Not if that's what you look like

Biggest problems are quality of build, size of plot, neighbours and noise and security of relationship. There are also sharks out there ready to prey on the unwary some of the worst are fellow expats. Be careful buying anything with police involved it's gets expensive. Rent for short, less than a month or so holidays, it's cheaper in the long run. I would not buy in a touristy area, though I have bought and sold in Hua Him, they overdevelop like crazy, lack of parking and pollution end up ruining places, like Hua Him and Pattaya, Phuket etc

@Mma ******

no never. you obviously know nothing, deposit is not for running off.

TE is at least worry free, and with all the other complications does give peace of mind if you think its worth it.

no

Go somewhere else loser

What about Thai elite?

Yes, it's a points based system and don't forget points mean prizes. And don't forget the cuddly toy

Thai visas are generous compared to many countries. You apply for a visa, you break the rules, what did you expect, congratulations. Talk about a sense of self entitlement.

@Mika *******

Phuket had it, West had it, Kanchanaburi was worse than CM at times. All of Thailand was affected, the winds brought it it from Cambodia. It drifted over from Myanmar and Thailand's own burning in the north east and west blanketed much of Thailand. Between Kanchanaburi and Bangkok we were covered with fine ash every day for 4 months. Even my Thai workers got sick and could not work, and that's highly unusual. Because they don't get paid. 2 million people were hospitalized and the Thai government told its own people to work from home if they could and stay indoors. 14 year old kids are dying of lung cancer. Its great now, but feb to may is poison. Try watching TNT even he was spluttering, broadcasting from Phuket. The only people who are ridiculous are those with a vested interest telling everyone, 'Nothing to see'
