Let’s make Thailand the Global place to retire in. and when we con you into coming here we will tax the chuck out of you from the the previously tax paid income you have to bring in to live here…….. Obviously someone has been reading history and decided on a Dick Turpin policy, it can’t possibly be a Robbin Hood policy as he was reputed to give back to the poor and that will never do here.

Fatal motorcycle crash in Samut Prakan prompts investigation

Which is all very well BUT what about those of us who are responsible and purchase expensive travel insurance and would in no way ever be a burden to the host country? I personally have a £10,000,000 every incident health cover including Covid and if I have to pay this obvious rip off it could negate that policy leaving me with a sub standard Thai policy and a Thai government looking for every way to bail out of it. I am beginning to think that a CambLoasVietPhil option could be very real. So much for resurrecting Thai tourism, the rigmarole involved in just paying this charge never mind trying to claim on it if needed be will be enormous. It would be simpler for IO’s to check on entry if the traveller has his / her own insurance and charging those that don’t in a separate airport area, otherwise it will take even longer to get through immigration and on to our destinations.

Why ever would I do such a thing? you were the one who stated categorically that few women use them and when challenged you stated that you only new of two. So from that dizzying height you profess yourself to be an expert, whereas it is a retail FACT that the majority of sex toy purchases in the western world are made by women. Perhaps it is time for you to get out into the real world and start making comments from a factual point of view instead of your current very jaded one. It may also be time to stop using this forum as your own personal click bait exercise to enhance your post count, as most of the rubbish you reply with is making you look very foolish

British man recounts shocking encounter with racist Russians in Phuket
Jimjim1 replied to webfact's topic in Phuket News
He was there first and then his choice was replaced in favour of the Russians so exactly who is forcing there ways on whom? Methinks it was the Russians who in all fairness should have been made the wait. -
Yes I would look for him every time I came in here, he was so inspirational and never wrong. I never did not get to buy him the coffee I promised him after he helped me with some info and I will always regret that. I was out of the system for about a year and only recently came back so missed the posts about him but many thanks for the update Jack as saddening as it was. I think his like will be very hard to replace but I have to say you are doing a pretty good job yourself so more power to your elbow if you are happy to take up the mantle. Best wishes.

American TikToker condemns Bangkok taxi driver for trying to rip him off
Jimjim1 replied to webfact's topic in Bangkok News
Yes they are and we as users must report them if they don’t BUT the problems are legion if you don’t picture the driver and the licence on the dash and the taxi number plate as he drives away. The driver is unlikely to be the licence holder but this person will be listed on the licence and in effect is complicit in the scam, so all of the mentioned information should be presented to the tourist police and if they fail to act advise them that you will email all the said info to the Priminister. I can remember the last one saying it was the law and we should complain. And as for the tictoker, I suspect that he knew fully about this scam and has used it solely to enhance his bank account and in so doing has created an injustice to all of us. -

Cannot agree with you more. it never ceases to amaze me how thoroughly obnoxious some people are. All credit goes to those who know what this site is about and genuinely try to help. -
Barclays Bank to close UK accounts for British expats
Jimjim1 replied to webfact's topic in Thailand News
Slickest bank on the high street if someone is clever enough to set up a website for people to vote on this 100,000 votes is all it needs to get it discussed in the house and given the hardships these banks are causing they may well be told by government to keep these accounts open. There are millions of expats around the world so 100,000 votes is nothing. The banks were recently forced to maintain ATMs on the streets which they wanted to discontinue to make us into a cashless society so they would not have to pay salaries to employees to fill and service these machines. so with enough votes it is a serious possibility that they can be forced to maintain and service expat accounts. -
Barclays Bank to close UK accounts for British expats
Jimjim1 replied to webfact's topic in Thailand News
Absolutely correct, you can be 100% sure that this particular bank will alway DUMP it loyal customers especially if it is not making at least 30% from your money. I had almost 30 years of business dealings with them and you would not believe the dirty tricks they tried to play on me, from dumping my account and money in a non active account so they could seriously reduce the 1% interest they paid on my money to trying to change the interest terms and agreement by using the tiniest very very feint printed word trusting that I would not see it or be able to read it, but my eyesight is 100% and a printers magnifiers glass confirmed what I was reading, and when I confronted them about it they could not back track fast enough and they never tried it again. I only have a credit card with them now with infrequent use and immediate pay off the moment it is due so I expect that to go soon because they must be really p- - - -d off about it. Lets face it they are not exactly losing on these accounts just look at the charges for transferring YOUR money -
Go to the Dog not it’s bark write directly to the MD send it registered, complain bitterly but not offensively at the shoddiness of his staff but end it in a conciliatory manner by say that you find it unbelievable that such a fine company as the one he represents could intentionally be as bad as you have found it to be, and that the actions to date of Airasia’s customer relations department is seriously over shadowing any form of good customer relations which should be their first priority. It will be received by his PA who will show it to him and some form of action will be taken. Make you letter clear and concise but SHORT don’t waffle on just use as few words as possible. Enclose in a bundle any correspondence you have had both ways including reference numbers. Remember the MD is busy so he will breeze it and give it back to his PA to deal with. so remember SHORT, SWEET, CLEAR, CONCISE, FIRM, but NOT OFFENSIVE. an insult will get you one back and that will be the end of it. Good luck and if you are successful ( and I will be surprised if you are not.) PM me and you can buy me a coffee, I don’t drink alcohol.

One side of jaw causing pain, what specialist?
Jimjim1 replied to giddyup's topic in Health and Medicine
Why go down that road right now when an X-ray by a dentist will or should highlight the problem. However if it does not then go the other route. The problem may just be a tooth developing under an existing and the pressure of eating is causing contact between the two, resulting in pain. -
Thailand Ranks Ninth in the World for Country Most Open for Business

I see 4 of 5 low production costs being the only one with any truth behind it
