Yet again Thailand proves the doubters wrong

Investors seemingly are plowing money in to the Financial markets now

In the hope of the new vaccine  which will have the foreign tourists arriving back in their droves

What year and will the Quarantine restrictions be lifted ect 

They are a bit over confident in my option  but this is Thailand 

I am lost for words 

First of the many departures no tourists no business  especially if dependant on Foreigners

Well its good to read the help the British Embassy is providing in helping out fellow Brits here in Thailand

At least positive news outwaying the negativity usually given by a few

On here

Sorry  but why was the Russian making a comment on a Thai protest

Only asking for trouble  

What a plonker comes to mind none of his business 

Feel for his wife and kid to see the outcome 

I think domestic tourism is fine for restaurants  and hotels in the beach resorts ect

places like Pattaya  depend on the bar scene which is more a foreign tourist thing 

So the bar owners are now dependant on the retired expats 

If they hava  to wait until 2022  for foreign tourists to return most will be out of business by then 

I found Tesco Lotus very good for shopping

And hopefully it will continue under the new management 

A satisfied customer????

Well how many times have we read about people not having medical insurance 

Here in Thailand

sorry but he has no  valid reasons or excuses  for not having insurance cover

Ie over 70 ect

Luckily his family can count on the Go Fund Me appeal

Anyone reading this and don't have insurance cover

should seriously have a rethink

I am pretty confident this is happening all over Thailand 

They are unlucky to be caught out if its correct on them not having  work permits

Hope the authorities  clamp down on the school directors as well

We seem to be getting different scenarios of what tourists are coming from different countries changes every week

Why don't they wake up and smell the coffee 

There are no tourists  arriving  in the coming weeks months ect

No mention if he still had the 2  gold baht weight on him when arrested

You must have plenty of money to spend throwing up good beer or drinks every night 

What are you doing in Thailand take it  you aren't working as to busy throwing up in the evenings would be incapable of turning up for work the following mornings 

I can recall the times this has been mentioned through the years on Thai Visa

plus the surveys and if I recall years ago there was a  petition where you put your name on to the British Government requesting the frozen pensions were lifted for retirees in Thailand 

Flogging a dead horse seems to be the answer as its not going to happen

Well looking at child porn at age 87 beggars belief 

Saying he could face 5 years in jail or a 100,000  baht  fine

I think we know what he will do pay the fine then he should be deported  back  to Norway

Well with Boris announcing  a months lockdown over the Corivirus from next Thursday  and Brexit talks not going well

Plus the American election dependant who wins how the $ does

I think the pound  is going to have a interesting time coming up

I am getting buried at sea with six Pall bearers 

people who have upset me  here in Thailand 

Well thats a new one getting a Teaching visa without qualifications 

And the Government okaying it as well

Waiting for the next bright idea 

I would say a lot of us expats retired and married  with family

Have already invested most of our money in a house  ect

So could proberly not afford to move out the country

A few expats will no doubt have amoan about wanting to relocate when in fact its mostly talk

Where are these tourists coming from France Germany and the UK now .locking down plus more countries in Europe Spain Italy ect

The USA  and others getting  worse as well

Looks like we are back to depending on the Chinese coming again
