Last package was 2 weeks behind normal shipping dates called support and was told to give it a few more weeks and it did eventually turn up very very late.. It happens

     Agree.  My partner and I visited a sales office for a Bangkok project being built by probably the biggest condo builder in Bangkok.  The sales office had the regular Thai sales staff and a complete, Chinese-speaking separate sales staff just for Chinese buyers.  Obviously, they wouldn't be doing this if they thought they would be able to find enough Thai buyers.  One surprise, they were reserving designated floors for Thai buyers and other floors for foreign buyers--hadn't seen that before.  

You will not have a problem selling IF you meet market demand. Nobody is falling over themselves to snatch it at 15 k

Lower your expectations.

Because there are more tourists?

Go to Pattaya /jomtien in June and then December and compare. Gridlock traffic and a sausage fest high season and best avoided. I'm in Pattaya now for my break from Bangkok and it's perfect [emoji108] not to crowded and certainly not dead.

Does Vietnam have an expat forum? I would focusing there as well

Personally I think anyone is mad to tie up money in a property in Thailand .............and be at the mercy of any Visa changes.

Pricing these days around lower Sukhumvit is 10 million baht for 70 sqm. Punters with that type of money will always find a visa fit.

Indeed they already qualify for investment visa

It's only the desperate renters living on a meager pension that can't meet some visa requirements eg BE deserting them

Must bay way overdue for a what happened to high season in Pattaya thread

Now that’s a total and utter bs.
 
last year my hotel was about 65-70% full in September , this year I was empty for most of the month and the rest had about 10% occupancy.
 
In 10 years never had such a quite month 

There are many threads so no point discussing it here. I just wanted to reply to the poster saying thailand is no good because of visa changed and it's not true

Didnt the Thai authorities implement new rules about what they need and the British Embassy came to the conclusion that they were unable to issue the letters, considering the new requirements ?

The main problem is constantly changing the law regarding visa which is very irritating. Now new problem with pension letter that will effect many . On the other hand the countries are catching up with Thailand with service to expats. 
 
Health care is also not that cheap here. If you don't have a expensive health insurance a few hundred thousand coverage is not much.

It would be much better to have a bar girl with you to help you understand it than just sign it like you obviously do. Even a basic idea is better than no idea at all.

BAHAHAHAHA [emoji23][emoji23][emoji23]

except when annoying russians are living above having parties at 3am. better to rent

That's what juristic is for. It's for protection for both renters and owners.

I've resided in Thailand since 2001 and have never signed a document in the Thai language unless it was translated into English.
 
It's not nonsense, it's common sense which obviously you don't possess.

It's not "in an industrial estate". 

My ATM card with BKK Bank expires in 2026 and like the poster above, I've also been told that my Visa card will be valid until then and there will be a Mastercard option well before then.

Fraud, you seem confused. You must be dreaming as my reply never used that word, rather it addressed a factual issue of fund availability.
 
The income method is my own preferred choice and it is simply done by me providing them (BE) with copies of my UK state pension statement,  copies of my other pension providers statements and/or P60s.   Very simple and factual as every single document has my NI number on it and my Thai address.  If they requested I could of course EMS the originals but the BE never request that only copies via emails. It would be good next time if Thai immigration would accept production of these original documents in lieu of the BE letter, but lets see next year.
 
 

 
The OP waited 7 hours and more and I am wondering if there is some ways to ease the boredom of such a wait.
Now seems to be the case he must appear in person to get his ticket to be seen but after that there is no obligation for him to remain until his turn is called, right?
And if for example he is number 472 and they are only on number 72 then its likely the wait will be around 4 hours+ or so...correct?
is there somewhere he can go nearby which is more comfortable that inside the concrete jungle? if so where?
Could an arrangement be made for someone to let him know when its near his turn, so he can go to relax somewhere nearby until his number called..?
Does anyone know if there is some fast track procedure?
What are the best days and times to go which might avoid waiting around all day?
Any other suggestions..?
 
 
 
 

So its a case of when is an accident not an accident then ?  [emoji16]   But of course your last sentence is correct because with less runways,  ie if there were none, there would be no planes to cause an accident or an incident or any other terminology that would require the investigation by the Thai  Aircraft Accident Investigation  Committee,  [emoji1787]

Will they be adding more car parking spaces, as they don't have enough spaces at the moment to match the current capacity.
 
Also will they be adding taxi drivers who will  be able to do their job without moaning, ripping of their fare or asking "you give me tip" as soon as your ass touches the back seat?

Wrong again both of you.  Accidents already happen there with 2 runways. An A380 clipped another plane couple of years ago and a Thai Jumbo went of the runway last week to name only 2.
