I wonder how many of the old timers on 1 year extensions were in that group? I say leave the old boys alone and focus on the real troublemakers. Seniors are usually tucked in by midnight. 555

Or take him to BPH emergency and a 10k + bill. Reminds me of an incident several years ago at PIH. I was in the room getting some stitches removed from a minor operation.An Indian fellow was across from me just finished up getting several bandages applied from a moto accident. The nurse brought the bill for about 2500 ฿ and he said way too much I'll give you 1 thousand...just like the fish market.

Maybe so, I was referring to the kind that arrive in rubber boats with their hands out. Quite unlike us old gits who pay our way.

We did similiar but a smaller area.Cleared everything, sprinkled coarse industrial salt down (cheap) then layed heavy plastic and covered the whole area with decorative rock that we had. Pea gravel would work to.Maybe slabs would be less expensive. No sign of weeds so far.

yes..turn key revolving door 555

stop calling me Shirley

HF..very good point...many consider the 800k an emergency fund.However as you say, the moment they use it they've effectively nullified their visa. They may find themselves ill,broke and in a country with only a 30 day permit to stay. yikes

Yes , opening beauty salons is a good one followed by laundromats.Coffee kiosks are also on the list.I've witnessed all of these over the years (by others) exactly zero have worked out for the farang financier. One well off Canuck donated 50k usd for a resto that her family now operate...555

Back in the day we cut our 2 week vacay short by 1 week exactly for that reason.LOS is multiple times better IMHO.

Hi BMT, yes I visited there briefly in the past but its not 1st on my list.With all the rumbling about the IO rules possibly changing I'm undecided if I'd go to Cambo or PP. I'm not deeply in love with either place. I did like Battambang though. As long as there is good farang food available.

Agree, my 1st and last vacay there was in early 90,s. The companion fee was "up to you" The only reason Myself and pals never went back was because of the male species..making a Mexican thief look like a choirboy. Plus shotgun toting security guards everywhere.

Now you own it.I've been over there several times over the years and the last thing one does is change ALL local currency to usd for example. A couple months ago they even ahad a bonafide currency exchange in the waiting area upstairs at PP airport. Same rule applies for the Laos (kip) script. I jokingly asked for 1 kilo once at a money changer. 10k in Thai baht would fill an overnight bag.

I've been saying that for years.It's easy money for them and they don't have to deal with us foreign devils.I check the signature on my Visa every time and its exactly the same person. I'm told the agents only receive a fraction of the fee.

Yes...Windows 95

face shield maybe

Careful...you can go blind that way.. Just do it until you have to wear glasses..

I read somewhere that India had the largest number of English speakers in the world?

One told me several years ago they only get 1 k + unless its changed.

It depends if you are a non resident status or not.I'm a declared non resident retired in Thailand. I'm only familiar with form NR5. I filed under that and was granted a tax reduction for a period of 5 years.Otherwise all Canadian income is subject to the 25% withholding tax. Non resident is the key. I left Canada in 2004.

I order mine from this BKK shop and they deliver to Pattaya.Good product and price IMHO. mismyle_kitchen ..Instagram

Correct Smedly...problem is that most likely some cops may own some of the rental shops

Ditto,I hired a local tiler and I didn't actually get too deep into it but he did an excellent job and I get many compliments on the work. Over 10 years ago zero issues.

So sad so true. Nothing will change in the foreseeable future. My experience with police enforcement was a cop hiding in some bushes near Prachinburi jumping out and telling us we were speeding and seeing the farang driver asked my wife for 200 baht for coffee or we would have to report to the station in Thai. She turned to me and said..give me 100 baht please for the police..555 we still laugh about that one.

Yes it was a while ago..This was when his drivers (ex) , maids Et Al became suddenly very wealthy. The tax collector was on vacay in Hawaii. Thats a lot of cake..his siblings would have problems spending it all. Is Yingluck standing by at Heathrow?
