I pray things change soon and that it gets better because this is the only thing about Thailand that worries me, more like scares the hell out of me. I like it here too much to leave but if it gets worse and turns into another China or Russia type of country I don’t know what will happen. But I really like it here it’s a shame.

“The baht will not appreciate to more than 31 baht to the dollar in 2019” HA HA, sorry but that’s already happened a few times including this morning it fluctuated to 32.01 baht to the dollar earlier this morning but now it’s fluctuated back down to 31.98. Lately it’s been staying above 31.9 baht to the dollar and holding stable. Just last month it was 31.5 baht to the dollar now it’s holding steady at just barely below 32 baht to the dollar between 31.95 and 31.98 and occasionally it does jump above 32 baht to the dollar. It’s looking a lot better lately and I agree this article is wrong but not for the same reasons that some people are saying. Unfortunately you can’t trust local media information regarding economics or politics right now.

If no body sees it, it didn’t happen

Totally agree. To many of us, Thai immigration has gone too far and at the very least it's time to seriously look at Plans B and even Plans C.
I've never even been to India. 
I assume there are pros and cons.
Pros such as English spoken and the food if you like the food, which I do.
Cons such as ridiculous crowding and pollution in the bigger cities.
But it's a very big country.
Other then the must leave thing for that 5 year thing, what are the other requirements?
