Just look at von der Leyen, Macron and Starmer.

The party is over. Reciprocal tariffs is the right thing to do.

UPDATE I've done my visa change from exempt entry to NON O retirement (it's actually a visa application, model TM87) with money in the bank option, in Chiang Mai. The experience was quite smooth, no crazy long wait or requests. There is a new model to fill in for "fact checking information" STM 11. Easy one. Because of all the Immigration holidays in April I happened not to have enough days left for my application (even though I applied almost one month in advance), so I had to pay 1900 baht for a visa exempt 30 day exstension I could have avoided if going there 2 days earlier. So mind on that! I paid the 2000 baht fee for the visa application and I was given a receipt saying that application is under consideration, and I have to come back on 24-4-25 to get the 90 day stamp. I applied on 28-3-25. My actual permission to stay expires on 22-5-25. Question: do you maybe know what date my 90 day stamp will start from? Cheers

Dear all, I'm going to apply for a visa change from exempt entry to NON O retirement at Chiang Mai Immigration Office, with money in the bank. They're asking for Bank Saving Certificate - seven day validity - see attachment: What is this? What does it mean? Letter from the bank stating that...? Thanks.

If I check hotel's prices, it seems to be more expensive than what it used to be for march and april, so there's still enough tourists looking for rooms to stay.

Never as much as the English and French.

Why should Thailand care what the european parliament says? The EU is just tyranny.

Is it possible that you're mentally not capable?

They may have a low IQ, but that's going to be higher than yours anyway.

You could give a call to the Foreign Minister of Thailand.

What did Biden do more than sleeping and giving billion usd out when not sleeping? Oh wait, he also tried to start WWIII.

No need to pay tax in Thailand if your country has a double taxation agreement with Thailand. Unless, of course, you are working here with a regular work permit.

I always wonder what these young people do in life? Don't they study or work?

Yes, you are right: 1. Too many tourists. 2. And most of the time they are irrespectful. 3. Thais are on average less poor (more rich) than before. 4. Covid has worsen general attitude. 5. Globalization etc

Have you recently been in Pai? Have you seen what's going on there? They lost control of the village. A huge number of tourists are lining the pockets of hotel and restaurant owners, who are mostly Thais originally from the south, Bangkok or Chiang Mai, who have very little interest in things going back to normal.
