You are not Thai, you never will be, simple as that. There is different social rules and expectations for Thais and Foreigners.

We do not fit in, and we are seen as a separated group with separated expectations etc. You will never be seen as part of them or comparable etc. In terms of expectations: of course they judge anyone, and they always expect the very best possible. For a foreigner, they would assume you do at least better than 40K a month, that would even be on the lower side. That's why Thais hate it so much when they see super cheap people here, or foreigners who walk around with a 2L re-fill bottle as if it is the dessert and 20 baht for a new bottle kills the bank.

Depends where you are in CM can just do via LINE at colonel visa by sending copy passport and visa stamp. They then can send by grab.

No surprise, I mean most are ex criminals and junkies. There is nothing spiritual even about almost all of them. Just shows once again how smart the average Thai is...

So what is it your are trying to say?

Bring a local with you, or the local know female lawyer, she can resolve that for 5K i guess.

Too be honest, except for the cliche ones, most ''conspiracy theories'' have turned into actual facts later on, while it was the mass media initially screaming the conspiracy word. This actually has been a active and 9/10 case trend in the past decade or so. With other words most conspiracies are (indirect) truths. Just to give an example of something that is still ongoing, not even hot yet, Astra Zeneca vaccins and covid shots in general, or the fact they said initially 1 shot is all needed and fixes all. Oh that was all conspiracy theories, wait a minute, not it's true, and even soft, reality is way worse and we yet wait to hear more. Or that they said that people who deny climate change, as the term is abused by global governments in recent modern history, is a conspiracy theory as well right. This while all these people in reality never denied that climate always changes, hence the abuse of that term. The majority is simply screaming out loud, which still is ignored until today, that even we did all we could now, it realistically effects a insignificant change, to affect the potential outcome. When knowing that, and then looking at mid-term alternatives, it would be actually a waste for the planet, to take the short-term ineffective solution, which is what we are doing now by mining tons of lithium and getting stuck with waste solar panels, batteries and more. To then now still know nuclear is better. Yeah i'm not a fool, it's obviously always about the money. That is how I got the answers too. It's all by design. To then speak of conspiracy nonsense....

She wanted to escape the never ending Vampire sucking Thai style life to then get a crazy sister call authorities for her being missing, that sister is obviously a leech. She had another foreign passport already too, so I guess she then was married to another foreigner before this new one?

So as of the lack of regulation and laws that means he just had a one sided accident and is free to go, aside from maybe having to pay damages to the electric pole. Next subject. I'm pro weed, but that's where you need some proper laws for. The way it is now, or by making it illegal again, doesn't work the best. I've taken out a few pilot lights and made some dents in car driving high in my years hehe.

Ever heard of promptpay? It actually uses phone numbers. But to answer what you try to whine about, the security privacy leak is actually worse with that. If you randomly enter numbers into the bank, or a phone number, and they use promptpay, you know their full name. I found out that way about many farangs their real names. Even the guy who hanged himself with the dark web thing, canadian, his number / promptpay still works today, at least his bank does.

I don't see the point, you still need to send money initially to cambodia in that case too. So then you might as well use a foreign card to withdraw cash here, or simply change crypto for money, if you look around there is plenty options for that too. If that is off-topic for you, it's basically the same in Cambodia as it is here, except you then bring it here. Yeah sure in that case there is not even a ATM withdrawal inside Thailand but that changes little if it comes to taxes and in the case they would actively start enforcing it. As in that case they would still look at your lifestyle and what that would cost. So that part will be taxable regardless, then the rest could still be what i said at first. Not really see another reason for why one would need to go abroad for this, if it is that bad, you should not even do it within any of these countries.

Because linux was lacking too much for the average user and that now is no longer the case. And it is still just very few anyway.

Try vietnam

Sounds like they did that by design. It is often done like that on purpose, to let the foreigner walk away. Then they can keep all and say; you wanted to end it.

So just hire some girl to be your maid or nurse? You seem to not have financial issues and that solves what you need. Next.

Maybe that is a hint right, to do something? A classical hard drive would just stop the running process or get errors when it is full too.

Let's be real, who is gonna stay here if those taxes really are as they were introduced and enforced on people like us. It's would be insane to stay, unless earning almost nothing or for some other exceptions paying little to zero tax regardless when having to. I would pay less in my own country in Europe in that case + get all kinds of benefits. Would not worry too much about this with buying a condo for now. Not sure it is a smart time in general to buy property now though, I'd rent.

I've got enough seeds to grow for a few generations so I'm not really concerned.

Assuming you have either serious capital or else this is likely income, and being American, you could get some credit right. So I would buy a 40-50K USD sailboat, then start living on that boat in one of the cheaper mooring areas in florida, aside from doing the trips to the bahamas and beyond in the season. Out of the season I would maybe store the boat if possible and then visit Thailand during hurricane season. Know a few doing this there right now and they have only 2.5-3K a month.

I would go to somewhere where the weather is good, I think florida.

I need 4,000$ a month in Thailand already, assuming I save up for a pension and save up in general, and live a very basic middle class life with 1 child in Thailand... Guess if you say it is just for a single person, well, were would you not go in the world. The school fees alone are 8K a year (some on this forum live on that annually, hard to believe).

Yeah the sales style they have in Thailand will not work in Europe, they would see trough it it lacks contents/details/facts/decision making and everyone nows whatever that guy says can be changed in a week. The weed law is just the most recent proof of that. Nobody wants to do business with unneeded additional risks factors. That's why for a few sectors like automotive or exporting stuff from Thailand it is fine, as that is kind of 'stable'. But otherwise, not really. But sure Burriram wants to do races since years, so it would be indeed very cool if Thailand could host some events. He is not wrong, he just has to make it happen. It could have a serious significant and lasting impact on Burriram and the places surrounding it in terms of jobs, hotels, more flights etc if they had like multiple big events there every year. Opening a bar there could be big business for the retired expat there hehe. I only went there once, for my first girlfriend, when I was 20 years old and I got chased away by 10 thai guys on the first night. Was also my last.

Yeah that is for sure some nonsense quote, I doubt it could be more than 75,000 baht with all the stuff they listed. The marble table being the most expensive of it, else it should be even less.

Just depends where you from, if you were English it was totally different.

He asked an agent and they charged him 200K for an extension, so he decided to think over it with some drinks, and realized this was faster to get a visa extension pending trial.
