90-Day Reporting Online has not worked for a MONTH according to 1178 by GuestPoster054
Hello Friends, I just called the1178, The Immigration hotline, on Friday and they told me that the ONLINE 90-day reporting for retired ex-pats has not been working for a month and they have no idea when it will start working again. So I will have ...
Please don't forget to put a stamped envelope with at least 10 baht for EMS with your address into the envelope you send to Immigration. In the past, they didn't send you the new slip back if there was no stamped letter, which should be ... Read More

My apologies, but I do not understand how that can be an issue for many people. Your information is not really true. If sending an EMS letter with an envelope is already too much work for some, then I don't know what to say. Most of us ... Read More
Good news regarding the educational system in Thailand!!! by Isaanfarang
There's a new female minister who seems to understand where the problems are. Here's a part from a German magazine translated into English. I truly hope to hear a lot more positive things from the new female Minister. ...
An M 6 student jumped off a tall building at my former school. Instead of talking to him, they pulled out their phones and took videos and photographs. I'll never forget him, he was my student in M. 5. In memory. RIP. Read More

Is farang a racist term? by bkk tea blog
This has been discussed to death in different places; some people think farang is a racist term (has negative connotations), some don't. Since it came up in a Quora question I added my own take, including some more background related to the ...
I'd like to give an example of what racism in this country can look like. It just happened at a good primary school in Isaan, The grade two and three students had a kind of a "seminar" in the meeting hall of our school. ... Read More

Let's ask another question to make it easier to understand that it's ( the word Farang) not intended to hurt anybody of us. Some people in the UK call all Asians "Pakis". Would you like to hear that if you're there on a ... Read More
Cheapest cities in Thailand by Bhavna
Hello everyone, Budget is an important consideration when moving to Thailand. Ideally, expats would settle down in a city in Thailand where the cost of living is low but where they could also enjoy a decent quality of life. Would you be able to ...
Why are you such a racist? THE foreigners consist of many people from a lot of different countries that you can hardly make such a statement that they're all stupid. You should have a long look into a mirror and be ashamed ... Read More

That's not the point. But we all can get sick and accidents happen here so often that it's a must to have insurance that covers all expenses. Read More

The OP's post is irritating asking for the cheapest place to live in Thailand. That's a fact and shows that there's not enough money to live here and perhaps anywhere else in Asia. Now taking COVID 19 into account, I strongly believe ... Read More

Hey you Farang! I'll never forget when your wife and you bet the shi_e out of our Somtham making cultural experience where we've lost face, just because of you. We deserved the first prize, not you guys. To understand Thais ... Read More
Sisaket- It would be a pleasure to ride my bike with some guys by Isaanfarang
Hello and Sawasdee khrap, It's been almost 20 years now that I moved to Thailand, and I've been living in Sisaket for the most time. As a bike lover, I appreciate to ride my Yamaha 1100 Virago, but it's not fun to ...
Hello, Thanks for your answer. Sad that you've sold it. I almost sold mine for 215,000 baht, but then my wife had some good reasons to say that we better keep it. I paid 150,000, I put at least 60,000 and a lot of work in. My wife ... Read More

Locked Out of Thailand by victor peeke
The lockdown, while it should have taken place much earlier, was done without sufficient warning. I relocated to Thailand 10 years ago, am married with sons, and I was caught unawares while out of Thailand. This would never have happened had the ...
Don't worry, it won't take much longer, there are too many people involved. I was wondering if they check each health certificate if it's real? I hope that you'll soon be able to come back. I'm honestly thinking ... Read More

First, I have to let you guys know how sorry I am about your circumstances, being in lockdown away from the loved ones. It seems that most foreigners who are inside Thailand are somehow also experiencing problems. The health ... Read More
