EVENKEEL

I agree completely, especially women who followed their hearts, had it broken with reality. These ladies know with a foreigner their life is more secure.

5 yrs ago my job kept me in Marriott on Orchard Rd. I had a 50 SD a week free food deal. At the curb side bar the 50 SD would get me 2 bloody marys when I got off work in the morning after a long 12 hr shift. Coronas ran about 15 SD.

Perhaps foreigners have more money than some Thais. But the way land prices are going, many of the poor Thais could be land rich. My kid tells me her friend's dad has one of those wine cellar coolers for his large selection of bottles, they drive a merc, own several homes. Alot of rich Thais around.

Keep em barefoot and pregnant Bob.

So, I opened my Bangkok Bank account like over 10 yrs ago in Jomtein. Been Having my SS and pension DD into account for maybe 3+ yrs. Just recently my debit card stopped working and online transfers stopped. Now, I have to go to bank every month to withdraw all cash. No more debit card with this account.

People just talk too much. I'm just on an extended vacation in Thailand. I pay all the requires taxes, pay car registration, car Ins. in my home country.

You have nothing.

You actually read it, funny. Ole 88 usually just rambles.

Check the luggage limits. I flew in 2019 to BKK, cost me an extra $200. for second suitcase.

Quite the manifesto. Your basic writing 101 course is paying off.

Get real Private school fees alone would run 1 M/ yr for 2 kids.

Real men know how to cook. I'm sure you have some steaks in the freezer.

I've got 4 nights booked at the Ibaza resort middle of July. It's hard to get rooms at a nice place for 3 people with more than one large bed. So I reserved a 2 bedroom place 7K/night. Still looking for a place for 3 more nights, I'm thinking Lamaii Beach.

Why not stay at a nice place on the beach with beautiful pool, great buffet breakfast. It will greatly enhance your enjoyment.

In comparison - A foreigner here in Thailand doesn't renew his extension, stops the 90 day reports and is officially overstaying. What happens? A big nothing. Now to me it seems easily doable for the authorities to have a list of overstayers and pursue said overstayer. Do they? A big no. But, the tax people are so organized they will track down a retiree and tax them, not only on the money they bring into country but money made in their home country. Now, I'm sure there are some huge money foreigners who do business in Thailand who probably should do some damage control but for the masses of retirees here I wouldn't sweat it.

It's good to know you've come to your senses regarding immigration. See, people can change.

Perhaps actually peruse the OP. Carry on troll.

I seriously doubt there's a Ms B.

Whoa, hold your horses. Immigration out of control....... Really? You post on US threads bashing those who are against unregulated immigration. I thought immigration strengthens a country, diversity is awesome. What happened?

2 yrs back we stayed at the Marriott in Hua Hin. Great time, in the evening we took a tuk tuk to the Market St with many restaurants.

Whoa Hoss, you're frothing at the mouth. Should I double space the letters so you can better comprehend my self explanatory post? Golly gee biden muppets are very emotional.

One of my jobs as a kid was working in a restaurant, one of the bus boys had passed out in the walk in frig after sampling too many whipped cream cans.

That is too creepy for words.

Sorry didn't proof read.
