Where can I see the new rate? I bought 20-year for one million baht, I can remember. My lawyer did everything for me including getting a new Passport from a Antigua, opening a bank account in Antigua, transferring money to Antigua and then getting an Elite visa from Thailand.

There is no guarantee that IOs in the US will give 6-month. It's the maximum. They determine your need and after that they will stamp how long one can stay in the USA. In most cases, family members of foreign nationals are given 6-months which can be extended for another 6-months.

Maybe you can convert your points to cash. I get paid cash to the tune of $1200/year and also I get cash for one year at 3% and then invest it to make more money.

3% for 2K USD purchase is $60 or 2000 baht. If you are getting 1% back and no transaction fees from your bank, it is $30 extra. Why do you want to use credit cards? If your card is giving one year interest free purchase (I get lots offer like that), than it may be OK, otherwise it will be an expensive purchase at high credit card interest rate. If you intend to clear it before it's due, then why not use cash?

In the USA, they now have hundreds that don't charge foreign transaction fees. Most banks have cards that don't charge foreign transaction fees.

Does it include pre-existing conditions? In most countries where universal health care is adopted, it is not a concern for the person. Even in the USA, ultimately if the person does not have significant assets outside the primary residence, he will be absorbed in the medicaid system of most states.

The most expensive electronics I bought from Lazada is a NUC that I urgently needed during Covid-19. And also fitted it with 64Gb memory (I think it came with 512 GB storage). No problem at all. Planning to buy a cheap laptop from AliExpress.

All US credit cards now have 1-3% cash back at least.

False. I charge credit cards everywhere because it has 1. Fraud protections, 2) 1-3% cash back 3) Using OTP for at least 25-days. Of course in the hospital I use a HSA card. Never charged anything extra. Once I was buying a phone in Tukom, and the store said 3% charge. I said, thanks I will go to another store where there is no charge. And suddenly their tune changed and they took it without any charge. All cards I have now are free from international fees.

He may also die in the hospital.

It depends what do they mean by community standard. For example, you cannot upload nude pic. But you can insult a class of member and my post was never removed from facebook but for the same comments it was removed from this forum, I was warned and suspended.

Kitchens in Most McDonald shop in the US are mostly open and customer can see what is going on there. I worked in a McDonald when I was in undergraduate but did not survive for more than a day. Very tough job. Whereas I worked one year in a Mobile Gas station and received several employee of the month rewards in the span of 12 months.

I can get a Fish Fillet with medium fried and drinks for 100-120 baht in Thailand and the same in a small US town costs at least $6.00. Not the same. I never beef burger in McDonald but a search in Google tells me that Big Mac in Bangkok is 129 baht compared to at least $6 in a small US town.

If there is a moderation they remove it while approving the post. After it is posted they don't remove it because a particular group is insulted while members can insult other groups.

Thailand and Pattaya related groups are almost unmoderated. A few that have moderation does not remove a post once it is approved and posted unlike this forum that allows 24-hour bashing Thais, Indians, and Chinese but will remove posted comments if it's sensitive to the group and we all know the group means which group. This forum is meant for people whose voices are not heard anywhere in the world so that they can come here to rant against Thais, Chinese, and Indians as much as they want, including promoting their stereotypes.

I believe there is a divider. You can cross the road after crossing the divider and have to look for traffic on one side only. Good luck.

It will take time but I do believe within two decades, the dollar will be used in less than 50% of world trade transactions from its current value of approximate 90%

That's the exact reason the embassies don't want to talk to every Tom, Dick, Harry who apply for a TV. They have a streamlined process and it never failed any person who I know have applied for a TV. If it fails you it must be your fault.

This forum is full of racists who saw their privileges dwindled as immigrants became doctors, lawyers, CEOs, entrepreneurs, authors, etc. in their own country and they had to flee to a foreign land and live on "wify visa".

Because you fled you home land and took refuge in a foreign country using "wify visa".

Outside Africa and India. India is the best poised for this. After conquering the US with high quality CEOs of fortune 100 companies, lawyers, doctors, engineers, authors, journalists, etc. by the First generation Indian-Americans, the economy is surging and they give middle fingers to the Western countries whenever they want to dictate any terms, just like in the current conflict between Russia and Ukraine. It will take time but by 2050, it may be the thirst largest economy.

All NATO countries are vassal states of the US. Without the US, nobody would be afraid of for NATO.

What is the age difference? Ask yourself this question. Would you have found a lady in your home country of the same age to marry you? If so, why you did not marry in your home country? If you get the answer to this question, you have already resolved your issue.

If there were evidence and Trump's DOJ did not indict her. I can't believe it. How many hours of congressional hearings were held to uncover evidence to indict her? If there were evidence, Trump would have indicted her. No prosecutor will take up a case against a person because people feel the person is guilty.

Never heard of any hassle while leaving because somebody did not file Tm30 or 90-day report.
