The reason for not insuring when you're relatively young and healthy is that you're much less likely to need it, but are still paying an ever-increasing premium whether you use it or not, as pointed out above. That money may be better spent on yield-generating investments (that can also be used as ...

whatever the costs when you join the annual increases are relentless. I have had a policy for 10 years with Cigna, never made a claim and have a 5000 pound excess and at 75 the cost is over 3000 pounds a year.

I visited Nan and enjoyed it. The Riverside art gallery is very large and would grace any major city. The surrounding areas are great to explore on car or motorbike. Long,winding and steep. There is an excellent Homestay just outside Nan but i cant remember the name unfortunately. I did a tour of Pa...

It just seems one of those contradictory areas where the authorities will let it pass when it suits them, and do something about it when it doesn't. Or when the locals start kicking up a fuss. That seems to be the crux of it, massive anti-Cambodian sentiment at the moment, they've always blamed Bur...

looks like Neta is in big trouble

I'm on a marriage visa. In Buiram i make one visit to the bank and get printed statements for 60 days. If i go to immigration in the afternoon there are no queues normally and the process takes about 20 minutes. (asuming i remember to take my wife along for the photos) Buriram being a small place pr...

Had not heard of the Deepal S07, but it will apparently be available in the UK very shortly starting at +/- £40K (would be interesting to know how much different that is from Thai pricing). Certainly looks good obviously targeted at the "Tesla Model Y" market here. As mentioned, charging ...

Also the maintenance manual is in Thai, i have asked the showroom to order me an English copy and hopefully one will arrive. My only problem has bee...

My bank in the UK insisted that i get a TIN (tax identification number) called PIN in Thailand. The offical at the Buriram office said i did not need one as i was not liable for tax in Thailand! Anyway she humoured me and gave me a PIN and this kept my bank happy. BTW my bank were very insistant tha...

Thanks for that

What paperwork is involved when you sell a car privately in Thailand?

That cheered me up after the hassle of trying to fill in a visa application for China

I tried last year and found out I had to physically go to Bangkok to do biometrics and submit a bunch of paperwork in person just for a tourist visa, so gave up and went to Japan instead, it wasn't worth the aggro. Things may have changed since, though, have a look here. https://bio.visaforchina.cn...
