Don't the new rules say no alcohol between 2-5 pm? So that would rule out any late lunches or early dinners. Do the rules mean no ordering drinks between 2-5 or no drinking between 2-5. So if you ordered a bottle of wine at 1.50 pm can you still drink it for an hour?

Surely if you price it low enough it will sell, Say if it's worth 2 million but you advertise it for 1 million. In my condo the policy is to cut the water after 6 months. After 1 to 2 years we would take it to Court to get authority to sell the condo and take any outstanding fees from the sale proceeds. I don't think it would be a criminal offence to walk away.

Now you see the true face of the EUSSR

Just my recent experience at dealerships. Found it impossible to get finance as a farang, especially with no working thai as a guarantor, even though my foreign income is more than enough. I didn't try banks but i suspect they are the same. In the past i have gotten loans from my UK bank and just transferred the money here. I can borrow in the UK for 3.0 % APR, here it would be 6-10%.

I believe i MAY win the lottery, just as likely.

Great looking bikes i would have the Bonneville Speedmaster but oh so expensive here in Thailand 605,000 baht. When i win the lottery.

I think the rules are deliberately vague so the Police can pick and choose who they "arrest".

The virus goes to sleep between 2 and 5. Unbelievable naivety.

Because China is run by a mad dictator who has promised to take Taiwan. He can not back down without losing face.

My account is with the Central Festival branch, because its always open, but i use the Jomtien beach branch to get my immigration letter, close to immigration.

I use Krungsri. The Mee Tae Dai savings accounts offers 1% interest but operates like a normal account with a debit card, internet banking etc. Only issue is a 50 baht charge on more than 2 withdrawals a month.

I've booked a hotel on Koh Chang in January. If i am required to take a test it is being cancelled.

Meanwhile in another story today the CCSA confirmed that all entertainment venues will remain closed until 16/1/22.

What a farce. At the Pattaya Firework Festival last night there were thousands of people sat within a few feet of each other eating and drinking, in effect an open air bar. No problem. Sorry the only problem was the massive queue at 7/11 to get drinks.

Half a dozen girls on Beach Road are a Covid risk but it's OK to have thousands of people mingle together for the Music and Firework Festivals.

So there is guaranteed to be a Covid risk for the Fireworks Display but it is still going ahead with thousands attending. But i can't have a glass of wine with my evening meal.

Not a public hospital

If it's on finance the lender will keep the blue book, so hard to sell. I guess the same applies to the OP, if they walk away from the loan they have no blue book.

If the truck was 400k and she paid 100k upfront then the payments 588k equate to 13.7% flat per year or over 27% APR, can't be from a bank surely, a loan shark? If she stops paying will they break her legs?

LoS - Land of Scams, what else would you expect.

Has anyone imported a mobile phone from China using Aliexpress. What sort of tax/duties would you pay, using post rather than DHL. Looking at an Oppo around 15,000 baht.

Two jabs AND a test. That will ensure that no one attends.

Reminds me of my first trip to Thailand. I went to visit the Grand Palace in Bangkok but a helpful thai told me it was "closed" but hey there is a taxi driver here who can help you get around.

Honda are the worst for discounts. You would think with the pand... they would be eager for more sales. They didn't offer me a single satang off. I got more when i bought the tgf a Honda motorbike.

Very wise, otherwise your stay will be a short one. For anyone that drinks it is much better to live on the central baht bus route.
