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.

Is that an excuse to act like lemmings? 5

No one forbids you to get a travel health insurance in your home country which you can use as an add-up. Expats who work here are not tourists.

Probably yes, because Thais are already insured under the Thai Universal Health Care Scheme.

What about teaching your non-Thai kids to work at home and earn their own money instead of simply inheriting it?

Nobody said hotel prices go up. Just Thai people get a discount in their country.

What problems exactly do tourists on a tourist visa have?

No. You just get a discount if you qualify as a Thai.

In Orwell's 1984 geography Thailand would have been a "disputed area", not one of the 3 superpowers.

Why? For foreign tourists nothing will change as compared to the pre-pandemic days. Just the natives get a discount. How come that upsets someome?

Better tell your friends not to get intoxicated if you hang around with Thai ladies in public.

So, Thailand at least has one unneglible point today.

The companies may be foreign, but the people who work there and run are probably Thai.

Not for me. Thailand is my only residence, and Europe is not attractive anymore.

Who told you that the guy in question is from the UK?

See how dangerous it is to go to Europe these days?

You probably would be shocked if you could see, hear and understand what kind of tourists are roaming around in Pattaya.

People ask questions? People here on Thaivisa are simply biased because the Lithuanian in charge is a farang and most of the posters is also a farang. But in Thailand he will have no privileges based on colour of his skin. Obviously not understandable to people who are used to get privileges.

He's probably already charged with murder and now kept in custody until sentenced or released. Hopefully no EU country will bail him out.

Why? You only need a piece of hair for a DNA test.

Maybe they took DNA before cremating her. For forensic evidence.

The terminus technicus in Thailand is Kathoey. https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Kathoey Would you call them "men" if you meet them in the streets?

Follow the money if you need a motive.

To me it sounds quite plausible. Many German tourists in Thailand are simply impotent.
