Recommendations for expat health insurance?
Celsius replied to PadPrikKhing's topic in Health and Medicine
258 a month at 60 is a normal price in Thailand for a so-so coverage, Healthcare in Thailand is not cheap and is certainly more expensive than a private healthcare in some European countries. -
There are a few things missing in this article if you don't watch Thai news. She shooter is "important" person hence the reason why the name is not released. The resort owner just opened after a long covid shutdown. He had to close and refund 500,000 baht to customers because of this incident. Oh well....

Buying Condo on Tourist Visa
Celsius replied to Eddie45's topic in Real Estate, Housing, House and Land Ownership
Absolutely the gold standard now unless you are buying Shangri la I guess. My wife asked some of her friends in real estate about this. The reason is the materials and quality of construction are worse than ever. The absolute rock bottom is being used. As for buying the older developments Thai are experts in beautifying the ugly things. As a matter of fact I'm about to do the same with this wall. Insurance is refusing to pay for it and address the root problem. So I'll just mask the problem and sell it to the next.... preferably Farang sucker. Before and after pictures coming soon. -

You can always buy it and sell it in a few years for a 30% loss. -

I also have to add something. I am a bit of a toy collector and I ordered a few things from Amazon UK and US. Shipped directly from Amazon, not a 3rd party seller. 80% of my orders arrive in criminal condition due to extremely poor packaging, Toys literally arrive in carton envelope without any protection and most of the time they look like someone sat on them. Amazon UK makes international return very difficult. They require you to pay shipping for yourself and they will reimburse you when they receive it. However, they want your postal receipt to be in English and once they denied the return because it was sent via Thailand Post even though tracking and country name was clearly visible. In over 1000 packages I ordered through Shopee and Lazada all sellers took extra time to properly package their items. Amazon has truly become a Mickey Mouse company. They treat both their buyers and sellers like garbage. When I say buyers do you ever notice the condescending and arrogant prewritten emails they send to their costumers about how they want to delight you with their service while completely ignoring issue at hand? The message is full of woke terminology and BS that makes you puke. Appalling.

Well it may be rubbish for Farang, but for Thai market it works extremely well. Their mobile app is superior, they release money to the seller only after you confirm everything is ok with the order and their voucher program is more appealing. I have started using shopee food over grab now as I can get some incredible deals. The only problem is that unlike Lazada shopee does not accept foreign credit cards and I like collecting my points. However bigger savings more than make up for it,

Foreigner Kills Two Teenage Girls In Songkhla Crash
Celsius replied to webfact's topic in Southern Thailand News
No one killed 2 girls. The motorcycle was driving at ridiculous speed and slammed into a truck making a turn. -
I have done it. I even registered as seller on shopee. You have to contact English speaking department through messaging app as they have special people who deal with foreign clients. You will need your passport and of course a Thai Bank account.
-
I don't think you understand and perhaps this is the reason why you got scammed and Lazada is not taking any responsibility, You did a transaction outside Lazada. You paid the seller directly, not Lazada. Hence he is not a Lazada seller.
-
If you buy from LazMall they will sometimes send it in their own branded box as it comes directly from the warehouse. Anyhoo, the op got scammed doing a transaction outside lazada. The "seller" used a Lazada box to seem more legitimate. Lazada will not cover this as it was done outside of their platform, something they warn about on their pages more than once.
-
Yes, confusing post. Not Lazada problem at all.

Always pay with a credit card. I always received a refund from Lazada, but frankly I never claimed one with a big ticket item. Sellers usually drop off the parcel at Lazada authorized pick up centers and there is no way you should not be able to track this or request a return from Lazada platform. Why didn't you just request a return? There is no need to chat with anyone, just upload the pics, select the reason for return and send the item back free of charge to the owner. I also sold a few items on Lazada and am very familiar with their return process. In all honesty it is actually better than Amazon.

Apartment vs condo. I know of no one who lives in a condo and pays non government rates, Serviced Apartments are a fair game IMO. More like hotels.

Tourist Visa for a Thai to Canada
Celsius replied to Tazmo's topic in Visas and migration to other countries
Very difficult. Expect to wait around 6 months or longer for a visa if approved. She will need references from work and proof of any property that she owns. Canada is extremely backlogged due to Afghanistan and Ukraine. I follow this closely as my wife is still waiting for ger PR that was supposed to take 6 months and turning into 2 years, It's the same with tourist visas. -

A French city approved burkinis in its pools. Then the backlash came

Most Western women should wear a burkini
