The plot "sickens" apparently he's in the UK with family. Perhaps he can link up with R Bull and Yingy? They could do business together. Thai resto in Mayfair? TIT

We've used the small ferry/float many times years ago at Pra Padang to cross the river on our HD's.With a good GPS it should be easier these days. I'm not so sure I'd tackle a ride to Hua Hin on a Honda Click though. Your ass will never forgive you. Forza yes.

Exactly D...Thats whats in the future. The BIB want it illegal for more backhanders.So obvious!

Actually I was online looking at flights to Siem Reap....555

FYI, I'm a retired Canuck here, I'm a non resident and have a non res account with CIBC.A few years ago they began offering (so called) free overseas money transfers.I began having my pensions sent to my Kbank account for a couple years.The amount that actually arrived here was about 60-70 Cdn $ less than sent.CIBC gave me a <deleted>ty ex rate. (hidden fee) I then found Wise. Now the upfront fees are about 20$ using them. Follow "Lacessit" suggestion and enquire around. See if Wise can provide the FET paper. Do your homework as it will pay off.

Apparently if its registered as a "hotel" its legal. The dodgy part is the Thai lady being a nominee representing the Chinese. We all know farangs with registered businesses that have their residence listed there. Same thing?

I am a victim if the hotel act.We were happily living in our house in the moo ban for 17 years. One day they knocked down the house next door and over the next 6 monthS built a large 5 br pool villa. It's listed in Booking.com for rent as 3 day minimum, about 12k. A Chinese couple bought/financed it using the female moo ban manager via a proxy deal. I assume the chanote has the Thai ladies name on it along with a lease. Every week a new gang arrives and the pool parties begin from around 1 am till sunrise. The pool is located adjacent to the wall separating our house and master bedroom. I've spent 50k on mods for laminated windows etc to no avail. The best advice I received was to move. I now have leased a condo near Jomtien. The wife splits her time between condo/house. Much better for my bp and no 3 am wake ups. Livid in LOS.

C...That was my conclusion also. 2 years ago I was in the market.I found several used cars w low kms in lots online but they all wanted us to finance. Thats where they made their money. The difference between new and 1-2 yrs old was so little I decided to buy the new model. We got a 2021 Toyota Yaris Hatchback which we are very happy with. Smallish engine but suits our needs perfectly. My HD engine had larger displacement. 555

That is so true. I lived payday to payday most of my life.I got a job at 25yo and stuck it out for exacly 30 years and quit. I lost a fair chunk of my pension but could draw it right away which I did. I've been in LOS ever since and collect my govt pensions and have more disposable $ than ever. Now at 73 I think I did the right thing.

Also> "There's no roof racks on a coffin"

Next up, a pic of you with pants down on the loo to prove that you have bowel movements and evidence thereof...I've also heard of them requesting pics of the happy couple in the bedroom? doing what may I ask?

Meanwhile, The PM (stretch) is handing out Visa free options to anyone who is breathing.I know reciprocal Visas are the goal but the average personal income in LOS doesn't really allow for much globe trotting anyway.

IMHO If the cop took out his gun to enforce the law (traffic violation) then the whole story changes.He wasn't expecting any resistance to a drawn gun.I'm not defending the Kiwis but that fact should be made public.

Correct.Kbank app works a treat.

Good luck to them if they want to resell.We paid 2.4 m for our 2 br bungalo in 2007.It's been confirmed a few times now that I'll be lucky to recoup that if we sell even after I've done major upgrades. Unlike in the west where property values keep climbing unabated. At any rate it'll be left for my wife and her sister as I'm about to turn 74.

They are experienced travellers.Me and a mate took our HD,s into Cambodia,Laos and Malaysia with little effort. We used an agent to expedite the paperwork for Malaysia but I don't think it was necessary. I'm a senior and don't think I'd find it very comfortable this close to the equator trying to sleep at night.

Yes after 20 yrs in LOS I know or have met dozens of farangs that have bought houses/land under these circumstances. There must be a ton of villas in Phuket under these schemes of company proxy ownwership One chap told me his house is "covered" at it's in his solicitors name.lol

6:30 He states that the 30 yr lease is automatically renewable? I'm not so sure thats been proven yet. Another bugbear is it being willable? I'd need proof or examples of this 1st. They may be fine with the current lessor but things change over time a different lessor may not sgree with the original agreement. These folks are not destitute so even if they only got use of it for 30 years it would have cost them $277 usd/month if considered rent up front. 100,000 ÷ 360= 277.777

I worked there for over a year back in the day.Offshore and on, not very impressive.A large amount of unhappy looking people. IMHO

On my 1st visit to Pattaya in 1990 I met an ex SAS soldier in a bar on Soi PO..I'm ex military myself and I'm afraid he wasn't very convincing. I also had the pleasure of meeting an Aussie policeman in a bar the same area much later. He was working undercover at the time and couldn't tell me much about the case.All he was missing was the trench coat.Yes there are many of these fellows active in Thailand.

San Miguel light

I'd be pissed off also.He probably had dropped off a very thick brown envelope to make this all go away but the locals got a bone and they're not letting it go easily. If it were me I'd hide the Audi somewhere and fly the f--- away for for a few months. Life isn't worth much in the country. He's screwed.

I think you are correct.This might be a very good time for them to take a vacay to Singapore and sip a few slings until the smoke clears. I hope his Audi isn't allergic to keys.

My concern is with the side affects after the injections and the much higher mortality rates in certain age groups since 2021.
