For cryptos. Just rocket-fire 30 minute online spiels saying nothing drawing candles and graphs

Technical analysis is nonsense.

I have only been grilled when I had the PE visa only happened a couple times. Always one of those smart looking cute tight uniform IOs in her 40s or 50s. Such as do you have a Thai wife, do you have kids, what do you do work, do you have a business in Thailand? Do you have a house? Maybe they were trying to catch me in a fib for working illegally, I thought maybe they liked me.

Don't worry about what the sticker looks like just learn its benefits and limitations. For under 50, not working in Thailand, not married to a Thai, and enjoying flying in and out of Thailand's international airports as much as YOU want it is a great way to go. Some Immigration IO might not like Thailand Elite and they can "grill" you sometimes but you won't be denied entry for "Coming too many times"

I would have ghosted her after the third date.

It is the visa you are going to have applied to your passport if your application to Thailand Elite is accepted and you complete payment. I think it stands for Privilege Entry.

I know a little about it I had the easy access Elite Membership for 5 years. The Elite card is not a visa at all. The PE visa you are entitled to as a member is perfectly legal and official. Yes it is valid to describe as a fancy tourist visa. It is a great program I would have signed up again but had become of legal age for longstay visa and at a certain point in 2020, the PE visa had become somewhat of a hindrance to entry!, Because you needed another permission called a TEMQ from the MoFA before you could get your Certificate of Entry from the Thai consulate!

Don't open and eat airline meals/yoghurt packs/wrapped muffins in dark without checking.

I found what appeared to be a pube from the bottom a crew meal. last month. Short ribs from Incheon Airport. Spicy and one of the only meals worth eating lately. People freak out but I did not but it on Intagram or make a writeup. I flicked it away and ate the meal anyway. Probably some dudes arm hair What is the worst thing that can happen?

Plastic and Reconstructive surgeons regularly talking clients out of procedures might go broke. Before covid-19 I would see Asian women in ICN airport mostly Chinese returning from surgi-tours all the time. Their fresh nose bandages worn as a badges of honour. So send her to KOREA. A massive insdustry there probably some of the best in the world besides Miami and Beverly Hills, and compared low price for procedures. They wont give her one of these horrid Witchy-poo noses one sometimes sees here.

Perhaps influential people have invested?

I paid a pittance. Prices of previous decades are irrelevant. New towers near Chiang Mai Night Bazaar or Central Festival popular now. Interested in Chiang Mai condos? Contact perfecthomes or check websites. There are many many for sale. Don't invest more than you can afford to walk away from, and be extra careful with countries you have no right to enter. Some condos even lie idle as in "nonperforming" where the jurrasic person can' t even contact the owners to tow away their rusting heaps taking up a parking spot let alone get their back payments due in condo fees.

Blessed to be perfectly bilingual. This primary language acquisition stage happens from birth to about age two. Sponges, I don't think linguists can explain it even. The only one (or two) I met who appear to be white western blokes what to my ear speak perfect Thai grew up in Thailand. Like born or attended primary school. I saw a few more on TV or youtube. Those might be gimmicks

Monkey pox has almost nothing to do with a munkey. https://www.businessinsider.co.za/monkeypox-human-disease-monkeys-explainer-1958-rodent-2022-5

This is what I did. But the condo seller was an aquiantance thru a friend. She let me stay in condo. Not the exact unit (it was disgusting) but her personal resedential space same floor across the hall I stayed several times over a year high season, and low to verify living conditions. So, rent one you have a chance to buy exact or similiar. See if you like the community and environs.

Too much nonsense to respond to above won't bother. Captain Monday never said "Don't buy a Condo". I bought a condo, on my own terms Not more than I can afford can lose and I can still afford to walk away. Overall, it was one of my better decisions. I was given all kind of true fear monger and outrageous reasons why not to buy. Mostly from people why don't have two satangs to rub together. From "you wont like your neighbors" to "The redshirts will prevail and confiscate it". Nobody, but nobody ever told me about a virus locking me out for 10 months completely disrupting my well curated international lifestyle. I don't regret my purchase far from it but if I could go back 15 years would be doing a lot differently. No, so from here on not "investing" any more in Thailand., Every expat needs a plan B. My plan B has become my plan A. Implementation is in effect at this time So what's in YOUR bug-out bag?

Governments are not businesses they print their own money and take half of mine to be mostly wasted. The pox vaccines were in USA Government stockpiles. Throw it away rather than share resources where tho disease has been a problem for several years.

Don't buy a condo as an investment. Everyone needs a place to live buy one if you enjoy playing owner and fixing it up as I did, go ahead. Be warned used condos have appreciated but can be very hard to sell. Don't invest more than than you can afford to walk away from. There is almost always a way to stay in Thailand if well funded but what happens when the eventual regional war or intl crisis emerges? They have proved even PR can be locked out for months, for a virus. What is your back up plan?

Meanwhile US let 28 million doses of vaccine expire. Did not share with Nigeria and others early when it could have been contained. Let's buy some more weapons. We'll never learn https://www.newyorker.com/news/dispatch/the-agony-of-an-early-case-of-monkeypox
