Koh Samui is a good compromise.

They might have to move most of the Government's staff to "inactive posts" because in my experience most are corrupt.

TIT, what can I say?

Thailand Elite has sent a mail to all the members some years ago which was addressed to all the members and visible to all.

Therefore each long time Thailand Elite member should have the list of all the members up to that moment.

Nothing fishy about this.

All email addresses visible in the To: line ? Bad, bad practice. I would've thought an Elite scheme were very stringent about the privacy of their members.

It was sold to over 2,800 members.

I have the database in my possession.

I hope you have the rights to have that database

I have a Thailand Elite Card and a work permit linked to my Thailand Elite Visa.

This allows me to travel as frequently as I want and to work legally in Thailand.

I'm prepared to be corrected, but I thought that work permits were tied to the employer, who must have a physical presence in Thailand and supply a mountain of paperwork, financial statements, etc. in order to justify your work permit. If correct, then I don't see how anyone could ever get a work permit in Thailand to work for an overseas employer.

You are correct. In my case, I work for a Thai company of which I am MD. Any accountant can set this up.

Perhaps you can share some insight on if you got the work permit through Thai Elite?

A friend who also has Thai Elite and travels to Bangkok every 2 month just for vacation and stays 2 month every time, he was questioned by the immigration for being in Thailand too often. Friend is in the 30s, immigration officer does not believe he is rich enough to do this.

I have a Thailand Elite Card since 2006 and spend most of my time in Thailand.

My accountant has arranged for a work permit on my Thailand Elite Visa.

It was very easy and I never had any problems with this set-up.

I do not actually work but I still prefer to have a work permit because I do not want to look over my shoulder all the time when I do something.

The Thai Immigration Officers have always been very friendly whenever I entered or left the country because I have always used the Thailand Elite Airport service.

No traffic education in the schools.

The driving test is a complete joke.

The police is only interested in tea-money.

The technical vehicle tests are laughable.

The general population has a total lack of respect for any rules and for each other.

I cannot drive for more than a minute without meeting a car or a motorbike driving on the wrong side of the road, let alone all the other craziness that I see all the time on the roads.

It actually surprises me that there are not more accidents.

Yes, drunk driving is a serious problem in Thailand but it is only part of the problem.

You can buy it at Ohm in Chaweng. I already bought 2 from him.

Nok Air is in my experience quite easy to book online but Air Asia is near impossible, even for an educated Thai national. Because of this my family mostly uses Nok Air.
