"He suggested that the government speed up the “Cloud First” policy, which could prevent data leaks." Still need your security processes and hardening in order to prevent that.

You think wrong: Grab Confirms Acquisition Of Uber's Southeast Asia Operations (vulcanpost.com)

I don't have an expat kid but enrolling in a Thai university should be good for 4 years of Education visa. After that a job should be possible.

It might be, we both don't know that. The OP might not think clear as he is in emotional distress. What is your excuse for your answer?

Where does it state that the offer was in cash?

You are making things up.

He was offered 100,000 euro's which is over 3.8 million thb to drop the case.

Are you even living in Thailand? Nonsense comment.

Grab bought Uber in Thailand quite a while ago.

Settle the civil case asap.

Once pawned it is secondhand, there could be scratches etc. You will not have then when buying new. Secondhand things are cheaper than new things.

You forget, the card games and other betting things going on.

Then let her get on a bus to Laos, it isn't rocket science.

Your GF can get into Laos without a passport and bring all your luggage. Go back to work and sort out a retirement visa next time.

What hassle would remain?

The owner of a pawnshop will always give you less money than the goods are worth. So they can make money when they want to sell it once people don't pick up their items on time.

When you retire in a country, it would be wise to learn the language. I went to school without the need of an ED visa.

If you have money, you can buy an elite visa.

Section 329. Good Faith Statement A person, in good faith, expresses any opinion or a statement: By way of self-justification or defense, or for the protection of a legitimate interest; Not the case In the status of being an official in the exercise of his functions; By way of fair comment on any person or thing subjected to public criticism; or Not the case By way of fair report of the open proceeding of any Court or meeting shall not be guilty of defamation. Section 330. Truth as a Defense In case of defamation, if the person prosecuted for defamation can prove that the imputation made by him is true, he shall not be punished. But he shall not be allowed to prove if such imputation concerns personal matters, and such proof will not be benefit to the public.

"If proven true, a defamation is not defamation anymore" Not according to Thai law.

Having a retirement visa doesn't stop you from working in your home country.

Appeal for what reason? Like you said there are scooters in all sort of sizes. The engine size she used is too big to drive without a motorcycle driving's license. Coming with the excuse, I didn't know is pretty dumb.

"Thoughts & prayers." Like that is going to help.

The OP has a long-term GF already, so i am not suggesting a marriage out of convenience. With proper Education, I thought of a university which has some nice long holidays. Now it appears he could go for a retirement visa. Digital nomads can have a LTR visa if they make enough money, setup a company here or get employed. Now they work here and don't pay Thai tax (forget the stupid, I pay VAT excuse). Too much entitlement on this part.
