You forgot to mention Malaysia which is very much enticing retirees with good policies & Indonesia which is anotther option...why would the extremely rich want to come to thailand anyway with european countries so much more compatabile & less dogs and monkees roaming the streets to attack you, and traffic that is willing to stop for pedestrians, and the less likely hood of food poisoning ...Richer retirees are not going to cop this and again thailand will be the big looser...

Pattaya again..the way they write down your bears and you pay at the end has always been open to scams..I make sure to pay for each individual drink as served as have been scammed before..

I can imagine people will begin to by pass banks all together and bye safes to keep their money at home due to tax & very poor bank interest rates , bye gold ingots thus completely derailling this badly thought out idea...gold prices will rise as well as the baht which will be no good for tourism or economy..

I am sure any future thai casino would have Chinese funding as they are already crying broke ....just don't let them build it as per the last building failure & loss of life..

If you have had covid to any degree you know the difference between it and a common flu as it affects people to varying degrees ...anything else is just speculation & false news..

Exactly correct and when people can no longer keep their cats & dogs they will let them go wild in the country creating bigger problems..

Dangerous breeds should be totally banned as they will still get loose and kill...

Give it a rest mate, any country in the world with a marked out crossing and traffic lights and at least one car stopped would preset as a safety zone The car just did not want to stop... I remember the same,sort of accident last year where the driver said " I blew my horn but they didn't jump out of the way* so he ran them down... Is this the mentality of most thai drivers? No fault of any pedestrians..

The speed in which they were hit and the change of lanes at the last 50 yards contradics your theory....totally the drivers fault..

I think it's amazing the driver even stopped...they usually take off and leave you to die..

It has been policy for decades to have the central lift system as stability for the entire building...somebody changed that design and was approved by government...now they say it will take several months to access that design in which all public scrutiny will have diminished and all evidence will be cleared...and all charges dropped as families grieve their losses of loved ones and all compensation is limited and charges are dropped...

So with every thing payed for & bags packed to go, you have to sweat on the last 3 days that you can fill out a statement that will be accepted & a code is recieved by you knowing the reliability & security of past and present activities on the thai internet sites...how wonderful for your stress factors as you face the coming thai immigration scrutiny..

Chinese steel is considered cheap & inferior in many countries, and the lack of even that steel in the walls & columns of the building caused it to fall like a sandcastle...but the question is " how many more are identical ? " simply for profit margins and what of buildings now under construction, and trasparency is needed to save condo investors and people's lives..there is usually an inspection before each floor of concrete poured, or was this overlooked..

Maybe not a good idea to mention your a yank anymore mate as is the usual custom ..Trump has put you right in the lowlife line..or to the back of every line in every country...

It's like that big bird that hides its head in the sand until every thing has gone away..

A common problem which there has been a face book page dedicated to, thailand dog attacks, which is very gruesome indeed...you would think the government would make this a priority to solve this problem and enter the civilised world of travel destinations..

Well I am not stupid mate and I was to transfer money to my wifes account for a property investment so your dumb answers are not appreciated when a question is being asked..only intelligent replies are needed..

Thanks for thequick answer can you let me know for sure as i am overseas and need to transfer 1 million into her account in next few weeks Thanks..

Just had an email from Kbank regarding bank transfer limits introduced of 50000 bht per day .. Does this only mean from accounts in thailand only or include Transferring money ( gifts ) to my wifes bank account from outside thailand ??

If that is a picture of the dog in question why would you not put a bullet in its head..it is a dangerous animal cage or no cage and will attack again...

If the country had a strong leader who believed children & family were more important than animals that are prone to savage attacks then maybe most of these recommendations could at least be considered as other countries have taken certain measures...but until then the slaughter will continue..

Another day another dog attacks... if the governmenent had any balls at all they would ban ALL dangerous breeds from thailand and stop those hear from breeding...and of course owner liability would be first priority... but as usual NOTHING...

This is the correct method if income remitted to thailand & you stay in thailand for 183 days per calender year..

Same old story "my dogs out hole in back fence" "I'm wrong but no money" end story...

You cannot win if the police are corrupt or conspire with a third party, mainly thai against you ..I know that from experience..the thing about don't get in that situation is unavoidable in many instances, and yes legally you are compromised if you are a foreigner..
