now for over 6 Months, and the Gov,t themselves stated just a short while ago, that the rise in Tourist arrivals and revenue, was not offsetting the decline in Export and Manufacturing GDP. With the end of the Tourist high season now rapidly approaching, the decline is only going to accelerate. Fitch being the first Credit Rating Agency to start making noises about the Thai GDP, and the others will surely follow. One of the major concerns of these Agencies is the amount of Household unsecured Loans ( 20 % only secured in Thailand ), and roughly 94 % of Thai GDP , and if things worsen only slightly, I can foresee serious issues for the Thai Economy going forward

If you need the services of any Agent, it is ( IMO ) absolutely essential to engage the services of an OISC registered Agent. There are a couple of Agents in the UK that are also able to help you as they have Offices here in Thailand. Many Agents will promise you a good service, and then for some reason they will let you down after cleaning your Wallet of a load of Money. I used an agent in the UK ( al be it some 17 Years ago ) called " Orchid of Siam" to get Visas to the U Kfor my Wife and Stepdaughter. If they are still operational, I would recommend these people Tony and his Wife, Lek ( she was a Lawyer sitting in the Home Office policy office at the time ), are thorough and professional, and any application that lands on a Home Office desk in there Folder will not get rejected such is their reputation. Good Luck
