I regularly follow the articles that appear on Thailandblog. I have noticed that now and then there are also reactions from people who, at least I think, live or work in Laos. I would very much like to get in touch with some of these people, so that I can form an idea of how they experience a long stay or a few months in Laos
First of all I would like to thank you all for your contribution. I recently became a member (8 months) and I owe you a lot. I am 62 years old and I now have questions of my own that are of great importance to me. I will receive my pension as of 01-01-2020 and my AOW as of 02-12-2021. I want to stay in Thailand with my girlfriend in her house during the 2-year bridge.
Last week, on June 13, was the festive opening of a new factory in Samut Prakarn, which is part of the Apollo Group from Coevorden. This company produces transport installations for all kinds of products, either in bulk or already packaged. The opening was performed in unison by the Dutch ambassador to Thailand, HE Karel Hartogh and the General Manager of the Apollo Group, Claudia van den Pol.
The Dutch Johan van Laarhoven, convicted of money laundering from the cannabis trade, has not received a reduced sentence on appeal. His sentence was reduced on paper from 103 to 75 years, but he must serve 11 years. Just like the previous conviction. Only his wife's sentence was reduced from 7 years to 4 years and XNUMX months.
Although the attention of the media is no longer focused on flooding, this does not mean that this nuisance has been resolved. The flooding has been reduced for a week, but a prolonged rain shower can again cause a lot of misery due to the amount of water still present.
With the images of the fire at Grenfell Tower in London, where 79 people are believed to have died, still fresh in the memory, it appears that the situation in Bangkok is just as shocking. The Thai capital has more than five thousand high-rise buildings that do not have a fire safety certificate and are therefore potentially life-threatening in the event of a fire.
If you transfer money to Thailand via TransferWise, you must now indicate the reason for the transfer. Because I didn't know what happens to that data, I checked with TransferWise. I received a reply from TransferWise: “For TransferWise to be able to carry out payments to Thailand, then we would indeed need to request a payment reason from our customers. These are shared confidentially with Thai central bank, no other third parties.”
Qatar Airways has been named the world's best airline in 2017 at SkyTrax's World Airline Awards. Singapore Airlines is number two, followed by All Nippon Airways.
One of the reasons that I will soon be living in Thailand is because I absolutely love touring there on a Honda PCX and discovering all corners of the country. Last winter (summer in Thailand) I spent 4 months drove through the south, from Hua Hin to Surat Thani, Phattalung and back via Krabi, 4000 KM and many photos, videos, stories and adventures further.
We want to spend the winter in Thailand for two months and arrange that ourselves. Now I see the website hibernating-in-thailand with some regularity. You can book there and pay in advance. Does anyone have experience with this club? I am not in favor of transferring money without actually knowing whether it is good?
Wan is marked by the harsh and poverty-stricken Isan outdoor life. Hard head, coarse long hair, dark brown skin. She often drives around on a rickety and banging moped, looking for free. Her everyday clothes are worn and discolored. You can hardly put age on it, she might as well be sixty-five as forty-five.
Yesterday, a pregnant woman fell onto the rails at Ban Thap Chang station and was run over by an Airport Rail Link (ARL) train. The question now arises whether the ARL stations in Bangkok are safe?
Since the Thai Consulate in Amsterdam no longer issues 'multiple entries' visas since August 15, 2016, I traveled to the Thai Embassy in The Hague to apply for a 'Non-Immigrant O multiple entries' visa. I am over 50 and self-employed and in Amsterdam I always got such a visa without any problems. All I had to do was prove that I had sufficient financial resources.
