Be very careful about investing offshore UK, it is not the banks I am warning about but the UK Tax office. As we all know the UK is in serious financial trouble, the IMF puts the UK economy as the 1oth most at risk economy in the world. The UK tax department has no authority to access accounts howev...

Looking to get some bike parts rechromed, anyone know of a good chrome plating place near Hua Hin or even in BKK

Thanks in advance

My wife was very keen to go to Sirirat as that is where the King stays however after her visit there she has vowed never to go there again. The general admissions section is totally over run with patients and doctors cannot allocate sufficient time to individual patients. I guess the hosptiall is ov...

Damn I forgot all about the 90 day visit to Immigration, anyone know if they will relax that?

I hope someone can help with this query. I am on a retirement visa which expires early September however I will be taking a job overseas and start before September. Questions 1. Can I renew my retirement visa before it expires and just tell immigration I am going on vacation. 2. If they renew and I ...

My wife just had a Femoral Hernia op at bangkok Hua Hin Hospital, expect to pay around 75k with one night stay, all tests, MRI, X-Ray, blood tests etc. Excellent service.
like all things you get what you pay for.

AlleyKat, have you been to Hua Hin hospital? go and have a look and make your own mind up. After waiting for hours to see anyone they gave a five minute internal examination, said my wife had nothing wrong, told her to go home and not worry about it. She told the doctors she was in continual pain, h...

Having recently attended Bangkok Hospital Hua Hin I can highly recomend this facility. After having visited numerous doctors (read qwacks), hopitals and clinics with the same problem for over two years and most times being told nothing was wrong, other times being given medication and told to come b...

Thanks to everyone so far, some good points to consider and contacts to follow up with for a chat. My intent at this time is to keep my Thai and overseas assets totally seperate with all of my overseas assets administered from Australia. Hopefuily this will all be irrelevant for many years to come. ...

I am retired in Hua Hin, lived all over the place so I have assets in numerous countries and I wish to update my Will. On talking with a HH lawyer he told me he can establish a will in Thailand to cover my assets here but I will need to do separate ones for other countries with legal representatives...

On a Trans-Atlantic flight, a plane passes through a severe storm. The turbulence is awful, and things go from bad to worse when one wing is struck by lightning. One woman in particular loses it. Screaming, she stands up in the front of the plane. "I'm too young to die!" she wails. Then sh...

Talking about Wills. If you have assets in Thailand and outside, say in the UK, you need two (2) Wills one for each location. Estates in UK are subject to probate which might be difficult for a Thai partner to manage. In these cases an independent, professional executor such as the lawyer who wrote...

Gee, StevePIraq I have a feeling that this type of will could could end up causing some heavy scenes between some couples and that in it self could end up with another unfortunate statistic in the news. If you were to feel there was this possibility couldn't a will be drawn up where the longer you ...

With the recent murders in Hua Hin and around the country some guys may have a few concerns about their loved one, wife, girl friend, boy friend what have you plotting their demise and cashing in the insurance and scooping the bank account. If so you may wish to consider a change I have just done to...

World Nomads does not cover for Thailand if on a government warning, see extract from policy below, every policy I have looked up on the net has this. "General Exclusions Applicable to all Sections We will not pay for any of the following claims or losses: Your claim arises because you did not ...
