    What can the UK provide in terms of labor that Thai people can not already do?  Thailand already has jam.

    That statement just shows what you know about Thailand.....  If it wasn't for Britain Thailand would of been colonized a long time ago....As for labour and expertise...... well...... where do i start...... Ah yes... The Chief of Police, the Admiral of the Thai Navy, most of the Navys Captains........Right up to management and labour on my last project on Suvarnabhumi......    etc.etc,etc......

    To become a pilot you need special skills, invest tons of money into your education, and be lucky enough to find a job once you graduate and be able to pay back all your loans. To become a taxi driver you need to rent a car for 1,000 baht a day. 

     

    Sure you can pay pilots less, until they fly your aircraft into a mountain (Lufthansa) or disappear off radar with your millions costing airplane (Malaysian Airlines). I hope the pilot flying my plane gets paid enough, just as i hope the surgeon who will operate on me has a comfortable life outside of work. 

    Commercial pilot, two years training....... Engineer, five.......  As my pilot friend says..... " What do you drive, taxi or bus " ?

    That was PCP. Ketamine is an anaesthetic for humans.

    Nazi fact checker !...Ketamine is a dissociative anesthetic used in human anesthesia and veterinary medicine. Dissociative drugs are hallucinogens that cause a person to feel detached from reality. Much of the ketamine sold on the street has been diverted from veterinarians’ offices. Ketamine’s chemical structure and mechanism of action are similar to those of PCP.[1]

    What about the safety and security implications? A tourist has to declare and prove significant cash assets in the bank, complete with bank statements, prior to and possibly upon entry to a foreign country. Anyone in possession of that information could easily communicate it to others, and the tourist then becomes a prime target (with known cash assets) ripe for robbery, fraud, kidnapping, or other crimes. I would definitely forego a visit to any country with such a requirement -- especially a place with widespread crime and corruption.

    Yeah there used to be a lovely credit card scam doing just that from a very high "Power" duty free mob....... Credit card details for everyone ..........  lovely......

    I agree - for all the bleating on TV about how tough retirees have it, the requirements are very reasonable. Sure, there is paperwork and you need some money in the bank, but try applying for residency in any Western country and see how that goes. Some other Asian countries are easier, but they don’t offer the lifestyle, infrastructure etc of Thailand. 

    Residency ?   I know loads of Thais with western residency, i know very few westerners with Thai residency... and by the way, Thailand is expensive, unfriendly, difficult, almost impossible to keep up with immigration demands, etc, etc.......Nah, i knew the old Thailand, this at the moment is the worst i've seen in thirty years, thankfully i'll predict a change very shortly before the whole place goes down the toilet.......   The trouble is there's very few people left who knew the old wonderful Thailand.........   Believe me, Thailand's done until there's a massive change in management.....
