I sympathize. Good luck in Spain I think property is similar to here in the fact that new builds are expensive and property through agents too. Property you find on your own or through the grapevine...

I am due to renew my extension early July but will attempt to do it early June to give myself more time for any problems. From past experience there are no fast and set rules apart from 800,000bht...

A lot of foreigners staying in Thailand do not have 800,000bht in an account or proof of income they just buy their visa from an agent every year. This will just encourage more and more to do so and...

Paddy Ashdown deserves a mention. Perhaps the only politician I actually liked and trusted.

Lucky it didn't melt the sunglasses.

Totally agree Flip, taxation is very one sided and a level playing field is needed, Chang beer is not taxed out of the market in the UK. If it was down to do gooders trying to reduce alcohol surely...
