It says If I cancel no refund

I entered into a six month rental agreement in haste, I'm not happy here and I want out ASAP. My concern is how I should approach them on my departure. I gave one month deposit so I am going to lose that. Should I wait until the day before the rent is due and just say I am leaving and let them take anything owed for water and electric out of the deposit or would I still have to pay that on top ? Would it be better to say I have to return home urgently or tell them the truth that the room is awful and I can't stand another day there? Any other points to note when exiting earlier than expected ?

If you mean at the junction of Second road and the road going to the beach by the " We know what you want " pub I've got footage of that too...lol I was staying at VT2a at the time and filmed it from my balcony Not sure it was 2016 though so may have been a seperate incident Don't ask to see the footage because it's on my pc back home in UK.

It's on my phone, I sort of missed the best bit because I thought I had pressed the record button but I hadn't .sometimes it is difficult to see the screen in daylight and in a hurry. But it's still worth seeing. Not sure if I can upload it from my phone to this platform. Can't promise anything but I'll have a look later, got a busy day today.

You can apply that logic across the board in this country and that's what makes it affordable. I don't think I would get a better massage from someone with a wall of certificates The same thing would have happened but they would have charged me more for it.

I was on my daily walkabout while the cleaners make up my room yesterday and as I walked up Third road Pattaya Tai end by soi 33 towards Soi Lengkee just 50 feet in front of me there was a loud explosion that made me jump. Sparks and flames belched from a major power cable that had fractured from the overhead lines just in front of me and the two ends of the cable semed to writh around like a fire hose let loose. Fortunately for everyone the two ends of this cable, which burst into flames, fell on the tin awning of a shop below and no one was hurt but it could have been so much different and I think if those cable ends had connected with anyone below it would have been instant curtains. Some Thai ladies in the rooms above the shop looked out of the window and saw the flames. they must have panicked because they went back inside and emerged with what looked like bedding and made as if to throw onto the burning cables to douse the flames. By then a crowd had gathered to see what was happening and screamed at them not to do that. I managed to get a little bit of video but missed the most dramatic part. I've seen some of the small bundles of cables catch fire before but never been so close to a powerful explosion of a major cable.

I deliberately sought recommendations from other people for a reputable shop where I could get a health massage with no funny business. The one I used to use called Eden closed down in the pandemic so I had to find somewhere else. I don't think there was anything wrong with what she did. I've had the same type of massage hundreds of times before. It's just unfortunate I seem to be prone to this especially after a long time without one.

Thanks All the constructive comments are greatly appreciated.

Yes please do. Do I have to pm one ?

Oh give it up <deleted> man ! You are a bore. Go and do some gardening. Must be the smallest garden in the world since it only took you 5 minutes before you came back and bored us all again last time you did it.

I started it to help me be clear in my own mind if it was the right route for me to take and in that respect it has helped. Because I know realise it is not. I do agree that it is time to close the thread though as listening to grown men bickering like school children is tedious. Thanks for your spiteful comment.

But did you make your original visa application with the agent or by yourself ? Because that would affect where you report.

I am starting to think border runs are the answer after all.

If the agent is doing the 90 day report presumably they take care of the change of address at the same time don't they or is this getting complicated ?

Or you pay someone to stop the traffic.

Well you've certainly put me off the whole idea so I guess it's back to the drawing board.

Have a good day. Thanks for your point of view

Isn't that where you think you are ?

At my age they had better get a move on.

I see Do you think 30k would cover all of that ?

Yes I was hoping that would be included in their fee.

Yes that's the plan. I do have Kasikorn already but I understand that's not the favoured route they take.

The answer to that is at this point I'm not willing to tie the money up here as I don't believe it is the best use of it and an agent can smooth all the other wrinkles I constantly hear about. Thanks for your input.

I am planning to go and see a well known agent next week about getting a Non O visa for retirement. The reason is that I plan to stay in Thailand for the winter months each year so at least 6 months and rather than try to juggle visa runs, deal with extensions and the associated hassles which will cost me money anyway not to mention the border scrutiny from IO's. It seems a wise investment for me to make and some peace of mind that I can come and go when I want. Does that sound a sensible course to take and is there anything I should be aware of before I go to see the agent ?
