Falang in Thailand

The only 2 branches of Starbucks i go to are : Iconsiam 7th floor and EM Quartier 6 th floor garden rooftop ,  at this 2 locations i am ready to pay for the premium price they charge due to the nice view and  atmosphere(you dont get that view and atmosphere in Amazon coffee )  , i go there not for the coffee quality ,  rather for the 2 to 3 hours i spend passing time and relaxing while browsing the net with the nice view around , i find it  worth the premium price  i paid .

I read on X platform , About an expatriate who  wanted to continue getting benefits from the SS  after  retiring from his job ,so he went to the SS  Office to inquire about what documents are needed  and they  asked him to have in addition to the Yellow Tabien baan book  , The Thai Pink card  to be able to  continue with the SS health plan  ,is this a new procedure , as in most previous posts it was mentioned only the Yellow Tabien Baan as requested documents , anybody has any more info ?

Have some inquiries Regarding changing from Non – B to Non – O Based on Retirement ,if anyone can share their experience  

1) 800k has to come from Abroad or can use local fund since i am on Non B extension  .

2) Can i  apply first for 90 day extension  and later for  the 1 year extension for non O 

3) can i change to non  O on the last day of the current non B extension date or it should be at least  15 days before the expiration date

I am sure you will still need a COE to enter the country. You could apply for it before leaving to get the pre approval and then finish it after you arrive in your destination country. 

COE application site is here. https://coethailand.mfa.go.th/

You will also need the $100,000 covid 19 insurance. As a PR holder you should only need 30 days of it from the day you enter the country.

Have you checked to see if your AZ vaccinations will be accepted by the country you will be traveling to. Some may not accept the AZ vaccinations produced here.

Does a non immigrant B visa holder with work permit , require also  only a 30 day  100,000 covid insurance ?

Thailand has over 240 billion usd in Foreign exchange reserves  which it can use  gradually in small amounts  to stimulate the economy , back in 1997 it had only 25 billion USD  so couldnt interfere in the market which led to the Thai Baht depreciate to 50 baht   , i am not saying in the short term  Baht will not depreciate further maybe 34 to max 35 , however dont bet on a huge depreciation .
