  1. When Covid 1st started people were allowed to self isolate/ quarantine at home, that didn't last long as people just carried on as normal visiting friends, going shopping, going to restaurants/bars and hence that option was removed I suspect Hotels will be required to take passports on check-in and only returned with the PCR results. Here’s the timeline of Baruch’s recent movements: December 17 - Entered Thailand under the Test & Go scheme. Waited at his hotel in Sukhumvit area for his Covid-19 test result. December 18 – Left his hotel and returned a while later, claiming he visited his friend in hospital near Soi Phetchaburi 47. 2pm – Left the hotel again and called a taxi to Pattaya without showing his passport. He travelled in the area there before returning to Bangkok. December 19 - Rented a van to the southern provinces. December 20 - Went to Chumphon en route to Koh Samui. December 22 - Caught on Koh Samui. https://www.nationthailand.com/in-focus/40010335
  2. If we go with your scenario. Why would he phone the hotel and say he would return later in the day, Why would he turn his phone off On Saturday, he called the Bangkok hotel and said he was visiting a friend at a hospital and would return later that day, which didn’t happen. Baruch then reportedly turned off his phone on Saturday night and traveled back to Bangkok and then to the southern island of Koh Samui. https://www.timesofisrael.com/israeli-faces-thailand-jail-time-after-leaving-quarantine-evading-police-for-5-days/
  3. Unlikely scenario according to this article On Saturday, he called the Bangkok hotel and said he was visiting a friend at a hospital and would return later that day, which didn’t happen. Baruch then reportedly turned off his phone on Saturday night and traveled back to Bangkok and then to the southern island of Koh Samui. https://www.timesofisrael.com/israeli-faces-thailand-jail-time-after-leaving-quarantine-evading-police-for-5-days/
  4. Some hotels required confirmation that you are fully vaccinated before you can check-in Agoda sent me this reply regarding my tweet that I was unaware that my hotel at the weekend had made it compulsory for all guests to be fully vaccinated otherwise they cannot check-in. According to Agoda, this is stated on their website. My apologies for not spotting this. https://mobile.twitter.com/RichardBarrow/status/1465214273626406918
  5. I read that report and it didn't say anything like that it did state that However, it was not clear whether the three cases were directly related to vaccination against Covid-19.
  6. My worst buy was a house in Turkey. I bought it on a whim and got a great deal but I shouldn’t have bought it. I never go out, I can’t sell it and it’s just sitting there." She added: "I bought it for €250,000 about eight years ago and I’d sell it half-price just to offload it. If anyone’s interested, contact me on Twitter if you want to buy me out.” https://www.mirror.co.uk/3am/celebrity-news/claire-sweeneys-flogging-house-twitter-5505622 As with anything research research research Many people have had their fingers burnt buying property in Turkey Paying 4/5 times more than a Turkish national would pay or buying in undeveloped that has been promised development that never happens
  7. Only if your a teetotaler President of the Turkish Monopoly Dealers Platform shares new price list with increases in alcoholic drinks https://businessturkeytoday.com/president-of-the-turkish-monopoly-dealers-platform-shares-new-price-list-with-increases-in-alcoholic-drinks.html
  8. You are incorrect plenty of brand new cars you can get discount, and a number of countries in the world where cars are move expensive than Thailand Ford Ranger Double Cab 2.0L Bi-Turbo Wildtrak 4x4 10AT Thailand price 1.26 million baht The same Ford Ranger model in the UK £43,135.64 at today exchange rate 1.9 million baht https://www.ford.co.uk/content/dam/guxeu/uk/documents/price-list/cars/PL-New_Ranger.pdf
  9. Car Manufacturers offer dealers various incentive options through out the year From a Manufacturers point of in a perfect world every vehicle that rolls off the production line is sold but Manufacturers know there is going to various months of the year where that not possible so there will be times where the Manufacturers will offer additional discounts to the dealer to buy those vehicles. I have seen Dealers where In January, February,March they have leftover stock from the previous year often vehicles with no mileage and warranty has not been started. In a ideally world the dealer will try and sell those vehicles at the same price as a vehicle that hasn't come off the production line yet I have seen some major Brands not all of them but for example on vehicles that have a retail price of 1.2-1.3 million baht offer discount's upto 250,000 baht to sell their old stock and it can be a cash only deal or finance deal. Will they offer you such a deal when you walk into the showroom simple answer is No and will every dealer offer you similar deals simple answer No some dealers would have bought the unused stock and some wouldn't
  10. For the op there is a motor show in Bangkok next month best days to go for a deal is the last day as the major Brands all want that number 1 slot of orders https://www.motorexpo.co.th/ Establish delivery dates and manufacturing date as a 2022 model Civic RS built in December 2021 will be worth less than a 2022 model Civic RS built in January 2022 Register with some Thai facebook groups for Civic and post a listing in Thai that you are looking for a 2022 Civic RS cash discount only. I would also register with alternative Brand group facebook groups and post a listing that your looking for model x You can do a degree play the dealers off in Facebook but I would suggest that you say to the Honda dealers that the civic RS is your preferred choice but you are considering Brand X it all depends on who gives the best deal Make sure the 1 year free iinsurance is in the cash only deal as you can see here the free insurance offer if provided by Honda not the dealer and its linked to Only customers who have entered into a hire purchase contract with a participating financial institution https://www.honda.co.th/promotions/detail/promotion-civic-nov2021
  11. Bereaved people do NOT have to return state pension wrongly paid to the deceased - but government will request it on behalf of taxpayers https://www.thisismoney.co.uk/money/pensions/article-6830067/Bereaved-people-NOT-return-state-pension-wrongly-paid-deceased.html
  12. Repayments when someone has died If there has been an overpayment DWP will write to you asking for the money back from the estate. They will tell you how any overpayment has been worked out and explain why it happened. They will also tell you how to pay. https://www.gov.uk/benefit-overpayments/repayments-when-someone-has-died dear sorry for your loss letter followed 2-3 days later by repayment within 14 days letter or the person dealing with your estate has to provide reasons why they are unable to make the repayment. For UK bank accounts the DWP can access those accounts if required
  13. Family will received a Dear sorry for your loss later and if an overpayment has been made a further letter 2-3 days demanding the repayment of the overpayment within 14 days
  14. I think they normally state it should be something that is not associated with you
  15. I suspect they are sending you the one that they currently have for your account
  16. Its a 6-10 digit number that you would have created I suspect most people use a old telephone number that is easy for them to remember as anyone would be daft if they used their pin code twice
  17. Your telephone banking security number is a 6 to 10 digit number that only you will know. It is what we use to verify you if you call us. You may have been asked to set this up at the time you opened your account I assume people use old telephone numbers that are only known to them

  20. Pricing in Sterling should be a warning sign to anyone, More than likely in the middle of nowhere with no public transport, unfurnished and no mention of heating After September gets very cold from around 16;00 onwards and can rain for 7 days or more without a break if near a mountain possible poor or limited internet access speeds. make sure you disable roaming on your mobile phone as one minute your connecting to a Northern Kibris radio mast and the next minute you connecting to a Southern Cyprus radio mast which will cost a fortune in roaming fees. Turkish customs will love rummaging through your radio equipment anything unusual sends them into a tizzy
  21. I am sure that your Bank advised you Protected Deposits Thai Baht Deposits only i.e. Current Deposits, Savings Deposits, Fixed Deposits, Certificates of Deposit, and Deposit Receipts https://www.bangkokbank.com/en/Personal/Tips-and-Insights/Save-and-Invest/Practical-advice-on-deposit-protection FCD accounts = no protection
