What's wrong with wanting to spend a year in Thailand studying the language (because maybe you want to live here in the future) or learning thai boxing? Same thing, what's wrong with wanting to be a tourist for 6 or 12 months? I don't see any problem in that. The problems start when you abuse the system, going on that way for many years, maybe with the help of an agent.

Digitalization of services is making everything more difficult and slow, the exact opposite of what it is supposed to achieve. You're treated as a scammer by default.

Be careful if you buy/sell crypto using a Thai bank account if you are not a Thai citizen, regardless you use a Thai or foreign exchange. Better don't do it at all.

There's life outside.

By definition, digital nomads aren't part of the Thai life and routine. They're nomads. Most of the time they do not have a Thai partner. Usually meeting only other foreigners. They're living in their own world. They're not mixed with thai life.

In order to keep the EU bandwagon alive and bear the weight of the enormous trade deficit due above all to Germany, we (European) were forced to kneel like servants.

Apart from using us as a cash cow, what's the logic about getting a re-entry permit? The visa (extension, whatever) is already there, just give me another 'admitted until' damn stamp!

Warmongering propaganda disguised as news.

In the city I live, I see the most expensive restaurants, massage shops and hotels full with customers.

Welcome to Pattaya, a dumping ground for the worst dregs from the West.

a failed nation without the use of alcohol. how sad.

That's ok for a place like Pattaya.

The age gap problem is quite a western only thing.

Not at all.

The ladies.

They drive/ride like animals.

Do not do it unless you have a long time Thai partner (wife) that you can trust.

I converted from visa exempt to NON O retirement at Chiang Mai Immigration, very easy to do. You just need to show the required documents. Cost 2,000 baht. The funny thing is that agencies were asking 20,000 for the same thing!!! I mean, I have my own money in the bank, you're not lending me money or something similar, why does it cost 10 time more??? Amazing!

Start counting the 3 months from the day you get the 1 year stamp?

Well done Dubai. Disgusting ugly monster.

Where is the problem? If you like to smoke it just refuel before the change. Small bag can last one year.

They're shy and prefer to hide their face.

Thailand attracts the worst of the West.

Because they have a miserable life. One way or another, they feel trapped here. Most of the time, it's westerner men without a thai partner.

The lowest position on the social hierarchy is occupied by women who work in bars.
