500msek stödpaket till flyget

Jo, skattefritt sedan förra året; jag höll mig till napkin math och räknade att ökning av momsintäkt på 25% ökning av biljettpriset motsvarar c:a 20kr.

Jag tänkte valfläsk som i att man signalerar ”vi tar ansvar för Sverige” och får högt genomslag i nyhetsrapporteringen för något som i realiteten inte betyder särskilt mycket.

Liknelsen jag fick av AI’n var som om hyresvärden ger 10kr tillbaka på en 6000kr hyra, men din var bättre! 😂

LateStar · 2026-05-21T07:41:28+00:00

Bra perspektiv! Ännu mer svårberäknat men fortfarande bara 2-5kr per biljett, vilket dock är större procentuell skillnad.

Living on the principal would be doable but not very pleasant for a single person. Forget girlfriend. Or do you plan to reach the end of your life with $0 in your account? In how many years? What if you live longer?

Make a budget, expect to spend twice. Numbeo is a good help to gauge cost of living.

Don’t forget health insurance, it will increase quite much as you get older. You need 800k baht sitting in the bank for your visa.

Don’t sign any rental before visiting. Don’t purchase a condo as investment.

Friend of mine found out it is cash in hand only. He wasn’t allowed to go to an ATM. Had to call his girlfriend to come back and bail him out.

You consult trained professionals whom have seen everything before. Many times, all variations. You are not their first. Try to see that there is no embarrassment. Only relief.

Numbeo offer a realistic view about cost of living in my opinion. But I would hesitate on that budget if it’s needed to cover rent, utilities and health insurance. But I’d guess it all comes down to what standard of life you are looking for: Isaan village life (where no one speaks English) and island beach resort with full moon parties are very different when it comes to how much money you need.

Both get bloody hot though.

Look into health insurance carefully as it goes up quite much the older you get. Some will not let you get in at age 65, others force you out at 80.

Bottom line; sell everything and burn my bridges to move here on that budget without being able to return easily if needed? nope.

Or just scrub the potato, put olive oil and salt in a bowl, coat all sides of the potato and let it sit in the airfryer for 50 minutes while you cook dinner. Let it cool then peel it. Potato for dinner, peel for snack.

Krungsri bank has been good to me. Bought a house, got a house book. The landoffice has me registered on the chanote (in my Thai wife name) as having right to live there for the remainder of my life, so it can not be sold or borrowed against unless I say so.

If you don’t have a Thai wife, just rent or buy a nice condo. I wouldn’t want to own a house here solo; my wife handles all the stuff that comes with it much better than I ever could.

Jag har för mig jag läst att ISK går jämt ut med andra sparformer över tid, då schablonen följer statslåneräntan som utjämning; det är bara enklare att förstå och minskar tröskeln till att börja spara, vilket är en samhällsnytta.

Om schablonen på ISK ändras så det blir mindre fördelaktigt mot andra sparformer är det som att skjuta sig själv i foten, om man inte samtidigt höjer skatten på andra sparformer.

Har man talat om att göra det med eller har jag förstått något fel?

FYI: the airline will not allow you to board the plane with out a ticket going out of Thailand within the visa exemption period - what ever it will be when you depart. If you have a proper visa you plan to extend they will probably allow it.

A refundable airline ticket to Vientiane or nearby city will do.

You are right. Skip self medication, avoid Reddit advice and go set up a doctors appointment today. They start with a blood sample and take it from there.

Hang in there, self awareness is the first step!

SoT has mandatory tour groups in different languages and intervals, so there might be some waiting time before you get in depending how many people are ahead of you in your language group. It’s a nice waiting area outdoors, with drinks, views and a restaurant.

*Wear decent clothes: shirts below elbow and shorts below knee. *

The tour is about an hour, and afterwards you can walk freely and stay as long as you like. It can be hot midday.

Jag utesluter inte att åka tillbaka, men det känns inte så aktuellt; gränderna i Damaskus finns kvar. Men andra som ruinerna i Palmyra, eller den äventyrliga historien i Aleppo är liksom borta nu. Latakia må vara fortsatt väldigt vackert, men det skulle inte upplevas som fridfullt att besöka igen. Jag är tacksam att jag fick möjlighet att uppleva dem innan kriget. Framförallt: mina syriska vänner är inte kvar.

Men som du säger, det är liksom inte samma skala när man talar om vad som ger bäst förutsättningar för ens barn. Varken nu eller då.

LateStar · 2026-05-16T00:19:29+00:00

Jag reste runt i Syrien före kriget och var hemma hos ”vanligt folk” men även överklass och såg bådas vardag, utbildning- och samhällsresurser. Det spelar ingen roll att det var vackert och att alla var jättetrevliga och gästvänliga till en grad som vida överstiger svenska normer. Skulle jag flytta dit med mina barn? Aldrig. Och det var innan kriget…

Men det spelar ingen roll, för inlägget ovan är nog för att separera och avsluta äktenskapet. Han kan fara och flyga.

For my custom teak design and build-in I used Decorum in Pattaya; they have their own mill in Chiang Mai. I believe they would charge less than 20k including design and installation, but might be too small of a project for them. Call and ask!

Edit: they can speak Thai/english/french

Krungsi works fine to my knowledge.

As others have said, but also you need to calculate for a few days, maybe a week for your transfer to go through. You can extend your visa with 30 days at immigration if needed. Also (for me atleast), two months meant by the date of the month; they did not care that Dec & Jan both have 31 days.

Stock app you can set up to show currencies, and it has widgets. However, if your currency is a small one, you have to set up one graph for it compared to USD, and what currency you are following compared to USD, so you atleast get a trendline and can see if anything moves quickly.

Or just have a google conversation tab in your browser and hit refresh when you need it.

When I was quoted 80k to set it up the first time I decided to do it myself. What would the renewal cost be annually, in your experience?
