It looks like they are desperate to impeach Trump seeing as he will thrash any Dem candidate, yet don't have a reason to do it. Not good optics for them heading into 2020.
Don't you realize that Trump is a corrupt president ?
Even as a Republican you should not want to keep a president like this.

The problem is the plastic trash in the water.
I was there a couple of months ago. It is so bad that it is terrible to swim there. It feels like swimming in plastic soup. No Patong for me anymore.

As "WithMarco" said "thailand is definitely out of question, just too many hassles, taxes, and visa BS."
So, that would leave us with an off-shore only option in your name. This seems the better solution. However, I am wondering how this is possible. Because if there is no Thai business, then how can you receive a Thai Work Permit & Thai Business Visa that needs to be linked with a Thai business?

A UK limited is perfect for this.

Not.
But you can try a retirement visa, a visa based on marriage etc. You can also live in Thailand 6+ months a year on tourist visa and spend the remaining time in Vietnam or Bali. Thailand is nice, because you do not pay tax on foreign income in certain conditions. So it is interesting to stay in Thailand 6 months + 1 day en become tax resident.

"Thai immigration police working with the department of Homeland Security Investigations of the USA "
Most countries have police responsible for tracking citizens trying to hide. Probably he wasn't careful and used his home WIFI to send an email to one of his family members. That mailbox was monitored by US police so they found his IP and used that to determine his exact location. Or maybe after 4,5 years on the run he wasn't careful anymore and posted something on Facebook or another social media platform. That platform gave the IP he used to post to the police in the US. Or maybe that platform even had his exact location because his phone (GPS) reported the exact location. If you want to hide it is best not to use internet or contact old friends/relatives. Even using fake names on social media will not help if you become friends with relatives and friends from the past.
Probably Thai police didn't do anything. They just went to the address the "department of Homeland Security Investigations of the USA" gave them.

most tourists don't check Before booking an holiday the rate of the foreign currency myself included.
Maybe they do not check the currency. And if they do, they will not see if it is good or bad.
But they will notice the price of hotel rooms when booking.

I follow about 10 people on youtube, people who were making Thailand videos. 6 of them moved to Vietnam and Bali. Reasons were visa problems and cost of living.
It looks like Vietnam and Bali have nice beaches too.
I know you cannot make any conclusions based on 6 youtubers moving away. But these were the people who inspired me to come to Thailand. Now they are advertising Vietnam; Easier to get a visa and much cheaper to live.

Terrible.
Clean water and no rubbish ?
The original article said:
Thai Rath reported that Thai tourists visiting a little known southern island were left thoroughly disappointed.
Pongsri, 51, and Daojai, 48, were visiting Koh Sakorn in Trang.
They expected a beautiful sunset and a clean beach.
They got polluted haze and a stretch of sand covered in trash.
"sand covered in trash" -> Usually that is plastic from the sea.

Ah, Thai people are not to blame for polution in Thailand ? ????
Most of the air polution in Thailand comes from Thailand. This is not only a problem in Koh Sakorn. And it's not only air polution. The seas are so polluted by the discharge of unfiltered sewage water and the dumping of plastic waste that you cannot swim there anymore.
It's a shame, but Thailand is the dirtiest country I've ever visited.

It seems that the requirements for getting a visum are more strict than the requirements for a job in the government ;-)))

Show me one example. I never see it. I read a lot.
My girlfriend was very surprised that I do not like beer, and that I am used to work all day. She thought that most foreigners spend all day in a bar drinking beer and never work. Her female friends had the same prejudice.
My opinion about Thai people... Usually they are ok. The ones I know are a bit lazy. Things never get finished. I notice that they do not care about the environment. And are often not very capable to do their job right. They usually don't take responsibility if things go wrong. I am not sure, but I think this has to do with culture and a work environment where own initiative and taking responsibility are not appreciated.
As a result, things like customer service aren't great either. I really hate that if I have a problem, someone is laughing without doing anything.
Oh, and where I come from we say: "Only stupid people laugh without reason."

Have you watched the footage, a bunch of yobs screaming and shouting abuse. He negotiated splendidly.
The hostile crowd were UK citizens who are afraid that they have to move back to the UK ????

Notification of address is done with the form TM.28. Is this what you are talking about?
I don't understand that this topic doesn't get more attention.
I am 100% sure that until about 3 months ago you could just get a 1 month extension on a tourist visum or VE without any TM28 or TM30. At least in BKK.

>> I have been told
Who told you ? A TM30 for a 1 month extension of a tourist visum ? Till a couple of months ago you needed your passport, a copy of the passport, copy of visum page, copy of TM6 (?), a passport photo and 1900 Baht. That's all.
Most tourists will stay at a hotel. I don't believe that a hotel will give you things like the title deeds of the property, or a Landlord's ID.
If you are sure about these new requirements it is probably best to book a hotel for a couple of nights.

A lot of Chinese tourists are "zero-dollar" tourists. It works like this:
Back in China, would-be tourists are offered heavily discounted, all-inclusive package tours that include accommodation as well as flights, transport, meals and translators. The trade-off is that, along with the usual trips to the beach and fine restaurants, tourists are also taken to overpriced shops and urged – in some cases, reportedly even intimidated – into buying marked-up goods.
Money from shopping then flows back to the tour operator from the shop owners, to make up for the money lost from the discounted travel package.
The shops in Thailand are Chinese-owned and run by Thai proxies. And much of the revenue from the shopping component of the tours flows straight back to China.

Who is telling the truth ?

To visit for a holiday is very different than living somewhere permanently.
It probably depends on personal circumstances. How much difficulties do you have with your visa? How is your income affected by exchange rates? How is your health? How is your healthcare insurance compared with what you can maybe get for free in your home country?
