After the story on this blog about the counterfeit boeroboedoer I became completely curious about the "Chedi Hin Sai".
I have already visited the Boerobudo twice. I currently reside about 120km from Roi Et.
My Thai wife's father is almost 97 and is asking for more and more care. Are there good shelters in Bangkok? Or is there such a thing as home nursing? I hear possibilities both left and right, but as a falang you never know exactly how the fork is in the stem.
In Phuket, quite a heated discussion has arisen about the closing times of bars, clubs and discos in the Patong entertainment center. About 14 days ago, a major action was launched by the police, whereby all entertainment venues had to close strictly at 1 am. Suddenly hundreds of people were lost on the street instead of enjoying themselves somewhere with "fat" music or otherwise.
The years fly by, it goes way too fast. Came here at the age of 45 and am now 58. My circle of acquaintances has continued to grow, of course people sometimes drop out and those are always difficult days.
Tomorrow the journey continues to the old royal city of Luang Prabang and that is only possible by bus. You can choose from the so-called VIP bus or minibus.
Thai authorities have seized 68 million baht worth of valuables and property belonging to southern drug lord Uzman Salamang. He was associated with Laos drug lord Xaysana Keawpimpa.
After being a member of a renowned cooking guild for several years, I dare to say that I can hold my own in the kitchen. But Joseph cooks well but does not think about his health. He should look more at the vitamins according to my girlfriend. Who then adds: “You should really read Thailandblog better”.
I have a hearing aid but actually wear it too little, because I always get so much itching in my ear from this device. What can I do about this so that I can still use this rather expensive tool?
What steps should I take to register my Dutch marriage with my Thai wife in Thailand?
In 2015, the SVB applied a payroll tax credit to the AOW pension of both my wife and me. To be sure whether or not this is justified, we both filed an income tax return for 2016 (early 2015). And yes, Erik Kuijpers was right. Since 1 January 2015, as a non-resident taxpayer in Thailand, you are no longer entitled to the payroll tax credit.
It is now the year 2009 and we are going to the Netherlands together, with her daughter. Quite an experience for Rash and her daughter. The first thing her daughter said (she already spoke some English) when she was on the train to the north of the Netherlands, it was the end of April, oh how beautiful it is here (will never forget it).
The editors received an emotional e-mail from Dirk Stolk's daughter and son. They would like more information about the fatal accident of their beloved father that took place on February 6 in Pattaya. Dirk was riding his bicycle on the day in question and he was hit by a Thai woman in a car.
Many visitors to Bangkok will know Soi 7 from the past because of the many restaurants or a more than well-known bar: the Beergarden.
In Thailand I am often amazed at the speed with which construction is done. Yet we Dutch people can also do something about it, as this timelapse video shows.
After a month delay due to bad weather and high waves, the ferry service between Pattaya and Hua Hin has officially started. Two hundred guests, including transport minister Arkhom, made the 113-kilometer journey from Bali Hai pier in Pattaya to Khao Takiab pier in Hua Hin and back on Sunday.
It was mid-December that I showed you a list of medicines I was saddled with in the Netherlands that would keep me alive.
I then asked you if there were good alternatives available in Thailand and you advised me. I actually changed everything.
I edited a GoPro movie together. The advantage: one can create a good picture of the activities in Chiang Mai, including ziplining and elephant sanctuary, Koh Chang, Bangkok and Hua Hin.
