Problem is most expats don't know this is happening. The Thai Slopiganda machine and Youtube shills are pumping out blue sky and heaven on earth. Give me your 800,000K, Give me your Elite over priced visas, Sell me a home that is never mine, make me report every 90 days, make me update my visa every year. And in return what do you get, choke to death on the polluted air and disgusting beaches.. The sharad is up Thailand.

This Thai propaganda nonsense is getting out of control. -
It was bad the years I live there but nothing like it is now.. My goodness. I would have to have an oxygen tank for sure.

Heatwave in Thailand greatly affects outdoor tourism
Gknrd replied to snoop1130's topic in Thailand News
Thailand is just a lost soul at this point. Heat waves that will continue, pollution affecting millions and killing many thousands a year. Yeah, sign me up for that. -
Chinese Tourists Revive Thailand Tourism Using ED Visa
Gknrd replied to webfact's topic in Thailand News
Thailand bet 100% on China taking over the world.. haha. Now it has no alternative but to do all it can to attract them. With China's economy imploding at an exponential rate. Thailand has burnt its bridges. Fade away slowly. Thailand and China will fade away holding hands and blaming the West for all it's problems as usual.. -

How to retire in Thailand
Gknrd replied to CharlieH's topic in Thai Visas, Residency, and Work Permits
About 4 years ago. Was back last year for a few months. Until the pollution got to bad. I still come back occasionally. Just to visit friends. But, let's face it. It's a shi$$ hole now.. This time of the year. -

Curious, so you picked Thailand as a retirement destination? Or just travel to Thailand occasionally? -

How to retire in Thailand
Gknrd replied to CharlieH's topic in Thai Visas, Residency, and Work Permits
Only in some areas. My area is very safe. You obviously have never traveled much. Different in every country. Personally in the slums of Thailand it is pretty safe. Here it is not. In upscale or middle class areas it is very safe and very nice. -

I lived there for over 10 years.. Still have fond memories. But, Thailand is not a retirement destination for Western expats. I try to do my part. -
How to retire in Thailand
Gknrd replied to CharlieH's topic in Thai Visas, Residency, and Work Permits
Right now I am sitting in a western style condo in Colombia . Backed up to a nice stream with lush , almost jungle. Tropical birds singing . Temperature about 65 F. Clean air I can breathe. Not as safe as Thailand after dark. But, extremely nice to say the least. Will be here 6 months then head back to the US. Would not of been possible if I had sold out when I moved to Thailand. Different strokes I guess. Not to mention I can stay for 6 months hassle free on a tourist visa. Just me I guess. I prefer clean air to breath, clean western style amenities and reasonable prices. -

Gknrd replied to CharlieH's topic in Thai Visas, Residency, and Work Permits
Wise decision, most come to Thailand in pretty bad shape financially. Then when it gets bad have no where to go and have to stay for life. Best thing I ever did was not sell my home and bring all my assets into Thailand. -
British Tourist Warned Over Criticism of Thailand Online

Foreign Tourist Robbed of Gold Necklace While Asleep on Pattaya Street
Gknrd replied to webfact's topic in Pattaya News
Can't feel sorry for these guys, same as you can't feel sorry for the land and house scams. Marrying a hooker, the list is endless. It's all been on the internet for years now. Even before the internet it was written about in books. Next sucker is right around the corner. Personally if I were broke and Thai, I would be waiting for the next idiot to step off the plane also. -
Thai Airways bids farewell to iconic Boeing 747 ‘Queen of the Skies’

And in other news, Boeing murdered two planes full of passengers because of greed. I am from the US and if I had my way they would be forced out of business. -
Frozen pension policy turns British expat's dream into a nightmare
Gknrd replied to snoop1130's topic in Thailand News
From the US and have no restrictions. I really feel for retiree's from countries that freeze the pensions like this. I am sure there are work arounds. Such as keeping an address, and bank in the UK , but I really don't know. I can say ,with the inflation it is tearing a hole in my pension from the government, and I have the luxury of getting all the increases. I am fortunate to not have to rely 100% on my pension, but before inflation I could almost live on mine. Now , not an option. -
Thailand's Heatwave: High Temperatures of 44 Degrees Expected
Gknrd replied to webfact's topic in Thailand News
Had to laugh at the pic on this post. Clear beautiful sky with the sun.. More like 44 with a pollution haze where the sun is almost blocked out. So you are sweltering in unbearable heat and breathing unbreathable air. Yea, I miss those days. -
Thailand Customs to Apply VAT on All Postal Imports
Gknrd replied to webfact's topic in Thailand News
When I was living there I learned the hard way not to buy anything to be sent into Thailand. Not sure how it could get any worse for foreigners.
