Why do so many expats fall off their balconies in Thailand?
cjinchiangrai replied to webfact's topic in Thailand News
Why are most of these in Pattaya? Trying to date 20 year old hookers that run through a lifetime of savings in six months. -
Anutin: Thailand's handling of the pandemic "best in the world"
cjinchiangrai replied to webfact's topic in Thailand News
The only objection I have is that they are still letting in unvaccinated visitors. Everything else has had pretty impressive results in reducing infections and preventing deaths.- 340 replies

TM 30 new house owner.
cjinchiangrai replied to kingstonkid's topic in Thai Visas, Residency, and Work Permits
You don't need a new TM30. Now that she owns it, you can get a yellow book that officially registers you to that house. That will sidestep any address documentation you need. It can also be used to get your national ID card. -
What is (or was) your profession or occupation?
cjinchiangrai replied to Paulaew's topic in ASEAN NOW Community Pub
Sales & marketing for custom engineered products. Started in Civil and ended in Mechanical. There is a lot of underutilized brain power among the farangs. It is a shame they don't let us do some volunteer teaching or pro bono consulting. There is plenty of free time for kids that need help with English or Algebra. -
Elite Visa Insurance Requirements
cjinchiangrai replied to TimLMT's topic in Thai Visas, Residency, and Work Permits
I carry a thumbdrive on my keys with all of the critical documents. License, passport, insurance for auto and medical. If you cant speak it is critical. Make sure the tirak can get to your financial data in an emergency. -
sin sod or not she was already married
cjinchiangrai replied to kingstonkid's topic in Marriage and Divorce
At 50 and divorced her sin sod number is zero. No Thai guy would marry her at all so she should be happy to have you. Yes there is the family to deal with but a reasonable family might set you back 1-2000 a month, after the wedding if you live there. Be careful. They sometimes put up show money and some is used to help pay for the wedding but a very nice village wedding should be under 50k. Some jewelry as a wedding gift is normal but big cash to the family is not. -
Just to go back to the basics, the rate of return for an investment is evaluated at the nominal interest rate for government bonds (0% risk and maybe 2% return) plus the inflation rate plus the risk factor. Therefore, say 2% for base, 4% for inflation and 94% risk = 100% annual return. Sorry, I am not buying it.

Thailand should stop publicizing Covid numbers by April
cjinchiangrai replied to webfact's topic in Thailand News
It depends, April is still months away. What will the next variant look like, Omicron light or Delta on steroids? Just because Cod says it, does not make it the most appropriate plan. -
Thai hotel threatens customer with ฿3m lawsuit over bad review
cjinchiangrai replied to webfact's topic in Isaan News
In the Koh Chang case it was an over the top assault by the customer on multiple platforms over something he did that was inappropriate in the first place. I am reserving judgement on this one until more facts are in. I have never had an issue with objective and honest reviews.
