Smart advice. Thank you!!

Update. I had 1 cat spayed and 1 neutered at different vets. Both vets required 4-6 visits with many vaccinations and a blood test before the operation with followup appointments. The male was 3000 all-included and the female was about 3500. The operation is about half the total cost.

This works out to less than $1400 per tourist visit

Thanks for recommendation. I had not heard of this place so checked online and saw bud starting at 5 baht/gram.

Prikpot has been OK, but not the cheapest and their THC levels are exagerated

You are right. Thank you for pointing out that there WAS an opportunity during covid. PAST TENSE. Now in late 2024, the prices are up as the nomads fly in. BKK prices are stupid...so I moved to Chiang Mai where I got a better condo for 5000 month. 1/3 BKK price.

So true!!!

USA Citizen here. I left in 2022 because the US was becoming lawless in many cities FOR ILLEGALS! In Illinois and PA the cops did not arrest illegals with no drivers licence: Only americans got arrested. Crazy. I hope Trump will MAGA!

Yes. Maybe on Tim Newton? People are complaining about LOUD farang parties

My 5 baht bandage cost "only" 200 baht at samitivej sukhumvit LOL! But they billed me for 3!! I agree that private hospitals may overcharge deliberately to increase profits and that customers must be alert and push back.

...Or bake it to decarboxylate and extract the THC in butter or brownies.

I got the LTR because I can, but may live in EU/USA more than 6 months per year. So, the Thai insurance is not very useful. Beyond your very limited comprehension, obviously.

Same experience. Now Un-Wise takes up to 7 days to move USD to Baht.

I thought of this but read somewhere that the BOI will audit compliance with LTR requirements before issueing second 5 year LTR. I changed from PC to AXA insurance because AXA offers plans tailored to specific visa categories.

God is the greatest or Allahu Akbar الله أكبر you infidels! Jippytum: I am an anglo which is why I live in Thailand. Thank you for those horrific stats.

Since the 1960s there has been a UN/globalist desire to reduce population growth that has been reflected in many policies

Birth rates have fallen in all SE since 1960s, Thailand is not an exception and still has a birth rate higher than many countries. In the chart below, the vertical black lines show the period in which China's one-child-policy was in effect. What is interesting is that birth rates fell faster in other countries that did not have this policy. Birth rates are falling because people have more choices and choose not to have more kids

The UN WPP Forecasts Thai population to fall 38% by year 2100. This is based on continued low birth rates, which hav been below 2 since the late 1980s. Without offsetting immigration, a birth rate below replacent levels of about 2.1 causes population to fall. Source: https://population.un.org/wpp/

Old CPU is a smart man. THANK YOU FOR HELPING ME! So great when expats help each other! Thank you!

Thank you all very much for your helpful comments. Really appreciate as expatriating can be hard! In 2022/2023 I showed BOI my USA Fidelity investment accounts. They replied that the assets were not in cash, but in investments, so not acceptable to meet their criteria. The BOI official apologized and said his boss told him to tell me that. Is $1+ million USA investments enough to meet this criteria? Maybe I should ask BOI again. THANK YOU ALL IN ADVANCE FOR YOUR THOUGHTFUL REPLIES.

100K USD in any bank or any Thai bank with zero interest?

This is fake that you made or real? If real, provide the link. thank you

I suggest you go to Spain and drink heavily, lol. I spent 1 month there in 2024 and took great advantage of the wine supply.
