Russian invasion creates a multitude of problems for tourism
robertson468 replied to webfact's topic in Thailand News
But are Airbnb giving up their commission? -
I have a Russian Guest who has just cut short his stay with us and intended to go to Czechoslovakia to start a new job in IT. The Czechs now do not want him! Sadly he is one of the respectful and nice Russians. I also have a Ukrainian who worked in Thailand online, but sadly his business has collapsed. He is a retired paratrooper and wants to go back and fight, but understandably his Wife would like him to stay put! A dreadful, dreadful mess all due to the stupidity of a madman, who hasn't got the first idea of tactics or resupply.

People are allowed to debate things that affect them personally, like pensions. Stop being so bloody obtuse, unless of course you would like to live in an autocratic Country like Russia? Whilst I am disappointed that my Government Pension does not get the increase that UK Residents do, what really annoys me is that I am paying tax on my Pensions, to subsidize the UK. But that's life!

Any Country in the World with any degree of morality should be imposing sanctions on Russia, furthermore, those who fail to do so and continue to trade with Russia, should come under the same sanctions as Russia. The World cannot afford to "pussy-foot" about on this, otherwise the next thing we know is Putin is leading us in to a Nuclear War and the elimination of millions of people. Putin has duped the World and now the World must punish him HARD.

COVID infection risk raised back to ‘Level 4’ in Thailand

Don't you read the Newspapers. Vietnam is about to open 100%, as others are, but of course what Thailand is worried about is that the masses might hit the streets again! -
Sending a passport, which courier?

You don't say why, or do you just dislike things Thai? -
When is my 90 day check-in due?
robertson468 replied to Paradise Pete's topic in Thai Visas, Residency, and Work Permits
Can be done online, providing the app is working, which sadly is not very often! -
"New" 90 Day Reporting Online
robertson468 replied to mackemray's topic in Thai Visas, Residency, and Work Permits
I tried it this morning and worked well (sort of) until I got to submit and it kept coming back with an error message. Tried the submit button over 20 times and no deal. Off to Immigration Samui today. I also tried sending them an email. You do not automatically get on to an email "new mail"site. Thailand you really need to get your act together........please! -
Thailand ranked 5th best worldwide for retirees by French magazine

And you have the statistics? -
Commerce Ministry pushes Thai digital content to the world
robertson468 replied to webfact's topic in Thailand News
Really?! It would help if they could get their current platforms function properly. -
Hopefully as time progresses the Government will realize that to test again on day 5 is not the best tactic, because arrivals will have been wondering around the Country with a risk of becoming infected. I believe that many will decide to go elsewhere. Thailand is not doing itself any favours with this "Test and go" system. Hopefully, as time goes bye, those in charge will review this rule and either reduce it to the original 1 day isolation, or like the UK do away with it all together!

Cabinet approves plans to attract long-stay foreigners to Thailand
robertson468 replied to snoop1130's topic in Thailand News
I had wondered what price tag they will attach to this? -
We have 22 rai of land very nearSurat Thani, which we are very happy to develop in partnership to develop a Retirement Village. As my Thai Wife is the land owner, it eliminates all the issues of Foreign Ownership, and could develop probably about 30 units plus per rai, plus restaurant, gym, swimming poo and medical centre. Please PM me if you are interested, or know someone who might be interested.

No mention of Thailand adopting a poorer quality vaccine!

I have been banking with Krungsri for nearly 17 years and this month transferred 60,000 baht in to my current account. They charged me over 1,000 baht to accept my money, which they will make interest on - disgraceful. I am currently looking at other banks for a better deal, where I don't get charged for giving them money!

PM Happy with Thailand Being Best Place to Retire in Asia
robertson468 replied to snoop1130's topic in Thailand News
Another "grass is greener on the other side post". I have been here now for 17 years and if I ignore the immature politics and corruption, life is great. Sure prices are going up, but they are everywhere else. Visas are a bit of a bore, but hey-ho, I have managed to get a married visa every year and was helped by Immigration when one year I made a nonsense of it. I have lots of very nice Thai Friends whom I dine with as often as possible and have a comfortable income from our various businesses and various pensions. The sun shines nearly every day and I am a great fan of Thai food. So, good food, good weather and good friends, with a comfortable income. What more could one want?
