  1. Doubt they fill a return in, each year they look at me with total confusion but get there in the end
  2. Each year I go to my local tax office (I have a tax I'd number) for the return of tax on my savings never once have I been asked to fill in a tax return
  3. I know many students who supplement their university fees in this way.
  4. I believe only if you have a onward flight from Suvarnabhumi but could be wrong
  5. There is a bus from DMK, A1 number I think. Cost 20 baht
  6. My friend has just come back from there, visiting Thailand on the way home to blighty. He found travelling around the Philippines very difficult (he has been before) he said Thailand was very easy, also outside the major cities WiFi was not very good and to him the place has not recovered from Covid. Just quoting what he has told me
  7. The reason why I live in Thailand is because 33 years ago I fell in love with Thailand and today I am still in love with the place. We all live/visit the place for one reason or another. Just embrace it and feel lucky
  8. Nong Kai. Quieter than Udon but pleasant place to stay on the banks of the Mekong.
  9. Better off avoiding all tourist areas. My friend who is currently on tour in Thailand only yesterday turned round to me and said the women where you live are different from Pattaya, to which I replied that they have not been tarnished by the westerners
  10. If it does happen!! Pattaya will probably the most affected
  11. I did say read up on it!! Prolonged use of it destroys tendons in your body
  12. Ciprofloxin is a very dangerous drug which you can buy over the counter. Read up on it, it has been banned in some countries. I am now only just recovering after 4 years
  13. Hard boiled eggs, you can buy them from 7-11
  14. I love living in Thailand, anything I post is the truth and nothing but the truth
  15. Stay clear of all Thai people if they are drunk/drinking. Many years ago at my wife's mother's funeral one of her brothers lost it and started waving a gun around
  16. Hotels, local restaurants? I do not live in tourist citys and I can tell you the locals are struggling. I have lived in my city for 14 years and theft is on the increase, the large supermarkets now have CCTV in car parks, failing that they have security, this is the first time ever
  17. Thai life is worth nothing also
  18. I had my varicose veins stripped in the UK many years ago. I will try and and remember. Pre op, shave your crown jewels. Local anesthetic, they make incision (cut) both groins (this is where they strip the veins through) Painless operation, bandaged from foot to groin, stay in hospital 3 days? Will not let you out until you can walk (with stick). F------g painful, can take week(S) for pain to go completely, may need physio on legs. Where surgical stockings for a while. Hope that helps
  19. This will do more harm to Thailand tourism
  20. I think it is a good idea to focus on foreign/Thai people travelling within Thailand. I do this on average 8 times per year
  21. Monthly rental, I live in a cheap but one of the most beautiful areas to live in the uk. Wages are low hence rental is low
  22. Houses/rental are cheap on north Yorkshire coast
