  1. I read about this visa on a blog that targets "digital nomads". https://www.travelinglifestyle.net/thailand-has-announced-a-new-easy-to-get-visa-for-digital-nomads/ Notice the language used in the article. the country decided to introduce the new “Destination Thailand Visa” (DTV) for those interested in a “workcation.” The new visa targets digital nomads, remote workers, freelancers and others who want to live and work in Thailand for a period of up to 360 days. The visa has a fee of 10,000 baht ($272) and allows you to stay for 180 days, which can be extended for a similar period after paying another 10,000 baht. I interpret up to 360 days as "up to 360 days total in 5 years". Otherwise, the only other way to interpret it is "up to 360 days per year". But that's practically permanent residency, not a workcation. I interpret "can be extended for a similar period" means ONE extension in that 5 year period. I could be wrong. Let's wait and see.
  2. Because too many people would stay permanently for the 5 years on border runs and I dont think Thailand can accomodate such a mass amount of digital nomads. Some people are predicting 1 billion digital nomads by 2035.
  3. I dont think so because this would eliminate the retirement visa. My interpretation is you are only allowed ONE extension in FIVE years. You are only allowed 360 days TOTAL in FIVE years. (180 + 180) So if you come Jan 1st, 2025, you stay 180 days and then extend another 180 days, you need to leave Thailand and you can not come back until 2030. Not on this visa, anyway.
  4. Following a specific team is an exercise in pointlessness at best, and frustration and misery at worst when your team loses. Just follow the best players and nobody cares who wins or loses.
  5. so what? you don't sound like a drunken sailor?
  6. elon musk is being cancelled? wow, that's big news. he's the most important person in the world with SpaceX and Tesla autonomous driving and Tesla is also making robots.
  7. you are right. any discussions of digital nomads seems to cause some hostility / envy older generations had easier access to owning property. younger generations have more access to mobility.
  8. he's not a revival of anything for me. but some of his comments are thought-provoking. he has a unique way of thinking. which is more than I can say for a lot of people. a lot of what he says doesn't interest me. you gotta cherry pick and not throw the baby out with the bathwater
  9. who says it's suppposed to go "good"? what is good? forever? it's a miracle couples stay together 2 weeks. most human beings are highly flawed individuals. i'm happy if I meet someone who can tolerate me for 2 weeks. that's my gold standard.
  10. So moon landing footage they showed us was fake because they actually found an alien base there?
  11. annoy him back. dig up some dirt on him from his previous posts and sucker punch him with it. mock his "profession" ie mopping floors. lol.
  12. you gotta stand up for yourself. no one else will.
  13. no, it can happen anywhere actually. need a backup plan .... ie a storage unit to store belongings.
  14. It's not an IQ test. It's a strange perception test. 2 people can look at the same photo and see sth different. I don't think you can deduce much. It was just a joke. OP has made some bizarre comments ... I wouldnt take him too seriously.
  15. you might be on to something. maybe they should give psychology tests at immigration before letting people in. what do you see in this photo? an old woman or a young girl? if you get the wrong answer, you dont get in.
  16. being sick is the least of his worries. did you notice that he gets inspiration by plagiarizing thread topics that were started by someone else 2 weeks ago? the guy doesnt have an original bone in his body.
  17. You guys are all "International Gigolos" is what I'm getting from this. You been around all 4 corners of the globe ( err .. flat earth), from Scandinavia to Asia to the Ice wall in Antartica and everywhere in between. You shagged em all. And they never once asked for money or commitment. And now you got "stories" and comparative analysis to tell of the most "feminine", whatever that means. Presumably just lay there and not challenge you too much? And some of you have been around so much on this flat earth that you can even spot a ladyboy a mile away.
  18. yeah, good point. but I also try to do them in the morning now. so have the whole day to burn them off. and not too much. they will absolutely turn to fat if not burned off. i learned that the hard way.
  19. just read the title ... you're DOOMED if you're looking for romance relationships are only about romance the first date. after that point forward, it's a battlefield.
  20. carbs = hard work. you need to burn it off. depends on many factors, age. etc... some people tolerate them more than others maybe. I dont
  21. Most people have the common sense to realize they will end up in prison if they murder. And most people are more interested in raising their families than this nonsense. People who kill are normally people in desperate situations or who are provoked ... Of course if you start a Youtube channel advocating they should all leave the country, you might have an extremist on your hands.
  22. better than a war torn country perhaps. but that still only makes it one of the taller midgets in the circus.
  23. Here are people gathering in Italy with fascist salutes .... Europe is probably the most screwed up place to live in the world.
  24. You guys are burning off all those carbs I hope?
