However most export except rice, has been down last 11 months, reported weekly by the local news. Arrival numbers are much lower than predicted. The time to increase is not now. Even a small increase from 800k to 1M for retirement, would see a significant drop in expat community. * Cambodia, Vietnam, Laos, Philippines doesn't have these 400/800k criterias, so single expats on retirement have alternatives. Agree, and some people are very concerned (sleepless) if they can continue their life here in Thailand, due to endless scare mongering by some. Stay calm and stop read obvious rumours. Just prepare a Plan B if you haven't done it, years ago.

Have I Missed the Boat ?
Shop mak replied to lolex's topic in Thai Visas, Residency, and Work Permits
Your gut feeling tells you that you have missed the boat. Trust you gut feeling, it's seldom wrong. Can you find any insurance that will accept you at age 72?? I doubt it, previous topics mentioned max age 60, a few 65. Yearly premium at your age maybe 6,000 Usd+ for a good insurance. Time has changed. B1m for emergency and self insure isn't enough these days. At least B3m for serious medical emergency at age 70+ in private Hospital and 14 days hospitalization. First days can be 60-70k and add on surgery in range B300k to B3m. Public hospital 10-20k day, surgery way less than above. We expect some changes to married visa and retirement, although personally I don' think it will be as much as some fear. Was a topic about that 1-2 months ago here. B9m if you sell everything, but do you think that is a smart move? Many of my expats friend surprisingly moved back home to their country due to serious health diagnose, most was age 65+ You want to move away from home. At 72. If you kept 2/3 of your assets back home or in separate emergency fund, and added 1/3 to your monthly pension, you would have 56,000 monthly. Enough for a family of 3 living in the province. As other mentioned, bring your daughter (and wife) to Australia. Daughter get excellent education and english You can continue work as long you feel for it. And when health decline, you have medical care you're used to. Win. Win. You missed the boat, choose a better alternative, bring your family there.- 144 replies

Arrest Warrant Issued for Former Pattaya Mayor Over Condo Approval Case
Shop mak replied to webfact's topic in Pattaya News
This was expected, but Cambodia??? Big Joke is (was) already there on another callcenter mission. Maybe he can solve both cases in 1 go. -
Thanks for the video. Reading all comments: 'overpriced and not advertised at all + dual pricing'. 800 was discounted price, ordinary price 1,100 I can't imagine many thais want to part with 300 for this service either. Bus starting from side entrance of Central Festival are out of sight of the huge foot traffic on both main entrances on Beach road and 2nd road. Let's see what changes they make before November, if any. Good luck, they will need it.

'The police reported that they could not issue any punishment against the abbot for now because he denied the allegation. An investigating officer revealed they would await scientific evidence on the matter before processing a legal charge against the abbot.' And that might be impossible, if there was no penetration. So will he walk then? Or be defrocked as soon as they can locate him, and then press charges against him.

Business leader sees tourism as key to Thailand’s economic growth
Shop mak replied to snoop1130's topic in Thailand News
Thai airways could create new routes asap, and landing slots wouldn't be a problem. Win Win. Only 4 months left of this year so 3,0 million chinese arrivals would be more realistic, only if TG started new routes now. Thailand still depends too much on tourism. -

hi, how is with the visa in phillipines?
Shop mak replied to parafareno's topic in Visas and migration to other countries
Visa related. 1. ACR-I card (Fee) are a obligatory card you will have to pay for at Immigration, when 2 months in country. 2. ECC Exit Clearance Certificate are required if you have stayed in country 6 months. 1 week before departure go to immigration with your departure ticket. You can't leave the country without this. Some airports can issue ECC, but to be on the safe side you better do this at immigration office in the city. https://immigration.gov.ph/services/alien-registration/acr-i-card-issuance https://immigration.gov.ph/visa-requirements/non-immigrant-visa/temporary-visitor-visa/extension-of-authorized-stay-beyond-59-days -

Best post of the week 555 __________________ Here in jomtien Pattaya area we can just walk by any coffee shop or cafe with outdoor seating, and expats are everywhere from 10am. Easy to say hello, can I sit down, and new (enemies) friends can be made. I usually check out the guys a few days ahead, to avoid those who always discuss politics or religion, and alpha-males and wannabee.

Until she claim, or actually withdrew her concent. Happened before. I personally find anyone younger than 25 year old incredible immature and annoying.
