What does it matter how long 800k has been the required amout......800k is already a tidy sum of money....I sure dont see pension raising that much in the last 20 years or incomes unless maybe you work with computers... 800k should absolutly not be raised ...

He is a chef

Well what really sucks big time for retired expats is they only have so many years left on earth, which should be spent in peace instead of worring about their visas being made harder and harder all the time.....Its evil really... I bet many expats have ZERO to go back to....

Plenty of good points here But for over 10 years now the visas have been tightening, and many times the tighting has been cheered on by brain dead farangs, who are digging their own grave.... And all the new visas that have come out are terrible, not helpful at all.... So until this trend in visa tightening stops...The future is not looking so bright...

The most surprising thing to me is this did not happen on Koh Tao..

If the new version was better.....They would be on the mountain tops telling the world about it already.....But Noooooo its all a big secret......... I bet nothing changes but the price.... The current price is in no way cheap and is a big investment for people.... I hope they dont get too greedy with the new price... Most people I bet dont care Jack about the silly benifits.....They are just buying visa time..

A 2000 Baht fine would hardly even concern most cheap charlie farangs...lol

Well Hungry Now blew them all away but Hungry Now is no more..

Thanks for the photo....I was yawning at the lame park not your photo skills..

YAWN....

The destructon of the lovely park there was the main purpose of the parking garage... So it does not matter if a single person ever uses the parking garage.....They could care less... The parking garages main mission has already been accomplished......... No problem if the $$$$ parking garage sits there mostly un-used...

Well at least he was not throwing T.Vs and Fridges out the balcony and putting others in danger,,,,

Yep looks like we have another WEED addict here....

A German man was rescued after spending over eight hours on a condo balcony in #Pattaya yesterday afternoon, shouting, acting erratically, and stripping naked. His wife blamed his behaviour on heavy marijuana use and stress but police were skeptical of this claim.

The horse is riding in the cart along with the cabinet....And approval has been given...No need to wait.....lol

Thailand to become the press release BUZZ word, Hub of the world..

Stop using logic..... Raising the money needed for a retirement visa will be the solution to ALL crime in Thailand going forward...

Panda, Grab, Line, or shopee.....Are pretty Similar Grab has a bad habit of being backed-up for delivery at peak times.. Panda has the best app for a farang... Panda gives you points that can give you dicounts after a number of orders...

Only one thing to do....Close down the view point and remove the Pattaya sign...

The way I understand things (and I could be wrong) the very early elites were for life and could be re-sold and re-sold and it was always good for life... Then I think there was a time after were the elite could be re-sold once for life.. Then after this I think the re-sell was reduced to 20 years.... So it would depend on when you bought the visa for how much time the buyer would get on a re-sell.... I am not 100% sure but this is my understanding...

Just make the required money for a O visa 1,000,000 USD or (34 million baht)........That will keep out all the riff-raff and low lifes.........Everyone knows rich people are all good, kind and quality people.....And the middle class and fixed-income people are unpleasent and they are very far from being quality people..

Again...

And ban vaping..

Boy they can just let this virus thing die a natural death...

The fire truck issue had already been solved a few years ago when the low hanging signs were raised..... Tourist did not like the signs?......A huge BS to that.....Tourist loved the signs for photos...... Everyone loved the signs except for the people who wanted to dull-ify and bore-ify and sterilize Walking Street..
