I came to Thailand when I was 39 years old, that was 32 years ago now! Of course things have changed, like everywhere in the world! But here it has kept within narrow limits! I would know at once no better place, for me! I have my choice, in any case not regretted ... Until today!

Of course He can own a house!!! Just not the land on which it stands! Exception Company!

It happens more and more often and sucks big time! I now simply enter the article I'm looking for on Google and put behind the searched article the word "Thailand" e Then come immediately several provider pages, including LAZADA, SHOPOEE, JD, etc.. One clicked, then suddenly there are these articles also on LAZADA! Today I wanted to buy a fan. Ca200.-THB 5 times the payment could not be debited ??? Have then ordered the same at SHOPEE. Duration 1 minute incl. payment!

Looks like the one in your photo... ... 550.-THB https://www.aliexpress.com/item/32992507814.html?spm=a2g0o.productlist.0.0.75d54794pYDpir&algo_pvid=fd30430e-7b74-4dcd-9fff-99200abd0fd7&algo_exp_id=fd30430e-7b74-4dcd-9fff-99200abd0fd7-5&pdp_ext_f={"sku_id"%3A"66863150758"}&pdp_npi=2%40dis!ZAR!224.13!203.94!!!!!%402100bde116624419769035803eea37!66863150758!sea&curPageLogUid=Gl2vZKwvwT2C

But, I have some advantages ... There should be, even today, stores that just do not accept a debit card! Also as a security, for example, upon admission to a hospital, after an accident, this credit card can be charged! This does not work with a DEBIT CARD! With a debit card, the money is transferred immediately! With a credit card just not! It is only the sum "Blocked" and serves only as security. Likewise with the rented car ..etc"!

Is this ok ?? https://london.thaiembassy.org/en/publicservice/84710-driving-in-thailand?page=5d6636ce15e39c3bd000734d&menu=5d6636cd15e39c3bd00072e2

An "International Driving License" is ONLY valid in CONNECTION with a VALID NATIONAL Driving License"! WORLDWIDE!!!

Just scan the "barcode" on the battery... There comes already a result ... GOLDPRO MobilPhone

That's not quite right.... As a FARANG without verifiable income, so without a work permit they usually get No credit card in Thailand! But there is another way for pensioners in Thailand, which I also went! You have to open a FIX account with any deposit! I have 200.000.-THB deposited on it! Up to this amount I can pay with my Mastercart credit card! The charges are then debited monthly from your "savings account"! So there must be money in that amount too!!! The FIX ACC. will not be debited! It is only the bank as security and is also blocked! That is, you can also not withdraw money from this FIX Acc.!

Unfortunately, there is a lot written here that is not true! An "International driving license" is ONLY valid in CONNECTION with a VALID NATIONAL driving license"! Because, if one has withdrawn you the NATIONAL driving license, you could drive theoretically with the international! But since this is valid only in CONNECTION, so simultaneous presentation of the national just does not work! This also applies to Thailand! And at the latest after 3 months stay in Thailand, the Thai driver's license is mandatory!

I have had my car insurance with VIRIYAH Insurance for 20 years now. There was a time when you could register special drivers and get a discount! However, no other persons were allowed to drive than they registered! The problem was that in emergencies but also sometimes non-registered people have driven the vehicle! Thereby there were some problems! Therefore, that is, at least with my car insurance were canceled! First Class insurance, no matter who drives, the vehicle is insured! 5000.-THB deductible for self-inflicted accidents, regardless of the amount of damage! Type 1 Policies provide the maximum amount of cover for peace-of-mind: Liability to damage to life, body, or health of third parties Property damage of third property Damage to the insured car due to fire/theft Damage to the insured car FriendlyFarang to your comment: " This is not correct" ... Ask your embassy or inform yourself on the internet!!! National driving licenses alone are not officially recognized in Thailand. For stays of more than three months, a Thai driver's license is generally required.

There is some information that is not correct... From three months stay only a Thai driver's license is valid !! A driver's license of the home country, is only recognized in conjunction with an international driver's license! The registration of, for example, a second driver, has nothing to do with the possible claim settlement! There is also no restriction! It only lowers the insurance premium, if only the "registered" drivers drive the vehicle!

That is just absolutely common behavior here! The toughest are the moped suppliers... LINE...GRAB..etc. The have to 99% the cell phone always while driving in the view and communicate with the receiver! The same also applies to moped services like Kerry etc! The police just looks away...Just like the parents! The whining afterwards, is just a consequence of it!

I've only used Logitech for years! Currently these: LOGITECH C615 FULL HD 1080P You can get them at LAZADA from 940.-THB incl. shipping!

How about a new monitor ??? You can get them from 1200.-THB for a 17 up to a 27 for 3.200.-THB. For example here... https://www.lazada.co.th/products/a-ier-monitor-19-22-24-17-19-22-24-vga-desktop-gaming-lcd-monitor-monitor-display-tv-computer-monitor-interface-type-vga-i353320277-s692400884.html?

I use a Fagor water heater, which brings hot water now for 20 years, without problems in my Condo! In my house in Spain also for more than 25 years without problems !

The but then at a touch of the keyboard, for example, from the cat, went on again immediately! This just does NOT happen when using the monitor switch!

The easiest way, which I also use, is to turn off the monitor at its own off and on switch! This is usually also not so far away from the keyboard... ????

In all, me known insurance, there is in an accident with a moped cab for the passenger no additional insurance type 3 (500.000.-THB are possible) if the moped as a cab (yellow license plate) or for rent are used! Ergo maximum 50.000.-THB in case of an accident, but not for the passenger, so YOU ! This is the compulsory insurance for mopeds in Thailand, also for mopedtaxi,s 1.) Compulsory 3rd Party Coverage - CTPL (compulsory insurance). Third party medical treatment: 50,000 Baht per person Third party death: 100,000 Baht per person Maximum amount: 5,000,000 Baht per accident Third party property damage: Not insured own hospital costs: Not insured Passenger: Not insured Note: "Passenger: Not insured".

He, don't mind a few more coins....!! In addition, his wife regulates everything for him... ,Of course at Thai prices ! ????

With insurance for passengers it is not like in the EU! Even when driving with BOLT you are NOT insured!!!

I was before, NEVER at a screening, for what also? Because of my COPD, which I have caused myself, by 40 years of heavy smoking, I have to take medication. This disease will not insure ANY health insurance!!! If I am well, I do not need a doctor, if I am not well, I go to my family doctor! For 16 years I no longer smoke, and the difference is already huge! I get up for years at 6 o'clock, then walk 20 floors (400 steps) in my condo, then I go swimming for 20 minutes. I do all this 3 times a day! In addition, I walk daily between 6 and 12 km! I have an accident insurance for 200.000.-THB since 6 years. And a Visa friendly health insurance for 600.000.-THB with an excess of 200.000,.THB for 3 years. This is my emergency insurance! 7/24 available, everything in Thai, can go to any private hospital, and the hospital immediately sees that he already 600.000.-THB and in case of accident 200.000.-THB are safe! Contact with the insurance 24 hours a day guaranteed! So that must be enough for the first... ????

Can it be that they never leave the house? I live here permanently now 32 years! And double, and even higher, prices for farang, I see daily!!! In almost all tourist facilities, in parks, in hospitals even more so, due to the farang-friendly decision of the government, for some years even in de government hospitals! Or you just don't want to see that...???

It's all there! 62.000.- The KV because of 50% discount and 300.000.-THB deductible!
