Me too, i use cash for everything. Would never use a card in Thailand. BTW can they withdraw 34.15 from an ATM, thought the minimum for 100 baht.

Just look at the UK nearly all vaccinated but 41,000 C cases a day. 'nuff said.

We were doing some shopping in Central Festival Pattaya a few weeks back. As it happens they were doing vaccinations on the 6th Floor. My tgf just walked up with no appointment and got her first jab, Sinovac.

chad3000 - a gree with most of your points but not the dental service. I think the dentists here are good and reasonably priced but then i am coming from the abysmal dental service in the UK.

So no Indians or Chinese then

Just get the brown envelope ready, you can build 100 stories.

Gold ha ha. Price 2011 $1750, price 2021 $1750. Just put your million under the mattress.

Agreed. Rolexs are just for pretentious people who want to say "look at me i am stupid enough to spend 10,000 on a watch".

Agreed you can beat the Aerox for VFM and great for around town. Look no further.

Just a joke right. Who is going to fly 10,000 kms for that ?

I did a transfer on Thursday to Bangkok Bank. Checked the book today, NOT shown as a FTT. Thanks WISE there goes my annual extension !!

Lenovos are complete <deleted>, mine did the same after 18 months. Threw it out.

I still don't understand this. I thought the Wise system worked as follows. You transfer the money to them, in my case GBP in the UK. They then instructed their Thai bank to send you the money in baht to your thai bank. The money then goes into your thai bank. How can that happen instantaneously?

That's the problem with the 65k a month method. You only need one month not to show as an international transfer and there goes your extension visa.

So the Covid impact in Thailand @ 10,000 cases a day and 113 deaths is way below that of the UK 40,000 cases a day and 143 deaths, yet the UK has double the vaccination rate of Thailand. What does that tell you?

Its the same in China, haven't they got 50 million empty apartments just bought for investments. Even when Thailand opens up i can't see some of these massive condos they are building being filled up with residents. Look at Copacabana in Jomtien 1600 units selling at 140,000 baht a sqm. How many farangs will be buying those?

These are just the rich Chinese moving their money off shore. I doubt they spend much in the local bar or restaurant.

Exactly, Chataburi Province has just introduced a total ban on alcohol sales after a rise in C cases.

Amazing Thailand, do they think this stops people

I agree, if it is a condition of employment in your contract when you are employed, fair enough you have the option to accept or not. But to add it retrospectively after you have maybe left a previous job is a no no in my book.

Perhaps the very wealthy Chang Corporation could donate a few bob for the namesake.

Hard to believe people send what 20,000 baht on trust when they can just walk into a shop and buy a new phone for that.

Exactly, they are not going to park there and walk to Beach road or get a bus. It will only be used for T21 parking, and there is enough already.

What restaurants have live music?

I am quoting prices for 5 litres not 3.
