Frozen in time: British expats losing out on pensions in Thailand
I agree. If you have paid in, I don't think they should cut you off if you choose to go abroad. It would be nice to have the choice, not being cut off. -

Nice debate!
I don't understand.....he's already explained, these aren't lies......they are stories he makes up to get his position across to the hard of thinking.... he is not lying.....that being the case it does seem unfair he should be fact checked. -

School Bus Fire Claims Multiple Lives and Injures Young Students in Rangsit
Me and Thailand just don't mesh, I hate it here with a passion. I should have never let my wife come back after finishing her PhD, I should have kept her in the USA, and paid back her University (she owed 5 years time to them - or repayment) . We would live a much better life where we were living in the USA. I kick myself daily for making the wrong choice of letting her come back here, and me following her.....Really ...Really... Really bad choice! -

Thai Court Orders Extradition of Vietnamese Activist Amid Rights Fears
Montagnards Stand for Justice. Google search: Registered in the USA, the MSFJ boldly advocates for the fundamental rights of the Montagnard people, who are indigenous to Vietnam's Central Highlands. Tragically, many MSFJ members have endured severe religious persecution and unjust land grabbing. Montagnards. Some of them worked for US Army during the Indo China War(1960-70s). As the hired mercenaries serving American Special Force Unit Green Berets(A-Team) to counter NVA regulars and irregulars using Ho Chi Minh Trails. Attacking their units & sabotaging their logistics. In Lao, part of Mon tribe played the similar role back then(they started to face Laotian govt's retaliation since they lost US backing in postwar period). The Government of Viet Nam seems to be doing the same to them. -

Bank of Thailand Intervenes to Manage Baht's Exchange Rate
When a different story was posted yesterday I went to the WISE site to see what I would get if I transferred a sum of money to Thailand. I noticed my last transfer was 2 weeks shy of 1 year ago. However, if I had transferred the same amount now that I did a year ago, I would receive 27,000 baht LESS than last year. Most (real) tourists do not scan exchange rates daily/hourly and plan their trips based on if the currency in the destination country has strengthened or weakened over the course of the previous couple of weeks. Most (real) tourists have little or NO idea what the exchange rates really are until the day they travel and see the rates at the airport. They have NO clue if the currency in the destination country is "firmer" than it was months ago. Or that they could have gotten a few hundred more baht if they'd travelled 3 months ago. It's mainly BIG businesses and Stock Market related businesses that pay such close attention to the rates as they deal in 10s-1,000s of millions in transactions daily. If Toyota made ฿500 mil in exports this time last year and only got ฿450 mil this year for the same volume of sales, it would be a significant loss. (By my rough calculations based on the WISE exchange rates of today vs 15 Oct 2023, the baht is about 10.81% stronger now than at this time last year.) But for Yon Wang from Guangzhou who is getting 4,641 baht for his 1,000 Cny (Chinese Renminbi) instead of 5,142 he would have gotten last year, it probably isn't going to make a difference because he probably wouldn't have a clue that the baht was weaker a year ago and would have no idea of how much less he will get this year. All he knows is, he was 1,000 Cny to spend on his vacation and when that is done, he goes home. End of story. -

Yes there are ways around it but that would be illegal to undertake. The choice is yours. -

Nice debate!
Sadly, he doesn't quite have the 'wherewithal' to pull off being a troll.- 1
