I am assuming to be eligible for this visa, one would have to prove he/she really is a digital nomad, otherwise everyone will be getting one. Only conditions i can see would be able to show funds in the bank and some kind of proof of being a DN

My friend stays  for 6 months in Thailand and it will be a perfect visa for him and others like him. Pre covid, he used to get an O-A (he is above 50) every two years but there is no need for that with this visa. Also, people under 50 now have a legitimate visa they can use for long term stay without border hopping.

More flights doesn't automatically mean more passengers/tourists. Do I have more money if I open more bank accounts?

I have 30 checking accounts and I have 100 million.

Already is for plenty of folks.  All that is needed is half decent net access and legal foreign condo ownership.   

Net access is OK in Thailand, specially in Pattaya and Bangkok where I have condos. I get cheaper rate than in the USA. 1000/300 I get for 700 baht that includes dtac 10 gig of data. The same I pay $50 in my house in an Illinois university town and cant get in my Las Vegas condo unless I fork more than $200.

They should give work permit, starting with a minimum tax payments based on 40K baht incomes. People will flock from all over the World. No need for fixing existing corruption. In fact, I would not have moved to Thailand if it was squeaky clean like Singapore. I want agents to do everything for me with a reasonable fee.  It will be nice if they improve the air quality. 

Does she have a covid insurance? It just boggles my mind that people who cannot afford to pay out-of pocket don't buy insurance and people who can do buy. That's the difference between a rich and a poor person. I have 100 mil in banks but I bought a covid insurance. I don't buy regular insurance because I have 12K USD sitting in my HSA cards (accepted by any hospitals in Thailand) and I have a high deductible health insurance that pays 50% when in Thailand.

We're going on a little break to Hua Hin next week to do our part in helping the economy!

The arrogance of people, without saying that unable to find a bride in my home country I have travelled 10,000 miles to find a bride and sometimes a prostitute bride. I spend millions in Thailand and never say that I came to Thailand to help Thai people. 

High rate of reinfection among double vaxxed people with Western media's propagandized superiority of their vaccine necessitate the blame to the new variant. Some people realize the scam Western media are pulling with their "supposed" superior vaccines and others are like sheeple drinking the cool aid of Western media's  propaganda. 

Is mining crypto currency legal in Thailand? It seems so. I do mine cryptos using ASIC miners and solar power in Las Vegas. I can invest up to 3 mil to set up a 10 unit mining farm in Thailand.

Clearly you don't know much about the country. You really think Thai economy is made of brothels? Have you ever walked in a major city? I'm baffled.

20% of the economy, I meant. Keep all the brothels (fronting as bars where you can get a girl for pay for play after paying a bar fine) closed and let's see how many tourists dollars Thailand can generate.

how crucial it was for the country to open in order to avoid a complete economic meltdown.

That's what happens when your economy is based on brothels fronting as bars.

I use Krungsri. The Mee Tae Dai savings accounts offers 1% interest but operates like a normal account with a debit card, internet banking etc. Only issue is a 50 baht charge on more than 2 withdrawals a month.

I also have a mai tae dai account with one million sitting in the account. I don't need retirement extension as I have a 20-year elite that is going to expire, most probably, after my death. I use the ATM card to test the honesty of 19-year old hired GFs by giving them the ATM card for withdrawal. They can also see that I'm loaded. ????

I am all for the country's reopening, been advocating for it for many months.

Advocating where? How many rallies you have attended to demand opening? How many letters you have written to authorities and published in news papers? How many  articles you have published advocating for an opening?

Thalay said his vehicle had been having problems. The police are waiting on the extent of the injuries before charging him with negligent driving, reported Chiang Mai News. 

"Having problems" - A classic

My Dtac number is topped up with 30 baht I think every month automatically.

If he is not a hypocrite, he would boycott due to bars being open in Switzerland

Can't compare swiss bars to Thailand's brothels fronting as bars. When did the people go to Swiss bars to find their prostitute brides?

If a Red Notice exists police in other countries could detain him if they had an inclination to do so, that's all.   Interpol notices are advices only, they are not instructions or demands neither are they warrants.

Interpol red notices from authoritarian countries are held in suspicion in most democratic countries.

Instead he praised his leader Prayuth Chan-ocha for doing everything right and providing wonderful vaccine for the people.

Typical authoritarian comment. If you want to keep entertainment establishment shut for years, bring all those girls working in those establishment under social safety net. Borrow money and increase tax and cut government expenses whatever it requires to bring the girls under social safety net and recognize their contribution to Thailand's brothel/prostitute bride/orgy culture that you call bars and entertainment centers.
