BOI is located on the 18th floor of the Chumchuri Square Bldg. Across the hall from Immigration. Check in with BOI and an agent will escort you to necessary Immigration stations, one if which is dedicated solely to LTR Visas. First floor is Starbucks and several banks/ATMs. Square lies at the Sam Yan MRT station. Got my LTR Visa in November 2022 and must report in person for residence November 2023.

For any purchase 20,000 baht or more COD is not an option. Not sure 'never works' entailed but it wasn't any effort to send a copy of passport and bank passbook via email to Lazada to activate the account. Talk to Lazada customer agent. Having the wallet facilitates both purchase and refunds.

Should be named the Thai-Myanmar Coup Friendly Bridge.

Just Googled it and find the A2 shuttle bus (air conditioned blue & orange buses) goes from airport to Victory Monument via BTS Mo Chit and MRT Chatuchak Park. See route map. Shows bus leaves/arrive at northwest side of monument circle. https://nonstopasia.com/a2-bus-don-mueang-to-victory-monument/

Whether she wins or she loses, she can buy real estate in the US.

Good luck mailing it back and being acknowledged in SS system. I mailed (via EMS that only tracks to US port of enty) my first 7162 in July 2022, then got another in December 2022. Mailed that via DHL to a US friend who remailed it USPS certified to the SS post office box. USPS tracked delivery and receipt to SS. Called SS* this month who could not find my updated 7162's in their system. The agent said that their system does not show any action to suspend my SS so I'm ok. ??!? I will call SS again next month. * 800-772-1213 M-F 9am-4pm EST; W 9am-noon EST.

Get the K-Plus app for your mobile phone, have your KB debit card registered at KB for mobile online use, make sure your card payment/withdrawal limits suffice fir your intentions. Br8ng passport. Activate Lazada Wallet in the Lazada app. Refunds are made to the Wallet shown in your app by Lazada and can quickly be transferred to your KB account. Note that to activate wallet you must take a mobile picture of your original passport. My 2023 passport had so many new complex anti-photo devises to cause blur and glare - would not be accepted. Eventually Lazada sent me an email requesting copy of photo of passport and KB passport page showing account, then activating the Wallet.

There's nothing more deserving than having a close trade and security relationship with a country that sells drones to Russia so it can kill Ukrainian civilians, destroy infrastructure, power and water facilities. Remembering that Thailand became part of the Axis alliance in WW2 as a result of its surrender to the Japanese, no surprise.

"Defense volunters" are better called 'paramilitary.' They are essentially paid mercenaries for the Thai military. They have access to RTM armory and bases. They do not defend Muslim institutions and its people from forced integration into Thai Buddhist traditions and culture. They take their orders from Thailand"s Internal Security Operations Command, the political arm of the Royal Thai Military. Basically the RTM uses defense volunteers as "cannon fodder" on patrols so as to not endanger RTM soldiers.

Defending the sovereignty of your nation is terrorism? Read the history of the Kingdom of Patani. The Kingdom of Siam/Thailand invaded the caliphate and forcibly annexed it into Siam/Thailand. Dominated by Budhists. Very similar to what Russia is now attempting with its invasion of Ukraine. Russia calls Ukrainian soldiers "terrorists" too for attacking Russia.

Check to see if you qualify for a Long Term Resident visa, 10 years in two 5-year segments, annual (vs 90-day) notification of residence, no re-entry permit required at airport. Total cost 50k baht. Four different categories- one might fit you: Remote workers working for well-established companies overseas. https://ltr.boi.go.th/page/ltr-brochure.html

I'm sure Malaysia would not reject Muslim refugees seeking asylum. While Thailand won't provide asylum as a matter of foreign policy resulting in chase, jail, physical abuse, deportation, etc., just publically and safely arrange a government escort for them through Thailand to Malaysia (assuming pre-approval by Malaysian government)? Win-win. Or would such State generosity contrary to Buddhist philosophy trigger China's displeasure? Duh.

In a country where no expense is spared by the State to provide the military annually with expensive aircraft, ships and ground vehicles, have you ever seen a State-owned (Minister of Education?) school (yellow) bus designed to safely transport students? No excuse.

Is "Chang" short for "cha-ching"? The sound of money.

Yes. Good advice. Thailand distinguishes foreign ownership from Thai ownership. Unlike typical Western nations that treat foreigners as equals to their citizens with regard to property ownership. So unique estate transfer rules apply pending what an owner's or partial owner's will provides.

In case anyone missed it, the junta-appointed Senate would assure Thai electorate votes in the General Election are irrelevant when it comes to an elected PM. Consistent with "Thai-styled" democracy.

Apparently not available in Thailand, you might consider after arriving in the US get a vaccination for XBB.1.5 Omicron subvariant that seems to be sweeping the US. Worse effects than Covid-19 and easier to infect.

Just like the Constitution Court should be independent of politics and support the law; instead listens first to those (the "Good People") that create and perpetuate court justices and EC membership. So should PTP dissolution get to the CC, be sure its decision will be sadly predictable.

I would call it a "Russian Revival." A "Russian Revolution" usually means civilians die vs going on vacation.

If the Constitution Court can say that PM Prayut wasn't PM for 4 years (2014-2018), then the NBTC majority decision shouldn't be surprising. Radical nationalism.

Judging by your travel needs and cited finances, you may qualify for a 10-year Long Term Resident Visa based on retirement (Wealthy Pensioner). No re-entry permit required vs non O-A.
