Family appeal for missing British man in Thailand
Don't come to Thailand, all sorts of dangers, some lethal. Some many better and choices in or near Europe. Nothing beats skiing in Winter. Scuba diving in Egypt is a lot safer than drinking in Phuket.

Weekly Thai Ministry of Public Health COVID reports
Rightly they assume that by now everyone should have understood that those most likely to die from Covid are the sick and elderly. So get vaccinated if you belong to that category.

BOI LTR important to maintain qualifications
Honestly, I a doubt immigration will ever do away with corrupt agents, as they are an essential component of their graft collection process. But in a few decades a truly elected government might look at Singapore and ask for help for a thorough cleansing.

Ok, so lets just hope they won't catch too many LTR holder in breach of their commitments, otherwise we'll end up making monthly financial reports.

LTR Visa is Now available for Long Term Residency
You might take note of @oldcpu's post. I checked with wifey, and at renewal she was with me, with her blue book and my yellow book. Sorry if I mislead somehow. Now, some local immigration offices might just be happy to issue a certificate, for a fee. Chamchuri will never hear about it.

Ceiling Insulation
Just try to paint 1 sqm of that roof, outside, with white paint. Then check the temperature in the centre of that patch and compare to any other area of that roof and make your own decision. You couldn't do that with metal sheets of course. Also as someone suggested a layer of ceiling boards would help too, but to me that roof looks weak and not cope with the extra load, it may have leaks that could damage the boards.

Philippines is going to fill up
If I had to stay away 6 months a year, I'd do 8 weeks in Malaysia, 6 at Lake Toba, 6 in Pokhara, and 6 in Vietmam. The first year at least because there are other places that gave me fond memories. Lake Toba is a bit risky, as far as healthcare is concerned, otherwise I'd be happy to stay there much longer.

What part of Asia are people more friendly?
I would be tempted to say Vietnam. But it is probably because I had two projects projects there and the work/after works relationships were great. Vietnamese are outstanding engineers, keen to speak English. While Thais are just.. Thais.

Amusing that one, BOI have reinvented perpetual movement. I live in Surin, and would need to spend on night in Bangkok to do my TM30, going back to Surin I would need yet another TM30, so off to Bangkok again, etc..
