    why only rent in future? How long did you own and what problems did you come across?

    I didn't make any money on the property, I probably broke even compared to renting. Meanwhile investing in property in other countries has seen good returns. I wouldn't put others off owning its just where I am personally renting would be my preferred choice going forward most likely. 

     

    My 'too little too late' comment referred to the government offering schemes to foreigners to invest, whereas for me I wasn't allowed to buy in my name only my wife's name and its too late as she/we already sold. If I were able to obtain mortgages in my name (even after paying taxes in Thailand long term this wasn't an option for me as I didn't own the property), then we might have held onto it longer, maybe.

     

    It wasn't even affordability, it was the fact I had limited options (and my wife had fewer financial options than I would be expected to have)

     

    In addition to this, the point is foreigners have their hands tied when there is no need for this other than to disadvantage foreigners who have setup a life in Thailand.

     

    Does this help? ????

  2. Its been a while since I needed to do this and my wife now needs to send just overt 1 million baht to the UK. She has Thai baht in a kasikorn account. She asked at the branch and they informed her she needs to give them one days notice in advance about what she intends to do..?

     

    Has anyone had any issues transferring Baht from Kasikorn or other bank to UK recently?

     

    Also I'm guessing it will be better to do the exchange at the Thai bank rather than the UK bank, is this generally the case?

    In fact, I might even be lower on the totem pole than the thing that bit my face.

    if the dog senses that you're lower on the totem pole than it, it will treat you as such.

     

    You gotta start to show your dominance in the household hierarchy buddy..

     

    For dog bite get a tetanus and rabies vaccine.

  5. I believe the recommendation is for any third vaccine. There is information to say that a combination of the vaccines can provide wider coverage although with the new omicron variant there isn’t enough research. I read an article that three doses of phizer have shown to provide 75% protection against the omicron variant. 
     

    I think the important thing is to ensure you gave a third vaccine. My personal choice for a third shot would be first choice AstraZeneca or phisher then moderna.
