Setting up a company that does nothing - just owns some land, is a potential long-term burden. I did this 15 years ago and bore the costs of set up plus annual accounting and auditing fees. Two years ago, after the company had conducted no business other than owning the land and paying the accountants for 13 years; I was informed by the local government that unless the company started to function as a company should, with cash flows and transactions, then the company would be deemed inactive and be forced to close. I didn't bother to contest this - I had enough of accountant's fees!

Many companies will either refuse to insure you once you are over 70 - or put so many restrictions on your policy as to make the insurance inadequate. Not useful for the OP but if you apply at 69 you can get cover well past 70 I got 20 years (until 89) with not much in the way of restrictions with Thai Life. Downside is all the documentation is in Thai and there's a whole book to translate! If you are approaching 70 do it now - the company admitted they would have declined to insure me if I had applied and not completed the policy before my 70th birthday; stating "those are our rules".

I only eat Thai food - there is no deterioration in any of the restaurants I eat in. Why go to another country and complain about the price and quality of food when you choose a cuisine that uses imported ingredients, or ones the local population don't use?

Not the router's fault Ditch the paranoia, your affliction is psychosomatic. As the Thais would say: You think too much!

And again!

There is no "lost evidence" Go and read it online Oops - sorry, you only accept evidence that supports the view and lies of your Orange Messiah.

Do you believe everything that comes out of the deluded mouth of the orange one? Do you not have the intelligence to go online and read the whole lot? Or are you so wrapped up in the Magaverse that you can no longer do any checking for yourself?

It is not any other democracy - it is in America where vast sums of money are spent every four years on a complete clown show of lies, exaggeration and childish name calling. The winner then spends the next two years preparing for the mid-terms, rather than actually doing anything for the people by way of governing. Reality shows have become the new reality in the USA!

You missed the point. Modern synthetics wick the sweat away from the skin - far healthier and far more comfortable. Polyester is relatively inert and very few individuals are allergic to polyester, most have some reaction to bacteria that develop in sweat-soaked cotton, or chemicals from washing powder and softener retained by poor rinsing. Basic polyester is sweaty and uncomfortable, wicking polyester is a whole different ball game - give it a try and you will see.

Ditch the cotton T shirts - you complain of a sweaty belly and the colour changing. Switch to wicking polyester (goes under many labels) does not fade, much more comfortable, no ironing required, much more hygienic. Try one and you won't go back.

From Krabi to Koh Samui, Lomprayah have the best service as they organise all the transfers. Public buses run from station to station and there is always a disconnect when you wish to switch to a ferry or other form of transport. They also appear to have more modern buses and slightly better controlled drivers

Just returned from a full spine MRI at Wattanapat Hospital in Trang. Quoted 22k Advised by my referring doctor to question the price and inform them that I was resident in Thailand. Paid 11.2k after showing my retirement visa. Purpose of the scan was to monitor spinal stenosis and the site of a 2-year-old herniated disc. Quality of the scan was fine (sadly my spine is not!) Prices can be very different when you move away from hospitals in tourist areas

I just completed this quiz. My Score 70/100 My Time 117 seconds
