If you are so concerned why don't you ask the golf club if you can play without a caddie . Make sure you pay for a caddie anyway so as not to put her out of a job !  She is probably at far more risk than you.

They would never allow that. You MUST have a caddy whether you want one or not.

And if they they did allow that, the caddy would still be looking for the tip.

They should watch some Thai news on TV then because there is enough info there.

They're probably glued to soaps or workpoint tv.

Australia just had 94 new Covid-19 cases in one day taking the total infections to 250 and Thailand is telling us there is only 82 in a country with such a huge population to me says they are just not testing enough or not releasing the real figures

Not many tests because they are asking ridiculous (5K +) figure to be tested.

Ablutions on the beaches!!!

They have them in Pattaya - ever looked at the colour of the water in the bay ?????

My wife received a letter from the local council with an attachment showing details of our house (in her name) including area and the structural materials (concrete)

A call to the council confirmed that she only need respond if any of the details are incorrect, however all looks in order.

The house is probably worth 3 - 3.5m, so am I safe to think that she would not be liable for tax ?

Just to complicate matters, she also has her name as minority shareholder on a couple of friend's (farang) company structures for houses worth about 2 and 3 million.

Would these be added to her records ??

Great Wall Motors has committed to taking over the facilities but has no plans to hire the GM employees

 

Don't understnd, they are buying the car plants but nobody to work in them so they are not going to produce any vehicles ?

They will bring in their own workers

I took my form and copies of bank book/passport to Jomtien yesterday for the 90 day proof check.

A cursory glance though the pages and was told all ok.

What they do with it no idea.

No receipt or anything, would they know if I hadn't done it ?

Will this include obtaining work permits ??

why not just have 'greeters' at the airport with their open hands out demanding money ? that is their deep intent anyway 

They already have taxi drivers...

Will they be selling these at the departure lounges?

They will have to be in Thai.

I see people in 7/11 only buying what they can store on their motorcycle, usually only 2 or 3 items.

Used to be at least 2 bags stuffed full.

I thought that they had stopped all those street food hawkers last year

The only way to stop this nonsense is to be proactive and write to our Embassies in the hopes they can push the Thai Government to at least  rethink any further discrimination against foreigners.

 

Waste of time with the British Embassy

Thinking of going to TikToc agency today in Jomtien. I’m just worried that even an agency might fail here and I don’t want to risk 15-20k baht if I don’t know if it will work

Pay when the visa is in your passport, not before.

I’d still like to know why the Viet Dong remains stable—yet the Baht gyrates out of control every day...

Because they devalue 2 or 3 times a year

If the underlying cause of the problem is not resolved first, devaluation would only give everyone more Baht in exchange foreign currency. That would cause even more foreign currency to be introduced and cause the Baht to strengthen even further. Simply put, devaluation wouldn't work.

But it's worth a try .... if only for a week while we transfer our funds over????????

Quite possibly the biggest "old boys club" in the world.

 

Can't figure out "up from down" on the economy but sure know how to load and point a gun.

They would never be expected to actually take part in military action.

Perhaps the monthly overseas payments are due on the 1st ??
