letter of Ronald from Rayong : panic in LOS
It's actually panic spread among the foreigners living here. Also with me on the curve now so you can hear this and that the matter but has to do with respect to the foreigners living here, much of the unrest in Bangkok, but is probably a purely financial Matter. It is narrow, and for people where it was already tight before, it is now too narrow.
is why you hear now is that people do think about Cambodia überzusiedeln. There are significantly shifted to more favorable provisions in relation to the residence / work permit, and tourism is likely in the direction of Cambodia and Vietnam.
On the side of the Thai binge-tourism, so Phuket & Co,'re surely many farangs who are under 50 years old and engaged in diving schools, bungalows and restaurants, etc.. In the absence of tourists, the bill is no longer lean on, because I think most of these people have no Cash reserves to survive a few lean years financially. The popular number, falling prices by increasing the numbers back in balance, and rip-off to hold in any form, is a boomerang. This is perhaps the short term, but then closes with funny. If Thailand is now also the inevitable hordes of big-spending Russian tourists, then real loss is announced. Their number was very high, as was also observed at the airport.
The long before the riots started migration from the garbage heap called Pattaya continues. You have to draw further south along the coast to Sri Racha, where it can be financially possible. In there are wonderful new developments developed and it is quiet and peace. The construction of new residential quarters for the quasi Sweden continues unabated. The objects are sold out immediately and there is necessarily little-around Stockholm in relation to food and restaurants. It has been like at home and is happy only among themselves, including Christmas in the traditional Swedish style. The inedible standard red and white wine here, a high price for Thai people, is in the 6-pack, compared to Swedish prices cheap and abundantly consumed.
Very worried are the English, as you can see from letters to the editor. The wonder now that is getting stronger despite all the crises, the Thai currency, foreign Investors such as pumps pure stupid in Thailand and the stock index has records. At home in the UK, the opposite is the case, and now you wait after the election up there, what is happening. UK pensioners are also loaded so technically such a pension, so that is already criminal what's going on.
is financially difficult for many here it is now living German pensioner, including myself, too. The monthly losses in the previous year but are now bitter, if the local purchasing power are considered. Therefore, one must restrict and rethinking, which for the normal Pattaya-it man, that he sits in his condo in front of the telly with cans of beer and not down at the bar with the girls.
The poor now Exchange rate against the euro, which will not recover a positive long term holds for most retirees here a critical point. For the annual renewal of residence permit it is necessary to provide the pension certificate in Germany Consulate.
Well, since then the following happens: The embassy employee of the pension amount, and converts them into Thai Baht on the day after the presentation of the current exchange rate. And, oh wonder of mathematics, it says on the certificate for immigration then a sum that is below the amount required by the Immi. Most of the surviving German pensioners are financially exhausted such that they have no reserves (as already provides the Thai-mouse) and since you can mentally ever pack your bags, as following the introduction of the euro, big return wave of German pensioners from Spain began what I have already predicted long before. If in Malle does a cappuccino € 2.80, exactly as much as back home in Wanne-Eickel, but quickly love Else.
Well, here it is possible (a "Can-determination"), that summarizes the certified income from pension and an identifiable bank accounts as a total sum. This is generally handled by the Immi so unless you making itself unpopular. Most foam bats here but as a cash reserve and not the least give it. In my circle I have some here in my area resident farangs Police, told the annual winter here, even honorable, that they caused in the future by the exchange rate only max. 3 month come from. Also on my curve now here properties for sale, due to emigration. In the view of relevant magazines in the entire household goods will be sold off, no matter at what price. Also, of course, advertise the great lad who desperately need some 200,000 Thai baht as specify any security bank security, so somewhere a contradiction in itself. Here in TH rats leave the sinking ship and most of them nachzuweinen need no tear. In D, however, is the desire of the emigration of an important topic in the blog, in which it comes to the topic of women and Merkel to the euro. This can happen not in Germany, even in extreme cases as much. The FRG, still illegally peace treaty was established as a limited company and therefore liable under the Act only € 25,500. All other amounts are only notional but eh numbers in computers. So stay cool people!
