It was actually in Sweden I applied. British passport. It was about 2 years ago if I recall correctly.

The last time I applied for a METV they just asked me to self-declare that I had the appropriate funds. I was not asked to provide any evidence.

1966?? You old, bro.

I would also have refrained from filming somebody in such a dangerous situation 🐨

Sounds like a must-watch.

As opposed to asking AI?

No

You paid $2000 a year for your education? I'm not sure that was a possibility for the subject of the OP.

And I'm sure that in his clearly-impares mental state, the concern of how his actions appeared to others was right on top of his priorities.

And you think that your working conditions were worse than that of a grilled squid seller in Pattaya? I notice you mentioned high school. Do you not maybe think that your school provided you at least some advantage in life? Who paid for that...? Other people's money. Do you want to talk about career progression options or further education opportunities? Whatever opportunities you had, you can be sure that they weren't available to the 99% of the people who grow up here in Thailand. Saying "I earned my [excessive] money" [all by myself]" is ridiculous. I'm sure you made some very smart decisions. I'm sure you have worked hard in your life. I'm not debating that. But you did it off the back of a society funded mostly by poor people paying taxes (because we know for sure that the wealthy don't often pay then).

I'm sure you've never spent a single day of your life working as hard as the poor vendor from the OP. It is possible to work hard all your life and still be poor you know. In fact it's not just possible, it's normal.

No

Indeed. Usually by the same people every time Some people have no shame...

Wear a clean one instead, then

That's what I said
