To qualify for the ‘digital nomad visa’, applicants will need to have a minimum personal income (salary, investment income, etc.) of at least $80,000 per year for the past 2 years or $40,000 per year with a master’s degree or above/intellectual property ownership or have received Series A funding.

 

They will also need 5 years working experience and have health insurance $100,000 or more of medical expenses. 

When I go to Chiang Mai, I see soooo many digital nomads.  Hold on, I see some now with their cameras and youtube.....

How much do you make in a year?             About 100,000 baht.   

100,000 dollars?                                                No, 100,000 baht.  From my parents

Do you have a master's degree?                  I am a master.....bater.   and youtuber

Do you have 5 years experience?                In eating 20 baht noodle soup, yes

According to the leading doctor from Thonburi hospitals, true infections are 4x higher.

impossible!!!

TVF members have quoted numbers down to ONE person every day!!!! as if it is the word of God....as if that exists.  Quoting numbers how China hasn't had a case in months!!!!  all as if they are the all-knowing!!!  hahahahhahahahahha

2,398  and then 100 posts saying it's now 2,402.    

and now EVERYONE who all these "facts" before now are quiet.  or say this is false

can't win with humans.  brain no big....brain no work good... no no.   think no no

works with asymptomatic symptoms very well!!!!

The key is to get friends to sell them for you, then they get friends, then they get friends, and you get a commission on everything.

if it doesn't work, you can sue....hahhhhahhahhhahaha...no you can't.   

remember, mild COVID symptoms might include, but not limited to, everything.  

so if you take the pills and then eat.....if you are not hungry, presto!!!!   

Instability can be very GOOD for powerful countries, as well as some inside the craziness.

Billionaires created now because they are taking and selling all the jade.  "Nationalized."   

Destabilization means Burma will turn into an Iraq.   As planned.   Give it a few more decades to get back to zero.    

This is a game played by the Illuminati.   I was given 100,000 bitcoins to never tell the real details......

watch TV, read the internet, and keep your "mind" like little sheepies.............Let the big boys do the thinking.  

I do wonder how different some neighboring countries will be will after the borders open.  Well, nobody's going to Burma.....Laos, I imagine, will be very quiet.   Cambodia.....no idea.   Vietnam (sort of a neighbor).......I think they will be strict for a long time.  

One bat changed the world for YEARS........ ruined my short term "cribbage games" where the wife would always ask, "what is that smell on you?  Why are you smiling?  Why do your games always last only one hour?.  

One bat.    Likely upset with the falang and vowed to escape his lab!!!!  

can't wait for the crazy movies............BIll, don't feed that bat!!!    Janet, why?  It's only one bat and I'm only giving it some Papaya Salad.

Customers were getting 2,500 baht loans without a guarantor. Just one catch - they actually got 1,500 baht and had to repay the full amount in 7 days. 

this is crazy.   the poor always gets exploited, ends up worse off, but thinks that today will be better than yesterday.  Oh, it might be.....BUT tomorrow will be 10x worse than today.

America is going to give away 80 million vaccines.   Too bad Biden doesn't have ties to Thailand.  America could also EASILY give every Thai 10,000 baht, but instead they give military stuff.  

Greed is us.     We are greedy.     Greed kills.    This won't change in our lifetime.

An American ex-pat driver suffered only minor injuries after he reportedly crashed into a parked car

It's amazing how this becomes a story.  I'm sure one day I'll be in the news.....googled and trolled for the rest of eternity...

Headline Story:   Ex-pat, shown here, walks off the sidewalk and almost steps into a puddle of water!!!

There must be 100 trillion tones of YaBa going up and down and across and over and under every day........i would rather read about them getting busted.

ex-pat crashes car, car flips over.  yea, flips over is a good picture.  i don't know, doesn't seem newsworthy.

and often have super cute staff.

I agree.  Definitely a plus.   

HOWEVER.........Is it ME or does have every girl in 711 have a FLAT chest?

I don't think I've ever seen some Double DD's ........... OK, maybe 0.00005%

Gotta be a company policy.   OR.....they can make better money with some D's.

Tones matter. Thinking they don't will simply limit your ability to speak the language.

of course they matter.   In fact, they matter quite a bit.

However, I think the OP is saying that there can be a number of exceptions and don't think that the tone should be 100% this way....it might be another way.   Keep an open mind.

I would add..... a RISING tone actually falls and then rises (in my head).  doesn't go up and keep going up.    Falling goes UP and then down......and doesn't go UP that long.  Quick.   All these little things can drive someone crazy.

and even sometimes I hear the easiest of words:  Chicken.  Low tone.  I hear someone say it flat.  But if I said it flat they would correct me.  So it's my ears I guess.

Teach.   rising.  Test.  Falling.   Already.  Crazy rising tone.  Pork.  Not crazy rising tone.  Duck versus Eight.   Still have no idea.  lol

two extremely wealthy Thais of Indonesian heritage were found drowned in a luxury hotel pool.

 

Police have initially determined it was a tragic accident.

One, maybe.

Two people drowned in a hotel poor?   Impossible.  OK, let me go read more....

If I saw a decent documentary or book on Turkey,  I would consider it!!!  Very interesting history.  Probably beautiful.

Talk to me in 300-years........might be worth a visit

I now realise tones are more like regional accents

exactly right.   plus in SONGS it's different.    

only problem is you might go to the same place a lot, and they have figured out what you are trying to say (80% correct, for example) and won't correct you.

and then you realize 10 million speak some Laos/Thai mix........  

just learn how they speak where you live.....easier to bond into a community.   After a while you wonder if anyone says "chai mai?" (too lazy to type in Thai).   different everywhere.

She seemed a bit unbalanced, but I, like everybody else, just ignored her.

I don't blame you.......She's crying out for help, but we are not professionals.  Sure, we can try to help everyone, but that's impossible.  I wonder if we would help more back in our home country.......maybe, maybe not.   I've given thousands of baht worth of stuff to Thai friends, but then walk right by a guy who looks like he really needs 10 baht.  

difficult situation.  

This would be GREAT.   I've been in Thailand for almost seven years and have never seen a 711.  

Most of my Thai friends go out of their way to support a local shop.

Peru more than doubles death toll after review.   added like 70,000, overnight.  I don't get the obsession with these numbers...

what we know.......covid is STILL a thing here.   Be as safe as possible.  Did you get the Vax?  no?  ok, then be super safe.

act as if covid is ALWAYS 2.000001 meters from you.......and it's mad!!!!.......

I don't ever want to have to shovel snow again!!!! LOL LOL

I remember a state saying.......You have 24-hours to shovel your snow.

If not, pay the fine!!!!   not sure how much.  maybe it was 48-hours, but it was still a little crazy.   "hey, did it stop snowing?  Yes, OK, start the timer....we don't want to pay a fine!!!"  I like shoveling, but I don't like my neighbors on the phone calling the FBI because I didn't shovel in 24 hours.  lol
