It seems to only be available over here in Thailand at a price , you will be very lucky if a company outside Thailand as insurance which covers covid -19.

So why would any one want to return to Thailand under these conditions. I for one won’t be returning until a democratic election is held according to international standards and covid vaccines are available. Looks like I nY never return to my house in Issan

You say nonsense but you have no idea really. An extensive post on facebook earlier from a patient in Thailand who recovered listing everything that happened and medication and hydroxychloriquin was listed, unless you were there you don't know. Get on facebook and go find it

Well if it was on Facebook it must be true. Obviously the USA is not using this miracle treatment with its  22,000 deaths and rising.

Yeah, that picture is suspect. A .22 and a shotgun.

I would have thought the so called experienced army veteran would have taken better designed weapons than a bolt action 22lr and 12ga pump action for his rampage. 
doubt he had M60 as the little weasel would struggle to carry it and 1 can of belted ammo. 
Thai army process M4 & 16’s etc which by design are more effective in these environments. Most people have a 22lr and 12ga behind the door in Thailand ( more common than u think) doubt he broke into base armoury, but we will never know. 

 

How many lives have been saved by catching this want a bee hells angles patch <deleted>.  
I say good riddance to him and his fellow 1% gang members. 
 

Nothing to see here. 

Redding made a mistake

I've spoken to many tourists and all say the Chinese are a disgusting race snorting and spitting in public being what most say and the state they leave the tables in public places .many have said they won't return as they are so rude .so Thailand you better take care of the Chinese as soon that's all you will have .if that happens you then lose the expats as no more Western bars and restaurants will be running as Chinese don't frequent them and other places are offering what Thailand used to be like .the Thailand of 20 years ago is long gone ,and young people just say well it's ok but won't come back .where as my generation were planning there next holiday well still here .Thailand has had it's time too many rules and regulations and a blatant dislike for the white European tourists by the powers that wanna be Chinese .

The Mongolians are up there with the Chinese for being disgusting. 

Thailand has changed so much in the last 10 or so years, for worst I fear and not going to get any better soon.

In the 60's and 70's Australia had one of the worst road tolls in the world . Thousands were  pissed while driving and speeding home from the pub. A young aussie soldier stood a better chance of surviving  a tour of Vietnam than the roads of NSW and Victoria, in particular.The police clamped down severely and everyone got the message.  Our road toll is now one of the lowest in the world.

 

Never happen here.  Police are useless. Thais people are irresponsible. Thais couldnt be bothered  doing a proper test.  No-one cares . You die - you got to buddha and re encarnate as a flower, butterfly or maybe a soi dog!!

This is Thailand. Always.

Not mention soi dog with rabies 

Community is better off with clowns like this permanently off the roads.

Foreigner found murdered in Udon Thani woods, say Thai media

 

Picture: Sanook

 

Thai media Sanook have reported that the body of a 40 to 50 year old man found in a large area of waste ground in central Udon Thani is that of a foreigner.

 

And they said that a forensic examination indicates that he was murdered.

 

The body had been in a five rai area of krathin trees for about two weeks. Evidence that the man had been in Koh Samui was found on the body along with a picture of another foreigner.

 

There was also a room key and a cigarette packet.

 

It is not known who he is.

 

The skin and hair on the skull was now missing exposing the skull bones.

 

A yellow leather ligature was around the neck. The same kind of strap had been used to tie the feet together.

 

They said that the man had been well dressed in denim with a t-shirt. A Samsung phone, Sony MPC player and zip up cloth wallet were all found with the body. There was 20 baht in the wallet.

 

A forensic examination revealed a double devil's head tattoo on the stomach area and broken top and bottom teeth.

 

Locals said that three vagrants who buy and sell second hand goods in the area and who sleep out there had disappeared recently.

 

The police want to speak to them but are also keeping an open mind suggesting that the body may have been carried and dumped there.

 

They are using CCTV in the area to try and get a lead.

 

The area is nearby Watananuwong Road in the Tetsaban area. The body was found close to a wall adjoining a cushion factory.

Saying it’s a murder is bad for tourism, will later be classed as a suicide, no impact to the tourist dollar, case closed. 

RIP

Nort sure how their iPhone google maps will work in caves.

Sounds a little odd. Unless a genuine mistake has been made, I suspect there is more to this story than we are being told. I lived in Oz for 7 years and never heard of Permanent residence being cancelled unless you were convicted of something fairly serious.

Australian immigration must have reasonable grounds to cancel his visa, as their decision has to stand up to scrutiny in an appeals hearing. 

Obviously he is not telling the truth interms of his good standing in the community and past or current convictions. 

Motorcycle gangs are just that “gangs” and the rebel’s are up their when it comes to illegal activities in Australia and overseas including Thailand. 

I say good luck to him in Thailand and good riddons From Australia 

Do these guys not read there own figures... Deaths over the New Year were quite a bit up on last year...And hey what about the rest of the year !!

They just never tire of slapping each other on the back. Negativity here slows down promotions and one's advancement in Thailand.

Absolutely BS, I can see big pay rises for the clowns that published this BS

Just seen the above video. Agree completely with the above poster. What is the news story here? Guys on the scooter completely at fault. As are the kid's families once they see the above evidence. They should all be nicked. I aint a fan of the cops (in any country), but in this instance, no blame apportioned.

If it is proved they were drug dealers, then both lads got their just deserve in the end.

Wife bought recently, and although I was not involved, I understand there was a visit and survey by the land office to confirm the boundary and markers, followed 2/3 months or so later by transfer of chanote into the name of my wife, payment by my wife if I recall correctly would work out at 2% of the land value, certainly no more than 2.5%

Hi,

Land surveyed and boundary markers placed all ready.

Wife will be going into land office next week to complete transfer, yesterday we were quoted a fee of 5% and on top of that if you want it all to go through smoothly 10,000bhat would be required (never going to happen).

Wife has been briefed, pay no more than 2% transfer fee, and if bribe mentioned again to walk away.

I really don't care about losing money that I have all ready paid too date, its a matter of principal, I will not pay bribe to a government official, simple as that.

Even phoned a English speaking local lawyer, and she tried to tell me what I'm being charged is normal, I guess if I spoke thai it would have been a different outcome.

Land owner and government official can fight it out, all I know is the land owner is heavily indebt with local bank and about to lose his land if he doesn't pay back money.

Worst case scenario, I'm out of pocket a few dollars, farmer losses his farm in small village, government official goes hungry. And a guarantee I will push this up the food chain as far as I can and see what's happen.

The up side, next week I get to travel and look for another property to buy in lovely north east Thailand.

Cant wait till next week to see how it all plays out.

Hi,

Sure this has been dealt with before, but I'm unable to locate a thread with a definitive answer relevant to 2015

I'm in the process of purchasing 6 rai in north east Thailand, of course the property will be in my wife's name but we have been asked to pay fees that I believe are not correct, or at best just a ripoff.

it is my understanding there are three (3) fees associated with purchasing and selling land

Thailand Property Taxes

Transfer fee 2% of the registered value of the property ( paid by purchaser) Stamp Duty 0.5% of registered value. Only payable if exempt from business tax (Responsibility of seller, if applicable) Withholding tax 1% of the appraised value or registered sale value of the property (whichever is higher and if the seller is a company). If the seller is an individual, withholding tax is calculated at a progressive rate based on the appraisal value of the property. (Responsibility of seller, if applicable) Business tax 3.3% of the appraised value or registered sale value of the property (whichever is higher). This applies to both individuals and companies.(Responsibility of seller, if applicable)

Today advised that the cost of transfer fee when it takes place in the district lands office will be 5% of assessed land value, looks like the seller wants me to cough up all his tax obligations.

Am I correct in saying my legal obligations under Thai tax rules for land transfer fees is capped at 2% and all other applicable costs are sole responsibility of the seller unless prior arrangements are made?

Has any one recently purchased land in NE Thailand, if so what was your experiences and outcomes.

Regard's,

Busa
