yeah, we both have plenty of passport stamps, this woman wouldn't even look. We are the same, been questioned on other airlines everytime for not having a onward ticket, visa produced,,, ok no problem.

@Todd ********

lol,, i agree

@Keef *******

nope, no legal requirement for onward travel with a visa.

@Brandon ***********

yes, had a visa printed, the check in woman refused us to speak to anyone else. My wife had to book a cheap flight to siam reap in the end. The check in woman originally wanted her to book a return flight back to UK! In the end, they just about, begrudgingly accepted the short flight out. I don't think they would have accepted a bus ticket. The check in woman was threatening to call security on me, just for argueing the point. We both travel regular, have another home in phuket. Although unlikely with Qatar again. It's not so much the money, it's just wrong.😡

@Mark ********

charges,, its all bank charges through overseas banks, usually with lower exchanges rates aswell. A Thai bank is very convenient if you spend a fair bit of time there.

My wife and I both hold dtv, I travel back to London to work, so i have a 90 day travel insurance. I do my wife's health insurance through AXA, its about £100 per month.

No, they only came out last summer.

@Harry *******

just out of interest, why do you think the dtv visa will stop? What's the problem with it?

@Alessandro **********

no, i use and agent.

Anonymous participant 128. I would undoubtedly get more back than i paid, that's knowing when, where and what to buy firstly though. However, I don't need or want to sell, it makes me 400k plus pa. After 9 years, it would have paid for itself and can be lived in for the rest of mine or anyone's days for nothing. In that same first decade, your rent will double at least and then double again over the next decade or two. I'm not saying there is massive money in it, but it makes sense if you want to live there, depending on your age as well. As I said, it's actually really cheap to buy and live, even in phuket, which is generally expensive for Thailand, in comparison to where i come from. That same condo in my home town on the outskirts of London would range from anywhere between 15m to 50m baht.
