Waiting for the reenactment and pointing ???? ???? -
You sure you want to fork out all that money to come to ground zero? Hope you read up on everything that's going on in Phuket before you go through with it...

Not saying it's right, but the only ones complaining are the ones that don't have a lot of money. Honestly, if you go to the hospital in your own country I am sure its 3x's more, which is probably why he's in Thailand. Not only that, if you're insured you're not paying anything. I mean, you really have no say on how someone runs their own country. Like it or not. Why in the world would you go stay in another country and not have health insurance then complain they charge you more.

This honestly would be a big mistake. If a foreigner wants land and have a Thai wife it can be in her name so no real need to own land here. Problem is as soon as they make it law, the Chinese are going to come in and buy up everything and take over. Thailand won't be the same anymore. As a foreigner even I don't agree with this.

Retiring to Thailand
The Farang replied to Mario Cosmopolite's topic in Thai Visas, Residency, and Work Permits
I would say before moving to Thailand really decide what you are looking for in the place you want to retire. Every country has it's shortfalls. Although, in 5 years Thailand is rolling out some new home owner options for foreigners (40yrs max). The plus about Thailand is the good food and beautiful landscapes and you can meet some really good people. But honestly no one can really help you on this as you have to decide for yourself what it is you are looking for. Thailand is fairly inexpensive and the food is great but ultimately living here depends on what exactly you are looking for which you may want to detail here so we can give you a better idea if this is where you want to be. -

AstraZeneca-Pfizer vaccine mix to be employed from October
The Farang replied to Jonathan Fairfield's topic in Thailand News
If you look at the science behind each vaccine and how they work, why in the world would you mix them as they all have a different approach. Your system will not build strong immunity until you get a second jab of whatever you got first. That's how vaccines work. Mixing helps nothing. Not only that, there's no research behind Mixing two different vaccines. Nobody knows what will happen when you mix them. Looks like free research and development being done in Thailand. -
I wouldn't waste your money coming to Thailand now. Especially through the expensive Sandbox. Just so you know 2 days of the 14 day quarantine you have to wait in your room for PCR test results. Nothing is open. Most of the people who come are returning expats or Thais. People who have family or business there. Other than that its a waist of money. Curfew at 9pm which limits your travel around the country, crime is up more than I have seen it before, and the vibe now is totally different. One good thing is the beaches aren't as crowded but their is only so much beach you can do before wanting to do more. Covid is out of control in Phuket as well.

It's not necessarily a Thai thing. Take a look at the big picture. In this region and other neighboring regions It's hard to have a serious relationship because half people aren't faithful as there are tons to choose from if someone gets bored. That being said, they are used to relationships not lasting long and not believing someone promising them this n that. Especially if you don't live there they sometimes assume you have a family back home. You just have to keep trying till you find what you're looking for. As I said, there are tons to choose from.

Why not just use the Morchana tracking app they make people download for the Phuket Sandbox? Makes no sense to go looking around for a green piece of paper to show you're vaxed. Everyone has a smartphone by now.
