  1. I'm thinking of maybe buying a villa in phuket in a year or two, budget probably around (10-15 million baht).

     

    - Id like to buy a new villa preferable in the bang tao area

     

    Just wondering from villa owners here , what has been your experience with these types of things..

     

    -Buying the villa through using a thai company

    -Taxes, expenses, maintenance costs with swimming pool etc, repair costs

    -General day to day life (Do you regret your purchasing decision, or  do you love having the extra space, swimming pool, a place to entertain guests etc). 

    -Mold growth

     

     

     

  2. Salmon price have risen from about 550 baht per kg, to around 950 thb per kg in the space of just 7 months (Phuket Makro) 

     

    Kind of ridiculous don't you think..........that means it now costs around £100 (5000 baht) for just 1 salmon fish

     

    Once prices rise, there's very little chance they will come down again.

     

    Salaries haven't increase in thailand or anywhere else in the World in the last 20 years

     

    Cost of living getting ridiculous

  3. I really , really don't think they will continue COVID extensions now after March 25th for the mentions reasoned below

     

    1) Many countries have now completely got rid of their covid restriction or nearly all of them e.g United Kingdom

    2) Land border between Thailand and Malaysia reopning April 1st

    3) The last COVID extension had much stricter rules applied, only tourist visa could apply and they were implicitly this is probably the last chance to get an extension

    4) Easier to fly to cambodia and other countries now to get a new visa

    5) No PCR test required before coming to Thailand

    2 tests more than what I am willing to do. Sorry but no. Maldives here I come.

    To be fair its only going to be around £100 more for the 2 extra tests........................Food + Hotel price in Maldives vs Thailand -  will come to Thousands of £££ more. Hardly any entertainment in Maldives also. Also Good luck getting a massage or renting a motorbike in the maldives £5 an hour/£5 a day, going to be more like £100 an hour, and the £100 a day for a motorbike
