I think that, with recent developments, you can't be pessimistic enough.

I was a hansum, affluent and distinguished 57 years old diver when I met my missus in Phuket. Girls could easily spot the gap between me and the mainstream Farang.

So you infer that the only reason to live in Thailand is because street food is cheap?

I feel for the driver of that car, his insurance premium is going to go up, while he was just there.

Why? I share much more time with my two girls then I have share with my previous family. And my wife will inherit my pension. And assets..

Well I am 72 and have been retired for the last 10 years, in Isarn. So kindda know what I am talking about. Isarn might be part of the problem, as one grabs every opportunity to get out of it for a week or two. And establishing and maintaining a home with the normal commodities of life is probably more expensive than in Chon Buri.

This answers the OP's question: "What is an impressive income". IMHO the LTR requirements should be a good indication, no? Also the child burden of 50% of and adult's cost is reflected in the French Income Tax system. The family is taxed as a whole and the assessable income divide between the family members, 1 for each adult 0.5 for the two first children and 1 for each subsequent children. And I never stated a kid needed 100k I said two kids needed that.

Well, whatever you say.. but there are about 6000 people who haven't gone native here...

With two kids - I need two rooms when I have a holiday; thats about 6 weeks a year. - At the restaurant they don't drink wine, but they eat as much sushis, steak, pizza, etc as mum and dad. - I need to furnish two rooms with Ikea <deleted> and a desktop. - Iphone and Ipad for both. - Swimming class. - Music teacher. - A lot of Uniclo shopping as they are girls. - They need to get to school, so two cars are needed. - School fees. - Health insurance - etc.. And yes I haven't gone native...

Sounds like you've never had children.. Or if you had you were the total deadbeat dad. But I know you only try to be provocative...

Which would increase the heat produced by the inverter. Beware of thermal runaway.

Look like just one step above the Bangkok Hilton.

Now I understand why so many people have two jobs in MAGA.

For a single, I assume? So Family with two kids 300k. I'd go along with that.

I'd pay, if they hired staff to write digests of relevant topics, medical, bank, tax. There is a lot of valuable information in the forum but I hate sifting.

This group, low IQ workers class, has always been present, but they had their share of the American dream until recently. Now the global economy frustrates them and they have social media as a vehicle for their idiotic vision.

And be especially wary of western [old] men...

We should be returning 400 dead bodies in exchange.. If all things were equal...

Yep, I can see who you are...

Lower interest effing rates. And I am sure the way the tax on foreigners has been introduced hasn't improved Thailand's reputation. Neither does the reality that MPs who consider changes to the constitution may go to jail. A bit like having a holiday in Iran in 1980...

This can't be true; two men can't have sex with each other.

Blaming the victim?

Indeed.

What I find interesting is that everyone agrees that Russia attacked Ukraine while so many deny that Israel was attacked by Hamas. Therefore you can't lose when you attack someone who has 10 times your firepower.
