  1. I left thaïland three weeks ago for holidays.  Things have changed since then.  Immigration is asking for health certificate and insurance.

    What would happen when coming back to Thailand if you have a retirement visa or non immigrant O Visa, a health insurance of 400k baht and another covid-19 insurance bought from scb bank for 100k baht coverage?

    Is this acceptable to get back without hassle?

    Thank you.

    It probably doesn't apply to you.  

     

    90 day financial reporting (showing an updated bankbook with a balance of at least 800k to Immigration 90 days after receiving a retirement extension) only applies to people who use the 800k method for an extension based on retirement at Jomtien and three or four other Immigration Offices.  These four or five Immigration Offices have had the requirement for 800k retirement extensions made on or after March 1, 2019.

     

    There is no 90 day bankbook/financial reporting at Chaeng Wattana, Chiang Mai, Phuket, nor several other Offices. 

    Thanks.  Does it mean that after receiving the extension, when doing 90 days reporting, people should show again their Bank book?

    I think it's maybe you that lacks basic logical comparison skills as we're discussing comparative spend in Thailand per annum. 

     

    If @NCC1701A only spent the same amount of time in country as a single Indian, then yes he's worth about 0.6 in spend terms

     

    However, he spends that amount 52 weeks of the year so assuming the Indian being compared spends 2 weeks in Thailand then his total spend in Thailand is 13.3 x that of 1 x 2 week Indian vacationer.  Obviously if you want to compare him against 26 x 2 week visitors, then he's still "Worth" 13.3 x any single one or 0.6 of the 26 (Do the maths) 

     

    Is it really so difficult to comprehend? 

     

    Edit: Let me put it another way, a couple of times a year I do a Pattaya visit with 8-9 friends 2 of whom are (British) Indians (living in Singapore for many years) and our average spend across 4 days is around 80-100k (Let's say 20K per day, excluding flights & hotels which are paid upfront) & I can safely say that my Indian mates are more towards the right side of that scale (if not beyond) than us Caucasian Brits... But I can guarantee that if we were to move there full time mine & (a couple of the other guys) monthly budget would be 2-3 times theirs'.

     

    E.g One of my Caucasian mates has recently bought a Pool Villa at the Banyan Tree resort in Phuket, when in Pattaya he spends about 1/2 of what the 2 Indian guys spend when we're on a trip, hates buying ladies drinks but thinks nothing of cocktails & seafood buffet at the Hilton, difference being he would do that every week if he lived there

    You need to attend calculation and logic 101 courses.   You really don't know what you are talking about.  A 10 year kid would do better than you.

    5800 X 14 days = 81,2000

     

    my expenses approximately.  not including one time costs like motorcycle, scooter:

     

    90,000 X 12 months disposable income = 1,080,000.00

     

    1,080,000.00 / by 81,200 = 13.3

     

    so I am worth 13.3 Indian tourists. :clap2:

     

     

     

     

     

    One thing is sure you are not good at basic logic for comparison.

     

    5800 per day should be compared to your spending for one year by using same amount of time for Indians.

    An Indian would have spent 2,117,000 in one year

    You worth half of an Indian.   Nothing to be proud of.  Lol

    this is a joke right? i dont see the US doing something like this at all. What the hell would it have to do with exports from the US?

    Farmers pay people to spray who HAVE bery short lives. Thats fact because its dam obvious if you live amoungst farmers as we do.

    paying for weed removal isnt any different but just a little slower. 

    Not all weees need to be pulled either and can in fact help richen the sil when rotared or plowed for next harvest.

    This story is rubbish and jusy about someones wealth who isnt a farmer at all.

    You didn't get it.  The imported fruits and vegetables from US grew with use of these chemicals.  You can't forbid their use in Thailand and import products full of these poisons.  Just common sense.

    The fact that the Japanese picked up on it is key. The Thais would take more seriously Japanese expats as Japan is the largest investor in Thailand by far. 

     

    I'm sure the Japanese have been quietly lobbying the Thais. 

    Japenese will definitely intervene in smooth respectful productive manner instead of farangs with insulting, superior and lessons givers.  That makes huge difference.

    Thai immigration should screen every foreigner upon arrival in Thailand. Not only some nationalities. They should really do their job because some people just add foreigners a worst name... Our names are already bad because it Thai minds foreigners are making Thailand bad.. 

    You are totally right.  Actually most if not all foreigners pedophiles arrested are farangs.  We never hear Africans, Indians, blacks, Arabs involve in these vile crimes.

    You know my wife is the same....she says doesn't like their smell. Although she doesn't like muslims either but never really gave a reason.

    It sounds bigoted to my ears but what's strange is that she is a very loving, well-travelled and open minded woman and doesn't seem to harbour any other grudges or prejudices against other groupings of people, and rarely says a bad word about anyone.

    Oh she have just more than 2 billion people.  Very open minded.  While millions of them have probably better education and are cleaner than those who think like her.   It's called ignorance.

    Running a GoGo Bar years ago, we too had a sign, which the girls calling customers in held up when appropriate. It said, 'Members only' The reality was it was only shown to Arabs and Indians.

    Why? We had a lot of customers who said things like, "If she's been with an Indian or an Arab, I'm not interested in bar fining her."

    As 95% of our customers were ferangs, it was purely a business decision.

    OK, I'm waiting for the flak...

     

    It was not a business decision, it was the translation of bigotry of your farang customers and you made it a decision because you believe in same thing.   You said it clearly.

    'Thanks, a*****, for making us look stupid and low again.' Our reputation is set by the lowest scum found here. Drugs and little children, huh? Must be awful for the wife, from fame to complete loss of face and shame in just a few days. 

    Unfortunately this is specialty of too many farangs here in Thailand.   Too many people with criminal background, pedophiles, perverts of all kinds, illegal workers etc....   Those who are honest law obedient are victims of these parasites.

    And we all have to thank the Islamic terrorist for that, who made traveling a pain in the ass with all the security scrutinise time consuming and the billions that it costs the airlines which we the travelers ultimately pay for... 

    Not one of the listed products have been used or killed in terrorists attacks.   It's the collective paranoia.  There are people innocent people dying from bombing by criminal rogue terrorist states and nobody is even daring to condemn.

    There is no doubt that the farang demographic has changed dramatically since i moved here 19 years ago. Some posters on pdn are correct about Thais not being as friendly anymore towards foreigners. Can't blame them. Who wants to talk to theseุ tattooed scruffy bar knobs and their bar hooker companions? I dont know any farangs who will go near bar towns anymore. Even Swiss men are on the nose. A massage lady I know in my street says Swiss want sex and marriage with Thai girls but not for money. Free!

    I don't think that will work.  Lol

     

    Maybe these foreigners don't deserve any respect, many are perverts and criminals and looking down on locals, bringing nothing positive to this country.  No one will respect them anywhere.
