Yea crazy, but it's not actually a direct fee, it's an "investment". Doesn't that mean you can start your own limited company and invest in yourself?? According to information released on Thursday, the 32 million baht investment can be made in three ways, including in real estate, investment in a limited or public limited company or as an investment in the stock market, which can include via an investment agency approved by the Securities and Exchange Commission.

From this photo, these are not "Zebra crossings" as we know in the UK. These are traffic light crossings. There are no traffic lights at Zebra crossings so it's up to the driver to be considerate and courteous to pedestrians and allow them to cross (hahahaha... hahahahahahha... hahahahahahahahahahaha...)

I used to, warily, stop for pedestrians, but no one expects that. The car behind might pass you and hit people crossing or hit you from behind. As we know there's minimum driver's ed and this is just another example.

Awesome, now I can have a drink with the taxi driver while we're waiting in traffic.

I got it, if you're retired, married to a Thai, you have children, you've invested in a home and contribute to your local economy, you get a 10 year visa. Perfect! Wait, what's that? No, not you. You just continue with your 1 year visa extension. But if you win the lottery we may re-consider your situation. Just be sure to check in every 90 days.

3mB just in case you need 3 heart bypass surgeries in a year. I don't think excessive and unnecessary insurance costs for foreigners are going to help the Thai healthcare industry.

Since we need insurance to cover Covid hospital treatment expenses, estimated as high as $100k, it also makes Thailand healthcare one of the most expensive in the world.

Yes, those pound shop vaccines were not a good idea....

What is that, "common sense"?

That's right, come to Thailand and invest. Buy a house, start a family then we'll still deport you at the drop of a hat because you have no status.

Sure, invest in Thailand. Buy a house. Just be prepared if you're refused entry into the country during the next health crisis or coup d'etat.

On second thoughts, stick to paper. The warehouses full of forms, applications, 90 days check-ins etc. that no-one will ever look at again, are far more secure.

Well I hope that doesn't encourage locals to drink more. They may end up driving when they're drunk. Heaven forbid!!!!

This was scientifically achieved by removing the Listerne label from the plastic bottle.

Well, of course not. They can just do temp checks as early warning. In any case you can stick the swab up your own nose for any of those tests.
