    About time, ridiculous a 64 kg person only allowed the same luggage as a 128 kg person.

    Never say never but for me the agency system will never change because they no that if they stopped it thousands upon thousands would have to leave Thailand and that would be lost revenue

    In our immigration office we have always needed both of these

    Maybe someone on here could explain to me my question because it has baffled me for years. Ever since living in Thailand I have done my extension of stay the "legitimate" way, over the years even though my paperwork as always been correct I, and several of my friends have had no end of hassle, applying for our extension of stay. Why do people who go through the "non legitimate" never have any hassle?

    I am 70 year old and have never had a girlfriend/wife who has been within 6 years of my age in my lifetime. When I was young the biggest gap was 20 years, now I am older currently the gap is 30+, she doesn't complain, nor do I!!

    I live in a small city in Thailand and have done for a number of years, have a circle of friends, 20-25? Can assure you that none of them are losers. I would suggest it is you who is living in the wrong place, wherever that may be

    Being originally from the UK, I found November a depressing month, days hardly getting light. Working 12 hour night shifts I virtually never saw daylight while I was working, starting work 18-00 until 06-00, sleeping all day. I got out soon as I could never regretted

    It is only now that the world is turning to <deleted> that I am starting to appreciate the fact that I was born in the 50s

    Could you use your Thai card for withdrawals, I had a problem in Vietnam when I went on holiday. If there aren't Thai banks how do you take your money with you or is it easy to open a bank account, bit dodgy taking it all in cash

    Diversing a little, I have had health insurance (do not need it for my visa) from before I was 60 with Bupa Thailand, they were were taken over by Aetna, same schedule number, policy just carried on, I have reached 70 and this week a letter saying they will no longer insure me?? Not Aetna but Allianz Ayudha.

    I have a QROPS and it is based with the said company you are talking about in Guernsey. I do not want to bore you with things that have been an on going issue for several years. They take on financial advisors (or did) who are not scrutinized (to my cost). It will be coming towards a final outcome in April where no doubt it will be in the news. I can't say too much because it is with lawyers

    So let me get this right, the people and the politicians in Bangkok are not corrupt?

    Selfish

    I do not know the hospital, I have stayed in both private and general hospitals, both good experiences, at general hospitals the relatives usually sleep under/side of bed. Try not to worry, in my view equally as competent as the NHS if not better

    Our opinion does not matter, Issaan people will be happy

    Everywhere seems to be getting quieter up North, since covid/visa changes. One example Nong Kai, people used to pop across the border and stay a couple of nights in Nong Kai, not any more. Very, very quiet. Chiang Khan seems to be bucking the trend, more and more home stays by the river, w/e especially busy but only on a night, it is a family/couples place and even then everything shutting down by 1 0-00 pm

    My father was a personal professional chef to a lord and lady for 36 years (all is working life) except for his army years spent in the cantering corp. He told me from an early age food is food wherever you go however you want to gloss it up
