After 35 years living in Thailand, except for a spell of 6 years spent in Taiwan from '86 to '93, Thailand is still fine as far as I am concerned. Taiwan would also be fine if I was looking for an alternative. Both places operate a reasonable non-immigrant status system, with no need to opt for residency unless you have a particular reason for so doing.

800.000 baht is not very much if you genuinely have retired and have committed to living in Thailand.
Maybe the people getting worried do not really have enough to retire here? I know many people worry about the exchange rates,if that is the case again maybe they are not financially ready for retirement here?
I am far from being well off but I have put enough money in a Thai account to ensure a worry free retirement.
Interest rates here are no worse than my home country. I am not wealthy enough to speculate and possibly lose on the investment of stocks and shares . Therefore I see no reason not to have savings here.
Entirely agree.

Trump tries to keep his promises-unlike Obama and Bush.

the idiots have had nearly 3 years to sort this out, and now they want or thinking they need an extension, plans should have been in place before they submitted article 50. all these failed negotiations and fake news stories about the risks of leaving , is a ploy by the remoaners and the EU, to sow discontent among the people to stop us leaving
Absolutely correct.

They had an over inflated idea of how much power the UK had vs the EU, now lets see when they are out on their own.. the UK will have less power still.
Rubbish.

Mostly cruel and clueless with all animals, not only dogs. Very strange in what is supposedly a Buddhist country.

How much has this exercise cost the taxpayer so far ? Mueller and his accomplices are receiving huge stipends and very generous expenses.

Excellent. I have lived in Thailand since the early 80s, dividing time between our Bangkok and Rayong homes. Your article brings back many happy memories of Bangkok in earlier times. It remains my favourite city of all those I have lived in around the world, including my home town, London, which is dull and lacks any sense of excitement by comparison.

No deal is a betrayal of the referendum. Instead of gaining sovereignty it relinquishes more decisions to unelected institutions that the UK as less influence over. WTO rules are reached by consensus from all members not any individual. The dispute resolution overrides UK courts
This doesn't make sense. Have another go.

No Deal will be fine. Don't pay any attention to Remainers. They are, literally, petrified at the thought of leaving the EU. Sad and pathetic.
