Don't worry labour won't last a full term, their back beches are already getting squeaky bums and once their squeaks exceed 70db there'll be a vote of no confidence, a general election with Nigel becoming PM and making everything right again.

of course you have, and you were so successful that you're now in Thailand posting on an expat blog site. lol

All health/medical insurance is a scam, it's a one year contract and any medical condition that develops in that year will become a pre-existing condition for the following years.

Simple answer......if it has then the only people who've benefited is the retail chain and not the consumer. Which is not what was intended but par for the course here.

I wonder who's going to buy the phones for the impoverished ones to put their free sim cards in. Of course the disabled millionaires will already have a few spare phones knocking about!

That makes the 210 baht per hour remuneration even worse.

So assuming a hour for lunch that's 44hrs per week at 40,000 baht per month which equates to 210 baht per hour. Do you really thinke you will get an expat technical translator who is literally competent in Thai, Russian and English for such a paltry amount?

Yes we know that, that is what we are complaining about, it never did this before and its annoying. Why have setting options that dont work?

Same here, changed setting and saved but still takes me to end of thread, annoying!

Yes.... but surely when you add in the single button mushroom cut in half, half a tomato, a slice of bell pepper and half a bulb of garlic to the 200g of cow meat you'll feel like you've eaten like a king and all for the amazing price of B1450+10%+7%, not bad for a starter!!

Sorry, your point is what? This is about insurance premiums not hospital facilities

There's always one doesn't read the opening post and subsequent threads but immediately launches into the stupid people and anti-Thai mentality and then try and convince everybody that the pointless idea is actually a good idea. The headline of the post is.... "Suvarnabhumi International Airport will begin offering an early check-in service by February. This new service allows passengers to check in up to 24 hours before their flight. The Transport Ministry announced this on social media, explaining that the goal is to make travel easier and to cut down on congestion at Thailand’s main international airport." Do you see any mention of luggage drop-off? And just for your information there are several luggage storage companies at the airport that have been in operation since the airport opened, about B100 per day. So to clarify; early check-in can be done online and only with the airline you booked with and baggage drop-off and storage has always been available. Like I said orininally it does not make any sense.

It still doesen't make any sense; airlines not airports offer early check-in online 24-48hrs before departure so why would you want to make an extra trip to the airport 24 hrs before just to drop off your luggage. It sounds like stupidity personified, which to be honest is not surprising for this country, they impliment ideas and withdraw them later when they go tits-up.

Dont know where this story originated from but it dosen't make any sense, it is the airline not the airport that determines whether there is online early check-in. It has been available for many years with many international airlines flying out of Suvarnabhumi. Maybe its a Thai Airways thing!

whoo...seems someone's a bit sensitive today, however it's nice to see you've found where the full stop and the exclamation mark are located on your keyboard. did you use a compass?

Geography and sarcasm are obviously not your strong points

If you live in the west it's eastern food, If you live in the east it's western food, If you live in the arctic it's southern food and If you live in antartica it's northern food.

47 minutes this morning from submitting 90 day online application to receiving "Approved" email. The quickest I've had previously has been 3 days. Well done Thai Immigration, can you try and apply the same ethos to the extension of stay procedures?

Yes......they were called council houses.

Yes but 90% of the value of my ISA was generated from 2004 to end of 2023, if I bring in £25K how do they determine what time frame that £25K is from?

ISA was started in 2004 with 20k invested each year and all dividends reinvested, I cannot for the life in me comprehend how the Thai revenue department will assess any income I bring in to Thailand from this ISA.

Just looked at the new Peugeot 408 GT 1.6L Hybrid, stunning car both inside and out, built under license in Malaysia and starts at a very reasonable B1.5m

All the money I bring in to Thailand is derived from dividends paid via shares held in an ISA which are tax free in the UK. How will the Thai revenue department treat income such as this?

With that mentality I suggest you stay in your western world.
