  1. 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
  2. Which means in theory a train could go from Singapore to London (have to rejig it though on the way)
  3. 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
  4. Are the fish happy to have some shade ? Why build on water ? higher costs = higher commissions
  5. 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
  6. 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
  7. I said it 6 months ago & will say it again, If I can welcome you into our bar in Bangkok openly for a Christmas drink we will all be very lucky. What we are scared of is opening for a month & then "Bang" close us down for a 4th time
  8. 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
  9. I am sure a call to the the French Embassy would be your most reliable source of info. Yiu are still stuck at this time with quarantine on your return though
  10. Very normal, just renew your WP when due if circumstances are the same
  11. 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
  12. Until the real airlines start proper scheduled flights into Bangkok from Europe Hua Hin will have about as much luck as Bangkok in a tourist season
  13. Here we go again. You just cannot tell them to slow down on wet roads, they think you are crazy
  14. All I know is NEVER EVER let your overseas bank do the conversion to Baht. The big 5 Thai banks will give you a far better rate than the robbing banks overseas
  15. What he means is that "there is no show of entertainment venues opening this year." Why can the man not call a spade a spade & not tell porkies all the time
  16. I bet you that I will not be able to spend Christmas Eve in my favourite bar in Bangkok & enjoy a beer openly
  17. 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
  18. I am now double jabbed with AZ with a very official certificate along with having a Covid test in the middle at a cost to me ,,,,,,nothing Thai Government paid for it all which I think is commendable 8.000 Bht for a tourist is acceptable to me
  19. Hope he has just gone walkabout, but does not sound good
  20. 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
  21. If there is no tax payable at source country for your income brought into Thailand & you pay tax here then it should not have any bearing on PR. If you check the tax levels here (fairly generous ) just keep your imported level below the threshhold where you are comfortable.
  22. 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
