What are a vast majority of older western men in SE for? A better life!

I invest in (unsecured) debentures or bonds. Period is generally 2 to 4 years. Depending on the risk rating of the issuing company, the interest rates are 3% to 7.5%. New issues are published daily on www.thaibma.or.th if you are able to read thai script.

Thank you @Dr. Joy, this is really comforting!

I took a walk on a few roads during the last 4 days (Thonglor, Ekamai, Onnut, around Phra Khanong). There were some groups on open pickup trucks and outside shophouses with water hoses and guns, but no one bothered me when they saw me dressed in smart casual clothes with leather shoes.

I assume that the 'Thai Nationality interview' you have referred to is the MOI big committee interview. Any idea when this batch would have completed the NIA interview and had their documents submitted by the SB to MOI? I had my NIA interview in September 2020 and got a confirmation from my SB case handler that all documents were sent to MOI in October 2020. I am still waiting for the MOI interview call. The SB case handler told me to expect it by end of 2023 or early 2024. Seems abnormally long to me. Although I am in a stable job with a PR and not in a hurry, getting worried in case the documents go missing somewhere. It will be too much of a pain to start all over again.

In my opinion, you should stay clear of illegal drugs (and any other illegal actions) anywhere in the world and not just in Thailand.

Tories are coming here?

"...and bring THEM back to the states."?? Is he planning to marry a bunch of ladyboys?

Retiree economic refugees can study the option of moving to places like Srilanka or Pakistan. Both countries are now struggling with debts and exchange rate of local currency very favourable. Downside is no alcohol in Pakistan and poor girls in both countries are not easy..

True! And elderly western men's obsession dying to marry professional prostitutes!

You seem to have trouble understanding the article.

Maybe someone can invent a tool to keep the aggressive thieving katoeys at bay.

Definitely closed on 13th. And probably 14th Oct too.
