Frozen pension policy turns British expat's dream into a nightmare

This isn’t 3rd party info, these 2 situations are genuine. -
Frozen pension policy turns British expat's dream into a nightmare
Stanton681 replied to snoop1130's topic in Thailand News
It’s not. I know 2 Brits here in Isaan who were caught and are having to repay overpayment. Worse is that they’ve had their pensions revert to the amount they received when they moved to Thailand. -
The farang involved appears to be 40/50 years old.

Hear hear.

Minivan passengers pass out from suspected carbon monoxide poisoning

Isn’t that more of a South Korean thing? -
Good for them!

There was a thread on this a few months ago. On 2/19/2024 at 1:37 PM, kingstonkidsaid: Does anyone have one? I am wondering what the electric bill is like and how long the average battery charge is? My reply on the same thread: “Mine, an electric 3-wheel, is economical to run. Charging via a separate charger takes from 6 to 13 hours depending on how low the lead-acid battery is. Electric bill is minimal. It’s top speed is 48kph and range on a full charge is 45 kilometers”.

That’s right. Thankfully, this bitter attitude, evident lack of knowledge and his sour opinions aren’t shared by the majority here. ————————————————— HugoFastor’s posts (which are neither pro nor anti-Trink) bring back memories of long lost, hugely enjoyable days in BKK 🙂

I have enjoyed my time in Thailand, but...

First-time traveler to Thailand has many questions

OP’s a new member, first post. He’s blocked any views of his profile. Don’t feed the troll! -
OK. Good luck with whatever you finally choose to do.

Can’t advise on installation of the flashing lights, sorry. I bought it at an independent store on the ground floor of Big C in Nittayo Road, Udon Thani. I had looked elsewhere but this particular shop stocked a very good selection of trikes. There were 3 versions of the X6-3: 500w, 600w plus the version I bought, 700w. It has 3 forward gears and reverse, disc brakes, full set of lights, and indicators, built in alarm and masses of storage space. The 600w version @ 16,900฿ was attractive but on the day I went to buy, the more potent-looking 700w had appeared. I was able to test both models and the 700w had a more comfortable seat (the 600w sloped back), which was wider and upright. Important for me. In 1st gear it reaches 28kph (17.4mph), in 2nd 38kph (23.6mph), and in 3rd 48kph (29.8mph). It’s a great vehicle, I looked around for a year before finding this one. I too am in my seventies (mid).

It’s a Lion X6-3, cost 19,900฿. It already comes with factory fitted LED lights and they can be switched on anytime. The headlight, however, will also be on. I too have back trouble and am very grateful for this set of wheels.

Definitely Nong Khai over Udon anyday in my opinion,but pricing can be higher there in some instances.

Sick stuff :(

The OP was asking “are there any nice hotels or restaurants that have a nice Christmas dinner/buffet available?” (in Chiang Mai). Not seeking views from voluble, opinionated posters regarding their preference for Thai food and their derision of Japanese fare.

Farangs are not expected to wai. Surely anyone who works here would have learned that when they moved to LoS.

Foreigners who order spicy dishes but modify them to be not spicy.

This is true. -
How do I learn the visa laws?
Stanton681 replied to cubism001's topic in Thai Visas, Residency, and Work Permits
The obvious thing is to phone the agent and ask them. They must speak English. -
How come English speakers are incomprehensible to others?
Stanton681 replied to vangrop's topic in Pattaya
It’s seems on some threads in aseannow Thai forums that a number of people can’t even understand each other! -
The OP said he was going out an hour ago so he may not currently be following any advice.
