This is not a huge amount. If Biden agrees to forgive it, he should have strings attached. You don't get anything for nothing these days - ask the Chinese and they will tell you the same.

CCP would definitely be too happy to participate an a plan to assume the debt!

Ah bless his cotton murdering socks.. a lot of rummaging going on under the covers is he sat on his gun ????

It looks like he s searching for some feeling below that  he misses.

Cost would be prohibited. Probably an invitation will go out to CCP to get involved, much like the unofficial annexation of Cambodia.

Anybody  returning from a few weeks in Asia, discover that feet keep intensely cold at night?

I thought it might be the body overly responding to hot weather to keep us cool?

Reading this and so many other posts, and conflicting advice,  people need not wonder why some just give up and go and live somewhere else, or never seriously consider Thailand, past doing an bit of research on the visa and stay process.  Three of my friends, previously planning to retire to Thailand have given up on this place and located  to other hot/sunny locations.  All have been welcomed in their new home countries with a very easy long term visa/stay process, that doesn't include jumping through ever changing and complex hoops just to stay and spend their retirement money.  Maybe one day Thailand will  wake up, buck up and try to accommodate retirees who bring wealth and investment into the country,  but I somehow doubt that will ever happen.  If it wasn't for my close family connections here,  and a promise made many years ago to a lady who has stood by me for that length of time, I wouldn't consider living here for a minute. 

Hey Pilot,

Would you care to expand on the info given, as in the names of these "other hot/sunny locations" that three of your friends have located to? I'm sure a lot of readers would be interested in alternatives!

Thanks

I plan on visiting a few asian countries for holiday in the new year. My itinerary is very loosely planned, as i don't know how long I will want to stay in each of the different countries. I understand, though,  that I must have a return ticket in order to get a visa. This might be a problem as per my loose schedule. Also, I may want to arrive in Bangkok, but after some moving about, not necessarily  departing home to Canada from Bangkok. I may want to return to Canada from Hanoi or from Cambodia. Would that complicate my plans too much?
