The USA and uk are just 2 examples of countries losing their grip on immigration. Thailand has a fairly firm grip(except For Myanmar) on immigration. Thailand will still want those with sufficient money to stay longer term, particularly those who are educating their children here, employing local people and patronizing the private health care systems. Maybe it will be very different for the low Enders with modest incomes.

Does the British Embassy offer this service?

While you are alive.suggest you put this pension in a QROP. That way it’s outside of uk jurisdiction so no tax liability and the pot will remain intact. Many safe companies out there. I did this 15 years ago and no regrets, yet!

Status symbol.

Pay people a living wage so they don’t need to strike.similar problems in the uk too about to begin with strikes at uk passport offices. Staff there have had no pay rises for several years and inflation etc eroding wages. Hope this post and the ones above won’t lead to people looking for forged passports!

A vital point re leadership, but ASEAN leaders also lacking in a decisive leadership plan.. Technology exists in the form of Mulcher machines as an alternative to burning. Govt should encourage this and the sugar industry division forced to use some of their massive profits to fund mulchers. Burning is banned in Europe so why can’t Thailand do likewise to correct such dangerous practices or am I just naive?

Thailand is not a signatory to the 1951 convention on refugees.

Or mentally disturbed. Not the acceptable behaviour for a Thai.

Thailand is not a signatory of the UN convention on refugees. Most unfortunate as many Burmese are fleeing persecution for reasons outlined in the UN definition.

Hope you bought some gold or silver as fiat currencies are on their way out due to the worlds unsustainable levels of debt.

Thais I know keep a lot in gold rather than fiat currencies.

Evidence of this?

Wait til it’s officially announced in The Royal Gazette.

Good luck to the guy. Life is too short to be miserable all the time. Great thread by the way.

A classic example of why marriage cannot provide all physical, emotional and economic needs.

Also many stores now need a 4 digit chip and Pin no. Apple do.

Who else but Dixon of Dock Green.

Such a silly post in response to a serious case.

Hope he has usufruct title on the deeds. That way he can use the house for the rest of his life. That way if his wife predeceases him he has right of use. He will likely leave the island after this theft and damage. Hope the cops can do a thorough job.

In the uk, and perhaps other countries, the pedestrian has the right of way at ALL times. Maybe Thailand could consider adding this rule in their Highway Code and test.

.. sad to be abandoned like this. Poor woman. Hope her govt. will take over and resolve the case.

Consider installing a few solar panels linked up to your pump for some added warmth.

The festering armpit of Thailand.

Wretched place to visit.
