Hi Guys, I have a pal who now wishes to stay long term in Thailand. He is 61 years old. He wishes to rent one of my houses. He requests members please to assist with information, so he can know his options. He has 50K GBP but he doesn't want to use 800K locked up for want of better words. He is currently on a 45 day entry free clearance as a UK resident. He does have funds from a pension to support himself but they don't quite reach the threshold for the monthly method annual retirement extension. I haven't a clue so I seek advice here, all I have ever done is the 800K method. We are, as many of you know, Kalasin based.

Well I have

I could buy and sell you

I don't have any misfortune. Financially very stable as certain member's of this board know, as they know me personally. However, I call a spade a spade and it isn't all Valhalla here. I speak Thai and Lao, and no they are not the same language and I fully understand the disgusting things they say when they are not aware of my language skills so no bitterness, just the truth. And it works both ways. And before the comments come " if you don't like it leave" I am in a relationship of over 26 years. I have educated two girls whose father abandoned them ( family of my partner) I an going nowhere. It isn't all roses here and it isnt all roses in any country, but I wish some of you would stop saying how wonderful life is here and ignoring a lot of the filthy goings on. Westerners are not to blame for Thailand and its misfortunes. It's a deliberate diversion from those in power to cover up their own failures.

That's the one!

Plenty mister. I am a businessman who flies back and forth to the UK frequently. I see it with my own eyes. Never mind evidence of this

Always, always blame the foreigners. Camel dung. Look in the mirror Thailand

I have an opinion on this. Pieces of camel dung. Quit Pro Quo. And UK starts deporting the Thai prostitutes who marry gullible Brits and then divorce them as soon as they gain UK residency. They then resort to growing weed, using massage as a " front" to sell sex etc. Let's throw them out of the UK.

You cant beat a ' crackdown ' by the RTP. Must have been hours I have been waiting for one!

I do it regularly and I have been stopped as my suitcase has often looked like a mini version of Tesco express. They have never said anything about 4 or 5 kilos of cheese, only one time when they stopped me they queried what the HP brown sauce was, as it had come up on the scanners and I think that they thought they were bottles of spirits

Only the Pattaya bar fly beer bellies and TVF conspiracy theories.

Who cares who is offended , this is TVF, the super sleuths on here never allow the truth to get in the way of a good conspiracy theory!

Hotel managers and supermarket managers in Thailand think its their job to sit in an office and dress nice. They feel it is beneath their status to involve themselves in the mundane aspects of their job!

A friend of mine, now an elderly Thai lady that had three restaurants in Northern England said that to me a long time ago. She hailed from Korat and said ' The problem with most Thais in the labour force, is that they have no work ethic ' Those were her exact words.

Do they take on older English guys? ???? Heard good reports about Sweden and met a few!

Are you suggesting a 7 day working week? ????

Tell your ' friend ' to come up with a suitable suggestion that is convenient for you both. Threatening you with police, which won't do any good, over 1500 baht? You need to re evaluate your friendship!

Both of which are in short supply over here!

Not as much as the humiliation to us if they clean us out of funds in some scam!

Cambodian staff in three and four star hotels blow Thais out of the water for friendliness, information, English skills, manners and a genuine wish to assist you as a tourist.

???????????? I agree! They've already EARNED their stripes!

Me! for a start.

Not joking, The English guy sounds like the one who called me. British with London accent. Very animated and high pressure sales pitch and constantly calling me by my first name as though we went to school together.

Trending on you tube right now by an American who knows him, this guy has a massive history of ' recreational drugs and alcohol abuse ' and apparently was well known for it, amongst his circle of friends. Apparently this took place in house owned by another friend, not the deceased, who isn't in Thailand at the moment.

Sorry, my computer seems to be getting bombarded with ads etc all over the place on this site and then when I try to clear them, it posts my uncompleted thread.
