decided that after this coming year, I will stop maintaining 800k baht in a bank. I like thailand a lot. but you know, there are many other places in the world where you can live on less than 1000 usa dollars a month. PI, vietnam, cambodia, malaysia, indonesia, etc. EVEN japan if you don't mind living in a share house. after this coming year, I will just stay in thailand on their 60 day visa free option. I hear you can even do them back to back at least twice a year with no issues. lots of my friends do this. come to thailand twice each year. if you do it 3 times, thats 6 months. japan has 90 days visa free which you can do twice each year. back to back too. in PI you can stay an entire year by just paying 250 usa dollars each year in extension fees.

not hard to learn how to speak a language. it's reading and writing that I have a problem. when learning a new language, don't try to learn everything at once. break it into pieces. learn 500 phrases. once you reach that point, those 500 phrases will enable you to learn the other stuff. with 500 phrases, you should be able to carry on a simple conversation. hello. how are you. where you from. excuse me. how old are you. where's the toilet. I love you. etc. etc. etc.

I get along with people. so, I don't know what to say to you. maybe you have some physical issue like you smell. or have a grumpy look? I travel the world. meet people everywhere. there will always be people who simply don't like the way you look. get over it. and do the numbers game.

it's the language barrier. if you speak thai I think you will have many thai friends who will enjoy hanging out with you. that is why people should learn the language of the country that they want to live in. I know 4 languages for this very reason. next year I'm going to japan and the plan is to learn japanese. common sense.

do what I am going to do.. wait a year to see what happens. I am guessing. but I think many issues will pop up. so, this DV animal might not be around soon. for one thing, all the elite visa people will get pissed off. and then, there will probably be MILLIONS of people wanting to take advantage of this since people as young as 20 can apply. can you imagine what will happen if the numbers coming in grow over 50 million? china and india both together there are 3B people. california could send over all the homeless they have to alleviate the problem there.

I'm currently living in thailand on a thai retirement visa extension. I did the numbers. it's a tossup for me on whether I go with DTV or continue with thai retirement visa extension. on the other hand, this DTV visa will bring in large numbers of foreigners simply because the age limit is 20 years old. I wonder if thai immigration realizes how many people will come? population of thailand is around 70 million. can thailand accommodate 10+ million MORE? people from russia and china alone who are running away from their countries will overrun thailand. that's my guess. china has population of 1.4B. india same. russia 90M. it will become scary here if they all come. I think thailand should reconsider this DTV visa. my 2 cents.

another thing... I think the reason so many people are harassing trump is to draw the attention to one fact that I think many people do not realize. ....there are 330 million people in the usa. 166 million of them are registered voters. the numbers split between liberals and conservatives. 80 lib/80 cons. that said.. in year 2000, heritage foundation reported they believe there were 8 million illegals in the usa at that time. in year 2010, that number grew to 30 million. it is not 2024. I believe the number has raisen to over 100+ million. just a guess mind you. but with the border being open for 12 years under obama and biden, it's believable. all this talk focused on trump is redirecting the attention of everybody. and the reason I believe they are doing this is because if there are over 100+ million illegals or even close to that number in the usa. if the idiots on capitol hill approve another amnesty, these illegals and those who support them will take over the usa without a shot. and the only way that the country will be able to resolve this later is by civil war.

my 2 cents.. the reason why they all hate trump is because he plans on deporting all the illegals once he is in the WH. bush advocates the union of canada, usa and mexico. I think he called it NAU north american union. his son jeb is married to a mexican lady. mit romney has close association with mexico because his family were missionaries there. I think he might even have dual citizenship usa and mexico. and as for mccain, he lived in panama. I think these 3 have loyalties to mexico because of their past associations. trump is the ONLY one who is focused on the needs of americans in america. his agenda is 1) deport the illegals, 2) stop the unfair trade, 3) stop supporting the 1000 military bases stationed around the world protecting other countries AT OUR EXPENSE. it's all PRO-usa. and that is why I support president trump 100%. TRUMP 2024. america FIRST!
