Thaivisa is a social media forum on the internet, therefore people use abbreviations that all experienced internet users understand.  You can Google OTOH to find out what this common abbreviation means, unless you're a member of "the lazy typists brigade."

type "OTOH" instead of "on the other hand" and join lazy typist brigade!

It seems they targeted the nationalities with proof of funds requirements that have the largest expat communities ?

immigration rules (retirement) apply to all nationalities, exceptions some neighbouring countries. there's no such thing like targeting.

What part of the English language-albeit modified by us Antipodeans-would you describe as a foreign language?

esky... drop bears... Bundy...

Take a chill pill my friend...after all,it is Easter Sunday.

 

This is just blokes hanging out together,being a tad metaphysical and pondering whether the esky has miraculously re-filled itself or whether the drop bears have decamped with the Bundy..

isn't using foreign languages against forum rules?

More people have died and are dying because of religion than have ever been saved by it 

That's quite debatable, do you have any numbers ?

The Thirty Years’ War was a 17th-century religious conflict fought primarily in central Europe. It remains one of the longest and most brutal wars in human history, with more than 8 million casualties resulting from military battles as well as from the famine and disease caused by the conflict. The war lasted from 1618 to 1648, starting as a battle among the Catholic and Protestant states that formed the Holy Roman Empire.

any equivalent number of being saved by religion?

my conclusion is that both your comments are totally irrelevant in a thread who's topic is "Do you believe in God and why"

It's your day to take potshots at other posters, evidently.

it's my day to point out irrelevant muslim bashing.

Wonder why the Chimpanzees never evolved too ? 

regards worgeordie

"from whom we evolved." Is self explanatory.

no it's not. i suggest some re-education on human evolution.

Thais have a tendency to be quite traditional and if you are attractive and single they feel compelled to come up with an explanation for what they see as abnormal behavior.  Some of those possible explanations are not particularly flattering.

thanks for the explanation. i'm not exposed to Thai polite society which surely would comment my abnormal life style unflattering.

A single farang male is always going to raise eyebrows and questions in polite society and I imagine even more so in a rural environment.

please enlighten me why and also define "polite society".

And I see you've also joined the group that reads 14 pages of a thread about a hypothetical question. Hope you secretly enjoyed every single post on here.????

i only read your first post who's content was boring. just now i read your "solution" post who's naïveté amused me and i smiled. looking forward to read your solutions for

-changing Thailand's climate to a more moderate one.

-allowing expats to vote.

-teach all Thais (age 6 to 96) to conduct a simple conversation in decent English.

These comments on here are generally what I expected when I started this Thread. There are some good posts by people who genuinely recognize there is a problem that has massively increased over recent years. There are also others that, in my opinion, bury their head in the sand and ignore the problem or pretend it doesn’t exist. While a third group think there isn’t a problem anyway.

there's another group (to which i belong) who find it quite boring to waste time answering hypothetical questions like yours.

I agree. Obviously, a lot of people can't afford to put a big lump of cash in a bank and not touch it for 5 months and I sympathize with that situation. But the people who brag about their great wealth overseas then complain that they can't squeeze a paltry 800K baht out of their butts because they are "savvy investors" are full of it.

i'm not saying anything but quoting the chap who's girlfriend is not liable to do any 90 day reports.

I thought that people on Thai Elite visas had their 90-day reports done for them, as part of the package?

 

I know people here who have deposit-based retirement extensions done by agents, and they get their 90-day reports done for them as part of the extension package too.

as the OP's girlfriend leaves 8 times a year Elite Visa would have a hard time to do her 90 day reports but possible if she lived on Jupiter or Saturn.
