Just wanted to firm-up some prices and I have converted this info to Baht: Draft beer and cans of beer are usually 23 Baht for 330 ml for the local products Beer Lao, I have seen large bottles for 53 Baht in the local supermarket Heinz Beans 36 Baht HP sauce around 26 Baht per bottle Tuk Tuk for a ...

I am qualified for retirement but keep busy with consultant work while I still have some oil in my tank. Up until maybe 3 years ago, I had the pick of maybe 3 or 4 gigs a year that helped my avoid 90-day reports but more importantly, got me out of this arguably blighted Realm for a reality check. L...

Have only been to Phnom penh twice in the last six weeks, for roughly a week at a time, but this place has potential in the coming years and is starting to move. I can't speak for the province areas, (haven't been there) but then my intention, if I did move there, would only be to live in the city o...

A change of personal circumstance, plus I just can't sit an twiddle my thumbs all day. Managed to keep myself busy part of the time, but some days are just very slow. Plus I am still at an age to do it, at least for a few more years. Another two - three years down the track and it will be a little m...

Hi Chriss 630 mm deep (from the face of splash back or wall tile to the front edge of your counter top, for Thai's I also set my Height (top of floor tile to the top of counter top) at 900 mm Also used Granite for the counter top - Thai's can't destroy it. Granite is not that much more expensive tha...

Hi John Nice to see that you are nearly finished and about to start your gardens, by the look of it. Don't buy your plants, just pot/grow them from cuttings. You would be surprised how many plants grow from cuttings, after you dip them in a bit of Root Hormone or Vitamin B1 and then just stick them ...

Good luck to you . Sometimes its not easy to adjust to not living by the clock , but you get a nice feeling you can do whatever you want on a daily basis. On a down note , you no longer get weekends and bank holidays off !!!!! Thanks and how true. Working out what to do every day, to fill that void...

"The new IS leader is identified as a scholar, a well-known warrior and "emir of war" who has battled American forces and knows "its wars." "So don't rejoice America for the death of Sheik al-Baghdadi," the speaker said. "Don't you know America that the state (IS) today is at the doorstep of Europe...

I have to live 26 weeks a year in NZ, if I want the pension all year..
overstay the 26 weeks overseas by a couple of days, and I have to pay the whole years pension back, not just the couple of days..so feel pleased with what you got.

Hi maaka

Sent you a PM

Hope it helps

I think pipoz is not banging on about the English being defeated and only made an informed call as to Eddie Jones's comments. Perhaps it was Eddie's attitude to the loss which caused his players to sook around at the presentation and not wear their 2nd place medals. Eddie Jones should have complime...

I listened to Eddie Jones's crap response in the after match interiew, when he defended the result by saying, something along the lines of, "these things happen and look we are still the second best team in the world". Sorry Eddie, but one game does not make you the second best team in the world and...

Brilliant tactics by the South African Coach. He did his homework well. You could see it in the way the Safa's tackled the English big men players and the speed off their line. As for Eddie Jones, well Eddie, you will just have to eat a lot of that sh...t that you peddled in this last week.

For those interested in the Thai insurance companies that can provide long visa stay insurance are listed below. The embassy link was on my previous post. This is straight of the Thai embassy Sydney visa application website. Insurance requirement for O-A visa applications after 31 October 2019. htt...

STWW , not quiet sure about all that? I understood it, that if I want to/try to extend my current Non Imm O-A Visa in March 2020 (out to 2021), then I will need to have my Long Stay Health Insurance in place by next March 2020 But between now and say February 2020, I can come and go from Thailand wi...

The intention now is that I will fly out for a week just before my Non-Imm Type O-A Vista expires, sometime in March 2020, and then re-enter Thailand on a 30 Day Tourist Visa. After being back a week, I will then apply for a Non-Imm Type O Visa (not a extension of my O-A), which when the Type O is a...

OK, I've read through it several times, still aren't sure what it says. But it appears to say all extensions of stay for Non O-A or rather extension of stay based on retirement. The wording is that extensions of stay (for retirement) where the original visa entry was a Non-OA need insurance issued ...

Does it indicate anywhere what level of Insurance one must have if re-entering on an NON IMM O A Visa - Opps read it and found it \:D/ Has anyone over 60 on a Non Imm O-A Visa, obtained their quotation yet? I ent into the long stay Link and many of the participation Insurance Companies are in Thai. ...

Tales of doom and gloom for the Thai economy have been around for as long as Marc Faber has been predicting doom and gloom during much of the longest stock market rally in history. All that debt, yet I continue to see a good many red plates plying the streets of Udon. My poor neighbors who bought s...

Cambodia now has a straight forward retirement visa, up to a year. No reporting or income requirements. From my reading it is easy to get if 55+.

That's what I was told (no reporting or income requirements) when I was there
