Foreign ownership of land in Thailand approved by cabinet, with conditions. Big earthquake in Philippines, digital nomad survey, rogue cop on loose in Trang, airstrike on Burmese concert in northern Myanmar, Ebola alert for Thailand. Tim Newton Today is a daily, independent look at Thai and south East Asian regional news and issues.
Big thanks to our sponsors, 5 Star Marine in Phuket…
Wow that would be one expensive piece of land
Well done Thai govt, you have successfully given away your country to China, who will swoop en masse to buy everything and will drive up prices and force out Thais, just like they are doing in parts of Cambodia, goodbye Thailand, hello Chiland.
As usual the Thai rules were made on the back of racism and greed.
I need a good property for purchase in Asia, especially in Thailand. It could be a hotel building or a business complex, something that can be bought and put back into the market, if you are a reliable property broker or property owner, please send me a message so we can discuss further.
Unfortunately the Thai Government will make any DN visa out of reach for those not earning six figures, or come up with ridiculous education or formal business credentials. They have proved themselves to be completely out of touch in terms of luring long term visitors. There's no point paying a small fortune if the main reason to live here in the first place is that it's inexpensive to do so!
They do skin cancer removal free in Oz -if you still have Medicare. I think those who've paid taxes for over 30 years in Australia should get Medicare for life, no matter where they move to retire. We Aussies abroad should collectively campaign for better treatment by our Government! Anyhoo, get well soon mate!
“Patchwork quilt” I ended up spitting out my tea when I heard this😂
Thanks Tim. Good seeing you. I trust you had a pleasant time in Australia, but nonetheless, happy to be back home in Thailand. The most comfortable bed in the world will always be your own bed. I hope your procedure will be successful. All the best.
DONT SELL YOUR COUNTRY ..
Thailand is letting all the wrong kinda people buy up property
= .4 acres
The financial vampires looking to extract more money from foreigners with many limitations attached love you Thailand long time!
Thumbs Up 👍
Tim, great job on all the informative news coverage🎉
Wow invest 1.7millon $aus and you can buy just under 1/2 acre.
That’s a good buy… A goodbye to your money that is!
do you have a contact email as I have a story about expat health insurance I wish to share and would be happy to provide all the information and details
40 million baht , the Chinese are coming
Pass
You've scared the thaiger out of my suggestions Tim! Haven't seen one since I subed to your channel! Thanks for all you do!
Thank you for sharing news out of Myanmar
I think it’s big mistake selling land to wealthy foreigners, look at what it has done to land and house prices in Australia, we have sold our country off to wealthy Chinese people. Now we have a housing crisis along with high house prices
Tim I am not going to tell you how to treat your health. I have had very good success at removing basic skin cancer ( basal cell carcinoma) with cannabis oil. Put it on daily and it was gone after a few weeks.
I am not saying to go on a fast for 3 weeks and I am not saying it will cure you. Drink only water and take a 1/4 teaspoon of salt every day. It will reset your body.
Is there a Thai word for gentrification? If not, someone should invent one 😀
One Rai is equal to .395 acres. So, not very much land.
Good luck with your treatment Tim
1 rai = 1600sqft
What can you build on that? Need at least 5 rai's for a decent size house with some yard space. Size: 1 rai = 1 slice of rye bread. Not even enough to make a sandwich.
Great onsite reporting Tim!
Like 45 days visa excemption couod be extended before October the first did my 30 days then went to vietnam so really cause I had to leave the kingdom so ineffect thailamd lost alot of money
Thailand reminds me of a dentist trying to extract a difficult tooth .
Tim, this will be a disaster for Thailand. China will buy every rai they can. This will inflate land values and cause hardship for all Thais.
Feck Me ebola now
Wouldn't buy nothing in bkk its sinking
Rai to acre 0.000000001 of n acre lol
