Renting advice
tonray replied to Thai Visa Member 999999's topic in Real Estate, Housing, House and Land Ownership
Come to BKK...get a hotel for a week or two and find a place you like. Why would you pay up front...there are so many vacancies now it's ridiculous to kowtow to any demands made by a landlord. -
Yeah...MBK is the kind of place you go to when you first come to Bangkok (just because everyone says you must go) and then never again because it's just a bunch of stalls with people preying on unsuspecting tourists or newcomers.
-
Yeah...when I lived just across the river, I used to spend my Sunday afternoons right in that area. Love it...miss it...
-
I lived in BKK for 5 years before moving to the suburbs of Nonthaburi (GF and I share townhouse). I intend to rent/buy a condo in BKK as a second home only because I miss it so much....gardening and the peace and solitude that a gated MooBaan offers is great but there is nothing like a city's heart beating 24 hours a day...and I'm nont even talking about nightlife...just a more scintillating environment to live in.

Central Group to buy famous department store chain Selfridges
tonray replied to webfact's topic in Thailand News
GF is a store manager....they have eliminated employee bonuses for 3 years, cajoled manager level staff to buy stock at IPO (at 42...dropped immediately after IPO) and use IPO proceeds to expand internationally, while treating staff like cattle here. Some 20+ store managers have quit without cause nationwide in the past year, when asked in a meeting about re-instating bonuses as everyone was working extra during Covid (supermarkets never closed but now had additional burden of online + sterilization duties) they were told "you know where the door is" (paraphrasing....whatver the Thai version of that is. ) -
Yeah..I was there girl watching just today...and it was fabulous.. BTW there's a halfway decent doner kebab sandwich stall right near the Tops market take away area..give it a try

Bank book and bank statement ?

Not only that, in many cases they will not even pursue accident invstigations unless paid to do so. GF was hit from behind at a light by moto, she jumped out and snapped a pic of driver, bike and plate # before he sped off. Local police filed report for insurance and told her they would only go after him if she paid them 3000 baht to do so for their trouble !

The two are as different as two different societies, in that you are correct.

I look forward to reading your scientific research paper, in which journal will you be publishing ?

Your bank Rabbit card should work on the BTS (not the MRT) Active lines here: Not sure about the ferries...but I believe they are open now...I remember it was about 3 baht. last year cash. Many major tourist places are open but you may find them uncrowded and appealing...better wait for the crowds to make it awful to visit for an authentic experience (:)) And you don't need an MRT card ...you can buy tokens at the machines
