JJ-Thailand

Safety first?

No surprise!

Dubai next!

Got sick last year and needed urgent surgery at a private hospital in Bangkok but had to pay 800,000 Baht in advance. I had enough funds and after paying, their team of doctors and nurses got ready immediately for a complicated 4-hour operation. No money, no operation. The final bill including hospital accommodation, medication, rehabilitation and everything else was 1,4 million Baht, the 800,000 was only for the operation. Don't even think about retiring in Thailand without sufficient funds.

In some countries they will always perform a post mortem when a foreigner die but I don't know about Thailand. They seem to be a bit flexible following their own regulations.

A one-way ticket to Dubai is getting closer.

Agree, far too many farangs take a short cut and retire in Thailand far too early, without sufficient funds. Work longer and save up more is my advice before you book your one-way ticket to the land of smiles. I have seen many dreamers go bust here.

Pattaya hasn't been safe for a long time. It was great 20 years ago.

I understand that the ban exists because government employees used to buy and consume alcohol during their lunch break. Maybe not so much anymore, it should be abolished.

Dubai next!

DTV was never a good idea.

One more idiot!

Surprised? I'm not.

One more idiot!

Eventually Pattaya will turn into a ghost town.

It was in December 1979. Bangkok - KL - Singapore, no change as far as I can remember.

It is a piston from a UFO engine.

67,484 new cases were reported but many more were most likely not reported.

Aman is such a smart guy. 😂 😂 😂

Had Covid last week. Was sick as a dog for a few days but then it was not worse than a hangover. Now okay.

I took this trip 1979, looks like the same train.

Drug trafficking is still illegal.

There is a problem, my second report after returning to Thailand was rejected online despite the fact that I did it correctly and in time.

To be honest, Bangkok is a lot safer than most large American and European cities.

I thought prostitution was Pattaya's image.
