Been a while since I came in for my dose of entertainment from reading the response here. Never fail to disappoint. Still the same old mistakes being made, just different people with egos bigger than their nuts. Unless you had set up a family office in Thailand, they don't give a hoot who you are and how much you had contributed. Stop thinking Thailand should and would welcome you because if you were in that category, you wouldn't feel so left out now. It's quite obvious most of you are passed your best in bank account size and age to contribute to what Thailand really want. If you want to know what kind of foreigner they want, look at the owner of Minor. That's the level you have to compare with.
