I have never worked in Thailand, retired at 32, don;t eat with 4 from 128gr tin of Tuna, or feed my kid Tulip chocolate with 12% cocoa and 64 % sugar, and tell him it tasted the same as cote d'or

Having Thai kids is not a requirement. Having an income of a certain amount and paying tax is one. Even a pensioner can come to Thailand, get the right visa he needs to get a work permit, get a job and pay taxes on it. He can even start a company and make himself director with a paid salary and pay income taxes. Because you are over 50, you have no obligation to apply for a retirement extension, you can still work if you want. So please explain again why it never can happen for you

Looks like you missed the part from my post that said, if you comply with the requirements. I'm sure your home country also will have requirements for immigrants, although they may be different. I know my country requires they have a paid job and speak the native language. On top of that they have to join some classes organized by the government

As far as I'm aware everyone can get the Thai nationality, IF you comply with the requirements, which is the same everywhere in the world. Very flawed argument

Maybe you can tell me the difference. An expat or expatriate is simply defined as a person who lives outside their native country. Similarly, an immigrant is a person who comes to live permanently in a foreign country.

To be honest, I'm here almost 30 years, and I can make myself understandable by using the Thai I know, but I can't by far have a conversation in Thai. Then again, I always see those posts on here from people who demand that immigrants in their home country should be fluent in the language or be sent back

When I look at and compare prices here with those in most European countries, then I think the thread title is not justified, and there has been more mismanagement everywhere else in the world

Strange that you were "confused" when I actually posted that already, but I get it, you always want to have the last word. Boring

Are we sure he didn't hold his pen upside down?

Why you not stop trolling Jerome?

I recently bought one at Mr DIY for my Nissan keyfob. They are not too thin if you buy the right one.

I guess you mean when the pound has decreased 5% in value. Boris, the gift that keeps giving.

I think most here miss the point that the writing on the walls will be a small problem, and the bigger problem will be all the repairs done. Those you will not be able to hide with a primer

I doubt you can hide that without plastering the walls

It depends on your settings. In your app store settings you can select updates over wifi only, any network or never And in fact it doesn't matter if it was up to date or not, if it was installed it will be reinstalled

I didn't say fluent in the language of all visitors. Stop trolling Jerome, second time

No do you? Why it would be different in ANY country, since an IO is supposed to communicate with foreign visitors, so he should at least manage the world's most used foreign language. Stop trolling every thread Jerome

Could it be because in other civilised countries it is a requirement to get a job as IO? I'm sure it is the same in Thailand

Same here, I used to eat Thai food frequently at road side restaurants. The last 4-5 years quality has decreased significantly, so I can't be bothered any more. And I don't fancy paying 150 - 200 baht for a rice topped with fried chicken and an egg at those fancy restaurants.

Try white spirit / turpentine

And he wonders why one after another of his threads get labelled as troll topics and closed

Why would you need a POA to pay the car tax, anyone can pay it. I have never been asked for identification when renewing car tax and insurance

To be honest, I think it has always been the other way around

Care taker is the correct naming, as in been taken care for, as he belongs in a caretaker home

The difference between me and you is that I live here permanently for the past 30 years, long before Atlantic bar existed. How about you, posting from your mum's basement in Oz?
