Hua Hin Forum

Of all the 23 countries I've traveled in and the 8 that I've lived in, Thailand is the stupidest, per capita, country I've ever been to. If you appreciate living in " intelligent societies", it seems stupid on your part, to choose to live in the Land of Smiles. In fact, the whole idea tha...

I'm flying back to Thailand after a short UK holiday, and travelling to Hua HIn. The cheapest Test and Go package I can find in Hua Hin is 8,500 Baht! The room would normally be 800 Baht, the taxi 1,600 Baht, so that leaves 6,100 Baht for the test. I have to do it, but I wouldn't book a holiday with...

I know it's a popular theme on here to say how difficult Thais make things, but I have found things pretty easy here - dealing with immigration, hospitals, shops, bars and even ladies.

I've installed the app. The lack of English was a bit tricky, and so you have to guess a little. Once done though, it works great, and gives you ID on your phone without having to carry your license or passport. I recommend it!

Thanks HHinner. I heard about the app on Surf FM this week, who's tech correspondent was talking as if it was something new! Maybe they play a few repeats! Thanks anyway, I'll give it a try.

Has anyone downloaded and started using the DLT app for an electronic Thai driving license? If so, could you briefly describe the process?

The £5k loss on your funds, HH Tel - is that mainly exchange rates rather than the Thai Bank doing anything underhand?

Supplementary question - with O and OA visas, can I spend any amount of time in the UK or Thailand in a year, providing I have the necessary Re-Entry permits?

So if the proposal to allow foreign ownership of 1 Rai (A little less than a 1/4 of a football pitch goes ahead). What could you do with the land? Can you build and own a house on it? Under the existing law it is already legal to build and own any building in your own name. Where you put it is some...

That's useful thanks, so to re-cap. In Thailand I would be able to apply for the O Visa without needing to have a medical policy, but if I apply, say in the UK, the O-A requires some for of medical insurance?

Is there any major disadvantage to a retirement visa (other than the obvious - you cant work)?

Also, I was told there are two types of retirement visa, and one has advantages? Any one aware of what this could be?

This is not exactly breaking news The whole of Thailand was talking about this a few months ago. I got quite excited myself.
If you want autobahns, rather than a barefoot monk waving his rhythm stick, maybe Germany is a better place?

What is all the fuss about Covid? Despite all the precautions, Deaths: 5,504,015. Without precautions ?
Antivaxers : Multiple choice question:

A. Stupid

C. Ignorant
D. All of the above.

I can't quite remember when I stopped checking if HH was Blue/Orange or even Deep RED. Life has carried on pretty much as before. Most people in HH are double jabbed, very responsible and sensible.

"Are you aware of a reopening date Robin of Loxley? "

Both making preparations, no formal dates but a weekend would be the logical time to take a look.
