Here is the uk government petition for equal pensions: https://petition.parliament.uk/petitions/642749#:~:text=Petition Give 500%2C000 UK overseas,as other state pension recipients.

For those UK expats who receive the UK state pension and are happy that their pension remains frozen with no annual increase, unlike UK and Euro residents and like to throw money away, no need to read further. If however you feel you should get that increase, then you should sign the petition to the UK government asking to be treated equally. I don't know if I can paste the link, so I will do that in the next post. If you don't see that, Google the following paragraph: Give 500,000 UK overseas State Pensioners with frozen pensions parity Thank you

100% agree. Keep your options open, rent for a year ideally furnished, get a visa for a year and see how it is. In the worst case, if things go pear shaped early, go back to Oz and rent a place till you can move back into your home there.

Bummer, hope it re-opens soon.

Actually, the air crossings are relatively unlimited whereas Lao land crossings can only be done twice in a calendar year. Either way, make sure you have $35 for the arrival fee. It was the cheapest way to pay. If you're looking for a nice bar and food overlooking the Mekong, Bor Pen Yang is a good place to go with a nice elevated view.

Friday @ City Hospital, but only in the morning and 1300B for foreigners. I believe that Bang Lamung does them most days, certainly was including Saturday.

Agreed and that reason is often given without justification and cannot be challenged. I would love to know the official percentage of SE Asian visitors to the west travelling with a long time partner, who stay illegally The reality is that a lot of these decisions are made for the UK by non British nationals working in India who have a maximum quota of people they can allow in or lose their job. In fact, my nephew could not get a visa to visit with his gf and ended up getting a fiance visa to marry and live in uk, which ridiculously was easier to get. It wasn't long before his wife missed Thailand too much and they returned to Thailand.

How about the novel idea of legal controlled gambling? In UK Her Majesty’s Revenue and Customs collected £2.9 billion in gaming-related duty in the 2017-18 fiscal year alone

Thanks, but it should just be a transfer of the existing chanote as I assumed it was the same as a normal land purchase and transfer, there was no question of the boundaries. Did your gf have to go down to the land office each time there was a question?

Hello, My gf recently bought a small, relatively inexpensive piece of land at the official province auction for bankruptcies. Paid at the state office and received all the official documents from the lender and office releasing the land and noting that it had been official purchased at the said Province auction. She quickly went to the Land Registry office, received another batch of documents that had to signed and approved by some official in the town, which was done and returned to the Land Office. They said that it would be processed and that they would call when the Chanote (yes was a chanote before) was ready to be picked up. That was over 3 months ago and the only response that she has gotten back is to be patient and that it could be more than a year! That left me incredulous for what seemed like a relatively straighforward official conducted purchase. Has anyone else gone through something like this or have any info on how long she might have to wait to get the chanote? Thanks!

Yes, open outside balcony and stream out from his door. The noise and smell before this was an annoyance, but I'm sorry, a continuous stream of unmasked air coming out for 12+ hours every day, with the current situation and prevalence of the infectious delta variant is in my opinion inconsiderate at best. Being at high-risk of problems if infected with covid, means I am more careful than most. Not unsurprisingly he is often downstairs at the surprisingly open bar unmasked chatting away, drinking the local 'fruit juice' with staff, so being careful is certainly not on his radar. It's good to know that this is unusual in many condos. Thanks for that info. It's not that common in this building too, but he's not the only one. I will look elsewhere with greater attention to adjacent rooms.

My neighbor opposite insists on leaving his front door propped open to allow him to save money on ac. I've asked him to shut his door as he is effectively breathing mask less into my condo, as it's of course impossible to seal my door entirely or indeed anyone walking by. He refuses to do so and with delta being so infectious, I am really frustrated. My condo office has been of no help. Has anyone else had this situation?

Many thanks. Where did you get the foreigner deaths breakdown?

Good luck. You should have been vaccinated first. Instead, we get this BS about young Thai tourist workers and govt officials prioritization
