That's the plan, step 1. Step 2 is to starve Iran and force political change.

I'd guess that this is the key, the savings made by keeping the pensions frozen may be outweighed by the cost of tens of thousands socially and economically fragile returnees. Best of luck..

Seems that some guys came here with zero planning. And somehow can't go back?

Amazing sentence. I was raised seeing miners happy to walk to the bus stop to catch the bus to their afternoon shift.

Looks pregnant to me..

Dumb, as in Russian bully??

Is this a new therapy, for Thai males? Could prove useful.

The Ukrainian question.

How about a 1964 VW Kombi?

2030 would be just great, AFAIAC.

Thanks Gott,

Got a 5 five seater, and a vasectomy.

Totally. Boomers got it right, our kids tried to better us and they got this mess. I'll stand my ground, until I die.

I stopped Tuesday.

You forgot to mention recently naturalised Thai subjects... Maybe some more generous exemptions, for ALL pensioners and families ?..

"3 in 1" goodness gracious! The ultimate desecration of Coffee. Why not orange juice in Red Wine. Have it if you wish, but don't call it Coffee.

"Doxy PEP, when offered, should be implemented in the context of a comprehensive sexual health approach, including risk reduction counseling, STI screening and treatment, recommended vaccination and linkage to HIV PrEP, HIV care, or other services as appropriate. Persons who are prescribed doxy PEP should undergo bacterial STI testing at anatomic sites of exposure at baseline and every 3–6 months thereafter. Ongoing need for doxy PEP should be assessed every 3–6 months as well. HIV screening should be performed for HIV-negative MSM and TGW according to current recommendations." Also, For the past 25 years when I felt that my risk was unacceptable I used the "UN rape kit" , read page 17 of the attachment. This "kit" has change a lot over the years, in my early missions it was just Bactrim... Forgot to mention that I use HIV Prep (on demand), but by now everyone should be fully aware of this kind of protection. But don't get it daily without having your kidney function assessed by a proper hospital.

You surely must be pleasant to have dinner with..

You mean removing ALL stray and feral dogs, once for all. Would be a nice assignment for the army, but sadly no one has the balls to do such thing. These dogs make Thailand a third world country, and sadly the Thai want to keep it like that.

Just as it is normal for a whole tambon to bareback the same pool of 15 cambodian girls at the local karaoke.

Dunno where you come from, but in Oz the first 400000 would be tax free (instead of 150000) while the higher tax brackets are similar. In France I'd pay half the amount I could pay here since they tax the family unit. And I am pretty sure in the US it would be even less on this sort of income. As to the "work" issue, I meant someone young and active can step up his activity to compensate for sudden extortion by a corrupt government, while this option doesn't exist for someone in his seventies.

I knew she was an overachiever. She will be the best Thai PM ever. not

That's not so, not there is a wide variety of situations. And as @Presnock pointed out the topic is Thailand Elite, and I doubt there are many holders of this visa who would rely on state pensions to survive in Thailand.

Likely scenario as modest incomes in the 1 to 4 Million are taxed 25 to 30%. Which is obscene for pensioners who don't have the capacity to "work more".

Good.
