  1. I hope you haven’t told her ? If you have, say that it was finally just a small sum. She can’t check. Keep no documents at home’, you can leave them with your solliciter in GB. Invest your inheritance, and keep it for future need, illness .Better safe than sorry. The money was kindly left to you, look after it.

  2. I stayed a long time on Phuket, Kata, when it was quiet !!! When I left, about 10 years ago, there were already a lot of break ins in Chalong and Rawai. Also, no one drove late at night because of gangs pushing you off your bike to rob you, and there were a few rapes around N’ai Harn, Prom Thep. So I wouldn’t say it was something new. I was offered a lovely house down Fisherman’s Way, but refused as I was worried of the break ins.

  3. So, just to confirm I understood right. My condo office always does the tm30 when I arrive. They give me a copy with my name and date arrived on it. I put this copy in my passport. After 2 months I ask for an extension 30 days, this copy is accepted by Jomtien ?? 

     

    In the past, the office have given me the copy, AND I have been to Jomtien and done it myself, and got the Notification slip stapled into my  passport !! So, I don’t need to go myself any moré  ??

     

  4. I will never forget a driver physically hitting and pushing a foreigner to make him move up, where  everyone was already packed so tight you could hardly breathe ! His kids were looking on visibly upset,  it was a disgusting  scene !! The screaming cursing woman at the bus stop in front of the school , direction Jomtien, should also be sacked, she’s a shame to all thailand !

  5. On a larger scale the op makes sense. It’s happened all over the world, trade drops, tourist numbers dwindle enough to make the authorities sit up. Only then will something be done to attract more tourists. I don’t think it would help the expat situation though.

  6. Maybe they are put off by the fact that after doing the paperwork online, you still have to go to London to get the visa.?  France has the same problem, do it all online and then go to Paris , which is 900 km from where I live, take a flight and maybe pay 2 nights hotel !!!! I don’t bother and sort it out once over there. Why spend around 300 + euros on a visa ?
