Re: Having a Plan B - what's yours?

I should add that my Australian contacts I have in Bkk all tell me that Melbourne would have been a more worthwhile place for us. They feel QLD is decades behind time. Whatever, we missed the...

Re: Having a Plan B - what's yours?

Can't comment on that as 10 years ago we had no need for WiFi. As you mention Europe and WiFi. We recently visited Germany. Not much WiFi there either, and if there is connection is so-so.

Re: Having a Plan B - what's yours?

Hotels were a big disappointment, cleanliness, service, food quality. We used 4*. Twice I got sick from buffet meals. In general, we found clothing expensive and of low quality, cheap Chinese...

Re: Having a Plan B - what's yours?

We investigated Australia (Queensland) 6 years ago. We found everything expensive and of poor quality. We cut our trip short by 2 weeks. Couldn't wait to get home to Cambodia.

Re: UK Referendum: It's Leave.

I saw and interesting talkshow on DW TV last night. There are German opinions which would not agree with 'wolfi'. The EU has brought us more disadvantages than advantages. One of those is that it...

Re: UK Referendum: It's Leave.

I'm just an observer, I'm not a Brit. I guess we vote for what we consider is best for us. Why are Brits living in EU countries so worried about getting kicked out?

Re: UK Referendum: It's Leave.

The Brussels caused the Brexit. Now that UK exited this crooked club they are surprised and upset. Suddenly, they consider overhauling immigration policies. Nobody wanted to do it before the Brexit....

Re: Having a Plan B - what's yours?

Hi, I gave 4* hotel as an indicator of hotel standard for recommendation. 5* will also be fine. I'm not a great fan of Shangri La unless Penang ones are better than the Singapore one. We are keen to...

Re: Having a Plan B - what's yours?

We are still looking for (for us) best Plan B as Thailand, our present home, is getting more bureaucratic when it comes to getting a new visa. We are not prepared to jump through hoops for them next...

Re: Having a Plan B - what's yours?

Even now there is no free reciprocal healthcare when you live in Germany. You have to pay a monthly contribution of 8 % of your income just like German pensioners, we were told. If you can get a...

Re: The Brexit; Are you in or out?

Thailand has a retirement visa but not a real program.
Thais don't worry about tax, you pay where your money is.

Re: Having a Plan B - what's yours?

At present you need to have either 800.000 THB per person in a Thai account, or you can show a monthly income of 1500 $US. Agreed, the 90 day report is a bit of a nuisance. You could do it online if...
