madmen

There are quite a few on Craigslist. Just search BKK removalists and have the Gf ask the questions you posted

No docs needed but you can only pay via credit card

if you cannot see the difference between 'affordable living for pensioners' and the exciting rejuvenation Thailand has to offer...I wonder what you are doing here?

No money no honey. If you ain't got the honey what on earth would thailand offer apart from temples or spicy food?

Sounds like your in the same boat as our friend here

or OP..buy a ticket to manila 
make a tourist visa for philippines
take a taxi from the airport in Manila to Cebu or Angels 
hire the first willing girl you meet for a few days
to help you find a place ... easy

Is there some type of amazing deal on health insurance there ? The runners are desperate, bottom of the barrel scrapers just running around in circles

I said " as far as we know he could....". Is that a phrase you understand? It was tongue in cheek as a reference to another poster assuming the OP had no funds, no health insurance and no way to pay his way.

Oh OK it's tongue in cheek so you agree [emoji106] now that makes sense but it didn't come across as tongue in cheek.. You need to work on your delivery [emoji16]

Exactly my point. We don't know what he has.
 
 

If he had a 100k like you suggest. He could pay an agent in a heartbeat. You are not seeing the big picture here

The runners can't even afford an agent!

The OP has said nothing about not planning for old age, living in dire straights or not living a life of ease. As far as we know he could have  100k a month pension and living a very nice life but can't get 800k in the bank in Thai. Maybe he does not need your pity. Think about it,

Doubt it. If he is on a 100k it would mean that he has retired well and is topping up his 40 k pension that most people seem to have
He would just need to liquidate his top up source.
I will never understand why desperates insist on SEA. Without doubt they don't have insurance either
Why not go home? Most countries offer affordable living for pensioners if you are flexible in the area you wish to retire to.
Obvious big cities and their satellites are to be avoided

You mean my Brother in law really doesn't have his own Airplane, Mountain Chalet in Washington State and is an Internet investment sensation???   Dammit!!! 

Haha it's not the big stuff but the small stuff. Eg was a friend's having dinner and it was difficult to watch him and his wife escalate their fighting followed by abuse from their own 2 teenagers

2 days later on FB their were posts about their amazing family lol

It's like it's some type of contest to see who can bend the truth the most

Nonesence, there's plenty of ways to pay by credit card at either  guest houses directly or via booking sites beforehand, plenty.

Nope. 2 star hotels taking American express and visa.. To funny

There are several hundred guest houses that can be booked using Agoda or similar, all of which accept credit cards!

That's just to hold the booking. You pay cash when you get there.!

The tourists should probably considered themselves lucky they weren't accused and held for ransom by the cops.
 

Not all cops are crooked other wise they WOULD have gone to jail.

They absolutely dont in the low end. You can get even 10% discount if you pay cash like guest houses.

You must be kidding. Not a single guest house in the country will except credit cards , beads or shells. It's always always cash

Nonsense ! I get on at thong lo everday at 12:30 and there’s no room to get ! So don’t tell me what I know or don’t know


Sent from my iPhone using Thailand Forum - Thaivisa mobile app

That is peak hour! Half the city is just waking up and heading to the malls for food etc

Why do you keep going at 1230 if it's not a good experience lol

Just saw some at home pro one station up from Nana bts. Pretty big but no idea about comfort.

Most hardware stores sell professional strength termite control chemicals. The same stuff the experts use. Just look at you tube vids and buy a cheap spray device from lazada to apply it with.

I just used it for a major cockroach out break in a rental condo after the tenants cooked but never cleaned. Killed them all and the 1: 60 mix means it can be used for years. 500 baht per bottle

The junta in a knee jerk reaction went visa free for many countries to boost tourism.  The junta lifted that dumb rule of just two border crossings per year for visa exempt to boost tourism.  Free dinners for Chinese to boost tourism.   The economy is bad on all the lips of the Thais I know.  Show us how the average Thai is thriving under junta mania. The average Thai does not benefit from the export form IC chips, auto or agricultural exports.

You must be kidding.

Educate yourself!!

 

Show one link where the economy is going backward under the junta. I can give you 100 links that your wrong but your quoting sticky rice for the Chinese. Sorry no offense but you have no idea [emoji362]

Oh greedy Thailand and your greed for Quality Tourists. How your insipid greed allows you to constantly keep moving the goal posts.
Lets face it, you would welcome a dog turd with open arms as long as it was spending money.
 
As far as having millions of Indians visiting, (have you forgotten your Chinese friends so quickly?) be careful what you wish for, you might just find that you get it!

Zzzzzzz another nail in the tourists coffin lol
They will keep coming after tsunamis, bombs, near Civil War.. Endless coups.. Farang can dream of a tourist wasteland but ironically its the expats looking down the barrel of being pushed out and no your tiny numbers and under 65 k pensions will effect nothing

Have never been to a beer bar. Have never been to Pattaya. Don't know no 'porn". Have never met or associated with a bar girl.
But do know many hard working Thais from various walks in life.
And do know by now that you are an opinionated, xxxxxxx.
Have a great day in your own 'little' world.

I'm not the one plucking a circle of "thai friends" out of thin air to win a debate. Either put up a link regarding the downturn in the economy or move on.. Your new extended family are neither knowledgeable or your "friends"

Link thanks [emoji4]

Villa market is a rip off. All of their not so fresh meat and Veges, fruit is double that of Tesco. I recently saw a head of lettuce imported from the USA for 300 baht

Read my post again. It says, "they do not see". That is self explanatory. This is anecdotal. What would you like as proof, the contact information for my many Thai friends?
Sorry, not available to you.

It's easy to pluck the stats of a down turn in the economy right from the web. Why not add credibility to your statement?

Your friend porn the beer bar girl saying " no boom boom hab no customer" is hardly the big picture

My direct input from base-level Thais is that they aren't really concerned whether they have a democratic government or an army controlled 'government'. Their prime concern is economic growth so that they can improve their lot.
They do not see economic improvements under the current leadership.

"They do not see economic improvements under the current leadership"

Proof?
