What visa to stay 175 days a year to avoid 800k deposit in bank?
"buried in paperwork"? It takes me all of 1 hour a year to get my retirement visa. Leave 800k in the bank and that's it. What could be easier as you ger older. This new tax thing is a non event if you live on a pension which is already taxed in your home country.

160 Honda Click 2 year review
Had mine 2 years and it has been faultless. The gas consumption is amazing, just over 50 kpl, even around town. My tgf has a Click 150i and my 160 feels much faster, smoother and more balanced on the road. Better brakes as well. My only issue is the front suspension which bottoms out going over any bigish potholes. Unless you need to go outside town, or are a lardarse, why buy anything else. I had to pay a 2.5k premium for mine in 2022 now they are back to the list 69,900 baht. The Aerox, and definitely PCX, are much more.

Has anyone had a good experience dating/marrying a bar girl or prostitute in Thailand?
I've had 2 horror stories marrying "so called" decent women in the UK. After that thai bar girls are like angels.

condo management refuse to repair dampness problem
I am not sure if there is a set quota but usually 9-12 co-owners. The best run Committees have a majority of farangs running it. If it gets taken over by thais (especially friends of the developer) then you have problems.

How hard for Thai Citizen to visit U.S.A just for a short holiday?
It seems bizarre that 98% are refused entry to the USA yet Biden lets in millions of migrants from the Mexican border (many Chinese!) with no checks whatsever. Same in the UK, we have "strict" entry requirements for honest people but criminals can just get in a dingy and sail across from France, no problem !

New Tax Rules for Expats in Thailand Spark Concern
Surely most retired expats live here on pensions which they get from the old countries. These will have been taxed and therefore, under tax treaties, will not be subject to further thai tax. What's all the fuss about?

condo management refuse to repair dampness problem
What about the Condo Committee. In my condo the Committe, which i am on, looks at all of these sort of problems. If they feel a repair is required they instruct the "management" to do it. It is not up to the office to refuse. And in answer to the post by Etaoin the Juristic entity don't own the property. The co-owners do, represented by the Committee. If the JP refused instructions from the Committee we would terminate or not renew their management contract.

Thinking about retiring in Egypt: What might the main advantages be?
The whole of the Middle East is one giant cesspit, especially poor countries like Egypt. Why would anyone retire there? Omar was Egyptian, so to him i guess it's home.

Thailand Set to Recriminalise Cannabis Amid Expert Outcry
It was obvious from the start that turning Thailand's youth into a bunch of stoners was not a good idea. You don't need to be an "expert" to work that one out.

Which Side Will Thailand Choose?
So you think it's OK for China to take over the whole South China sea, and democratic countries like Taiwan and Tibet, against all international law. If countries standing up to this aggression is poking then they need poking.

In your opinion, was "Chicago" an extremely powerful band?
Their first album was one of the greatest ever but after that they never seemed to do so well. I still listen to CTA after 54 years. The Who of course so many great songs and albums.
