Electricity appear set to remain stable for residential and business, a new light rail system in Khon Kaen? Who’s paying for it? An article to help us understand paying tax in Thailand as an expat (link below).

Like we can believe anything coming out of that walking fece Prayuth. I'll be voting Gao Glai. I want the people involved in that coup to be on trial and if possible capital punishment. Gao Glai also pushing the policy to reform the police, something which Prayuth also championed, but failed to do. They're too corrupted. In a perfect world the entire Bureau Civil Servants would be reformed, but i'll take what i can get.
Exactly the reason I am moving to issan. Never met such an arrogant ignorant race
Conscript dodgers
It's mixed in Pattaya as has always been
Europe's loss is Thailands gain.. wonderful…most bar fights in Kathu are due to the Anglo saxons… let's talk about this rather than Russians
Suvanabumi immigration 7.30pm. I'm living here 14y. Green lights on meaning 10 min waiting. But the longest queu ever had in 23y. Walked to all exist. All extreme long long queu. Many boots even not open. "Welcome" to LOS
REAL SCANDAL
Tim. Been watching flight prices from Usa to Bkk for months now!! RT is 2200$!!! Way above this time last year!! And no relief in sight?? August prices are the same!! Trying to figure this out. Thanks Donnie in Arizona
I am currently in Naiyang Phuket and it is full of young Russian families and long stay.??? I have known the same families for over 6 months. Just thinking some may have left when mobilization was called in Russia.
I'm in Pattaya. Can't see any Russian tourists (or any other tourists) through the smog 🙁
i left Pattaya, moved away, sick to death of the ignorant barstewards
Hi Tim!
Good job mate.
Great job Tim 👍🏻 always watch your program.
No coup but there might be a special military operation the new buzz word by Putin.
It would be nice if the army did not murder its own citizens.
you are just like one of those guys who goes around trying to get people into religion, with the bike and pocket protector. thailand is the way it is and is different from where you are from. appreciate it
All they had to do was send people the other way around the building and it would of been on the right. How do these people get dressed in the morning ????
Remember the 2 Russian girls shot in the head whilst sunbathing on the beach 2010 mafia?
I pay about 35 baht p kw. So its cheap in Thailand
Tim, the Russians are not going home, more than 40% of the Condos and Pool Villas are now owned by these guys and they ain’t going 15:23 anywhere!
Tim, respectfully, you have interviewed on your live programs people including a property agent & related property material and snake related material/person.
But you have also in your news programs often talked about the cannabis issues, cannabis bill etc.
With all the people here that have cannabis related businesses that are operating legally in terms of having permits to do just that, why have you not addressed this by interviewing/having a conversation with someone in this business. The ‘elephant’ in the room might appear that you are too worried/concerned to do just that.
It’s a huge thing – the decriminalisation of cannabis here on this island and In Thailand.
So why not address it ‘properly?’ – I sincerely ask with all due respect.
I wonder how long these "tourists" are overstaying, or when their money runs out and what do they do then? They will do anything to not return home I would guess.
Thank you Tim
Terrible RuZZianZ….☠️💀🤮
I'll be wearing an N95 face mask while I'm in BKK. The irony is that it won't be for cv-19, but rather for PM2.5 pollution prevention. 🙄
Enjoy your videos, especially the grumpy ones! Regarding age, are there many expats inThailand in there seventies or older?
When we were in Jomtien in January one of the mobile vendors with the recording on a loudspeaker system was broadcasting in Russian.
The drive through is designed for Covid distancing…
When there were no tourists, he wanted more earnings for tourists. When there are more tourists, he was grumble. Wish my president! give kindness, useful words, and no selfishness. They couldn’t choose where they could be born. There are no choices for them today. Also, Russian foreigners who live in Thailand before starting of the war in Ukianian with their family have a lot that doesn’t want to get a more disgusting social in this world. Russian people who are good minds and very polite have a lot. Please don’t do justice to them by the situation and their country. How to pay taxes? We were lose work by the company closed by Covid19 ! We always paid taxes in the right ways and for the visa taxes both. Everything in Thailand is expensive and how to survive ? even for Thai people still suffer . But at less we still don’t fight for food only. Not yet!
Thumbs up 👍 Khun Tim………
Problem solved at the Phuket Immigration just drive in reverse through the line 555
I’ve been here for 6 weeks it’s our annual Thai holiday.we love this country and have been visiting for 26 years.I’m sorry to say the Russians are the least polite people I have ever known I find there rudeness awful.it’s not all but most.they seem to have an attitude towards the local people.I’m half Thai and it’s greatly saddening to see and hear.I don’t think we will come back for a few years until this war issue is over.I find the beaches are like little Moscow..I know many Russians please don’t think I’m against them but manners are extremely important to us.they never seem too smile at anyone maybe it’s the war.
I live in London and thailand to visit family.
Great info and I always watch your channel
Good I found this channel.Watching this smerky new guy in Thaiger is not an option.Keep it up!
About the drive trough:
I'm not a peasant who drives his vehicle by him self.
He also said no electricity increase between may to August……didnt say there wont be after August did he ..let's wait and see shal we 🤔🤔
We don't like Russia maffia people in Phuket in Thailand we hate that people
A large influx of Russians to any area equates to destruction and a marked decrease in livability in those areas. Greed wins again.
