People have in general retired to Thailand because ;

A) inclement weather

B) Ease of long stay visa

C) It was very cheap

D) Easy going lifestyle

E) Availability of much younger , attractive women / boys / in betweeners.

At best only about 50% of the above now holds true and with the present government entrenched , things will only get worse.

Yes many of you will still be happy and content , but the country is going backwards in almost every conceivable sense.

Citizens cannot even comment on the biggest problem going forward , the strangling of any form of democracy , the future aint bright !

So if i retire there now.  I am too late?   which 50% are holding true?  I hope E!

Had fun filling this in at the weekend. It does not allow you to attach pdf files, so I had to convert loads of files into jpegs, which won't be easy for your average user. Then the vaccine part is really over complicated; why can't you just attach your vaccine doc, rather than having to split up into 1st dose, 2nd dose, booster, and then attaching a QR code for each one. Basically you are doing their admin by them making it complicated so that it fills in all the sections for them!

 

Anyhow mine and wifes got approved within 2 days so I guess I can't complain.

I am new to the board looking for info to come to Thailand for a month as a tourist.  I was there in 2016.  my plan was Dubai for new years eve and expo then on to Thailand.  but after reading all this.  i think that it is not possible.

Cambodia was on my short list.....
