Re: News of the Weird - this just in!
They need to cull the damn things to get their numbers down to a manageable level, but that would set off a Buddhist revolt no doubt.

TM6 entry form
Just a quick comment on this one. The requirement has been suspended since 2022, but only for people entering the country by air. It's still needed by people entering by land, or by sea. I wasn't aware of that second part.

Chiang Mai Listed Where Couple Can Retire for US$1,500/month
This is so misleading and WRONG it makes me want to spit! Yes, they can live on that amount or less if they would live like a Thai. If they have any ambitions of living anything close to a modest western lifestyle their dreams will be dashed on the rocks very quickly. By then perhaps too late to go ...

I second that. Thanks Ralfredo, it takes time and effort to put a listing with links together like that.

Re: Travel: Asia & Further Afield
1990 to 2012, I probably had more hire cars than the rest of the forum combined - never heard of that one, and we used all of the top companies e.g. Avis, Budget, Hertz, etc., etc. Yes, I agree. In the US I used to get drop off charges waived if I turned the car into an alternate location where the...

Never had them ask for more so maybe they absorb that if they make a mistake under charging. Edit: Have found less hassle if the buyer ...

Re: Travel: Asia & Further Afield
I can't help unfortunately Pharvey. I've been back to the USA 5 times in 20 years, with the last time in 2019 just before Covid began. My advice is worthless concerning current prices and the like. If I see or hear something useful I'll post it up.
