Years ago public toilets were installed in some busy locations in Bangkok. They were dismantled because taps, toilet seats, toilets, pipes etc were stolen, replaced, and stolen again.
Maybe a previous farang customer had behaved badly, or maybe you yourself behaved badly during a previous visit, perhaps when intoxicated, and you are unable ro recall the incident. Either way, the behaviour of the staff about which you are complaining doesn'f sound at all like the normal behaviour of Thai people.
Trump was less than an inch away from being shot through the head, two people have died, and sevaral others badly injured. And you say this was staged ? You're either sick or stupid, or both.
Just to.point out that you are referring to reasons for extension change, not visa change. Also, changes to the tax laws have not yet been applied and are only at the proposal stage. My advice is wait and see. They may never happen.
In my lifetime there have been several attempts to assassinate US politicians, at least 2 of them being successful. In this case the bullet was only an inch away from shooting Trump through the head. His defiant survival, and the iconic photos taken, will go down in history, and will have impressed a lot of people around the world.
Who can say whether or not these predictions are credible ? I have no idea. Personally, I relinquished any interest in polls many years ago. Unreliable, and not worth the time and money spent on them in ny opinion.
You may think chairs, tables, beds, fridges, cookers/stoves, cupboards etc are junk, but I find them useful, as may those who get to use them after my death.
The only difference for me would be occasionally enjoying the Bangkok nightlife which is way more entertaining than in my home country, the UK. Otherwise retirement is much the same for me in Thailand as it would be in England.
