Changing from Marriage Extension visa to Retirement Extension visa
I changed from marriage to retirement some years ago at CW. Very straightforward, no hassle. Just be clear whether you are retaining 800k bath in the bank, or proposing an application based on monthly income.

Foreign Earnings Taxed Under New Thai Rules - But With Exceptions
'The new policy encourages Thai nationals to repatriate foreign income for investment in Thailand'. Taxing foreign income in this way will not encourage anyone, Thai or foreign, to bring money into Thailand. Completely the reverse I would think. Mind boggling logic.

What exactly is a Thai pink ID card?
Advantage is that the pink card is generally accepted as the individual foreigner's ID. No disadvantage that I can think of.

Thailand Overhauls Stimulus Strategy, Cancels Digital Wallet Plans
Putting aside the politics of this issue I was impressed by the PM's English spoken version of the change in policy, just as one would expect from a former student of the University of Surrey in Guildford in the UK.

dying from cancer at home in Thailand
You make an important point. So much depends on personal circumstances when facing a terminal illness. I should have added a lot will depend on the ability/willingness of those around him in Thailand to take full responsibility for his well- being if and when he becomes unable to do so himself.

dying from cancer at home in Thailand
The poster was asking for a recommendation as to whether or not he should return to his home in Thailand. If he is able to pay for whatever treatment/medication he needs I would say he should return to Thailand. BTW morphine is available for home use, at a price.

dying from cancer at home in Thailand

UK Delays Chagos Islands Agreement Amid Political Turmoil Over Welfare Cuts
There was never a need to transfer sovereignty of the Chagos islands to Mauritius which is over a thousand miles distant. Why on earth the Tories started this is a mystery, now compounded by Labour apparently also in support of the transfer. Also, the cost of the terms is enormous at a time when the UK is bankrupt and heavily in debt.

Pattaya Immigration Police Arrest Foreign Nationals for Begging Scheme
Any country would be rightly concerned to find foreign beggars on it's streets. It's objectives should be to improve the lives of those of it's own citizens who are impoverished.
