Nobody knows where he is, and that is how the authorities intend it to be and will go to extremes to make sure that remains the case. For everyone else, it's a guessing game.

A person as vain and full of his own self-importance as Thaksin, would make damn sure he had very regular health checks as a matter of course, just like his mate, Hun Sen does.

How ridiculous she was, reporting a child under the computer crime act because the kid didn't like the crappy school meals, instead of addressing the issue. Stupid woman! She needs to get a proper job!

Thais have this marvellous ability to be incensed by unimportant things but seem to have an uncanny knack of ignoring real issues in the country. Ridiculous.

It seems an accurate portrayal of the Bangkok night and a go go scene. I can't see what the big deal is.

How many times has Thailand implemented policies or stated what they were going to do only to change and do a U turn.

Yes, But not all this is confirmed yet at all and the Thai government has not come out and stated clearly what their intentions are regarding pensions, dual tax treaties etc, unless I missed something. There was one person on here giving' their take' on how it would pan out, and how they were reading it. They also added that was their view, and we must wait and see what the government has to say, which so far has been zilch. None of which were set in tablets of stone.

Why? https://www.nidirect.gov.uk/articles/working-past-state-pension-age

All this would overwhelm the primitive Thai tax authorities and bog them down forever. And nobody knows yet what is going to occur as information has been noticeable by its absence

Don't believe that for one minute. You are guessing methinks!

I would say the gentleman is absolutely spot on, stating out loud what everyone has known for decades. He should be applauded and government take note, but they won't, too wrapped up in their own selfish cocoons to care about future generations. Not crap at all, highly accurate in my view. Education improvements, you say? They've slipped again down the literacy world index yet again. More awareness and wokeness? You mean do-gooders spouting about trivial nonsense, and not letting parents be parents, or even worse, absolving them of their parental responsibilities. The latest in wokeness from the UK has been suggested by the Labour Party, and that is for teachers in schools to have classes in teaching children how to brush their teeth. My MAM will be turning in her grave at this drivel. What are the parents doing whilst teachers are showing their kids how to brush their teeth? Social media exposing the wrongs of the past, you say? And how much attention is the government taking? Zero!

I will.

So in your words, 5% is decent safe return. It's also widely and fairly easily achievable. In your words,' an awful lot of free money' based on 1,000,000 GBP. So the man with 800K GBP could get in interest alone he would have in the region of 136,000 baht a month without touching his capital. He can well afford his 30K condo rent a month in his mid-fifties age bracket plus his 2 massage women a week and have plenty left over to put aside. You have killed your own argument. What was your degree in? I don't think it was mathematics.

I think you talk nonsense and are full of it

Yeah, yeah, It's an anonymous forum, you can be anything you want to be. I'm a Nigerian Prince this week. You are actually trying to say, with or without a bloody degree, (which is completely irrelevant), that 800K GBP cash savings in a bank, no house equity involved, plus he'll have other income, is a paltry sum? Bloody nonsense!

Safe to say? Many don't have 800K THB for their extension of stay. Stupid question anyway from the OP, I have seen this asked here so often. Also, another' asking for a friend' post. It depends on lifestyle, does he drink and smoke, does he want nice cars, Health insurances, does he like trips back home, chances of getting stung in a relationship. A ridiculous amount of variables to form a realistic opinion or give a figure. And to give the impression somebody is going to bum along in life having sex twice a week, cooking their own breakfast in a condo, blah blah blah. What a mundane existence. It smacks of being in God's waiting room. Next he'll be joining those having beer for breakfast. And to cap another poster, 800K GBP is a tidy amount to have saved in their fifties in cash and anybody saying different, is talking out of their ASEAN NOW ass. How many times do we hear and get questions from guys surviving on pensions from many countries and nationalities? I'm 61 and have a number of UK properties and a substantial house here. I will continue along the path of semi retirement in Thailand whilst buying and selling properties in the UK, until it's time for me to leave this Earth. @advancebooking have you got 35 million stashed?.............

Plonker!.....

Email Cigna or speak to a different agent and do some more research regards Cigna and your policy online. It appears the representative you are speaking to isn't trying very hard to look for alternatives to your plight.

That would take thinking and planning.

Pattaya Prison had a separate room for them in the medical wing, years ago. There were only four, if memory serves, that were out-and-out lady boys. In Chonburi, they used to keep them altogether in one room/cell with the older and sick prisoners, basically, a larger prison so there were more of them. Most of them were in for drugs, theft or dishonesty. The authorities didn't want them sleeping in the same rooms as standard prisoners. Lady boys can cause havoc in mainstream prisons. They still sold their services at weekends in the yard, when the work factories were closed. Times may have changed.

Good job you aren't running the judiciary, then.

You interested in requesting visiting rights?

The kid was Russian according to reports. 16/17 is not a child.

To the posters saying they would like to hear his side of the coin, fair enough. However, he seems to have also done this behaviour state side as well with both a Filipina and a Chinese woman. It is alleged there are more witnesses coming forward that he has done this type of behaviour in SE Asia. It seems a pattern is forming, and he appears to be some kind of sociopath and then taking it a step further using violence in at least a couple of cases. This has all the hallmarks of a very dangerous individual. He then attempts to blame it on PTSD. Well, if he actually did ever serve in the Armed Forces, he should be getting the necessary help in his own country, not globe-trotting, terrorizing and stalking women. To then send sexual activity videos of his victims to their friends, work colleagues and families is vile behaviour, and is indefensible. This guy has major psychological problems.

16/17-year-olds can travel without parents. From the airlines website:- Some airlines permit this for kids as young as 12. When a child has reached this minimum age for traveling alone without unaccompanied-minor procedures, the airline does not require evidence of parental permission to travel alone. If the child has a passport, he or she can even travel internationally.
