Re: Where to buy property in/near Hua Hin

Apart from the fact that Thai will be a Chinese province in another 30 years, the add on 30s are not going to be enforceable. That opinion from a Law professor. Advice to OP---RENT, dont buy at least initially, take your time to look around and ask around when you are in HH.

Re: Thailand tourist slump continues

No problem, each tourist could be fitted with an electronic device so that they can be located at all times. This could be backed up by a series of drones that can administer pepper spray. Have a nice day!

Re: Flying into Thailand, latest updates

Thai immigration must be salivating looking at the Cambodia ruling that any arrival has to deposit $3000US to cover any convid expenses. If any one person on your flight tests + then you are forced into a govt quarantine site and charged accordingly.

Re: Dual-pricing in Thailand: Is it time to do away with the 'farang tax'?

This thread reminds me of another endless thread about the appalling standard of driving and loss of life on the roads. I suspect that both threads will go on as long as there are ex-pats living here But and its a big BUT--nothing will ever change.

Re: TV series worth downloading

Covid, racial unrest--I dont to watch anything too dramatic--I find comfort in strange choices--Baking Shows, Tony Robinson's archiological digs and perhaps an occasional terribly well-bred and ludicrous murder in Midsomer.

Re: Coronavirus (Covid-19) News

The number of deaths is numbing,so large and changing everyday.
UK deaths now at over 42,0

That is like 16 loaded jet liners crashing with no survivors'

It is like 14, 9/11s

Every day for two weeks a 9/11 happening to 14 different British cities.

For the US it is like a 9/11 everyday for 6 weeks.
