Thanks but did you read my post? I said I don’t want to do it online anymore. Thanks.

Thanks but I’ve been nowhere near a hotel since my last face-to-face 90 day report.

I don’t know what the problem is here. I don’t know what contract you signed, but a standard rental contract in Thailand as in other places says that, if you break the contract, you forfeit two months rent kept as a deposit. Unless you owe more than that 40,000 THB, for example, a huge electricity bill or something else, there’s actually nothing for the landlord to complain about. I own and rent out several properties in Bangkok so I know what I’m talking about. Good luck.

thanks. I found two by that name and neither are suitable for me. One is for pilots, and the other is only travel insurance. Thanks anyway.

I’m the same age and looking for something similar. Do you happen to have any info on the silver wings insurance cover by any chance? TIA.

We were able to ship stuff back to Thailand from Bahrain where we were both working, and without having to pay Thai import duty/taxes. My wife is Thai so I’m guessing you’d probably need to prove that in advance (ID card, Thai passport et al). Good luck!

no I can’t because only one or two countries have installed CBDCs at this point so this is an entirely new asset class. However, more than 100 countries are currently developing their own CBDCs. What I’m doing is warning folks that this is coming down the pipe in my view and to prepare in case it happens e.g. that their savings could be converted into digital money if there’s a bank run and/or major financial collapse on a par with 2008 or worse. I believe what happened in Cyprus was a test run for the globalist bankers.

Also, as I said above, you might be ok and the gov was able to cover all its financial obligations but, personally, I won’t risk it and I’m not ok with receiving programmable money (CBDCs) that come with restrictions and time limits for spending in return for my existing bank deposits.

I’m sure that’s what the people in Cyprus thought in 2013, right before the bank bail-outs and they had to take a haircut on their savings as well as accept reduced euro withdrawals. In fact, its bond and shareholders faced huge losses of €4.2bn (£3.6bn).
