You know how stereotyping works? Nazi yellow press "Der Stuermer" was perfect in this. The guy from the other country might have a long nose (even "Farang" means "long nose"), he might be from a middle east country, and so he falls into the stereotype of an "unwanted foreigner". I am German by passport. You have any idea how often in Thailand I heard Germans yell "Auslaender raus!" ("foreigners out!")? And it's very easy for them to point at someone's nose like the Nazis did in their aforementioned propaganda leaflet. That IS racism, nothing less.

micmichd replied to webfact's topic in ASEAN NOW Community Pub
If I die, my wife will get my pensions that I worked for. And I certainly don't care what will happen after I die. I got my will to get cremated in a Buddhist ceremony, and my ashes will be thrown into the gulf of Siam. Period. -

And that's exactly what annoys Western women so much. Because they want the money. -
Could you afford to live in the UK compared to Thailand?
micmichd replied to webfact's topic in Thailand News
I'm German, and I don't have anything in GerMoney anymore except my pensions that I worked for. I actually disgust GeeMoney, and I have no kids to feed nor a scrounging wife over there. Fortunately. -

micmichd replied to webfact's topic in Thailand News
If I would "relocate" to GerMoney, there would be nothing for free to me in this nanny state that I never wanted. And I doubt there's anything really for free in the UK. -

He's using an international database for comparison. So it's not his private opinion. -
Doesn’t the TAT want tourists here in Thailand?
micmichd replied to webfact's topic in Thailand News
Maybe tourism will not be the same, but it will still be there. If no Westerners come then tourists will come from Asian countries (eg India) -
Thailand’s PM says tourist numbers to triple in 2023
micmichd replied to webfact's topic in Thailand News
Be sure Thailand is very well informed about the worldwide economic crisis. -
They can get an invitation from someone who guarantees they will not be a burden to Europe. Especially if they have a family here in Thailand they have a reason to return. That should be enough to grant them a Schengen tourist visa. It's a shame for European countries that they check this while I was never checked when I came as a tourist to Thailand - without a visa.

They don't have to. Thailand is already on top of tourist destinations worldwide. -
‘Tourism fee’, now for all travellers to Thailand, ready to launch
micmichd replied to webfact's topic in Thailand News
Maybe because you get repatriated with this kind of insurance, and long stay people wouldn't like that. I'm long stay, and I certainly wouldn't like to get repatriated to Germany. -

This insurance is for foreign tourists, and they can use it (instead of leaving unpaid bills) -

That would be an additional accident insurance where you can put someone (your Thai spouse) as a beneciary in case you die. Or put in a will.
