Richard 2020

I switched from 3BB to TOT because 3BB does not put fiber in condos!

Top Service Only call 1888!
In 3 years almost no failures,except for construction work and their accidents!
Stable 1000/500 line even with VPS no problems!

I had my gallbladder (with a large stone) removed in Korat at Saint Mary's Hospital after almost unbearable pain.

Minimally invasive, no pain almost no scar after only 3 months to see!

Stay in the hospital 3 days, in a 2 room luxury room with girlfriend!

Costs, with operation of my umbilical hernia, ca.280.000.-THB

In the BPH in Pattaya it would have cost me 3 times as much, so drive to Korat ;-)

I have been living in Pattaya for more than 20 years. I never went into this dirty water here. Not 1 time. And in Jomtien you have longer pipes going into the sea. They contain no drinking water... All the many people sitting on the beach. Where do they go to the toilet? And this not just to pee ????????????

Not only in Jomtien there are these pipes!

I live here now exactly 32 years and since then there is also in Pattaya ,at the "HIGH SO" Beach Wong Amat!

Sometimes a strong storm brings it to the surface!

And for years feces were pumped into the sea in Naklua!

As already written.

Deposit money in the amount of the desired credit line on a "blocked" bank book, and you get a real VISA credit card!
So relatively simple! 
I have also done so, at Bangkok Bank!

Why does an accidental death benefit prevent some of the costs?
Dead by accident...Then I need anyway no more benefit from the insurance!
I guess once 120.000.-THB ?
I also had a deductible of 300.000.-THB
As already written, there is no guarantee that the HI also pays everything!
Especially if it is expensive. Thai HI as well as so not!

Is that a criterion for quality, write a lot and be a long time in a forum member?

For me there are just many things that, for me, are more important than many forum posts!

Shall I therefore the status "Gold Member" probably not reach... ;-(

Then you should meet me ????

If I did something wrong, because only that I stopped working only at 35 years!!!

Could have stopped 1 year earlier ????

Pengasius, the CHEAP fish with the MANY other names ????

I have lived in Thailand for a good 32 years.
Was also long time health insurance!
These HI were but all NO Thai companies!!!
My experiences with Thai HI are not the best!
From an age of 65, the contributions increase significantly!
From 70 it becomes really expensive!

My last Thai KV - LUMA - has informed me in writing, on my request, the premium increases for the next years!
If you change age group, your premium will increase by about 30-40% overall - medical inflation and community rating are already included. They are not in addition to this increase.

If you are still under the same age group, your premium will increase by about 8-12%. annually!

So unaffordable unless I'm rich ????.

Save for 5 years I save 300,000.-THB annually and that's my HI

.
Was just in the hospital now,2 surgeries, went to Korat for this!

Price difference to the BPH in Pattaya good 350.000.-THB.

Paid I there about 280.000.-THB private hospital!!!

The main problem is actually that if it is expensive, the HI tries everything to have to pay nothing, or only a little!

If she dies and you inherit land, you must transfer it to a Thai within 6 months. 

Falangs can only own land in a short-term temporary status.

Of course a Thai buyer will pay you a SUPER PRICE, especially since he knows that YOU have to sell ????

This has nothing to do with the property/house located on the land!

The house is yours, but it is NOT on your land!

And a lifelong right of residence, is after the death of the landowner, possibly worth nothing, if the heirs do not want to have you in "THEIR" house ????

There helps only move....!!

Therefore, only a CONDO, in your name is a safe alternative!

But, the "Regular Income" must be earned in Thailand !

Pensions etc. from overseas do not apply!

Then it goes only about a "Saving ACC" which is blocked as security!
Example: 200.000.-THB on the account = card limit 200.000.-THB 

I think it behaves like this:

The beach chair rental Thai Guy  cooperates with a speedboat provider!

The beach chair provider promotes "HIS" speedboat for HIS guests, and gets commission!

Fetches now another speedboat at "HIS" beach section guests, so he misses his commission!

So ergo: Other speedboat "steals" guests!

Thai Logic!

I have never, during my 8 years, been told to show a 12 months statement here in Chiang Mai.

I have the 800.000 in a separate fixed deposit account. 

After all, this is something completely different!!!

Why should the immigration check your income if they have the required 800.000.-THB in the bank ???

I have been using CyberGhost for very many years.

Measures must be taken to discourage foreigners from using nominees to buy land next to their one-rai plots and combine it into larger plots, Meesak said.

One way to do this would be to set a minimum price for land for foreigners, he said.

For plots up to 50 square wah (200 square meters), he proposed a minimum price of 5 million baht in Greater Bangkok and 3 million baht in other provinces.
For plots of 51 to 100 square wah, it should be 10 million baht.
For land with 101 to 200 square wah, 50 million baht.
And for plots with 201 square wah to 1 rai: 100 million baht in Greater Bangkok and 30 million baht in provinces.
For land in residential projects, foreign owners should have half the rights of Thais when it comes to voting on matters related to the project, Meesak said.

Any questions ??

I bought a condo in Jomtien in the 1990s!
After only 1 year sold again!
Long distances, no nightlife worth mentioning, for all purchases over the hill to Pattaya..Annoying!
At night or in the morning with the motorcycle from Pattaya to Jomtien....
Not easy to find a "companion" who goes along!
At the end of the world...;-)

With "Wong Amat" made everything right!
It has always been a "good address" and you can see that in the last 15 years, what was built there in condos and hotels, and is still being built!
Who the footpath to Naklua Rd. is too far, there are plenty of moped cabs, cabs, and of course BOLD!
On weekends often great parties at the "Bamboo Beach" with disc jockeys and several super girls!
Just have a look in the WWW !

I have not yet read a test report in the last 10 years in which even 1 of these mobile Aircon,s has received a better verdict than "Poor"!

Yes, in the stores they spread cold air, which, however, from the firmly installed devices is supplied ????

Before choosing Pratamnak, I was interested in Sky Beach, but was warned that the elevators are very slow. True?  But now I live in Unixx and the elevators are slow haha.

THAT would be absolutely crucial for me too!
The speed of the elevators...!!
The condo could be ailing!
The main thing is fast elevators !!

Type this into Google... : sporttapes thailand

100s of offers !

https://www.facebook.com/SporttapeTH/

Information about the city would be extremely helpful!

Then just do not buy ????

Although you can return the goods, if not satisfactory, in any 7/11 or Family Mart again "Free of charge" and get your money replaced!

Risk too big ??
