PM, we are having floods, yea same old <deleted>... Ok good talk see you next year.

They are just fine tuning their face mask recognition system. As soon as the bugs are ironed out then they can track you with and with out a mask...

Safe in the hands of their big brother China.

Happens in the US. Think reverse mortgage. Biggest rip off in decades and government sponsored. Elderly are displaced daily.. Only difference is in the US it is done legally and with fast talking salesmen. And is not done in error, it is done on purpose.

Usual BS. Amazing Thailand

10-1 in 2025 he stays the PM.. Or someone that has been groomed for the job.

Just trying to make Xi happy, hoping China will open to Thailand. Masks rubber gloves, disinfecting runways will become the norm... LOL.

Funny, at the Laos Thai border crossing. On the Thailand side everyone has a mask on. As soon as they cross into Laos everyone throws them in the trash. LOL. Not a mask to be see in Laos.

They may pick up a few more tourists but not many. And predictions for the next five years is high inflation. There is nothing they can do now to help. Absolutely nothing.

Except China! Lets hope they stay closed for the next 20 or 30 years..

I hope I am still around to see the outcome of de globalization. And what China, Thailand and SE Asia as a whole is like in another 5-10 years. This is a game changing time for the world to sort out.

I doubt the US could care less about Thailand and increasingly SE Asia. It's over plain and simple.

If you start at 0 the increase will be what ever the number is , so infinity! But, it is the same even if you have a non zero number IMO. I don't agree, I am getting old and had to sit down and write this down.. When you want a percentage you are looking for the difference between two numbers as a percentage. So anything greater than 0 would be the percentage. Example: 2-0 = 2 x 100 = 200%. No matter what number you have, if starting with 0 you will get a number that is the exact percentage of that number x 100. Now, if you have any number other than 0? Then the equasion would look like this. 3-1 = 2 , 2/1 =2 x 100 = 200%. You would have to follow that equation if any number other than 0.. example: 10,000 -1000 = 9000, 9000/1000 =9x100=900%. I am very interested in your opinion.. Please correct where I am wrong..

From 0 tourists to 2 tourists is 200% rise...

10 Baht 300 Baht doesn't matter. No one is going to come back again same as before. Covid sped up the process by years. Now with the world in a recession forget about it. Everything I have read says inflation is going to be out of control for 5 years at least. Government should be trying to figure out how they are going to feed the people instead of tourists.

Joke of the day!

Personally I say good, I hope Thailand partners with China all the way. The faster it lays with the Chinese the faster the US will cut off ties and exclude it as a trade partner. A win IMHO. Enjoy your 5G, of course as the regime tightens control it will be a high speed propaganda machine only. Anything that speeds up the move from Asia to SA and Mexico the better. The days of Thailand playing both sides is over.

Doesn't matter right now, the dollar is the most stable, transparent and sought after currency in the world. Where do you think the rich Thai's , Russians, Chinese and the rest of the world are parking their money right now? Let me give you a hint, it ain't the Thai baht. As long as the rich from around the world are buying the dollar. The US can print until hell freezes over. Instead of buying Bitcoin, you should start buying the Chinese Yuan.

Just don't blow your nose,, So after every blow-J0b you have to re-vax.....

Yes, I saw that. Best of luck..

Yes, most of the guys here think a one years extension is retirement security. Most of these guys have been here for a long time and will do anything to remain. I have a feeling hard times are coming. Hope not , but I for one will just enjoy my self when I want a break from a real retirement destination with permanent residence. Not knocking Thailand what so ever. Just not a secure retirement destination. I have a pickup in Thailand , at present I am in Laos. But, love Thailand for the food. I occasionally spend the rainy season in Thailand, The air pollution is so bad in this part of the world when they are burning I find it unbearable.

Exactly what I said, there is no retirement visa here. Only a yearly extension.

Anyone can do that? Doesn't change the facts that Thailand does not have a real retirement visa!

Yes Sweet. Last year was good this year is even better. Especially if living out of the US.. Mexico is the huge winner here. Only showing 175K or so in the bank... So sweet....They have a true perminent visa. So doe's most of SA.. Us boomers are the luckiest people by far..
