If he had contributed to his (Greek citizens) "AMKA" National health plan, he would be covered. But might have to repatriate? right?

It affects me negatively, on a mental level. -Zaps confidence -Adversely affects reasoning and mental accuity -causes laziness -made my mind race, and could not sleep well In other words, turns me into a vegetable, unable to produce much of anything. And I want to pay money for that? Think I'll pass!

We need "contextual" understand here please: "With Germany leading the surge at a remarkable 71% increase" That could mean 7.1 people, or 71000 people. Please update with actual bodies arriving, not percentages.

Isn't there a fine of 2000-5000 for not doing the report? And won't the Immigration computerized records "remember" you didn't do your 90 day? If your dance card isn't full (if you have time) maybe better to do it?!?

It is already quiet in the hotels... This will lead to more departures. And it will also lead to more cash in the system , and cash transactions.

Simply said "money goes to value."

6150 baht per week?!? 24600 per month? That is indeed "not noi." There must be some error? We pay our maid about 18000 per month, and she struggles with 2 kids.

Use your big brain! Don't let the drink control your thoughts and actions. Don't F with Thai people and lay low! Also, avoid the law and attorneys at all costs. Applies anywhere in the world. Common sense.

Somehow I think there is more to this story. Typically Thai people are respectful to people (including Farang), especially to elders. I looked at the video, and it seems as though the Thai neighbours are very angry with the Brits, almost as if they have been fighting for awhile. Doesn't seem like they just started this row. And taking the plants out of the garden and throwing them back to the Brits front gate. Another sign of an ongoing dispute. Yes, the physical beatings seem quite excessive. Jai yen yen!! Why can't we just get along?

There are at least two Sizzlers on Phuket, in Central and Robinson malls. We sometimes go for lunch. We split one of the specials, and the wife gets salad bar. About 700 baht all in. But local Thai/seafood restaurants are better and cheaper IMO!

Out of this world and out of your mind Just like it don't matter what you're leaving behind Trying to change your life you change your point of view But no matter what you do it's the same old you Wherever you go there you are You can run from yourself but you won't get far And another thing, you need to be located (positioned) where you have the best opportunity for success! In other words, live close to the spigot (Central Bank printing press). Easier in the western nations to catch and store coin.

Gold has been holding above $2000/oz for a couple months now. (Seems like $2K is the new support level). Small moves are just noise. Gold is a LONG TERM (years) investment in my opinion. You should do better holding than the paltry interest rates paid by the banks these days. I hold, and am pondering buying more. Yes, gold is held for emergencies.

We had the same problem with Mitsu pumps (tank rusting). We changed to Hitachi brand, which has a Stainless Steel tank. Also rusting. (Tank, and fasteners / bolts) We eventually changed to Hitachi TM-P turbine pump, as it is mostly plastic/fiber. It rocks! Dependable, high pressure. More money, but seems to be worth it, so far.

I was informed of this (65000/month transfer for retirement extension) by immigration this year. Have you actually done this, and were you approved?
