EU suspends development funds in Myanmar after coup

well that is a little late - a grant of nearly $800m was given to Myanmar just before the military take over - I wonder where it is now - I have a pretty good idea -
Thailand plans to allow foreign tourists to quarantine in resorts
smedly replied to snoop1130's topic in Thailand News
tourists tourists tourists those smelly unshowered tourists you know what, I was chatting with a MB taxi rider a few days ago and I was saying "need farang come back" he just looked at me with and empty stare, even now after all this time some of them still can't join up the dots or won't admit the dots exist, hard to believe -
they are wearing them in the right places mostly something that is of concern are crowded bars were social distance is not being observed, owners are piling people in, restaurants are not far behind Some places have well spaced out tables Police in Pattaya are strictly enforcing the midnight closure but up to that time some places are literally packed with people, it makes no sense

Study reveals how much money you need to retire in Thailand
smedly replied to snoop1130's topic in Thailand News
well if you are 65 and have a pension of XX per year and live 14 years then it is pretty much accurate I suppose - lets go by the requirements for a 12 month extension 65k baht a month or 800kbaht a year - not hard to work out obviously depending on currency fluctuations etc Currently 800k baht a year is about 20k sterling and about 25k US x 14 is in the ball park figure of $350k or £300k, that is pretty much what Thai Immigration want to see The OP talks about savings which is somewhat misleading - I have already been here 16 years on a pension and I am still under 60 -

this is nonsense and does not seem to consider income as in pension payments which would offset the need for savings considerably -
Phuket was already failing pre covid due to stupid pricing, you want to resurrect your already failing tourism - stop the stupid rip off prices for pretty much everything and start again
