  1. We are not all the same. I prefer critical thinking, compassion, and right action over painting over uncomfortable aspects of life. I am glad for you that you have found a way to put a positive spin on your reality. But there is a lot of horrible things in this world and those who refuse to see it as it is are also those who are unable to make any positive change about it.

    If someone tried to comfort me after my daughter had been killed in an accident by trying to put a positive spin on it. I would be enraged and likely more damaged than before. Decent and useful people would accept my grief and suffer with me.

    Here's one for you. A child has been sick and getting worse for over a year, the doctors say he will never get better and will eventually die. Now show me the bright side so I can tell the parents.

    Guys who have been in the same marriage here for more than ten years and have kept their nose clean and contributed to the economy and have children who are Thai citizens, should at least get the same deal as the foreign ladies. But nope, they prefer to leave us at the mercy of the changing visa rules and forcing us leave the country every 3 months.

    Since when do foreigner males with Thai spouse or retirement visas have to leave the country every three months?

    Without going into detail, my extension of stay gets me a 90 day stamp each time I cross a border.

  3. "But nope, they prefer to leave us at the mercy of the changing visa rules and forcing us leave the country every 3 months."

    What changes have been made that force you to leave the country every 90 days?

    I suppose if you don't meet the basic requirements..., but there haven't been any significant changes to them.

    At the mercy of rules that may change at any time in this land of political musical chairs. Citizenship brings some security and that is my point.. I would be a citizen by now if I had the right plumbing.

    And my particular visa does require I leave every 90 days. I know there are other options but not a fit for every situation.
