depends on what you might want to bring with you .Personal items and valuable antiques , high quality furniture .Some things ie things you have collected over may years and are irreplaceable . Generally it's not worth it apart from aforementioned . I brought in a 40ft container from France last year and was lucky before the container/shipping rates went sky high ! I had a good agent but still had to go to Bangkok and deal with documents thro the agent . Problem for me was that with limited time to sell items when my property sold ,I found people wanted things for nothing so it was either give things away at knock down prices or bite the bullet and ship it here . I wasn't prepared to loose both ways ie sell at a big loss only to have to pay out again here . So it depends on what you have and value . Certainly leave the electronic/electrical stuff behind and also only bring lightweight clothing .

new style of car charging ??

agree 100%

nothing surprises me here

likewise . I will keep the website address and see if I can apply in 2 months time if they still have this offer and vaccine

you pays your money and takes your chance !!

I already posted a thread about this as to when/where/how to obtain a mrna Covid booster (preferably Pfizer / Moderna / Astra Zenica) as it is now absolutely necessary for my age group (70) to get one and am looking at Jan/Feb even if paid for . I have not seen /heard anything about availability yet ??

I just read the latest news by the Ministry of Public Health :_ Quote: Ministry of Public Health is planning to provide a fourth booster shot of Covid-19 vaccines for eligible Thai citizens in 2022 following the gradual arrival of more vaccines, according to Minister Anutin Charnvirakul. Unquote This again smacks of discrimination against foreigners who live here . We all know the efficacy of current vaccines diminishes with time and the current approach is to get a 3rd booster some 6 months after the the first double jab . The UK is actively persuing this policy now . I wrote a post on here asking if there was any information on what/where/when one might obtain a 3rd Pfizer booster shot ( or even any other mRNA vaccine - NOT sinovac or sinopharm ). No replies to date . One has to beg the question " is the government / ministry of public health even remotely interested in or even considered the 3rd booster for expats /foreigners whom are residing here " . Seems NOT !

As long as you can find 2 other willing shareholders , you can have them sign over their share to you and thus you become the controlling shareholder .

Fat chance of that ! This government wants to deep cleanse Thailand , sweep everything under the carpet . I'm sure the next thing will be rehabilitation centres for the sex workers .

yes, it pays here to be very careful when buying land or property as to what might be built adjacent or block your view ! My Condo view is "fixed " set back from the road , overlooking the pool and a quiet soi !!! Unfortunately for those 20M roof Condos with their own pool , they now have a massive skyscraper Condo towering over them , looking down on their pool and now no privacy with the consequential drop in value !! Someone else I know bought what they thought was a nice piece of land fronting a soi , built a nice house only to find someone started a recycle depot next door !!! Buyer beware !!

UK, Canada , Dubai , Saudi Arabia , France and now retired here to Thailand (10yeras ago)

oh dear , out with som tam and in with the chipati sidewalk vendors !!!

well that may well be after New Year now !!

In one study of SE Asian countries and which ones will be the most prolific and advanced in 20 years time , Thailand did not make the top 5 ! Even Myanmar was mooted as having huge potential once it gets over the present crisis .

absolutely no consideration for the average retired expat / family here who have supported Thai's in their time of need , donated food and /or assistance or employment .

yes, we know about that mainly because the powers that be discovered Sinovac was pretty useless against the Delta variant ! I am after a Pfizer booster ( only ) .

wishful thinking ! whatever form Thai Immigration introduce you can be sure it will dig deep into your personal details and finances - remember they only want your money !

Nope, no replies to date so I guess I'll just sit on the fence and wait out Jan/Feb when hopefully vaccines will be more plentiful .

yes, Panama was my alternative and I wish I had taken it now !!

Anybody know how/when/where will it be possible to obtain a Pfizer Covid booster shot ( 3rd dose ) . Consensus of opinion deems it necessary to get a 3rd dose as protection from 2 doses slowly wanes and a 3rd shot gives maximum protection . I would like to get a booster shot Jan/Feb next year .

mmmm "marine safety " ?? At the enquiry " well I didn't see any other ships around so I put the autopilot on and went for my breakfast "

yes there is , the VAT !!

no, you can still see Elvis on Jomtien Beach Road !

well that's very nice of you !!! I had just come back from the UK from her funeral ! thank you
