Stupidity!

I have never lost a single baht of a deposit in 6 years of renting in Thailand and I have never been forced to take out anything near a one year lease. Furthermore, on two occasions I moved out the SAME DAY because I wanted to move elsewhere immediately. On both these occasions I also got my full deposit back! - just needed to be polite, offer a good explanation and clean the room thoroughly. TIT.

Yet another thread, and yet another reason to “only rent, never buy in Thailand”. Makes no sense to buy when rental costs are so ridiculously low here compared to our home countries and because of Thai’s obsession with maximum, objectionable noise and their blatant disregard for their neighbour’s peaceful living.

Not the answer you wanted but we use a TH agent each time her AU tourist visa expires. All too easy …and cheap. They do everything.

Returning to Australia for 2 years to qualify for the aged pension? Add another 6 months before seeing any payments: Tens of thousands of older Aussies are waiting months to have their Age Pension applications approved, due to a massive backlog at Centrelink, an anonymous source at Services Australia has said. The delay means many people are having to eat into retirement savings to make ends meet and some are even having to delay important medical appointments while they wait for their health care card application to be processed. A source at Services Australia, who asked not to be named, told The West Australian the backlog for new Age Pension claims stood at more than 30,000 in late November, with some applications dating back to early June. https://www.yourlifechoices.com.au/centrelink/age-pension/centrelink-backlog-causing-massive-age-pension-delays/

How wrong you are …

Only if the ship docked in Thailand three or four times a week.

No thanks. Selling a property in Thailand can potentially take a long time. Much prefer to pay ridiculously cheap rent and have the freedom to be able to move out the next day if required - which we have done, twice!

Only a fool doesn’t understand that his Thai rent money is coming from some of his other, offshore investment/s - hence he is living “rent free” in Thailand with the freedom to easily move elsewhere if required! 😃 Sorry to hear that you’re stuck in one place in Thailand and cannot easily move to escape potentially future noise or other neighbourly disturbances because of your Thai property purchase. That’s really sad 😢

Noise isn’t a problem for the smart person who rents, never buys - as they simply move on. It’s those silly people who buy who are stuck with the noise.

Maybe planted deliberately by staff as revenge for being rude to them? Happens a lot, often with more than just a hair added ….

I found a solution that's worked fine so far for me. Her name is Ranger. Ford Ranger.

Hit from behind and killed, as so often is the case from the millions of distracted, drunk, drugged drivers on the world's deadliest roads that are continually ramming into the back of others. Let that be a lesson for all the "I'm different because I've been riding bikes for 50 years in falang land and I know how to handle myself on Thai roads" heros on this forum. No amount of experience will save you from the idiot behind you in a bigger vehicle.

When you and Bob take a break from here.

Correct! 96% can call it whatever the hell they want, but the clubs official names are e.g. South Sydney Rugby League Football Club Go the bunnies! 🐰 ❤️ 💚

I was educating you as to why rugby league was originally called football - not what people think it should be called now.

Wrong! Because originally, the only way to score points in rugby league was to use your FOOT to kick the BALL between the goalposts.

Worst location is whilst having a foot massage. The noise from the idiot’s phone speaker (or their voice if on a call) are rarely stopped by shop staff because they are afraid of upsetting their client and not getting a tip. About all you can do is to tell the idiot to shut up or put on/turn up your own headphones, either way you’ve done your dough after paying for an enjoyable, relaxing foot massage.

England left a laughing stock! You tell ‘em Davey 🤣

Payback is a *itch!!! 😂
