    I'm sure we could come up with a few!

    Seriously thinking about this too. 3/4 months a year in Cambodia/Vietnam wouldn't be so bad.

    Coffee is not that bad, but the prices are far from reasonable. Only go there if I've been given a gift card, otherwise no way.

    So many riders and passengers not wearing helmets including children with parents. The other day I even saw a motorbike-taxi rider wearing an obviously damaged helmet that was completely covered with brown masking tape. 🤷

    If someone decided to stay just 3 months every year in Thailand and 9 months in their home country would it still be a good idea to just continue their annual retirement extensions?

    So, you use your debit card abroad without any problems and visit the bank when you're back in Thailand. Do you have to inform the branch every time that you're going abroad again? Cheers.

    I guess my friend should be pleased with the laughing emoji as that means there should be no problem. I did advise him to consider a reentry permit and continue with retirement extensions at least for the time being as he plans to spend a few months in Thailand every year and keep money here. M

    City are just warming up. KDB will be like a fresh new signing come January. Arsenal & Liverpool battling for second.

    Uniqlo in Bangkok. Not pricey & good quality. Probably don't sell XXXL though.

    A friend of mine is considering going back to his home country for around 7 months and not applying for a reentry permit.(retirement extension) He hopes to visit Thailand every year for just a few months as a tourist. Will this have any implications on his Thai banks? Withdrawing cash in-bank, getting a new debit card/ bank book etc. Has anyone done this? He plans to keep his phone number.

    You can ask for a card to stick your stamps on. The card will say when you have to use the stamps by. I usually wait until I have a reasonable amount (50 baht maybe) and then the amount is discounted from my purchase.

    Then don't bring that money to Thailand after 01/01/24.

    Let's hope that most of us will only be affected by the 300 baht tourism tax in the future. (increase it to 500 baht even)

    They're maniacs many of them in Bangkok. Weaving left & right with one eye on their smartphone. ????

    So much info, so many comments, everything is so unclear. I'm just assuming that money brought/sent into Thailand before Jan 1st 2024 will be okay, 3/5/10 years ago etc?

    I'm sure that my condo will continue to charge 6 baht per unit! ????

    Not long ago we read that this year there would be very little rain. ????

    New head of police will be named today apparently. Don't think it'll be BJ.

    Good old Tiffy! ????

    You must be pretty casual & easy-going not noticing back in May when your extension will next expire. Also leaving it so late to get a new passport.

    Cheap barbers

    garygooner replied to bignok's topic in Bangkok

    As has been suggested go where the locals go. Keep away from the downtown tourist areas. I pay 120 baht for a decent cut. There are a number of barbers in Phrakanong & Onnut.

    Need a stadium with a cover. Singapore's looks decent enough.

    Don't you have to visit soi 5 immigration with the agent to have your photo taken?

    Changed so much since the good old 90s. Much more fun & easy-going back then. Also about 95% of customers were westerners.
