NACC investigate Thaksin over losses at Thai Airways
natway09 replied to webfact's topic in Thailand News
Although I can see no useful purpose in this inquiry while they are at it how about investigating Thaksin's cronies who supplied fittings for Suvarnabhumi Airport, eg; the tiles supplied are about 50% of the quality as specified & paid for at the higher price -
Huge lynching mob attack murderer of woman during reenactment
natway09 replied to webfact's topic in Eastern Thailand
The International Criminal Justice Commission said that reenactments serve no useful purpose (except of course to get lynched) but Thailand's justice system not being tied to any international system has not heard yet. One day they will catch up like their ability to use Interpol correctly -

Only yesterday when the Health Ministry,s Boss was asked about opening ha evaded all questions on the subject & said was not up to him. Today, he is shouting his big mouth off about the subject which is all just more verbal diarrhea -

Still very cheap by International norms. If you can afford to run aircon 18 hours a day, you can afford or living in the wrong accommodation -
Retiring to Thailand
natway09 replied to Mario Cosmopolite's topic in Thai Visas, Residency, and Work Permits
Listen to all the grizzles on here & do your own homework. I lived in KL for 4 years & you can live a lot cheaper & better here. Immigration here is not as bad as the soothsayers say & requires a presence once a year for 3 hours at maximum. 90 day reporting can be done by remote or agent. My visa category & extension been renewed 30 times without hassles. There is talk of having to have 1mil in the bank, up from 800,000 Bht but am sure that would not worry you (not like some) But yes, the Health Insurance question here can be a worry as you need in case reliable cover in something really serious happens so shop around for that. I cannot help in that regard as have had mine for 25 years & guaranteed for life. so have never looked hard, but I now only have "inpatient " & the private hospitals are good quality & cheaper than Malaysia for the smaller stuff.. The duty on "personal possessions " should not be too bad but sell your vehicle(s) & rebuy here. It is just not worth the hassle even if an agent told you he could arrange Best of Luck -

Different dates for WORK permit and Visa

Very normal, just renew your WP when due if circumstances are the same -
I live in a 25 year old condo, with a beautiful pool buy before the days of space saving, ie, the pool is on the ground. On checking the concrete pillars & structural beams the reo is nearly twice the size of present day Hi rises & the concrete (in the structural pillars is close to undrillable. All the fill in walls are only the small bricks but totally non load bearing & just to keep the weather & neighbours out. It will last another 50 years for sure without an earthquake, God forbid

Koh Samui: Immigration nab Hungarian widow on 4,165 day overstay
natway09 replied to webfact's topic in Koh Samui News
The Immigration Boss should be hanging his head in shame not plastering this all over the news. The system is obviously broken or was never fixed in the first place. Do they really have any idea of just how many overstayers there are? Dob in the wrong person & get a bounty on your head,,,,,,no thanks -

Patong bars defy national order to open as ’restaurants’

Bangkok has been the same all along for 5 that I know of. The BIB have to pay their HP. I am not "brave enough" to open -
Just for interest you cannot insure your business here against fire unless you own the building. I know I sound like a stuck record but our successful small bar would be OK if the greedy Landlords would sharpen their pencil. As it is I think it is doomed
