Bye bye Thailand, thanks for nothing!
I very much doubt they will tax foreign pensions that have already been taxed or funds transferred to buy condos. If they did it would collapse the condo market and push hundreds of thousands out of the country (with their 800k).

Residents refusing to pay maintenance in gated village.
We have a constant battle at my condo with non payers but take a firm line and take them to Court. Eventually they have to pay up but it can take 2-3 years. The stupid thing is they have to pay plus big penalties. We got 1.6 million baht in penalties last year. Why not just pay on time !!

Options: Transferring Funds From UK For Condo Purchase - Advice Needed
I am sure SWIFT payments can be made over 10k (i did) upto the amount you require. And ALWAYS send Sterling and get Bangkok Bank to do the conversion. Can WISE give you the necessary documents to satisfy the Land Office. WISE also have a percentage fee so for a large amount is likely to be more expensive.

Old Geezers getting tattoos
I would be really interested to know why people have tattoos. I can understand maybe if it's your love's name or your football team but just a big black blob, which most are ! Trying to look hard? rather pathetic.

Pattaya Police Not Enforcing Pedestrain Crosswalk Light Violations
I never use the pedestrian cross walks, the most dangerous place to cross the road. I have been nearly run down 3 times using them. Just get an open stretch of road and cross when it's clear.
