And its possible, without having made no contributions in tax and national insurance, to return to the UK after a working career outside of it, and receive full benefit of that NHS.

 

Todays taxes are to pay for today's healthcare, not tomorrow's.

Only emergency treatment for the first six months.

I have lived separately from my Thai girlfriend for 13 years. I much prefer living on my own.

Cash under the mattress!

I know this has been asked many times but where is a re-entry permit issued on leaving at Suvarnabhumi please? The Aseannow search engine is no help whatsoever in finding previous discussions of this.

The extra paperwork for which Thailand if famous will be enough to cause some to keep their time in Thailand below the 180 days thus depriving Thailand of the spending … perhaps to be spent in another lower cost country.

Yes I agree. Im a Snowbird and Im already calculating when I can return to Thailand in October to keep under 180 days for 2024. It will be more than a week later than when I would normally return.  My 1st week or so I normally spend in hotels at the beach so Thailand will now lose that income as I will travel straight to my NE residence.

Cool it Somchai! Your big fat brown envelope is in the post.

'30 Baht Plus'......So treatment can cost anything upward of 30thb? Sky's the limit same as any private hospital...555

Realise what? What was the lucky bonus?

They also now & scrape to scam buyers & then try screwing the seller over. I was selling heaps there years ago with never a problem and a big rating but as you said they are going down quickly. I won't do anything there ever again

Scam buyers? Its the scam sellers; mainly Chinese, that are now the problem on ebay UK now. And ebay favours them in any dispute hiding behind their dodgy returns guarantee policy and an incomprehensible procedural maze to get a refund. Unlike Lazada which I am really impressed with. Very easy and straightforward to return faulty goods and a refund follows automatically without having to claim.

If the ban begins midnight 23rd does that mean alcohol can be sold in bars and clubs etc until midnight?

Senile old men like Biden and Putin in charge of the worlds safety is scary. 

And with whacko Trump chomping at the bit on the side lines what chance have we got? As my dear late grandad used to say: "we are all going to hell in a hand cart...lol.

Here we go. The expansion of the Gaza war that Biden claimed to want avoid just kicked off. The US will retaliate, they will retaliate to the US retaliation and the next thing is more American boys coming home in body bags.

I just hope no other nation gets involved in it.

Thank you Benjamin Nutanyahu!

F e k k local communities, f e k k the Environment, f e k k pollution, f e k k Climate Change, the economy and money are all that matter stupid!

 But hey! Global comeuppance is coming and, as my dear old grandad used to say with a chuckle when things looked bad: "We are all going to hell in a hand cart!"

I’m not sure what you are saying

I’m talking about international arrivals 

even at the Chiang Mai airport international arrivals counter there is a bit of paper that says present boarding pass. My boarding pass is in my Apple iOS wallet or in the trash on the airplane. If that is is unacceptable they can check their records or even send me back. I do not care. Requirement? Utter pish 

 

I have flown to Thailand hundreds of times over 26 years asked for a “boarding  pass “ a hand full of times. Meaning 3-5 times 

It has only been required since the tm6 was abolished a few years ago.

It's seven calendar days, no matter if some of those days are week-end or holidays. So if your due date is a Sunday, the latest you can do your report is the following Friday (assuming that's not a holiday).

Don't you mean the previous Friday?

Some animal parts are valuable for medical purposes.  E.g. tiger weenie broth supposedly does wonders for the consumer's weenie.  Gets a pretty penny, so I'm told.

 

Quack Chinese medicine!

Had a friend do it not long ago so it is certainly open as before Covid.

Did you go to the Bear hotel?

 

I dont think so. Why? Is it a short-tme hotel? I only stayed a few hours. Played pool with some locals somewhere.
