Cost of living has gone through the roof in the states, especially housing costs, Energy and food. Crime has gotten a lot worse too.

Can someone please advise how many shots constitute fully vaccinated in Thailand?

TAT comes up with a good idea about once every leap year ????

After they get you to invest in a Ponzi scheme!

The western economies have reach the next level towards collapsing so way less people will be traveling. For those who are lucky enough to be able to afford to travel, they won't choose choose any tourist destination that has a laundry list of requirements (like Thailand Pass and Insurance) just to visit the country.

Does the staff speak sufficient english at Sriphat, McCormick, or Rajavej?

I usually don't agree with most of the ridiculous announcements and proposals that TAT has made in the past but extending the visa exemption to 45 days is a good idea. If they allowed Immigration to allow an additional 45 day extension instead of a 30 day extension that would be even better.

ThaiEmbassy.com states that the longer term STV is no longer offered. "The STV project is only valid until September 30, 2021."

You can't leave and come back on a STV (Single Entry Tourist Visa).

His nose is bigger than his hoohaa! ????????

Dear CCSA, Take Thailand Pass and shove it...

How is Kad Suan Kaew these days?

Are the Songthaews still 30 Baht in CM?

Have the public blue buses (R1, R3) resumed their routes in CM?

A lot of inflation and crime in the U.S. these days!

What city is the Chiang Mai of Mexico? Did you get temporary or permanent resident status?

99% of NYC women are Gold Diggers with a million requirements they have for men as well.

Thanks, what do you think about Guadalajara and do you use the public health system or have Private health insurance? I'll check out your thread on Mexico.

I am considering Mexico. Can you give an idea of what a monthly budget would be like in USD for a low/medium budget? is crime in Mexico not as bad as the media reports?

Here we go again! 1 Million USD, everything TAT mentions is a "Scheme". ????

Having lived in Thailand I know things are not all unicorns and rainbows. Things like dealing with immigration and their sometimes arbitrary rules (Remember the TM30 debacle?), government rules that change month to month, air quality during burning season, Farang pricing not only in national parks but also by merchants and hospitals, Taxi/Tuk Tuk overpricing, and bad drivers are just some things expats in Thailand put up with. However, with the world a mess, inflation running rampant, the cost of living becoming untenable in the west,and crime going through the roof in the west as well, do you think a lot of new expats will move to Thailand after the pandemic becomes endemic? In reality, it won't be an escape to paradise (we know better) but more so, an escape from something worse back in the west. Thoughts?

Too bad they couldn't give him at least a year. Him still stating his innocence at the end shows shows he is out of touch and in denial.

Good grief! TAT = SSDD (Same Sh*t, different day) ????
