Re: Chiang Mai Listed Where Couple Can Retire for US$1,500/month
Thanks for your input, BB. I mentioned the non-visible BIB, not because I'm doing anything wrong but just to show there's no 'shake-downs' which you sometimes get here. The friend I have in Nong Khai who has lived in Thailand for almost 30 years, made the move, literally on a whim. 15 years ago, he ...

Re: Chiang Mai Listed Where Couple Can Retire for US$1,500/month
I see and hear what you say, but I've always said it takes a very special type of person to live that way. Nongkhai isn't a village.

Re: Electricity and Water Charges
Not sure if this helps: A year ago a new law came into place that applies to rent properties in Thailand. Named the Thai Rental Law, it affects rental properties that form part of a business. Any person who owns in excess of five rental properties is now classed as a business operator who has a cont...

Re: Chiang Mai Listed Where Couple Can Retire for US$1,500/month
I guess it also depends on where you live. I visited a friend in NongKhai before Christmas. Planned for 3 days, stayed for 3 weeks. He rents a 2 bedroom house with Utility Room, Huge Kitchen/Diner, Large living room, Shower room, 2 toilets, garden, car port. He pays 2,500 baht p.m. It was pretty muc...

Re: Dates when no alcohol sold in Hua Hin
And also in The Thaiger:
April 6 is Chakri Day, celebrating the inception of the Chakri Dynasty, a significant milestone in Thai history. Alcohol sales continue unhindered on this day and its substitution day on April 8.

Re: Has Your Food Shopping Increased?
In general the 'cost of living' is much cheaper in Thailand even for 'farang' food. Tell me anywhere in the UK where you can get a full English for the same price as here.

Re: The Recommended Movies Thread
Yes. Surprised at YTS who have a reputation of providing good downloads.
This was obviously a 'camera copy' which I've deleted and will wait for a good copy.

Re: Dried Peas
Thanks for that, BB. Never thought of looking on Lazada and sure enough there are a few sellers of dried marrowfat peas. I'm just about to order some.
