    Two problems: 1. Will lead to weaker baht, so Thailand will lose face. 2. The upper 10,000 will have to pay more for overseas villas and holidays... So, better let the economy shrink. 😆

    No, it's not. And once that war is finally over, guess whom media and politicians will blame for all ills in society, economy, and politics - Trump, Trump, Trump, Trump... (And no, my country isn't the U.S. either.)

    I've been following talk shows and politics in my home country... High living costs - blame this war, expensive electricity - blame Putin, lack of affordable housing - it's the war! Country almost bankrupt and high debt - because of the Ukraine war, bad economy - just blame the war. Incompetent politicians - and yeah, blame the war in Ukraine .. 😵‍💫

    Very interesting statistics; most exports go to ASEAN... (Rice, noodles, food??) Exports to 'Europe' (EU, UK, ...) and Japan are surprisingly low, relative to potential speaking, as are imports from Western countries. Seems, the reliance on neighbouring countries and, of course, China is very high, not only in tourism.

    WW 111?? How long did I sleep? 😆

    And now they have four times the number of tourists, who, on average, stay 1/4 of the holiday duration compared to 20 years ago... 😆
  7. StayinThailand2much
    True, as all tourists have to leave after 90 days.
  8. StayinThailand2much
    Those pesky tourists again... If it weren't for the TAT, etc., they could just close the borders shut for good. 😆

    Apply for a retirement visa first, with 800,000 in the bank. Thai bureaucrats and bankers will love the extra cash after you cark it... 😆
  10. StayinThailand2much
    Will they encourage all those senior tourists to come just once a year, spending the average 7 or 8 days per trip?

    Has been going around in China recently with all hospitals crowded. Well, all these quality tourists from up north had to bring something... 😆
  12. StayinThailand2much
    They have been offering illegal visa practices for more than 20 years, often even offering them to law-abiding tourists out of the blue... TiT! 😆
  13. StayinThailand2much
    How to retire, or stay longer-term, if one cannot open a bank account? Does Immigration accept a briefcase with 800,000 in cash now as proof of retirement funds? 😆
  14. StayinThailand2much
    Not at all, if you want a subsistence-based economy, no foreign trade, or foreign relations, and no foreign tourist arrivals... 😆

    Better than Nok or Thai apps. Last time I tried to book a flight with them (2022), their app and website wouldn't go with my card. I booked with Singapore Air instead, and happily paid a few bucks more.
