Aliexpress

EVERY thing I have ordered from them in the last 6 months takes a minimum of 45 days.  They get turned over to the airline and just sit for weeks and weeks.

So it is an option, just not a good one.

It might be restricted to ASEAN member countries first which probably covers most of what you are looking for.

“One Vision, One Identity, One Community”

It is a shame that Thai bank branches are treated almost like separate companies.

I am currently in the Philippines and it is even worse.  The banks are the same way but so are phone carriers.  You have to pay anytime you call a different carrier's number. Most businesses have multiple phone numbers.  One for each carrier. 

I am currently not int Thailand but I would like to be able to have some items delivered in Thailand from Thailand.  I have a Thai Lazada account but I cannot create a new addressee because my old Thai phone number does not exist any more.  I cannot create a Thai Shopee account again because of the need for a Thai phone number.  I can use Amazon but that becomes expensive for small items.

Any ideas?

What is "high-end"

Surely if one of us "aliens" has a lease on a condo for one or more years, that should be proof that's where we intend to stay for the duration of the contract. Hence a 90 day report is superfluous. Same with someone living in a house in their Thai wife's name.

 

The simple solution would be that if you permanently leave your registered (via TM6 or TM30) place of residence you would be required to report your new residence within a specified period of time.  Such as 14 days or 30 days.  Don't do it and there would be some sort of penalty.  The requirement could be printed on the TM6 and TM30 forms so there would be no excuse for not knowing. 

I have had nightmares on a few occasions even with big name couriers.  I got notices from DHL and UPS that packages were in customs.  None of them were expensive with none of them over 500 baht.  I lived in Chiang Mai.  The notices were in horrible English but each one said a couple of things that forced me to abandon the items.  They first wanted me to send a copy of my passport and later to actually send the passport to them in Bangkok.  I was not willing to send my passport so they requested that I fly to Bangkok with my passport.  They also wanted me to go to the local customs office and fill out a form of some kind which I have forgotten the name of. Other packages would just fly through.

There is no way to return the packages the only options were to go to them or abandon.  In both cases, they offered no help and talking to them on the phone was useless.

I started using Amazon which charges a customs fee and takes care of all the customs paper work.  After the package is deliver, which is very fast, they refund and customs duties that were unused.

Didn't have too.  Saturday night, after at least 3 days, it started working again with me doing nothing.

What is wealthy and how do you prove it?

For the last three days, your ads just spin and never appear which also slows down the entire page load.  I am using windows and I have tried Chrome, Edge, and Firefox with no improvement. I cannot find any ad blocker enabled and certainly not in the last three days.  However, I can use the Brave browser, which is a privacy browser based on Chrome.  No other web sites are affected.

Might just be me but probably worth looking into.

Renting from a Russian in Thailand?? Never heard of such a thing. I can't think of anyone I have ever known renting from someone who is not Thai.

 

Pay up and get out, move on. Sounds like a prolonged troublesome situation if you don't get out now.

I don't know about Russians but renting from a non Thai is very common.

Now, now, some people might call that racist.

For me, Chinese are welcome as long as they don't come from mainland China,  

I don't think "near" is what matters, general area is better.  You probably don't want to live in a rural area with like 20 KM from the nearest hospital.

In the US  there are many 911 devices that you hang around your neck.  Should you not be able to get to a phone they could be a life saver.

So what are the mail in requirements?

If the trains are still suspended, you may have to look for multiple segments.  Phuket to Bangkok and then Bangkok to CM.

You're unable to prove your travel history for the last 14 days because there're no stampts? Then you're deemed citizen of a country of your passport and viewed as if you spent the last 14 days there. That may be not fair, but how else, if you can't prove otherwise?

Probably more correct, if you cannot prove where you have been for the last 14 days, a quarantine is required.  Otherwise your safe country passport could have taken you to a non-safe country.  It may also be possible to request a stamp if not regularly given.

So that leaves Malaysia. Good infrastructure, world class shopping malls and lot of expats, so plenty of European food. Of course you'd have Arabs everywhere and if you've lived in a condo with Arab families you'll know it's almost worse than extended Chinese or Thai families. Easy visas.

Arabs everywhere?  There are not many Arabs in Malaysia, are you trying to say Muslims?  There are like 15,000 Arabs in the whole country.  Easy visa, just what long stay visa in Malaysia is easy and inexpensive?

I don't think the OP meant "safe".  Probably more like do the current rules allow it.

Siem Reap hotspots

 

 

There are certainly night clubs and dance clubs but which of the ones in your link are sex outlets?  I am not saying they don't exist but Siem Reap is no Pattaya or even a Chiang Mai.  it used to be but to me it has changed.
